Oh Ohhh, Here Comes Happy Doogie... Guard the Sushi

Here's the last of the card samples I gave to Michele at Island Scrapbooking for her b/d.  I was a bit stumped on creating a scene with a table, wall, and floor but happy with how this turned out.   Wadaya think?  I searched thru my collection of stamps looking for a "person" to include in this scene but when I came across Doogie by Sister Stamps, I couldn't resist putting him on the table.  Initially, the table legs were straight on the sides and I thought they looked too plain so I used a punch by Martha Stewart to carve the sides.  The center of the Maki Sushi (the round ones) were colored with 4 Copics for the carrots, tuna, kamaboko (fish cake), and cucumber.  LOL.  Can you see it?  Are you getting hungry?  I sure could go for some yummy sushi right now.


The sushi, plate, chopsticks, chopstick rest, and sentiment are from the "Let's Roll" stamp set by Lawn Fawn which I got at Island Scrapbooking.  This was a "must-have" set for me.

Hope you enjoyed the samples I posted the past 10 days.  If you're in Hilo and want to see them in real life, they are displayed at Island Scrapbooking.

Thanks for stopping by and HAVE A SCRAP HAPPY DAY.

Flowers Just for You

TGIF!!!

Floral arrangements are fun to make and even more so with dies.  I just can't have enough of them.  For this card, I used 4 different dies.   "Berry Sprig" and "Tall Vase" by Poppy Stamps.  Also, "Fine Florets" and "Pokey Stems" by Memory Box.  Got all of them at Island Scrapbooking including the Happy Birthday laser cut sentiments.
This card sample was part of Michele's (of Island Scrapbooking) b/d goodie bag.  One more to go which I hope will make you smile.  Hope you'll stop by tomorrow to take a peek.  Till then, toodles!

An Inspiring CAS Card

Here's the 8th sample included in Michele's (of Island Scrapbooking) birthday goodie bag.   Kept this card simple to focus on the butterfly die and quote.   The moment I saw the "Kensington Border" die at Island Scrapbooking, I knew it was a must-have.  The quote was made on my computer.

I'll be posting sample #9 tomorrow.  Hope you'll hop over for a visit.  Till then, HAVE A SCRAP HAPPY DAY.

A "Thank You" Sample Card

Hope you all enjoyed the long weekend.  

Here's the 7th sample card included in the birthday goodie bag I gave to Michele of Island Scrapbooking.  Using the "Dainty Leaf" and "Small Hydrangea Blooms" dies by Poppy Stamps from Island Scrapbooking, I framed it with my Spellbinder dies.  To give the flower dimension, I made the petals  purple and pink.    Also, rolled the back of the petals with my stylus then flipped it over and pressed the center down using a smaller stylus.   Can you tell I love to used butterflies on my cards?  This one is by EK.   

The laser cut sentiment by Island Scrapbooking is always easy and fun to add to any project and of course, the crystal flourish stickers gives some pizzazz.

The butterfly DP (cute yah?), sentiment, and crystal flourish are from Island Scrapbooking too.

Have a great week and stop by tomorrow for another post.  Toodles.

Friends

I had a rubber stamp with this inspiring quote but since it didn't fit in the embossed rectangle, I made it on my computer.  The embossing folder I used is called "Rectangle Spring is in the Air" by Nellie Snellen which has 4 little butterflies.  To add dimension, I punched my own using glitter paper and a butterfly punch by EK then taped it over the embossed butterflies.  The sentiment is a laser cut.   Oh, and the lace punch is by Martha Stewart.

Hope you'll stop by again tomorrow for another post of the samples I gave to Michele at Island Scrapbooking.  Five more to go.

Have a fun and crafty LONG weekend.

"Pocket Gift Tag" Card

Using the "Pocket Gift Tag" and "Plush Bow" dies by Memory Box, I made this card and added some crystal flourishes by Prima for some sparkle.  The floral DP is by Jillibean and checkered/dots DP by Pebbles.  You can find these fun goodies at Island Scrapbooking including the laser cut sentiment.


I'll have another post tomorrow so I hope you'll stop by for a visit.

Have a fabulous and crafty LONG weekend.
