Monday Challenge-#69 Wild About You

Hi everyone! Hopefully you all had a nice relaxing weekend.  Today, the Monday challenge at My Craft Spot blog is *Wild About you*. Time to use those cute animals. 
I used the new Create A Critter 2 cartridge for the lion and the hat.
The sentiment *Hip Hip Hooray* is from the stamp set *Birthday Wishes*
by My Craft Spot. I also used the *Tiny Doilies* metal dies. I LOVE
using the metal dies. I tied a big scarlet red crinkle ribbon bow. I used
my iron to *flatten* out the ribbon. I had the temp set at low on the iron
and it worked great.
The *Happy Birthday* is actually part of a longer sentiment that I only
partially inked. The sentiment is from the *Birthday Wishes* set.
I hope you will all join us for this fun challenge. Be sure to link up your card/project for a chance to win a great prize over at the My Craft Spot blog.

Because I Love You

Hi everyone. I hope your week is going great. Sammy is SO excited about preschool this year. Every night before we go to bed she makes me pinky promise that she will be going to school the next day. I think when her older sisters started school she thought she would be starting school. Trust me, it's been a long 2 weeks for her. :)

Today I have a set of cards I made for my girls for their lunches. Since Maddie is away at college, and I'll be sending her packages, these will make perfect little *thinking of you* notes. The cards measure 4x4.
So cute! These cards went together really fast. The *Hugs* sentiment
is from the *Sweet sentiments 1* set by My Craft Spot. The shaped layer
came form the Elegant Edges cartridge. The frog came from the
Paisley cartridge.
*Because I Love You* if from the *Tiny Tags* stamp set. I added
a strip of washi tape for a little color along the bottom.
I bent the little hands forward--he really looks like he needs a hug. :)
I did add google eyes, which may or may not be an issue for
mailing. If the eyes are too big it might be hard for the envelope
to go through the postal stamping machine. 
I have a couple of birthday parties I want to share. I'll be working on those posts tonight. :) Have a great weekend!

New Stamp Release Day 4-Ghostly Greetings

Welcome back to day 4 of the sneak peek for My Craft Spot newest stamp release. Today we are sharing the new stamp set *Ghostly Greetings*. I made a set of treat bags for my girls.
I used a large bag from the Bitty bag set. I made the tags from the
Bump In The Night cartridge, all of the monsters were cut at 3.5".
The actual tag was cut from the Elegant Edges cartridge at 4.60".
The *Have a Monsterously Fun Halloween* sentiment is from the
new *Ghostly Greetings* stamp set.
I tied the tag on with some of the Midnight Black crinkle ribbon.
I added glossy accents to the eyes and teeth. I stitched with a
black micron pen.
 
I had a lot of fun making these monsters. The sentiment makes
these treat bags adorable! Too cute and fun.

Day #1 of the My Craft Spot stamp release party is finally here! WOOHOO! Today the design team is sharing sneak peeks of the new Stampin' Around Fall stamp set and Tiny Doilies metal dies set. Both sets are AWESOME!
I made another *Samantha* card. :) I used the new *Tiny Doilies*
metal dies set. Lots of great layering pieces with this set. I stamped
the sentiment using the new *Stampin' Around Fall* set. So many
great sentiments and fun images. The girl is cut from the Playtime
cartridge at 3.25". I
 cut the scalloped red square from the
Elegant Edges cartridge at 4x4, using my Gypsy. The cute little
face is from the Wide Eyed Kid stamp set by Peachy Keen.
A closer look at a couple of the doily layers.
The papers are mainly from the Schoolhouse
8x8 paper pad by October Afternoon. 
I popped layers up for extra dimension.
I hope you enjoyed the first peek of the new Stampin' Around Fall and Tiny Doilies metal dies set. I'm so excited for the Blog Hop and the official release of all of the new sets. It's all so amazing! Be sure to check out ALL of the design team members blogs for everyone's adorable creations. :)
