Emma's Stamptastic Blog Hop

Welcome to Emma's Stamptastic Blog Hop. We are so glad you could join us! We are celebrating Emma's newest release of stamps. If you got here from Katie's blog you are headed in the right direction, if not make sure you start back at Emma's blog because you don't want to miss anything.

For my project I was asked to use the Polka Dot SURPRISE set of stamps. These are SO cute! Do you love polka dots? I know I do!!! I used the cute 'May you dreams come true' sentiment for the title of my Minnie Mouse layout.

(You can always click on the photo to see some the details closer if you would like)

What is a blog hop without BLOG candy. The sweet and generous Emma is donating a set of Polka Dot SURPRISE stamps to a random commenter on my blog. To qualify for the stamp set you will need to make a comment on EVERYONE's post along the blog hop route (9 stops total). I will select a random winner from among my comments on this post and then I will verify that you have commented on everyone's post. Pretty easy right, and definitely well worth the chance at a set of beautiful stamps at every stop. You will have until Sunday night, February 13th, 2011, to comment.

Here is my scrapbook page title that was made with the Polka Dot SURPRISE stamps that you could win and below that is a picture of all of the stamps in this adorable set:

Your next stop will be the wonderful and talented Leanne. I know she has something amazing planned for you so hop on over and give her some love.

This is Christmas card that I made for the dearest couple that live in France. I met them while I was living in Melun France (a suburb of Paris) and they have become a very special part of my life. They are about the same age as my parents and sweet as can be. We quickly 'adopted' each other. En tout cas, voici ma carte de Noel...

I wanted to submit this for the Fantabulous Cricut weekly challenge.

Items Used:

*Gypsy Font
*Gypsy Wanderings for the background shape

Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge 28

I love these challenges so much! I've had my card designed in my Gypsy for almost a week, but the girls got sick and so crafting had to wait. Today everyone is feeling better and so I was able to cut and put together my card. There have been so many cute entries. I always love to see what all the other participants come up with.


Here is the wonderful sketch that we had to work with:


For my card I used the following cartridges: Gypsy font for the scalloped circle, George for the oval, squares & rectangles, New arrival for the bottles and onesie, Stretch Your Imagination for the baby, Everyday Paperdolls for the headband, Plantin Schoolbook and Gypsy Wandering for the scalloped border. Wow that is quite the list isn't it? I used Peachy Keen Stamp set PK-493 Everyday Character Face Parts and PK-573 Basic Paper Doll Faces for the pacifier.

Mickey Icon Birthday Card

This card was fun. I love Disney and this added a subtle Disney touch.

I used Gypsy Wanderings for the Happy Birthday and Plantin Schoolbook and Disney font for the scalloped Mickey border. I used ribbon from my collection as well as a prima flower and a couple of rhinestones. Have a great day!

Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge 23

Is anyone else as ready for spring as I am? I thought this Peachy Keen Challenge was the perfect recipe for my spring time wishes. This card required the following items:

* Must contain green and yellow anywhere on the project
* Must have a 3-dimensional element on the project
* Must contain a stamped image

I was so excited because I just received my new stamp set from Peachy Keen Stamps and had to use it for this challenge. The set is called Everyday Face Parts PK-493. This set is so neat, you can make people, dogs, birds, penguins, snow people, etc.

Well here is my card:




Can you tell I'm looking forward to little birds singing in the white and pink blossuming trees? For this card I used a little bird cut from the Stretch Your Imagination Cricut cartridge (using the blackout feature) and stamped with the Peachy Keen PK-493 face parts. The pink circle frame is also from Stretch Your Imagination. The smile sentiment and the tree branch are from Gypsy Wanderings. And the white blossums are Prima's.
