{You're in luck} TCP Tuesday

hi there,

I needed a break from working and learning so I decided to play along with this week's TCP Tuesday challenge, which is all about green and gold. Now if you're like me...I don't have a whole lot of gold laying around so I had to dig deep in my embellishment pile and ...like my card says "you're in luck" and I found some brads, gears and distress Stickles glitter. yay!! I also paired something old with something new and that's cute Sprinkle here, she's a retired rubber (!) stamp from the Cat's Pajamas...as well as the sentiment. The bingo card however is one of the newer TCP stamp sets so that one is still up for grabs.

Here's a little detail up close and personal shot:

oh and the sentiment on the inside (not pictured here) says "nothing is impossible". The papers I used are scraps from one of October Afternoon's older paper pads as well as Papertrey Inks Itty bitty square pad.

thanks so much for stopping by!!

{Note This...}

Hi there,

I needed a new notebook for work and I didn't really like any of the covers of the notebooks I saw so I decided to make my own. I just discovered this new paper pad series I'm absolutely in love with and it's called "Perfect Vacation" from the Imaginisce Series by American Crafts. It just goes perfectly with Alma's swanky designs from the Cat's Pajamas so cut to...my spacey, retro cover. :)

It features Sprinkle in her space mobile from the (I think now retired) set "It's a Mod, Mod World" and the sentiment from "What's Mew". That sentiment describes perfectly how I feel at work sometimes...you know being one of very few junior artists trying to keep up with all the amazing senior artists. Definitely lost at times! lol 

Oh and the "note this"....that one was assembled using the "Coolvetica" set and the Verve set "Remember this". Here's the backside of my new notebook:

thanks so much for stopping by and happy stamping!!

so what does Spring mean to me?

Prelude to summer. Going on a diet (that dreaded swimsuit season is coming up) and pedicures! :) Even though we're currently going through a rainy patch here in Cali but it's much needed and I enjoy the rain so it's all good. :) 

So I used stamps from the set "Happy Days". I just love the surfer cool vibe this set has...funny enough I was watching Hawaii 5-0 when I made this card. Fitting don't you think?oh and the little "day" sentiment is from "Remember This". I paired this with the cute little ticket from The Cat's Pajamas. 

thank you so much for stopping by, happy hopping and good luck!!!
