Alota Rubber~Calendars

Happy Anniversary! No not you silly!

Happy Anniversary to my amazing husband. Not today or anything its next month but since a calendar is the current challenge over at Alota Rubber stamps I thought this was the perfect time to make him a little card for our special day.

Be warned: Girlie pink lovelies coming right up!

 

 

Yes he loves the color pink. HAHAHA totally kidding and he would probably be so NOT smiling if he saw this post but...he doesn't read my blog! BWAHAHAHA. His loss. Okay so today I decided to get all sentimental and make him a really pretty card. Nothing masculine going on over here! ;) But I did try to stay away from flowers and frill. A Little!

 

And "I think", I emphasise "I THINK" it is our 9th anniversary or something like that! And it's for the month of January see the calendar in the back but I left the numbers and the month blank because I don't remember our anniversary date. HAHA I know horrible! Yeah that's what I did (left it blank) not because my Cameo blade decided it didn't want to cut shortly after I was bragging about the fact that I use it virtually everyday and I haven't had to change the blade in almost a year! Remind me never to talk that girl up again. ;)

Here's a list of What was used:

Cameo- Calendar cut file silhouette store, font brush script ltc

Ink- Memento Tuxedo

Stamps- Pretty Oval Frames

Tools- Big shot, scalloped ovals, ovals (spellbinders), Flag dies (Jaded Blossom)

Paper- Paper Trey Ink, Echo Park Yours Truly

Adhesive- Dimensionals and Zig two way glue

 

Thank you all so much for stopping by! I hope you are having a great week!!!

Ink- Memento Tuxedo Black

Alota Rubberstamps Challenge #90- Halloween

I LOVE spiders and bugs and webs and I'M TOTALLY LYING!!!! I really LOVE Halloween! It's my favorite holiday. The colors, the images, the sounds of fall and the smells. I just love it. But I only love spiders and bugs and webs that look adorable on projects not the kind that actually live in my house. I know you know what I mean. ;) 

 

The design team has created some amazing inspiration here. Now to show you my project...

 

I was trying a new lens mind you so that's why the picture isn't the best. Sorry. :(

 

See that cutie pie little spider up on top climbing on the web? Isn't it just so sweet its called the Spider / Bucket (SET).

 For the inside I used the Happy Halloween sentiment as well as this adorable Corner Spider Web. LOVE this spider web!

And this cutie pie is the Standing Spider. I kinda love his/her stomach! ECK!!!

 

For this challenge...

All you have to do is create a card/project and upload it to your blog and/or to a online gallery using the keyword Alota90. You don´t need to use stamps from Alota Rubberstamps but we love to see them if you have any! Don't forget to come back here and link it on Inlinkz so that everyone else can see it too.

Tree-mendous

Hey everyone! It's time for another fun challenge over at Alota Rubber Stamps.

There are some amazing projects over at the blog for inspiration but let me put them down at the bottom too so you can take a peek.

Here is my project...

My favorite thing about this cutie pie stamp is the outfit. Isn't it adorable? I used a zig two way glue stick to add dots all over the image and then doused it with glitter. I love the way it looks in person but you cant see it too well over picture. :( Bah. Okay hope you are all having a great day and be sure to check out what my dt sisters created for your viewing pleasure.

Happy Birthday Sheriff

Hooowwwdddyyyy!!!!

How are you today? Are you ready for the kiddos to go back to school or have they already? We have our meet the teachers this week woot woot!!! Super excited to meet our teachers!

I wanted to jump online and share a fun project I made for a birthday party friend a few days ago. I have been so busy with the kiddos I haven't really crafted much and my craft room is really missing me; or is that the other way around. ;) Either way I hope to get back to crafting full-time next week!!!

Have you seen the adorableness that is Alota Rubber Stamps? I LOVE this little sheriff.

With the boots and the vest I was just playing around with pattern paper. The coloring was all done with copics. All of the paper is from K&Company Itsy Bitsy Designer Paper boys. :)

Thank you all so much for coming by and leaving me beautiful comments. I hope you are having a beautiful day!!!

Paella Challenge #88

Hey everyone! Oh my goodness I am so excited that I was asked to be a part of the Alota Rubber Stamps Design team!!!ECKKKK. This is my very first post as an official design team member and I am so honored and excited. This time around we have a really fun challenge using a beautiful picture that you can find here. Please come on over and play along with us!!!

I decided to go with the colors on this one because they were so beautiful. They also made me hungry; but that's a whole other story lol. ;)

Here is what I made...

Isn't this image so beautiful? I had an idea in my head to add layers and maybe a sentiment at the top but then...I finished coloring and I couldn't touch it; I thought it was just such a beautiful image. It's called Roses, which is totally fitting dontcha think?!?!?

The whole thing is colored using copic markers and then I used glossy accents to accentuate the flowers and the love (red) sign.

Thank you all so much for stopping by! Please come on over and play with us this month.
