Grillin' & Chillin'

So who did just that this long weekend? We grilled Saturday and Sunday then got take out yesterday!! My kind of cookin'!!! And Scooter here is having a wonderful time grilling up some hot dogs - why do they taste soooooo much better done on the grill?! Anyway, this card I used the Fresh Brewed Designs digital Scooter's BBQ. There is a whole set of adorable elephant digis that you really should take a look at...you can find them HERE.

Something else you really should do is come back tomorrow for our fun weekly challenge. It's one of my all time favorite of challenges, but I may have just said too much!! Hehe, actually, all of the challenges for the month are listed in the tab across the top of the page labeled "Challenges and Hop for May." See you tomorrow!

....or it is OFF WITH YOUR HEADS!

The kids watched Alice in Wonderland yesterday. 
I heard bits and pieces of it while I cooked dinner and cleaned house. I am not much of one to really love the movie stylings  of that of Tim Burton... however I find myself sucked into that movie when it comes on.  I still laugh when the Queen thinks that Alice's name is Um and when the White Queen gags when she is getting the dragons blood. I think that Anne Hathaway is such a sweetie.

Anywho - Before the movie even came on yesterday I was inspired to create a 'Queen' themed project for you! *well, for me, it is on my coffee / buffet table in my kitchen * wink*

Welcome to the shop our newest digi, 
 Latte Queen
in the new Coffee Girls section of the shop
*you may remember her being a Pinning Queen, well, she is still, 
but some days she prefers her lattes... like today. 


You can find her as a latte loving queen or a pinning queen in the shop HERE
you can also find her friend MY LATTE (another revamped pinning image) HERE



I created this project using Papertrey Inc Cardstock, Making Memories 5th Ave Paper Pack,
My Paper Studio paper flower, rhinestone button, ribbon sold by the yard,
a computer generated sentiment, copic spica glitter pens and copic markers. 


Yes, it is good to be Queen!
*smile*

Hope you all have a lovely and blessed day
Thank you for stopping by today. 

HUGS!

Hey Baby!

Good Morning!
Things have been super busy this weekend here at my house. 
My husband has been working a lot due to the bike rallies in town and the kids and I have been chilling. 
Today we are making pulled pork BBQ, slaw, baked beans, fresh corn and homemade chocolate chip cookies. YUM!!!

I had planned to have a card to share with you today, but did not get it completed yet. You CAN see the image I colored though *grin* along with my card from this weeks FRAME IT challenge

Big Sister Digital Stamp

Big Brother Digital Stamp


These new images are called Big Brother, Big Brother (no glasses)  and Big Sister.
Each image comes with the full length image and the half image. 


They can be found in the Digital Stamps - Kids - Babies - Boys or Girls section of the shop. We also have several images in our NEW HOT OUT OF THE PRESS digis section. Stop by and check them all out!!!

I hope you all have a happy and safe weekend!

Beautiful Bride

So how did you like our new rubber release? Two beautiful stamps, Baby Bump and Beautiful Bride, were featured. I decided to make a wedding card today using Beautiful Bride. My niece is getting married this fall so this stamp will definitely be put to use again...unless pink will be her color and I can use this card...if I could be so lucky!!! I also want to make one using ivory...after all, that was the color of my wedding dress. I'm off to find my wedding album now and get all nostalgic!

SuMmErTiMe!!!


It is just around the corner!
Sand, sun, waves crashing on the shore, the smell of sunscreen in the air... 
sigh
Summertime. 
Who doesn't love summer!?!
Our Beach Bums rubber stamp is so sassy and fun. 
I wish I were able to wear a itty bitty bikini again... but I can't so I will live vicariously though this stamped image and be happy :D. I found this PERFECT paper at an online shop that was closing down and was so excited to get to use it. It is gorgeous IRL. Some of the words are coated in clear glitter sparkles. 

Anyway - I thought that you could use a little escape today and dream of lazy beach days. 

Don't forget our rubber release hop for May starts TOMORROW! 
we will be hopping all weekend - so you have plenty of time to party with us!!!

BIG HUGS!

Alice in a Bottle

What a fun and fabulous new digital release yesterday!! Now I have a confession to make, as a child, I never liked Alice in Wonderland...and I'm still not a big fan. I thought the characters were creepy and quite a bit scary. But these Alice images that Heather has created are wonderful, fun and anything but scary. Here is my card using the newly released Alice in a Bottle. To see the other images, look HERE. And to read more about my card, go to my blog, The Stamper's Touch.   

I wanted to remind you about our Blog Hop starting on Saturday, May 19th. A new release of some rubbah is happenin' and you won't want to miss it. Shhhhhh, don't tell Heather, but I can be bribed with chocolate if you want to know what is being released!!!!! ;)
