Having a Smashing Good Time...

Hello! Happy Tuesday...Almost Wednesday! Woot Woot!!! I have been making an effort to scrap more and collect less. I'm doing fairly well on creating more, but I can't say the same about purchasing more scrap! Anyway...let's focus on the positive! LOL! So I've found several great places to spark my creativity, and here's the product of being inspired by a few challenges!

I created a page in my 2013 SMASH book about my love of photography! Yeah, you would probably  not know by looking at the quality of this photo, but I really do love photography! LOL!

The cute girl digi image is from Alica's Little Shop! Love this girl, and let me just tell ya' you will be seeing her a few more times within in the next few days! She's just so cute! The super cute polaroid digi is a from U Printables!!! The Banner and Photo printables are from Studio Calico (Umm...I think it's from one of the classes...I really need to be better about documenting my class printables- ugh)!And the doilies, button and other things are from my stash!!!

Entering in the Following Challenges:

CAS Valentine Card....

So for some reason I refuse to go to bed at a decent hour since Christmas break (when I was FREE and didn't have to wake up for work)...I know I need to get an adequate amount of sleep for so many reasons, but late night is the only alone, quiet time that I get- so I try to make it last! Well, before I shut my peepers tonight or this morning rather, I thought I'd play along with a few challenges....so I created this Valentines Day card:

Supplies: Patterned Paper: American Crafts; Digi Stamp: Fresh Squeezed Stamps (Hearts), banner (I think it was a freebie from Teresa Collins' blog a long time ago); Stamp: Hero Arts; Glitter Tape: Recollections; Label: Smash; Tag: Avery; Ink: Memento; Mist: Heidi Swapp

Based on this sketch from: Freshly Made Sketches
And entered for challenges at the following places:
Casology- Week 29 Challenge - Game- Used the crossword puzzle background
Fresh Squeezed Stamps: Valentine's Day

Well, thanks so much for stopping by! Guess, I'll go night-night now since I have to be up in a few hours! Be sure to stop by and visit me on Friday for something pretty cool.... : )

Docerela Creations and Challenge Reminder...

Go HERE to join the current Challenge: Heart & Button

Happy Saturday, Ladies and Gents!!! Hope that you all are having a fab weekend! Well, Valentine's  Day is right around the corner, so I decided to use the gorgeous new Docerela set to create a clean and simple card based on a sketch from Freshly Made Sketches. I just love the new "Be Mine" set!  I love my Prima inks but these stamp images seem to be even more amazing (if that's possible) when used with embossing powders- I'm totally loving gold embossing powder right now! The images are so clean and crisp!

Here's my simple little card (my apologies for the horrible lighting):

Supplies: Stamp: Docerela Creations- Be Mine; Card base, cabochon, and embossing powder: Recollections; Embellishments; Making Memories


.....and don't forget to check out the NEW release stamps! They are pretty awesome!

 BE MINE - $14.99 + S/H


Devoted - $5.99 + S/H


There is still plenty of time for you to enter our current challenge, which is to use a heart and button on a project! During this time of year that should be a pretty easy challenge to meet...so be sure to link up your projects HERE for a chance to win an awesome set of Docerela stamps!!!

Can't wait to see your projects! Have a beautiful weekend, Lovelies!
