Little Dragon- Practical Scrappers Stickers Challenge

Here we go with my first post for Practical Scrappers. This weeks challenge is STICKERS. Stickers!? I don’t use stickers! It truly was a challenge. I thought about it long and hard and finally settled on a border sticker (then black checkered strip) on the front. I love the green paper. It goes well with a sickness (thanks Marianne!).

Dustin Pike Sick Owl Card

Lisa — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 19:54:02 +0000

I love owls. Have I mentioned that I love owls? This digi is from Dustin Pike. I have a soft spot for Dustin Pike for three reasons (other than his fabulous images, of course). One, he’s High Hopes newest artists. Two, he loves Disneyland, and three, he too lives in Utah. If you know me, you know I love all three of those things. It can’t get much better than that.

Check out Dustin’s site. He has some fantastic images and gives out lots of fabulous freebies. He also has a challenge blog that I have yet to enter but plan to. Lol, I sound like a commercial. I don’t know Dustin, I’m not a DT member either, just a fan.

The sentiment is from High Hopes. The checkered green paper from American Crafts and the orange polkadot paper is from Pebbles Inc.

I followed this weeks sketch at Friday Sketchers. I finished this card at 1:30 this morning so please forgive me for spacing the horizontal stripe. I swear it wasn’t on the sketch last night, lol.

I’ll be back tomorrow with my Squigglefly DT card. It turned out fabulously if I may say so myself.

Whipper Snapper The Nurse is in Card

Lisa — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 02:20:56 +0000

I love this cute little Whipper Snapper stamp of a little girl named Nurse Morgan. I colored her to match the fab green paper from American Crafts and the pink polka-dots from Bo Bunny. I used my Cricut to cut out the circles and embossed the front circle with the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder. The lace border punch is from Martha.

Challenges:

I followed the sketch from Sketch Saturday. Both The Pink Elephant and Cute Card Thursdays challenges are to add green (my second entry for both). Stamp Something challenge is “something girly” and Simon Says is also “girly”. Last but not least Creative Inspirations challenge is to add lace, pins, and pearls.

Whipper Snapper Get Well Soon Sick Bug Card

Lisa — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 04:41:26 +0000

I was planning on holding out until my new markers showed up but I didn’t want to miss out on the first challenge over at Practical Scrappers. The challenge is to use at least 5 eyelets on a project. I used 6 eyelets on the front and 4 on the inside. I’ve been known to over do it on the eyelets so I tried not to go too crazy. I went through an eyelet addiction a while back that gave me plenty to choose from. I’m still not fully recovered.

The sick bug stamp is from Whipper Snapper, my favorite stamp company. The get well soon sentiment is from Studio G. The patterned paper is by s.e.i. called citrus kick- lemon zest. I used some paper raffia, orange stickles, and All Natural Accent flowers as well.

My sweet sister-in-law and I placed my first order to Whipper Snapper Design last night. I can’t wait for them to come!! I sold at least a fourth of my stamp collection so that I could update my collection. It was well worth it. The shipping costs there are ridiculous so hold out until you have some cash to spend. I bought this particular Whipper Snapper at Addicted to Rubber Stamps awhile back. They aren’t carrying it at the moment but have plenty of other adorable stamps (including new Whipper Snappers). If you take a short survey they give you a code for 50% off one stamp or 15% off your entire order right now too. Yes, I’ve been looking at stamps a lot lately…
