Elebration

This little guy is one of my new stamps that I received from my latest Stampin Up order called Elebration. He's just too darn cute. I coloured him with Copics N3 & N5 and in the ears I used R12. For the balloon and the cake I used my Tombow markers. I die cut and embossed the image with my rectangle Nestabilities and mounted him on black cardstock. I stamped my sentiment which is from the Stampin Up Set "Teeny Tiny Wishes". The dsp is from Cosmo Cricket called "DeLovely". I love the bright colours in this pad and I'm sad that I'm running low on this 6 x 6 pad.

Little Monters

This card was made with a Bella stamp called Monstah Bash.  I coloured them with Prisma pencils and gamsol.    The cloud background was made with the Rosie Roadshow template.  I added a little bling to set off the sentiment.  The sentiment stamp is from Inky Antics.  I seem to use this stamp on a lot of my boy birthday cards.  The dsp paper is from Bo Bunny's Alora Collection.

I've had some enquiries regarding the units beside my 4 x 4 expedit from Ikea. The drawer units are called Alex. I have four of them stacked two high. I've had these units for about 4 years now and they still look great. I have stored punches in the drawers with no problem with the weight. Most of these drawers are filled with wood mounted stamps. I can stack two stamps high in the narrower drawers and three high in the taller drawers.

Here is a link to the ikea website for these particular units.

Song Bird

I'm back with a challenge card from Splitcoast Stampers. The challenge was to do a card with a music theme. These stamps are from two sets from A-Muse that I picked up in Seattle called Chirrup and Avian Notes.

Craft Room

Well, I don't have any more excuses not to be posting anymore to my blog. My room is finished and will now be spending a great deal of time here. Here are some pictures of my craft area. I seriously could do a commercial for Ikea. I should really try to find some before pictures of this room. It was really ugly with ugly green carpet.

Another Christmas Card

I really should make some other types of cards, but I need to build up the stash for Christmas. Here's another one I did this last week. I'm trying to use of some of my scraps, and I found these Snowflakes that I had in a secret drawer of my Creative Memories cutter. I don't think it is suppose to be a secret, but I always forget about it and find all sorts of goodies in there. Anyways, the snowflakes are from Spellbinders. The circle sentiment is from Denami Designs as well as the ear muffs. The earmuffs come in a set of four and I thought they would go perfect in the centre of the sentiment.

A Winter Song

Winter Song is the name of this stamp from Elzybells Art Stamps. I love colouring her because all you have to do is colour her to match the paper and she looks good everytime. I wasn't sure about the ribbon, but I think it works.
