CCC # 15.

Good Sunday mornin'!

I cannot believe it's already March!! Seems like the Holidays were just here!

I'm telling you though...it feels good that my stack of Christmas cards is getting higher! :) No more scrounging up time, energy, or effort come December to finish off those last-minute Holiday creations for me! And if you want to add on to your stash, pls play along!

For this week's Christmas Card Challenges (week 15), we have an inspiration photo for ya.






My card features the colors of red, white, khaki, and gold undertones. The papers are from Bo Bunny and Prima. The Caroling Josh stamp is from Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps.

Have an amazing day! Hope you can all play along! See the CCC blog for more deets!

XO,

Team Oliver vs. Team Josh.

Hello, hello, hello!

It's time for another Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps Challenge (#68). Today marks the first week of this challenge, and I'm part of the first group to showcase it.




Since Twilight's Breaking Dawn will be coming out this week in theaters, we thought we'd do our own version of Team Edward versus Team Jacob. That is, it'll be Team Oliver vs. Team Josh.

You can use your imagination to do whatever you wish provided that you use an Oliver or a Josh image.

Please see the SCRS blog for more details! Here's my take:



I had quite a ball doing this challenge as I am a BIG Twilight fan! I chose images that look as close to the characters of Edward and Jacob as possible -- Valentine Oliver and Street Corner Josh. Valentine Oliver is romantic so I thought he'd be a perfect Edward, although Edward would never wear that kind of hat, LOL! And Street Corner Josh is kinda cool, just like Jacob. I tried coloring them like the characters as well.

Lastly, I added these sentiments I got from Unity Stamps. They're perfect, don't ya think?

SCRSC # 63 - (We Be' Clubbin!)

Hi all! And welcome to my first Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps Challenge as a DT member! Today, we have a fun color combination for you - SCRS Challenge # 63.

The first thing that came to my mind was Halloween. But since I didn't have any SCRS stamps with that theme, I decided to go with my first ever stamp from Sparkle's store - Turntable Josh.



He is just groovin' away! I colored him with Copics and stamped him on Neenah Solar White CS. The orange PP is from DCWV's Autumn Harvest. The black with notes is from Graphic 45. The sentiment is a rub-on from Rhonna Farrer (by Autumn Leaves), and the record sticker is from Echo Park. The fun, reflective mesh with stars is from Gauche Alchemy.

For those of you who watched the last Jersey Shore episode where they had a clubbin' party at their place in Italy, this card totally reminds me of Pauly D. He's the DJ, and I heard he's pretty good! I was laughing during that part because there was this one time (not that! LOL!) in Arizona when my sis-in-law and friend had our own party at my SIL's house. We turned up the stereo and made our own flashing lights to simulate a club. So, so fun!!!

For more information on the challenge, please go to the SCRS blog. And don't forget October's featured stamp character:

Lazy Day.

Hello, hello everyone!

Hope you are all doing well this Saturday afternoon. We have no real plans today except for a brief appointment at 2 pm. And I'm so glad for it. Hoping for some family cuddling on the couch and maybe some crafting for me.

So today, I have a laid-back (*read: lazy*, LOL) card as well.



Like Sparkle once said, Ukelele Josh is reminiscent of Jason Mraz. He happens to be my favorite male artist, and who could forget that island-sounding song of his, "I'm Yours"?

I even switched the sentiment to this one by Studio G (found at the 99 cent bin at Michael's). Peace. Love. Happiness. :)

And just look at that ocean...isn't it the calmest body of water you've seen? Heee hee!

Here's another view of the card to show dimensions of that tree embellishment by Hulahlah.



The 'sand' is made by putting down 2-sided adhesive and Stampfetti. :)

Hope you're having a laid-back day as well!
