Newest Arrival

Aww!  A baby dinosaur.  Isn't he sweet.  He is a new set from Doodle Pantry just July.  He is part of a set called Tiny Triceratops.  I know July is almost over and I haven't gotten to use him until now.  The sentiment is from an older set called Birdie Babies.

"Never" give up!

Yeah, I finally squeezed in some creative time!  I needed it.  The card I choose to make today is using the free sentiment from Word Art Wednesday.  I have been wanting to play with them for a long time and haven't found the time until today so I am excited!  I really love this sentiment and need to be reminded of it often. =)

New Digital Stamp Sets from Clear Dollar Stamps

Yeah!!  Gotta love new stamp sets!!  This month at Clear Dollar Stamps we have a new designer.  That just adds to the fun!!  The first card I made today is with one of her new sets.  She is Austin Owens and so much fun!  The first set of hers I used is called "Party Invites".  There is a lot you can do with this new set.

 The second set I choose to use for the release is called "Private Investigator".  Lori had this set a while ago in acrylic and I never did have this set so I was overjoyed when I saw she brought it out in digital form!  What a fun set this is.  I used a small lunch pail and added the crime scene kit words to the front.  Then I used some old prescription jars for the evidence containers.  I also used just some regular baggies for evidence containers.  You just never know what kind of evidence you are going to collect at a crime scene. =)

 Below is a picture of the fingerprint booklet I made.  What a fun project you could made with the kids or just make for the kids and they will have hours of fun.  I just hope you are not the one they are going to have to investigate. =)

This set has several different stamps that go with it.  So many things you could make to go in this set!  Everything I used to make this set was found around my house.  No purchasing needed - love that!  I even printed all the labels on regular printer paper.  No need to use your expensive cardstock.  Thanks so much for stopping by to see all the set being released in July hop on over to the Clearly iStamp blog and have fun!!

Hot Air Balloon Birdie

Have you seen this adorable new digital stamp set yet from Doodle Pantry.  If you follow Laurie and her animals you will recognize the cute birdie.  Her animals are always into something.  This set is new this month and I couldn't wait to get coloring him.  Although I decided to do some paper piecing.  I really love doing that and don't much anymore so this was a fun card to make.  The set is called "Hot Air Balloon Birdie".  You can also check out the other new sets for this month at the Doodle Pantry Store.

That is right up my alley because I love bright colors!  Red and yellow totally remind me of summer so that is what I had to use.  The stamp set I choose to use is new last month and called "Tweet Houses".  Also perfect for a summer card.  I loved the sentiment.  If you haven't been on the hop just jump on over to the Clearly iStamp blog and have fun!  Make sure you leave comments for your chance to win a prize!

Send A Smile 4 Kids - Christmas

If you follow my blog you will see how confused these days.  Must be the heat. =)  This is the challenge that Bugaboo is hosting a card drive for Christmas cards for Send A Smile 4 Kids.  I know I thought it was last week.  Funny because this mess up was a week early - not late.  Oh well, so we would love to see your kid friendly Christmas cards for the Send A Smile 4 Kids challenge.  I used one of the Bugaboo images.  The stick man Santa.  So easy and quick to color up.

The layout for this card came from Sweet Sketch Challenge.  Over at Dutch Dare they are also looking for a card for a child.  Thanks so much for stopping over.  I hope you will come on over and play with us at Send A Smile 4 Kids.

Sketches by Carly

You know me and Carly's sketches - I love them!  So it's a woo-hoo day.  Over at Sketches by Carly she made us a new sketch for a fun challenge.  Our sponsor this challenge is Bugaboo Stamps.  The image I used is from Bugaboo Stamps.  There are two charms hanging on each side of my card.  They are the half hearts that say "Best" and "Friends".  Do you remember these charms?  When I saw them I knew I had to have them!  This card is getting sent to my best friend from High School.  She will get a charge out of this too!
