Conquer Your Day Like A True Viking

I've had the Vikings Collection from Scrappy Boy Stamps for awhile now but haven't had a chance to create with it so I had to change that since it's such a great collection!!

I really like the background stamps, Viking Runes Background. I love that Scrappy Boy Stamps is starting to have some background stamps now.

I paired my stamped background with some of the Vikings paper for a fun look. I really like how it turned out!




Have a great day! Go do something for yourself and go get crafty!

Hot Dog Eating Contest!

I have a super fun card today using lots of goodies from Jaded Blossom! Summertime brings all the fun things including a Hot Dot Eating Contest! My hubby entered a hot dog eating contest one year but didn't like it because you couldn't have ketchup or mustard. I don't think our gnome friends will have that problem since there is a bottle of mustard, hehe!!

You Seem A Lot Cooler

I recently got the fun Snarky Dad stamp set from Unity Stamps and wanted to use it to make hubby a card from the kids. He loves to tell Dad jokes so I thought this was perfect!

It would have been even better if I had sent it to the right group chat for the kids to see but instead I sent it to the one he's on so he got an early preview. Sigh.

Summer Vibes with Summer Swissies

I'm up on the C.C. Designs blog today sharing this cutie from the Summer Swissies stamp set!

I knew I had this fun watermelon paper in my stash from Not 2 Shabby and knew it would work perfectly with the Swissie with the watermelon. I am not a huge fan of summer but I do like creating summer cards and this was no exception!

June Color Cube Collab with Fresh & Renewed with Teresa | Noodle

I'm excited to be doing a little collab today with my friend, Teresa of the Fresh and Renewed with Teresa channel! We are both using color cube cards today! We are both using Card 360 which we randomly chose.  You can watch my video sharing this card and telling all the details HERE!

I knew when I saw the Color Cube card that I had won this paper from Unity Stamps, Autumn Dream, and it was such a perfect match! I started to use a sketch but then didn't like it so then I fiddled around until I got it where I wanted it. I used one of the Rescue Tales from Unity, Noodle. So precious!!

Let's Celebrate By Leaving Me Alone

I needed a birthday card for my son's girlfriend and thought the Pissy Party stamp set from Unity Stamps would be perfect! I can't wait to give this to her!!

Floral Birthday Cards

I had a request for a purple floral birthday card so I created a few for her to choose from. I used lots of Newton Nook's products, some retired. Purple is the hardest color for me to work/color with so I did add a few more colors to sort of make it easier on myself.
