Day 5 - Broken Crayons ...

Hi my friends and Happy Friday!

I'm back with a final card from the new stamp release from Riley and Company!

So many of these stamps have just had me rolling!

I hope they have brought some laughter and smiles into your lives, too ♥

 

My card today is using a stamp from the Inspirations line

called Broken Crayons ~ 

it literally took my breath away when I saw this stamp.

The message is so beautiful and one that resonates with many of us,

needing to send a note of cheer or 'chin up' :)

I love how the stamp is slightly distressed, like it's written in actual crayon

yet stamps so crisp and clear!

I paired it with a colorful swap of dsp that was already distressed,

added a 'scribble' of twine and buttons to complete the look.

This stamp will be one of my favorites ♥ 

 Thank you all for stopping by this week to see all the Riley cards :)

 Wishing you all a wonderful weekend and a reminder that

you can find this stamp, and all from this release and previously,

here at the shop and our DT Inspiration blog!

Big hugs, Bigger Blessings!

Day 3 - Happy Halloween from Riley and Company!

Hi friends! 

 It's Day 3 of the new stamp release from Riley and Company Stamps

and today I'm bringing you some Halloween happiness!

I'm not normally one to create Halloween cards at all,

but this cute, sassy kitty from Riley is just too cute not to add 

into some Halloween fun!

And he even fits into Autumn/Harvest cards as well :)

For the first card, I'm paired two new stamps: Burt on Broom

with one of the new Funny Bones "Too Sexy".

I restamped the bristles of the broom and popping it up with a 3d dot.

and gasp - no buttons on these cards! :)

Next up, I'm using one of the new Funny Bones "fun sized",

paired with Sophie from Wicked, both already available in the shop!

 

 Be sure to stop in and see the rest of the DT's inspirations

using the new hilarious and uplifting stamps ~

all available in the shop!

We'll still be going strong all week bringing you inspirations

3M's are Hopping By!

 

Good post-vacation morning! 

 

 We just returned home from our week long, water-filled, super fun extravaganza

and I'm trying to get back into the swing of things here at home ...

 more like the hop of things :)

Being that today is the 9th, the 3M's traditionally post our cards

on this day every month with a chosen image from

 the hostess with the mostess of the month ♥

  This month, that's Jeanette!

She sent both Barb and I this fabulous

Art Impressions Hip Hop Girlfriends image + sentiment to create a card

and this is my take.

I own many of these stamp sets and just think they are hilarious

and so 'true to life' -

In fact, I told Jeanette that I wanted to be the one with the pogo stick! :)

 

and a peek at the inside of my card:

Here we are in real life - aren't we purty!

LOL!

 

 

Big hugs, Bigger Blessings!
