Delight

Good evening- I had some time this afternoon to craft and wanted to play along with the Weekly Shape Challenge at the Silhouette Blog.  This week the shape is a boarder set by Jennifer Wambach.  To make the base, I welded rounded rectangles the size of an A2 card.  The mat was made by offsetting the original shape. The paper is Fabulous Girl by Recollections but I have seen the same patterns sold by Simple Stories and called Fabulous. The fact that I observed that implies to me that I stare at paper too much.
 Yummmm, Paper!

"Delight"- Market Street Stamps- Simple Joys

Thanks for stopping by today!

Paint the Town Challenge # 17

It is paint the town time at Market Street Stamps blog.  I made a card just in time to post at the challenge. But if you would like to play along check out the details here.  You should check out the elegant cards the design team made, you won't be sorry.  Here is my card featuring a stamp from MSS-35 Faith in You.

Buy Some Shoes, Gift Card Holder

Well, I should be doing laundry....but I would rather play in the craft room. Here is the details of the challenge and the colors to pick.

I made a gift card holder.  I found some paper that had most of the colors and added eggplant ink and lined the envelope with the same color. Great little gift for any "fashionista" in your life.

Front of Envelope

Supplies:

gift card cut: Cricut Lyrical Letters

patterned paper: GCD Studios, Debonair

Stamps: Market Street Stamps, MSS-20 Fashionista

Follow your Heart Mini

I have been dying to play with these stamps from Market Street Stamps! They are hosting a "block party" where you can post your crafty creation at their blog. (and a good reason to play with my new stamps)  This mini was made for my daughter.  I adore the playful, artsy look of the stamps I featured in the project:  MSS-KG-04 Love, and MSS-KG Foodie Doodles.  The base of my album was made with my Cricut.  I just lined up the shapes and ran the middle through my sewing machine.  The paper is from The Paper Studio, Ooh! La! La!. 

Block Party Time!

I love a good challenge, Market Street Stamps has their Block Party this weekend.  You just need to make a project with your Market Street Stamps.  Here is the link for more details: Block Party!  The owner even has a free digi stamp for a limited time at the Market Street ning site, The Neighborhood.  The free digi is a darling camper. 
For my project, I was inspired by the packaging on the Basic Grey Serendipity & Shine On Collection. They have a kite flying behind some clouds and a great bicycle image.  I immediately thought this would make an enjoyable card with my Market Street Stamps, Riding By.

Market Street Stamps Block Party

This weekend Market Street Stamps is having a "block party".  You can join the fun at their "Neighborhood" ning site.  Members can download a free digi stamp! This month I had to grab this dress.  I think it is so chic..

Operation Write Home

I heard about a card collection for the military at the Market Street Stamps Blog.  They are hosting a blog hop with "funny cards" and if you are interested here is the link: operation write home.   I will be putting together a box to send with cards in my stash that would be suited for the collection. 

Here is my "spoketacular" card. I used my new Riding By stamps by Market Street Stamps.  I love the graphic clean lines of their stamp collections. 

Nifty 50!

My hubby is 50! Makes the math easy for me because I met him when he was turning thirty.  I have known my dear husband for 20 years!!! I made this nifty card for him with a beautiful digi stamp that Market Street Stamps generously gave me for signing up with their ning site. I love this funky radio as I my dad enjoyed fixing up old radios.. and I would ask my dad a bazillion questions while he was working on his radios.

"50" is from Letter Envy, "nifty" and retro base is from Nifty Fifties
both are Cricut Cartirdges
