LOL! The reason I'm completing another Sav Challenge is because I am in need of sooooooooooo many masculine birthday cards! PLUS.... Trav and I didn't have enough time to record our anniversary video! Fingers crossed we get it done this next week! 

Here's a sneak peek of my video:

Hello, friends:} ***extra photos and card at the end:) Created by Poppie! 

Today we start another weekly challenge over at Paper Smooches SPARKS blog!! Another Anything Goes challenge starts today!   

That's right--you get to create ANYTHING you want (as long as you use Paper Smooches stamps)!! This is the BEST challenge ever!!!

I've created a super simple CAS card that can be included in the "Sav Challenges"- actually, all three of my challenges [CAS, masculine, using stash]!! LOVE it! I'm really doing awesome at my own challenges:)

I created this card after seeing THIS masculine card on Pinterest. I totally love when I get inspired and can recreate it (almost exactly) using my PS stamps! LOVE LOVE LOVE! I wanted a simple card for Poppie's birthday which is later this week. The papers are perfect and from my Project Life Becky Higgins Jade edition. I used my FAV ink {Imagine Crafts Memento Luxe Espresso Truffle} along with stamps from the PS Buckaroo, Birthday Sampler, and Incognito sets. EASY! LOVE! 

Happy birthday, Poppie!!!!!!!!!!!!

Poppie used the PS Bosom Buddy, Happy Birthday, Birthday Sampler, and Incognito stamp sets, as well as the PS Cardbooking and Kudos Words dies! He's such a good crafter:) 

 

Here's Poppie making the card...

Reverse Confetti: Quirky Cuties Hop (a bit late)

Hello, friends:}

Last week, the RC crew had a hop using some of the Quirky Cuties images.... and I'm FINALLY joining in the fun! LOL! I'm a bit late but you can click HERE to check out the entire hop:) 

I am joining in the fun with my challenge as well--- DING! I needed another masculine birthday card! Unfortunately, I didn't use any product from my stash- LOL! These papers are from the Becky Higgins Project Life Jade edition. PERFECT for this card! 

I used the NEW RC Rocky Raccoon image for this fun card. The sentiment is a mix match from the NEW RC Fresh 'n Fruity and You Make Me Smile sets. I also added some triangles at the bottom (to highlight our friend's birthday) using the Paper Crane set. LOVE LOVE LOVE how this turned out! 

That's it for me today! Be sure to stop by the Reverse Confetti blog for more inspiration and details!

Paper Smooches SPARKS July Designer Drafts challenge

Hello, friends:}

Today we start another weekly challenge over at Paper Smooches SPARKS blog!! This week we are sharing a DESIGNER DRAFT challenge. 

This week we are inspired by the following sketch:

**Sentiments can be placed anywhere on the sketch.

Ok---so I think I'm on a roll!!!!!!!!! I'm following sketches like NEVER before! LOL! I think I followed this sketch 88%! That's WAY more than EVER before! The only changes I made were: taking out the scallops, making the center piece an oval, and making the top back piece smaller.

I made this card for my nephew's upcoming birthday! I wanted something simple and super fun for him--- he really likes Transformers and things like that.... but I didn't see any of these images in my PS stash! LOL! 

I used the Becky Higgins Project Life Honey edition for the papers. I used the PS Woofers & Tweeters and Woofers dies to create that super cute puppy! LOVE LOVE LOVE him! I die cut the Birthday Words sentiment and then masked the rest of the sentiment from the Get Outta Town set. LOOOOOVE the simplicity and colors! ***This also fits my Sav Challenges-- masculine birthday cards! LOVE that I'm doing so well with these challenges:) 

That's it for me today--but be sure to stop by the other Paper Smooches SPARKS DT members' blogs, get inspired, and leave them some love.

Paper Smooches SPARKS: July Anything Goes (wk3) challenge

Hello, friends:}

Today we start another weekly challenge over at Paper Smooches SPARKS blog!! Another Anything Goes challenge starts today!   

That's right--you get to create ANYTHING you want (as long as you use Paper Smooches stamps)!! This is the BEST challenge ever!!! 

I made a super super EASY card today-- it looks like there are lots of details, but it was SO simple!

I used some OLD My Mind's Eye papers (DING! I get points for using up my stash and playing along with Sav's Challenges!!!) along with my PS Bebobbin and Sugar Rush stamp sets. My favorite parts are the mustache wash tape and splatters (made with Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko irRESISTible texture spray). LOVE LOVE LOVE how this turned out! OH! DING DING! I get MORE points because this also follows my challenges of making more masculine bday cards! LOVE it:)
