The stamp says, "Whoop De Freakin' Do!" How awesome is that?! I used it here as a birthday card. Inside the card it reads, "It's Your Birthday!". My son made the point of mentioning that this card probably wouldn't be appropriate for a kid. Hehehee.

So sign up today, and good luck!

Gobble, gobble, gobble!

Happy Tuesday! Well, there has to be something to be happy about. Did you enjoy your long weekend? I hope you did!

Sometimes I try to challenge myself by making a clean and simple card. I find I'm always adding more detail and embellishments to my creations. Are you the same way?

Well, when I saw this adorable little turkey stamp from CCS I decided it should be the focal point on my card. Sometimes when too many embellishments are added, you can lose the stamp in all that creativeness. So here's an idea for some fun, quick and simple cards you can send to your friends and family. Who doesn't just love a cute little turkey?!

I used kraft coloured paper, scored and corner-rounded the sides and added some colour and faux stiching. Other than that, it's all turkey!

Inside it reads, "Happy Turkey Day!", a cute stamp also available in the same set!

Mmmmm....I feel like turkey for breakfast now..

Have a great day!

Check out this darling digi-stamp from DzDoodles. What a sweet image! It's one of those images that's great for any occasion - all sorts of cards; birthdays, thinking of you, Easter, Christmas, etc. It's so much bang for your buck, and at only $3, that's a lotta bang! What is bang supposed to mean anyway? ;)

Digital images are awesome! Have you ever used them before? You receive them the same day, can re-size them, and they take very little space. And we all know how short on space we can be.
For this card I used Cosmo Cricket paper, and Stampin Up' Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, and Ruby Red paper.

What do you think?

Ho! Ho! Ho!

Sometimes inspiration can hit you when you least expect it. After flipping through a scrapbook magazine I noticed a page someone made using a bunch of small squares, and thought, what a great idea for a card!

Here's what I came up with. I used the Jingle Jangle set. The stamps in the set are the perfect size for this project!

Card is 5-1/2" x 5-1/2". Squares are 1-1/4" x 1-1/4", with distressed edges. Sentiments are also available as part of Creative Clear Designs' Jingle Jangle set.

Where do you find your inspiration?

Finally!

After over nine years Karl and I are finally married! What a beautiful ceremony too! Here's a picture from our big day;

NEW Releases!

As promised, here's a few projects made with some of the many new releases available at http://www.dzdoodles.com/ today.
























Here's a nifty idea for a gift. These digi stamps are perfect for recipe cards, tags on sweet treats or thank you cards. The best part is that they're resizable and they won't break the bank!
























Cute, right?!



What do you think?


Tomorrow's our wedding day. Wish us luck! ;)

Two Days Left!

I just love their digital stamps. They're so fun to resize and play around with. Tune in on Saturday to my blog as well as their site to see what's new.
Here's a few cards I've made with some of their existing digi stamps. I love these stamps. The're only about $3 each!

What do you think?

Guess what?! There are only 3 more days until my guy and I are married! THREE days. Oh boy!

Rebecca

Brrrr!

It's getting pretty cold up here in Canada. It's about 10 degrees celcius (50 degrees fahrenheit) today. What's the weather like where you are?

Are you thinking about starting your holiday cards yet? I am, but I've barely started!

Make your card making easier with some of Creative Clear Stamps' sets. They're adorable, unique, and versatile. Here's a card I made with their Jingle Jangle set. Adorable!

A question for you: Do you have any unique holiday traditions? Post a comment to share. ;)

Have a great day!

Blog Hop & Exciting News!

I've been blessed to become one of Creative Clear Stamps' (CCS) new design team members! I can't wait to show you some of the cool stuff they have coming out. They're the cutest stamps!

To start things off we're jumping around in a blog hop today. Check out http://www.creativeclearstamps.com/ to meet the rest of the design team AND to check out some awesome card design ideas for your holiday cards! Hop around from site to site for some inspiration.

Here's a card I made with an adorable little reindeer from their Jingle Jangle Clear Rubber Stamp Set .




















I doodled a bit of a background, added some mini crystals for the light bulbs, used a spellbinder die for the tag and covered the card in Cosmo Cricket paper. The sentiment, "Wrap yourself in the spirit of the season" is also from Creative Clear Stamps. Isn't it so sweet? This stamp set's got it all. I can't wait to use the other stamps in the set. ;)

MORE exciting news! I'm getting married in 10 days! Oh boy. As I wrote that I realized that it's way too soon. I keep an ever growing to-do list in my pocket. Any suggestions on relaxing before the big day?

EVEN MORE exciting news!
