Imagine Nation Monday! ~ Episode 183

Hello My Creative Friends & welcome to another Imagine Nation Monday! For my project today, I decided to use the "Best Friends" cartridge! This 8x8 layout could NOT be anymore simpler!!;) You can see how it was done in my video! For all the sentiments I used are from my stamp set "Mom You Rock"! I don't "Love" this page, but when you are in a super hurry, the Imagine definitely comes to your rescue! What you didn't see in the video was that I added some dk. brown stitching & some stickles to the butterfly!

here is my video showing you how I did this EXTRA SIMPLE page! OH, a few of you had asked me what happened to my old music??? Well the thing is, "I" don't even know what happened to it!! LOL.... So, I'll have to go w/different music for now! Hope you enjoy the video my friends!;)

Well, THANK YOU for stopping by! I hope you have a FABULOUS day AND on Thursday, I have something EXCITING to share w/you!;) I "THINK" you are going to want to hear this! So stay tuned for my next Throwback Thursday challenge this week!;)

P.S. The winners to both of the blog hops will be posted here tomorrow (Tuesday)!

Love Your Pet Blog Hop! - Episode~182

Go to "Gloria's Birthday Blog Hop" HERE~! There is a giveaway you might want to check out!

Good Morning & welcome to our "Love Your Pet Blog Hop"! If you just arrived here from Miss Erika's blog, then you are headed in the right direction! The reason for today's hop is every year the ASPCA has their "Prevention of Cruelty to Animals" during the month of April and encourage people to "Go Orange for Animals"! I'm not sure about any of you, but whenever I see a stray animal, I am ALWAYS the one to pick it up & find their owners! I know if I don't do this, I am ALWAYS afraid that someone who isn't pet friendly might get ahold of them 1st & abuse them:(  I see too many stories on animal cruelty & it just breaks my heart! So this is why I chose to do this hop because my furry babies mean the WORLD to me & I will do anything for them to make sure they are always protected!
Here is a 8x8 page I made in honor of MY furry babies! Meet Angel & Scrappy! These are my other 2 beautiful kids! In my video I show you how I designed it using my gypsy! It's VERY simple & to the point! For all the sentiments you see here are from my stamp set "All Star Baby"! I thought this set was PERFECT for my layout! I hope you like it!;)

Here is my video showing you how I designed this SIMPLE page!

Okay, for today's giveaway, I thought I would give away the stamp set I used today! It is called "All Star Baby" & I just think it's the PERFECT set! So all you have to do is leave ONE comment under this post & I will choose the winner on Monday! Good luck!;)

Okay, your next stop is the "Most Talented" person who is my BESTIE! Yep! Miss Nikki is next in this hop! I am POSITIVE she has something AWESOME for you!;)

My Creative Time's Design Team Thursday!

Good Morning my Creative Friends & welcome to another Design Team Thursday! Today I had  asked my design team to create either a 6x6, 8x8 or a 12x12 scrapbook page! All I have to say is that they ALL ABSOLUTELY have OUTDONE themselves once AGAIN!;) So I just want to THANK my AWESOME DT for ALWAYS showcasing my stamps so BEAUTIFULLY!;) Okay, onto the projects!

For my page, it is an 8x8 layout & I LOVE to do this size because it's simple & to the point (for me that is!! hehehe) I used 3 different stamp sets for it! First of all, that ADORABLE Bunny w/the 3 eggs are from Peachy Keen's newest release called "Easter Patch" ! I just think this is the CUTEST set EVER! All of the sentiments are from my stamp set "Color Me Happy" one of my FAVORITE sets I designed!;) I also used another one of my favorite sets called "My Journaling" & this is PERFECT for any layouts & even cards! The background paper is from my new FAVORITE DCWV stack called "Playtime"! If you are a fan of Kraft paper, then this set is for YOU! I just LOVE it! The twine is from "The Twinery" and that PERFECT GLITTER paper is from Peachy Keen Stamps which you can purchase HERE!

Here is a video of how I created my page!

Onto my AWESOME designers! First off we have this ADORABLE Owl layout Miss Leanne created & she used two of my stamp sets for it ~ "Polka Dot Surprise" and "All-Star Baby"!

Here is another shot of it so you can have a better look at the sentiment she used all around her page! This is from the "All-Star Baby" set!

Here we have Miss Katie who created this FANTASTIC layout of her son! I just LOVE all the details! Katie also used two sets as well. She used "Polka Dot Surprise" and "My Journaling"!

Okay, my next designer~ Miss Linda is teasing us today! She only gave us a "Sneak Peek" of hers so you most DEFINITELY want to head on over to her blog (along w/everyone else's) to see what she has in store for you! Whatever it is, I know my Quilling Queen has done an AWESOME job! For her page, she used "My Teacher Rocks" stamp set!

For Tanner's  AMAZING  layout, he actually used my "Exclusive" stamp set that I had offered w/my last release! Since it was "Exclusive" it's not available for purchase at the moment! Don't Forget to check out Tanner's segment on his blog "Wake up w/Tanner" this morning!

ALright, now for my "Special Guest Designer"! I would like to introduce to you Miss Sherrie Koning! All I have to say about her is "WOW" She does AMAZING work & I just LOVE how her page turned out! She used "Wow! So Many Candles" for her layout & it came out PERFECT!

Well, that's it folks!!! :) Don't forget to visit all the designers today & leave them some "Well Derserved" love! have a GREAT day my friends & I will see you back here tomorrow for a SUPER FUN Hop you don't want to miss!;)

For my card I used my "New" FAVORITE stamp set in the WHOLE World "Faceless Bugs"! I told you that this was going to be my new "GO TO" set & I REALLY think it's SO ADORABLE! I used a square & a scalloped punch & they both are from Stampin up.The pattern paper is also from Stampin up! The kraft, black & linen color cardstock including the ribbon is from my FAVORITE, Papertrey Ink! That sentiment is from my stamp set called "Just a Little Note"! I also inked up all the edges w/Tim Holtz photo ink! I wasn't sure if I liked my card or not! I made it exactly how I visioned it & after really staring at it for a long time, I think I LOVE it! I embossed my sweet little bugs as well as my sentiment!

Here is the sketch to follow!

Peachy Keen Spring Blog Hop!

FINALLY, ALL of you get to feast your eyes on the CUTEST CUTEST Spring release from Peachy Keen Stamps! If you have just arrived here from my Bestie "Nikki" then you are definitely headed in the right direction!  All I have to say is "WOW"!!! The set I am featuring is called "Faceless bugs" which is available NOW HERE along w/ALL the other FABULOUS sets!!! Let's just say that I think I have a BRAND NEW "GO TO" stamp set! Everything about this set just brings a HUGE smile to my face! Sorry I have no video for you, we are STILL going back & forth to the doctors for my hubby & that is definitely time consuming. So I was able to make these cards just in time!;) Okay, 1st things 1st, I would like to announce the winner of the stamp set I sneaked a couple of days ago, which is this set "Faceless Bugs"! The lucky winner that random.org is..........#16 Leanne! I will email you shortly Miss Leanne!

Okay, now onto my cards!

This is the card I did for my sneak peek! Isn't it SOOOO SUPER SWEET?? I just fell in love w/that bumble bee & I think it went PERFECT w/my stamp set "Turn That Frown Upside Down"! That AWESOME glittery paper will soon be carried by Peachy Keen Stamps! Of course that twine is from "The Twinery"!

For my next card I used my two favorite colors together, Purple & Green! As you can see, I kind of  "O.D'd" on the stickles!! LOL...... I just couldn't help myself!!! hehehehe! For that AWESOME border, I used my double loop Martha Stewart punch & I also used my brand new "Sew Easy" which arrived at my house "literally" one hour ago!!;) It was dying to get out of the box! Of course as you can see I did not use the thread that came w/it (since time was not on my side) I just used the tool & outlined it using my Stampin up "Eggplant Envy" marker! I think it actually matched my butterfly just perfectly!;) Of course the twine I used is from my favorite "The Twinery" & that two sentiments are from my stamp set called "Mom You Rock"

Now, for this card, I used the BEAUTIFUL Dragonfly from this set! When I think of dragonfly's, I think of "Making a Wish"! So I decided to use that sentiment from my stamp set "Polka Dot Surprise"!  I was also DYING to use "Market Street Stamp's" background stamp called "Vintage Wallpaper"! Can I just say that these background stamps ~stamp & emboss just PERFECTLY!!! I embossed this card using the "Iridescent Ice" powder from Stampin up. It looks WAY PRETTIER in real life! If you are also interested in ANY of "Market Street Stamp's" BEAUTIFUL Background stamps, they are on sale right now as we speak, so you definitely would want to take advantage of that deal also right  HERE & the sale ends tonight @ 11:59pm CST.
