A note for international participants.
I am thrilled to have you play along on the Freebie Friday's and Challenges.  However, due to the high cost of international postage, I ask that you pay the difference.  I will email you an invoice for the Postage amount over what I would have paid for a domestic shipment.  Please feel free to email me with any questions.

Make a Card Monday - Tea Time

Happy Monday!!!

Do you LOVE Monday's or Dred them?  I am a mixture of both. :) 

Here is a sweet little card I put together this morning before heading into the office.

 

I used the Alphabet Junction papers by Carta Bella.  Are those little orange flowers sweet or what?

 

The jute was a perfect find at Target.  I am starting to get addicted to their $1 area. Yikes!

 

I used some dimensional tape to elevate the layer with the jute so the card didn't get those creases in the layers when you put the paper right over the jute.

 

 

 

I colored here with a combination of Copic Sketch and ProMarker.  She is not perfect, but I still think she is darn cute!

 

The adorable stamp is from the T-Time set made by Penny Black.  You can see it in detail HERE!

 

Hope you enjoyed my little card.

Lets announce our winner from Challenge #26

Ready... I am so please to announce the Pumpkin Spice 1st VOTED winner.

Michelle of Lady of Leisure Ink

Look at this amazing project.

Thank you everyone for playing along with us.
Michelle ~ be sure to grab the "Winner" button to the right!
and Email me your mailing address to receive your special prize!

VOTING FOR CHALLENGE #27 IS OPEN!

And here is our Challenge #28.

 Farm 

(animals or vegetables -  anything that makes you think farm )

Here is my interpretation:

Cute huh??!!
I used the left over Carta Bella "Alphabet Junction" from the layout yesterday along with my ProMarkers.  I love to color... takes me back to elementary school.

I really like the ProMarkers because I am not an experienced 'shader' so just coloring over the same area with the same or similar color will kinda do the shading for you.

Daily SPS Inspiration with Denine - Layout

Hello Friends,

I am so excited.. I put together a layout the other evening while the Hubby and I were watching TV.  So easy... I think I am in love with the Pocket Photo Pages.  It makes it so simple and I have lots of space for journaling.

I must admit, I was not a fan of this type of layouts.  I thought I was cheating.. but let me just say... I love it!  I get to show off the paper, which if you know me... I LOVE PAPER.  Super easy to fill the page and show off your pictures too...

ok.. ok... enough of my rambling.

Here is what I came up with using just 3 sheets of 12 x 12 with LOTS of extras left over to make some cards with.

I used Carta Bella's - Alphabet Junction.

I have more of these pocket pages arriving tomorrow in 6 different styles.. Eeeekkkkk.  Looking forward to a weekend of Scrapbooking. :)

Remember, voting is open until 9 pm PST for Challenge #26
and you still have time to submit your project for Challenge #27, voting will OPEN at 9:01 pm PST for Challenge #27

Happy Crafter Hugs,

Winner Announcements, VOTING OPEN, and Challenge #27

Good Morning Everyone,

Happy July 6th! {lol}  Are you still hearing fire crackers in your head.  I sure am!

We chose to NOT light any fireworks this year, instead we took Pumpkin to see Disposable Me 2, very funny!  Then we sat and watched all the beautiful colors out our windows, it was fabulous.  Hubby and I tried to snap some pictures... but it just wouldn't work for us.

It was so nice and relaxing.  We live right in between 2 areas that have AMAZING displays every year.. so we enjoyed without the traffic, parking, and hassle.  It was great.

Ok, so I have so many winners to announce... and of course our MONTHLY BLOG HOP!!

Today's Daily SPS Inspiration with Marlene - Card

Hello Everyone!

Marlene here from ScrappinCookie!

I'm happy to be here today to share a quick card  I made using just a few of the products you can find at the ShopPumpkinSpice Store.

My card uses papers from the Echo Park Sweet Day 6x6 Paper Pad. I love the floral pattern and the texture of the papers in this Echo Park Paper Pad and for $4.19 at the ShopPumpkinSpice Store - its a MUST HAVE!

I made a quick Paper Rosette from Bazzill Kraft Cardstock using the Tim Holtz Sizzix Rosette Die. Using the Tim Holtz Sizzix Rosette Die is SOO MUCH easier than scoring every 1/4" - DEFINITLY recommend it. I then stamped the sentiment with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on to Carta Bella's Natural White Linen Cardstock. I just have to tell you that Carta Bella's Natural White Linen Cardstock has become my FAVORITE and GO TO cardstock!! I just LOVE the texture, its just PERECT - even for stamping!!

I love adding small mulberry paper roses to my cards. For today's card I used a small cluster of  Prima Mulberry Rose- love that they have a touch of gold on the petals.

As a final touch a tied some twill ribbon I had in my stash and added a small bow made from  "Cappuccino" Baker's Twine with a small blue button.

I hope you have enjoyed my ShopPumpkinSpice Inspiration! ALL products used in my card can be found at the ShopPumpkinSpice Store.

Today's Daily SPS Inspiration from Denine - Quick Cards

Hello Everyone,

Denine here bringing you some quick cards again.  

One of the things that I just LOVE about My Mind's Eye - The Sweetest Thing and nearly all of the My Mind's Eye product lines, are the way the papers and accessories just melt together.

Then I noticed that the Carta Bella Lines Winter Fun and Merry & Bright were an exact match to the colors used in the MME The Sweetest Thing line.  Ohhh was I excited because I LOVE the quality of both of these paper line.  The 12 x 12 papers for both are thick and have texture... oh I just Love them... did I say that already.  Anyhow, enough of my gushing... here are the VERY quick cards I made to mainly show off the color coordination and the paper.   I just did 'fronts' tonight, because I am out of Kraft cardstock and I really think that will work best with these two.

Isn't the print and pattern beautiful on this paper.  I loved the doily print the minute I saw and... I was going to use it for holiday cards ... but... well as you can see that didn't happen. lol


Stamp sets - Fiskars - Friends.  

Ink: I also used Texas Chocolate ink for both the edging and the stamp - love this ink.  

My papers are from MME "My Sweetest Thing" Lavender - Fabulous Berries and Carta Bella "Merry & Bright" - Green Glow/Cotton Candy and "Winter Fun" - Frozen Beige/Rouge for the solid base layers.  

I also used My Sweetest Thing Stickers for the banner, and some Jute. 

Well I hope you enjoyed my quick cards. 

Happy Friday and Come back tomorrow for our Weekly Challenge... they are so much fun.  

There is still time to enter this weeks LOVE challenge... come play with us and be inspired by the other submissions.  They are such a blast to go look at.

Hugs,

Today's Daily SPS Inspiration from Agnes- Card

Hello, this is me agnes
aka
flowerdisco. 

i am a new addition to this already awesome design team. today is my first post and i am so happy you came to visit.

i love making cards and love playing with pretty paper and, if you are like me, then you are in the right place. the pumpkin spice store is the place you need to get your "fix", i mean scrap supplies, hehe, you also will find many other addictive goodies. personally, i think denine has the best prices in her shop. if you "gotta see to believe", click here to see for yourself---(wink  wink).

anyway, i got this awesome paper at the shop called beautiful moments, from the new brand carta bella. oh my! you are going to love it. nice thickness and gorgeous patterns and colors, yummy! along with these papers i also got my first unity stamp called jars of love x 3.
these jars are all the rage right now and the hearts make them perfect for valentine's day. the hearts come separate from the jars, in the same package. this is great because if you want to use the jars for any other occasion, you can, yay!
well, enough of chat-chat and let me show what i made with my shop pumpkin spice goodies.

Love
4x4 square card

the jars were stamped using a versafine onyx ink (my new favorite). i then stamped the hearts on the jars with versamark, sprinkled them with red brick distressed embossing powder from tim holtz and added this softer than most  jute. the rest came from my forever stash, :D what a cute and easy card if you asked me...shhh! it really took me a while, hehe. i wasn't pleased with the first one i made. wink-wink.
oh, i almost forgot the "so happy" sentiment comes from a my mind's eye clear stamp set i also got from the shop.
and...this is it for now.

 thank you again for stopping  by to see my first project for this blog.

 i hope you liked my project and i invite you to subscribe, bookmark or follow us. this way you won't miss anything that denine has in store for all of us----and, that includes you too.

have a great day!
