Anything Goes at Craft Us Crazy!

Anything Goes - well, that's pretty easy!  The sponsor for the Anything Goes challenge at Craft us Crazy is Bugaboo Stamps. 

The prize is 7 digi images! 

This oh, so sweet strawberry girl is from Bugaboo Stamps and they have a lot of wonderful digi stamps to offer.   I made a strawberry basket using a template that was designed by Lauren Meador when she was designing for Papertrey Ink.  I believe it's still available there.  It's super easy to put together. 

And of course, I thought the basket needed a strawberry as big as the one in her wheelbarrow!   Be sure to check out all the projects at Craft us Crazy and link up one of your own "Anything Goes" projects!

New Challenge at Craft Us Crazy!

Hi, everybody!  It's time for a new challenge at Craft Us Crazy...Thinking of You and/or Animal.  Our sponsor for this challenge is Robyn's Fetish. 

From Robyn's Fetish:  Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps And More is proud to sponsor this challenge.  Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps And More, a division of I Did It Creations, was created and is owned by Robyn Weinrib. Robyn offers a wonderful variety of digital stamps and digital papers, designed to meet the needs of all digital paper crafting addicts for every occasion.  Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps And More is happy to offer the winner of this challenge 5 digital stamps or 4 digital stamps and 1 paper set of their choice.

The image I used for this card is A Little Bird Told Me from Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps.  Used my Copics (of course, I'm still such a novice), cut out and popped up the bird and the flowers to give some dimension.  The little round tag is a new set of stamps and dies from Papertrey Ink.  The scallop card was created with Nestabilities and the paper is some older paper from We R Memory Keepers.  Simply topped it off with my hand-dyed ribbon, buttons, and some Divine Twine.  I think this will work for both parts of the challenge - it's got an animal and just a note could certainly count as Thinking of You - don't you think? Head to Craft Us Crazy to check out all the inspiration and link up your own creation to be elgible for the awesome prizes! 

Ribbons and Roses Hat Silhouette

Stitchy Bear Stamps is one of the monthly sponsors at Craft Us Crazy.  I'm crazy for their Hat Silhouette Series - there are several fabulous digital stamps in this series (and of course, Stitchy Bear has LOTS of different digital goodies, too). 

Stitchy Bear Digital Stamps



"Hi my name is Stitchy and I am Co-Owner of Stitchy Bear Stamps...we started this store April 1st, No Fooling haha..I live in upstate New York with my husband and two TEENAGE adults haha, I do say that loosely as they think they run the show here, NOT...


I been creating stamps for a little less than a year now and I am totally addicted to the craft..I started about 4 years ago making digital scraps and I knew there was much more out there, so a friend of mine introduced me to digital stamps...and the rest they say is history...I look forward to seeing all the beautiful creations come through...good luck everyone..stitchy xoxox"

If you link up a creation at Craft Us Crazy (the theme is Nature until Thursday when a new theme will be introduced) you will be elgible to win a $10 gift certificate from Stitchy Bear Stamps. 

For my card, I used some K & Co paper that's been hanging around awhile (yay!! I used old stuff!), but is still oh, so pretty.  I found some wonderful old Lion Coffee ad cards at an antique store.  The fronts are fabulous vintage victorian and what you see here is the back (scanned and printed quite a bit smaller).  The doily is  a Papertrey Ink die.  The border punch is Martha Stewart.  The finishing touch is those sweet pearls around her neck!

 I believe that Jeri has posted some other wonderful inspiration, so check out Craft Us Crazy.  I would also like to thank Kelly for awarding me The Stylish blogger award.  I'll post a little more about it later.  Thanks for stopping by!

Cute Birds for Wee Memories

I finished this fun little card today. I'm sending it over to the Wee Memories blog for their challenge this week. The challenge was easy: just a card completed this week! I colored the birds and cupcake with my Copics and popped them up on a card I made with my Spellbinders Nestibilities.
The birds are a digistamp from Pink Cat Studio.

Also, some exciting news: this card was a spotlight card over at City Crafter Challenge Blog! Thank you so much to the girls over there! I am so beyond happy!
