Eureka Stamps Challenge #96

I hope you're having a Marvelous Monday!

Are you ready for a new challenge?  Our Eureka Stamps blog challenge this week is "Farm Animals".  How fun is that???  It's Challenge #96.

Here's what I created for this week's "Farm Animals" reveal.

I've got to tell you that these darling sheep are some of my favorite Eureka stamps!!  I've used a couple of the others in the past, so when I saw the "Farm Animals" theme, I immediately thought of these cuties.  Anyway, you can find this sweet lamb right here.

I used this pretty patterned paper from BG because I think it looks like I painted it with watercolors.  Besides, it makes a great background for my lamb. 

I fussy cut my lamb out and attached him with pop dots.

Here's a close-up of the little darlin'.  Look at that sweet face.

Of course, I had to use the sentiment "Miss Ewe".  Here's a close-up of that stamp.

You can find this adorable sentiment right here.

If you'd like to play along this week, you can link your creations up over at the blog.

Thanks for stopping by today and have a wonderful week.

Madge's Scrappin Lounge Embellishments Kits

Hello and happy Thursday!

I'm currently subscribing to Madge's Scrappin Lounge Embellishments Kits.  Here's the June kit that she sent us.  Mine isn't identical but it's real close.  Instead of the little wooden cameras, I got some people and a car.  I'm planning on making an ATC with them.

Due to the fact that I've been on vacation, I have only used the gold sequins so far.  I used them on this Eureka Stamps DT card.

Here's a close-up of the card and it shows off the sequins a bit better.

I added a tiny black bead to the center of each sequin to tie it in with the black mat on my card.

I got home late last night and have been pooped today.  I HOPE to get a couple more projects done tonight and I will get them posted as soon as possible.

Thanks for stopping by!

Eureka Stamps Challenge #95

Welcome to a new week at the Eureka Stamps blog.

This week's challenge (#95) is "Picnic".

Here's what I created.

I used this beautiful stamp ~ digi 14505.  I was kind of stumped on the "Picnic" theme, so I went with "flowers".  The plaid paper is supposed to look like a picnic tablecloth.  Pretend you're having a picnic in a field of flowers.

Here's a close-up photograph of the awesome digital stamp.

Thanks for stopping by today.  If you'd like to play along, you can link up your creations over at the Eureka blog.

Eureka Challenge #94

It's Monday already and time for a new challenge at the Eureka Stamps blog.

This week's challenge, #94, is "Friends".

Here's the card I created for this week's challenge.

I just love this beautiful stamp about friends.  You can find it in the store right here.  I decided to color it red and then use black and red patterned paper to really show it off.

Here's a close-up of the beautiful stamp.

I thought the corners needed a little something, so I added a gold sequin to each one,  then put a tiny black pearl right in the center of each sequin.  It just added that little touch of bling that I was looking for.
 
Here's a close-up of the sequin.

The lovely gold sequins are part of my goodies from Scrappin' Madge.  I'm on her Embellishment Team for the next 3 months and got some really fun embellishments from her last week.  You'll be seeing more of the awesome embellies I received in later posts.

Eureka Challenge #93

It's time for a new challenge at the Eureka Stamps blog.

This week's challenge (#93) is "Thank You".

Here's the card that I created.

I used digis 28402 and 4706 this week.  I used Gelatos on my card for the first time.   I painted the border (orange) then added the slightly smaller piece of patterned paper.  I used another piece of patterned paper and punched out the large circle.  I "splattered" paint on it.  I also used Gelatos on my butterfly, then fussy cut it out and attached it with pop dots.

Here's a close-up of my butterfly.  (I got one orange "splatter" on my butterfly which I didn't see until I took this close-up picture.)

Here's a close-up picture of Thank You".  If you look closely, you'll see some tiny paint splatters on it too.  Those little suckers really fly, don't they?  Haha

Our June DT Sketch Challenge has been posted and you can see the deets right here.  Our June challenge is "All About The Men in our Lives".  We have 2 sketches for you this month ~ so there's a "twist".  You can create a layout, a card, or both.  This first sketch, by Pagemaps, is for layouts only.

This sketch, also by Pagemaps, is for cards only.

I used the first sketch and created this layout called "My Guys" (my grandsons).  I thought the layout sketch would be perfect for Becky Higgin's Project Life papers and elements.

This challenge is not limited to Father's Day and can be about any "men" in your life.

Eureka Challenge #92

Hello and welcome to a brand new challenge at the Eureka Stamps blog.

This week's challenge, #92, is "Father's Day".

Here's the card I created for this week's challenge.

I used digi 8109 for my card and you can find it in the store right here.  

Here's a close-up picture of the cool stamp.  I just love this font.  I printed it out on cream cardstock and lightly colored the little flowers (although it's hard to see that).

Here's another close-up picture ~ of one of the jute bows.

One more ~ this one is a close-up of the wooden gear.

If you'd like to play along, just link up your Father's Day creation over at the blog.

Thanks for stopping by today and have a wonderful week!
