Riley and Co - new release .. FLAWSOME! ♥

Hi friends!

Remember getting the Sunday paper for

the wonderful colorful layout with all the cartoons?!

We used to race for the paper just to read all the Sunday funnies :)

Today, I'll bring you the last of my Riley new stamp release cards

and we can have some laughs on Saturday *grin*

And it's always fun to laugh!

My mom said that she always knew my brother and I

 were 'up to no good'.

We were thick as thieves and very close,

 always laughing and getting into mischief, 

never stopping long enough to do anything that required sitting still.

So, if there was silence .........

it usually meant we were up to no good - LOL!

We liked adventure ..and laughing!

We live countries apart now, but thankfully,

and one thing we are still doing - laughing!

First up, I've used Chocoholic Riley - oh, how I love him! 

If I were a moose, yes, this is who'd I be!

Probably with a Starbucks in the other hand :)

For the sentiment, I used the 6 million dollars stamp.

Next up, 

 You.  Are.  Flawsome!

Yes, you are!

That's Awesome AND Flawless!

I've paired music Riley with the Flawsome stamp just released.

I hope today brings you smiles -

and that you can pass those on!

For more card inspiration, shopping for these stamps and more,

please check out the new releases and the shop!

And head over to the Design Team blog for some amazing

and eye catching card samples!

Big hugs, bigger blessings!

 I've been away from the blog but busy, busy, busy

 working on A LOT of cards behind the scenes :)

I can finally show you them in trickling blog posts in the next few days ~

woot, woot!

First up, I had some fun watercoloring this card using the Pineapple stamp,

added to this sunburst of blues and greens.

Such a sweet sentiment :)

I added a bit of twine behind the image and some green sequins to for a little pop.

Have a fun-ny Friday!

Happy Friday!

I hope you are gearing up for a wonderful holiday weekend :)

I had a little time to get inky this week,

catching up on both DT cards and cards just for pun - I mean, FUN!

Like this one!

I was channeling the upcoming 4th of July and reaching for more

red, white and blues ......

a wonderful color combination that speaks to my heart

and for who I am as a child growing up in a military family! ♥

For my card today, I've used Bouncy Ball Riley - LOVE HIM!!! 

He's definitely one of my top faves of all my Riley stamps!

I've paired with the hilarious FunnyBones stamp line stamp

"Once in awhile" sentiment, added a little strip of dsp 

and a trio of sequins ♥

I'll enter this into:  PPA307 - Color Challenge

Riley and Company: 3-1-3 Recipe Challenge!

Wow ~

 only a few more days and it will be Thanksgiving ♥

Our kids are already salivating and waiting on the scrumptious dinner,
telling me daily, almost hourly,

that they can't wait for the big Thanksgiving meal.

As a mom, that makes my heart happy and I know we are so blessed ~

definitely rich in love and faith above all things.

My heart aches for those that won't have a table to sit at,
or missing loved ones that are seated at the table of Our Father.
Indeed we have much to be grateful for.

 Today's card is for the new Riley and Company challenge:

a Recipe challenge with 3-1-3 ....
3 designer papers, 1 ribbon and 3 of one kind of embellishment.
That's my kind of challenge!
I love layers, using designer paper and embellishments
and naturally chose .......... buttons! ♥

 

 

For my card here, I used the Funnybones sentiment
"Coffee Keeps me Busy"
paired with paper I had in a leftover mat stack.
I didn't want to use tons of paper on my card so I used the "3" papers
as smaller squares (and continued it to the inside as well)
The "1" ribbon is a jute type ribbon from A/C and I swirled it under the image
where I added "3" buttons ...
completing the 3-1-3 recipe :)

If you'd like to play along using a Riley and Company image,
please link up your cards here to the challenge blog.
If you use a gallery, please use the keyword Riley2414.

Thanks for stopping by
and have a blessed, wonderful Thanksgiving!

Big hugs, Bigger Blessings!

Riley "Sneak Peeks!* ~ Day 3!

Hi there!

 

Did you know there is only 37 more days until Halloween? 

 I know, right!

I can't believe how fast the year is zipping by.

I'm not a fan of Halloween but our kids get a kick out of carving the pumpkins,  dressing up in costumes and visiting our neighbors ~ enjoying the age old adage of ringing the bell and shouting Trick or Treat ♥

 

This brand new Funnybones stamp "Spider Web" had me rolling

when I stamped it out and read it - LOL!

Oh so true!

This has happened to me more times than I'd care to admit

and I'm sure anyone watching while I was 'brushing it off'

was quite entertained :)

For my card today,

I stamped out Spidermoose as a compliment to the funnybones sentiment.

I originally colored him 3 different colors/ways,

however, in the end I decided I liked it left uncolored for a nice contrast.

Honestly, the paper alone gives me the willies!

Those big 'ol spiders popping around on the card - eeeeewww!

Good thing we're all laughing ...

especially at the fact that we aren't tangled up in some web

doing the Spider Dance :)
