I scream, you scream ....

... we all scream for ICE CREAM!

Ohhhhh donuts are my weakness but ice cream

 is a very close second!

Hi everyone!

I have a cheeky card to share

 that I created for a special birthday friend :)

I used the "Ice Cream Stand" stamp and die set from 2022 exclusive

 collaboration from Mama Elephant and Ellen Hutson, 

released as part of a Summer of Stamping event!

      For this card, I kept it pretty simple 

since the images were super bright and colorful.  

I purposely wanted a lot of 'white space' to highlight their FUN!

Thanks for stopping by and STAY COOL!!

Shark Week! Underwater friends :)

Happy Shark Week 2026!

This is our favorite time of year for shark watch! 

 My son inspired our love of shark week YEARS ago

 and we are still going strong :)

I created a card for the first Lawn Fawn IG card club

hosted by my sweet friend, Melissa.

Of alllllll my lawn fawn stamps, dies + supplies,

I knew I wanted to use Duh-Nuh and You Are Sublime 

to create a fun scene.

        I started with ink blending in 3 blue colors for an ocean scene

and made a ocean shelf/sandbar by popping up the bottom.

And the sharks and friends were colored with my Olomarkers.

I'll link this to the current challenge Lawn Fawnatics Let's Go Wild 

under the sea wild critters! :)

3M: Spring Rain!

Hi friends!

                                

                     Today I'm sharing my card for the 3M.

The 3 Musketeers is a card group of Jeanette, Barb and I who

stamp a mystery image, send it to each other 

(Angel Policies apply, so please check those!)

and then we make a card based on that ONE image.

This month, Jeanette sent us this darling image from 

Spellbinders House Mouse Spring Rain.

Thank you, Jeanette!

My card is super simple - I ran out of time with a super busy summer

and missed the due date :(

We are going 900 MPH here and well, done is better than NOT DONE!

And I tried to be fancy with the rain by using a color blender to smoosh 

the ink like water ~ not quite the success I was looking for, LOL!

                      We normally post on the 9th of each month

so check back in August to see what's cookin!

not. literally.

 just like ... a saying, ya know ... okay, BYE! :)

It's Happy Meow-r Somewhere! IPC 254

 Hi friends!

There's a new Inky Paws Challenge #254 

with a fun color palette and inspiration photo!

You have all month long to create a card/project

and link it up to the IPC here!

For my card today, I'm sharing Newtons Happy Meow-r

with a CAS card!

This came together so quickly by using stamps, dies

and fun to use designer paper called Summertime.

To create the backdrop, I used the Heart Frames die set

and the sentiment is die cut with Basic Frames. 

Here is where you can enter your card/project.

 We look forward to seeing what you create!

Thanks for stopping by!
