New Baby Challenge

Happy Tuesday Everyone! Today is my sister's birthday! I hope she has a great day. Today at Crafty Sentiments our challenge is New babies. I love making baby gifts/crafts because you can never get too cute! The image I used for my card is from the recently released baby collection from Crafty Sentiments. The paper is from Making Memories and  the little carriage card was from my vintage stash. I colored the image with prisma colors/markers. Thanks for stopping by!

More than 1 Fold Challenge

Happy November! I can't believe Thanksgiving is just around the corner. I'm so excited! This week our challenge at Crafty Sentiments is more than one fold. I used the new CS vintage die for the front of the card and Crafty Sentiments acrylic stamps. Thanks for stopping by!

If you  just stumbled upon this post make sure you go to the Suzette's Website to start and get the details of the giveaway. If you have been following the hop you should have just left Dora's Blog.

Since Annabel is surrounded by books in this stamp I just had to make a bookmark. I love the way it turned out. She was so much fun to color. I used Basic Grey paper and some chipboard letters. I colored the image with my prisma markers and pencils. Thanks for stopping by!

Crafty Sentiments Preview Day 2: Billy Back to School

Today we are showcasing Back to School Billy. I remember when I had to carry those heavy books for school, yuck. Fortunately Billy looks like he can handle the load. I used Basic Grey paper and some Tim Holtz cut ups and random stickers to complete the card. Don't forget to check the Crafty Sentiments Site for the rest of the DT creations!  Thanks for stopping by!

Crafty Sentiments Preview Day 1: Annabel Happy Days

Hello everyone today is the first preview day featuring Annabel Happy Days. Isn't she precious?  Make sure you go to the Crafty Sentiments Main Blog to check out all the other creations from the DT. I used the image on a 6x6 paper from Webster's Pages. I love that the paper already has journaling lines so I can just jot things down later. I thought Annable would look perfect on this paper.

No DP Crafty Sentiments Challenge

Happy Tuesday everyone! This week at Crafty Sentiments we are having a no designer paper challenge and a preview of new stamps all week. I hope you join us! On with the challenge: I decided to go paperless and did a mini Christmas scene display. The blocks are old stamps that I peeled off and sprayed with paint and glitter and the tree is a cone made out of a 12x12 sheet covered in leaves from my backyard. I thought the image of the boy and girl singing goes great with the word blocks JOY.  I think I will add more stamps to the scene to make it more festive. Thanks for stopping by!

Snowmen Challenge at Crafty Sentiments

Happy Tuesday everyone! We have a fun challenge this week at Crafty Sentiments, it's Snowmen! So start dusting off your Christmas stamps and join us! I used a new image called Let It Snow, now available at the shop. I used some October Afternoon paper and colored the image with my prisma markers and pencils. I photographed the card a different way using foil and tissue paper, it gives the card a more frosty feel, no? Thanks for stopping by!

Pearls, Pins and Flowers Challenge

Hello everyone, today I'm sharing a Christmas card using Crafty Sentiments new die. This was such a gorgeous image to color. I wish I had some kind of winter flower but all I had were primas. The image is part of the Christmas image release, that's why I used the Season's Greetings sentiment. As you can tell from the title the challenge is to use pearls, pins and flowers. Thanks for stopping by!

Crafty Sentiments Banner Challenge

Happy Tuesday! Today Crafty Sentiments has new items to show you! First off we have new stamps which are all baby images and they are so adorable.

I haven't been able to try mine out but I will soon. Thanks for stopping by!

No Sentiment Challenge

Happy Thursday everyone. Crafty Sentiments theme for this week is No Sentiments. Let your paper and images convey what you want the card to say. I wanted to do a kind of shabby chic wedding card so so I printed Prim Rose on recycled cardstock and made nature the background. I love the clear little baubles because they remind me of raindrops. I glittered her headpiece, dress and flower but could not get the shine on camera. Oh well. I hope you join us this week, it should be fun! Thanks for stopping by.

The store is having a 10% off selected stamps  till the end of August, hope you check it out!

We are going to sponsor our own challenges now so that means you will have a chance to win images from Crafty Sentiments like this one. I hope you join us!

New Challenge and Images

We have a couple of more Christmas stamps to share with you today at Crafty Sentiments. As they are winter related our theme is also Christmas. I used two stamps, the fireplace and primrose sitting down.  Looking at this card makes me long for winter. Texas weather is getting ridiculously hot. I didn't want to add too much decor to the card because I wanted the images to be the main focus. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you join us this week, I can't believe it is August already!

Crafty Sentiments Polka Dot Challenge

Happy Thursday! Today at Crafty Sentiments we are having a polka dot theme. I used a sketch from My Favorite Stamps and the stamp I used for the circle is by Crafty Sentiments. The butterfly is from some vintage printables I got online. Thanks for stopping by. :)

Crafty Sentiments Release & Happy Ever After Challenge

Happy Thursday Everyone! Crafty Sentiments is having a mini release and it's all about weddings. I decorated this $1 tin by using 3 of the new stamps, (the groom, bride and birds holding up ribbon). This was very simple and easy to make, plus it looks super cute! Thanks for stopping by and I hope you join us this week on our challenge. :) 

Happy Thursday everyone! Boy, this week went by fast for me. I've been doing some diy home decor and my backyard is filled with spray paint cans and trinkets. Today at Crafty Sentiments the challenge is about Stitching. Now personally I can't use a sewing machine to save my life, that is why I decided on faux stitching. This little darling stamp is one of the recent releases from Crafty Sentiments. You can check her and her friends out here. Thanks for stopping by!

All about Kids Crafty Sentiments

Happy Thursday everyone! I've been a very busy bee. My husband and I just moved to our new house and it has pretty much taken me 3 weeks to pack and unpack and I'm still missing some stuff. Thankfully I was able to make a card for this Thursday. The challenge for this week at Crafty Sentiments is to create a project with a child, if you are like me and don't have children yet you can make a project for a child. I made this card for my sister's kids. When I got married in December I moved away from them and I miss them all the time so that is why I chose the image to make this card. The paper is October Afternoon and I used a Martha Stewart lace punch. I hope you join us in this challenge. Thanks for stopping by!
