"Witching" you a great Halloween!

 

 Hi friends!

Did you know that there's only 60 more days until Halloween?!

Indeed!

Before we know it,

 it'll be time for costumes and parties and Trick 'o Treating :)

While I love all things harvest and fall,

my kids always enjoy picking out their costumes and going door to door, 

bringing home way too much candy!

Today's card is from the ever fabulous The Project Bin stamps

from the new "Haunt it" stamp set.

Super fun!

I absolutely adore this hilarious stamp sentiment 

and added it to a burst of color papers I just got in from Echo Park.

 

 I've stamped this sentiment in Momento Tuxedo Ink

but these stamps are just marvelous with colored inks and embossing as well.

For this card, I've rounded the corners of some papers, 

made a banner and added some simple enamel dots.

 

And what a better time to go see what's in the shop -

Hurry, the free shipping date is nearly over!

I'll see you soon with another card from The Project Bin ♥

Big hugs, Bigger Blessings!

Gettin' old ..........

Ain't for sissies!

LOL!

Well, at least that's what Bette Davis says :)

Today is the day that the 3 Musketeers post our cards with the same image.

By the time this post hits blogland,

we'll be almost at our road trip destination!

We are off on our last summer Hurrah before school starts ....

except ....

we will be arriving in a car!

I was the hostess this round and just thought this image would be a hoot!

I have had this gorgeous wooden Diamonds stamp for YEARS

and it has never seen ink!

I actually picked it up for .50c at a LSS garage sale

where the lady told me the company was no longer in business,

which is always sad when a stamp company closes down :(

 The stamp was crisp and clear and even has a small diamond 

embedded into the wood - I imagine their "signature"! :)

Based on how fun this was to stamp and color,

I wish I'd inked it up years ago!

                                     So here is my getting couple!

Be sure to see what Barb and Jeanette

 have created with the image I sent them, too!

Big hugs, bigger blessings!

I remembered your birthday ...

Hello, friends 

and happy Friday!

 

We have a jam packed, fun filled weekend ahead,

getting in some last minute fun before school starts again.

Can't believe the summer has flown by so fast 

and school will be here in a couple of weeks.

I'm.  Not.  Ready!!

Today's card is one that was so wonderful to work on,

using the "Born Yesterday" stamp set from

The Project Bin Stamps,

What a fun and oh so true sentiment! :)

I remembered your birthday,

without looking on Facebook! :)

And I share with you with certainty ....

the stamps from The Project Bin Stamps are unbelievable!

They stamp crisp and clean right out of the gate - 

making your stamping sentiments a super time with creativity!

They hold both bold black ink colors superbly

as well as bright colors to give your cards a pop!

Give them a try!

You can find this set and many more in the store ◄

Big hugs, Bigger Blessings!

New Stamp Release continues - Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps!

I scream, you scream,

we all scream for Ice Cream!

I had so much fun using the new stamp sets and dies from

 Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps.

One of the many cards I've made is this one,

a watercolored background with the stamps nestled on, wonky on purpose :)

I added sequins and twine to give the card a little more character :)

I sure could use an ice cream like this one right about now ♥

 

Here are the supplies that I used:

 Ice Cream stamp set and coordinating dies! 

 Be sure to see what the rest of the DT created with this super fun

and versatile stamp and die set :)

You can find more inspiration on the PPRS blog.

The new stamps and dies will be continuing on,

so keep watching for all the wonderful surprises ahead!

New Stamps! Riley and Company new stamp release! :)

 

Hi everyone!  

It's dog-gone hot out there, isn't it?! :)

The Riley and Company new stamp release continues on this week -

 from Monday until Friday, you'll be treated to all the new stamps and sentiments.

First up, introducing Tucker the pup!  He is absolutely darling.

  I fell instantly in love with Tucker!

I created a dog house with cardstock, colored and fussy cut Tucker and 3d foam popped him up onto the front of the card.  This was super fun to make!

 

 He's also joined by one of the new Riley and Company stamps friends,

Felix the cat!  Felix is as quite mischievous!  

The first stamp shows Felix with his balloon but there is also a Felix standing alone, which I've paired with another

new release funnybones stamp :)

 

 I'll be back in a bit with more fun posts showing you even more stamp, dies, and inspiration!

Thanks for stopping by!

Big hugs, Bigger Blessings!
