"School's Out!!!" 4 CCC#96

Happy Thursday everyone! Are you ready for another challenge from 4 Crafty Chicks? This week it is my turn to be hostess and my challenge is as follows:

Challenge #96 - SCHOOL'S OUT!!

Now, this can be whatever you feel represents school being done....a holiday, beach time, a teacher gift/card, awesome marks, moving on to college/university - you name it! The possibilities are endless! Show us whatever comes to mind when you hear "SCHOOL'S OUT!" :o)

I really didn't know what type of card I was going to do for this week's theme, so I just went rummaging through my whole stash and I came across my new set I got from MFT called Let's Chat and I thought of all the kids who are gonna be doing this exact same thing once school is out as they might not see their friends on a daily basis!! LOL...It was PERFECT! I paper pieced the polka dot background and her shirt :)


Stamps: Let's Chat - My Favorite Things
Paper: Basic Black, Whisper White, For The Record DP
Ink: Momento Tuxedo Black
Accessories: Copic Markers, Spellbinders, flower die from MFT, texting die from MFT, pearls, twine, dimensionals


I hope you get a chance to pop on over to the 4 Crafty Chicks Challenge blog HERE and participate in this week's challenge - Miss Melissa is offering up a super dooper prize this week and be sure to check out the rest of the Chicks' creations while you are there - they ROCK! Ciao!

Totally Stampalicious is Seeing "RED"

Happy Totally Stampalicious Monday!

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! We are gearing up here for the Ponoka Stampede and my daughter's competitive swim club works a food booth all week on the infield for all the contestants and their families/friends. This is our major fundraiser of the year, so it's a busy one! I am looking forward to it, as it *is* a lot of fun, however, I am Treasurer this year for the club, and that means I am going to have to almost live at the food booth this year, so that part isn't so attractive to me! LOL...Hopefully it goes by fast and then I can relax for the rest of the summer!


Our challenge this week over at Totally Stampalicious is "RED & WHITE" In celebration of Canada Day, we want to see projects using red and white colors....I decided to go with a CAS card this week using our newly released Sean Dog. You can get him at the Totally Stampalicious store....he is ADORABLE!!


Sean Dog comes complete with four cute sentiments that will warm your heart! Make sure you get your set today!

Be sure to hop on over to the Totally Stampalicious Challenge Blog HERE to see what the rest of the Dream Team DT has created JUST FOR YOUR CRAFTY PLEASURE!!! Ciao!

Get Your Giggles on with Totally Stampalicious!!

Happy Totally Stampalicious Monday!

First off, I'd like to say a HUGE Stampalicious WELCOME to our new Design Team members! Congratulations, ladies, I can't wait to get to work with you!! 

It's been a very long, busy, hectic, stressful week for this girl and my family. We are having some trouble "adjusting" to having DH home full time...so there's been a lot of extra tension, stress and emotions flying around our home so, I admit, I haven't had much time in my craft room or on the computer these days. Just need to spend more "family" time together and that is something we're not used to LOL...

I quickly whipped my card up yesterday afternoon in between helping my hubby with our semi truck - it has been torn apart since Wednesday! Not good when you need it to run your own business LOL....Oh well, it's all back together now, he's back spraying today and away we go...hopefully the weather stays good now for a while.

Alright...enough of my babbling....lol....


Our challenge this week over at Totally Stampalicious is GET YOUR GIGGLE ON - make a funny card!" Easy peesy, right?!? Well, not for me - only because I just couldn't decide on which FUNNY set to use! There are so many awesome ones that fit that bill...so, I decided to ink up one that I haven't used much yet - SHOPPING CART STELLA. I love Stella...she seriously cracks me up!



Please be sure to hop on over to the TS Challenge BLOG and see what other "hilarious" creations the dream team has made for you!! Happy crafting!!
