Just a Peek

It's time for Your Next Stamp Tasty Tuesday!

What is Tasty Tuesday? It is finding papercrafting inspiration using pictures of food. One picture will provide inspiration for the whole month and each week different members of the design team will share projects.

PLUS, if you play along you will have the chance to win a $10 gift certificate to the YNS store. Head on over to the YNS blog for all the details.

March's inspiration photo is full of fruit and color...

Fruit Infused Coconut Water 

Now on to the card that was inspired by this picture...

That silly cat from Smiley Happy Cute Critter Crew 2 is playing around. The sentiment is from the Insta Love set.
Ummm - yep, this is the same basic layout I used for last month's Tasty Tuesday - I just realized it!!!  Of course last month's did not have window panes.  When I saw the inspiration, I was drawn to the colors and layout.

I look forward to seeing you play along!

Smiles,
Julie

NEW RELEASES AT LITTLE MISS MUFFET!!

Hello everyone!  It is new release time at LITTLE MISS MUFFET STAMPS.  I was lucky enough to be asked to join the DT and now I get to officially play along with the fabulous team.  Thank you Faye!

The new release is full of the sweetest images - lots for Easter and other occassions.  Visit the LITTLE MISS MUFFET Blog to see all the other wonderful creations from the team.

 

 

I decided to ink up Claudia's Butterflies.  It is not warm outside yet, so at least I could think of warmth while coloring this cutie. Pairing up the image with lots of sunny yellow patterned paper from Echo Park added even more warmth.

Be sure to join us on the FACEBOOK FAN PAGE.  Barbara has promised a FREEBIE when we reach 200 followers, so tell your friends too!!

Winter Vaca

Your Next Stamp Fun Friday Time!

This month's theme is vacation - fun in the sun or the snow!

Quite honestly, if I was planning a vacation right now I would be heading for the sun, but Skating Fun Fhiona is happy in the snow and smiling away on my winter vacation card.  There are lots of YNS products on my card... the snowflakes are from the Whatnots Season One die set, the pink mat is actually the polaroid die from the new Insta Love Polaroid Die Set, the sentiment is from Rosalie and it is placed on a fishtail banner.

Smiles,
Julie

Sweet and Simple Valentine

I am sharing a sweet little ole simple card with you today in celebration of Valentine's Day.

I was inspired by all the wonderful creations I have seen lately with images colored on kraft.  My card features one of the cuties from YNS' Critter 2 set and a sentiment from MFT combined with MME patterned paper.
My card is for the Outlawz CAS Valentine challenge.

Have a SWEET day!
Smiles,
Julie

Something New

Today I am playing along with Little Miss Muffet Challenge 54, which is a sketch.

 

 

The image is Celeste Amberglow Owl Always Love You.  Just enough sweetness with the hearts to use this one for Valentine's Day.    Now on to the new. The shirt, socks, pink hearts and skin were colored using my newly purchased Spectrum Noir markers that I picked up at I Heart Papers - thanks Alyssa for enabling me and you didn't even have to make a thing!  The markers are super affordable at less than $2 each.  If you need to expand your marker collection I recommend giving the markers a try. 

My card is also for the Outlawz Copic challenge - Valentines!

 

Have a wonderful day!

Smiles,
Julie

Signs of Spring

With snow continuing to fall outside my window I thought it only appropriate to share some "Spring" today.

 

The butterfly and sentiment are from YNS' Butterfly Love. 

 

Are you doing a countdown to warmer weather?

 

Smiles,

Julie
