Happy Sunday!!!  Today is kind of crazy day, it's been a crazy month, an Alice In Wonderland project feels right doesn't it?  While creating this, I did play Adam Lambert's "Down The Rabbit Hole" a few times.  Great song.

Fairy Forest Greetings with Dies R Us!!!

Happy Tuesday everyone!  Lisa here, sharing a fun fairy card!  I am SO in love with Fairy Hugs products!  I used so many to make this card along with dies from Memory Box.


I gathered my supplies and couldn’t wait to start playing!


The Fairy Hugs papers have a kind of slick or shiny finish to them, so I stamped my images with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink.  I let it sit for about an hour and then checked it and the ink was dry.  Yay!

I forgot to show in my first photo the Cuttlebug folder I used for my foil layer.



I hope this card inspires to get your fairy on with all of the fun and amazing stamps, papers and dies that Dies R Us carries.  --Lisa

STAMPtember - Day Eleven - BE STRONG!!!! FIGHT!!!!! DO NOT COMPLY!!!!!!

MY ORIGINAL POST FOR TODAY IS BELOW.

My blog, my words, my personal space.  Period.

I WILL NOT COMPLY.'

I will not let someone else--anyone else but especially not a dementia ridden pervert psychopath--tell me what I'm going to put in my body.

I will fight.

WE ALL HAVE TO FIGHT.

Originally I had a patriotic card to share to remember what happened on this day in 2001.  But I've made another card, an empowering card.

I don't usually share the products I'm using unless it's a DT post, but here I will link to the Colorado Craft Company America Strong stamp set that I used for this card.  I encourage you all to buy this stamp and FIGHT for your freedom, for your family, for the future.

Original text: Twenty years ago we faced the worst day our country has ever seen.  I know many are oblivious to this nowadays, they've forgotten because facing the truth is harder than hiding from it.  But we were attacked, and we can never forget that and never stop fighting for our country and our freedoms.  Period.

Later on today I'll share a happier card, but for right now, I've got a patriotic card to honor what happened twenty years ago today.

    Happy Fall Ya'all with Dies R Us!!!!

    Happy Tuesday everyone!  Lisa here, sharing a fall themed card with lots of shimmer!  I combined products from Frantic Stamper, Lawn Fawn and Tutti Designs to make this card!


    I started my project by choosing a fall-themed background die by Frantic Stamper called Swirling Leaves Stitched Background.  It's 3.5" by 5" so I ran it through my die cut machine twice on my 6.75" x 4.75" mat.  You can't even see the line between the two, the die lines up beautifully.


    I decided I wanted to use a stamp since September is National Stamping Month, so I pulled out my Lawn Fawn Before 'N Afters stamp set.  


    I chose to pair the stamp set with one of my favorite die sets, Tutti Designs Cross Stitch Banners.  Unfortunately, I somehow deleted the photos I took of the stamping, coloring and inking processes.  My apologies!  I do have a photo of the card before I adhered it together and embellished it.

    I hope this card inspires to make a fun fall card with any of the fun and amazing dies that Dies R Us carries.  --Lisa

      STAMPtember - Day Two - Tick Tock, Tick Tock, Tick Tock, Tick Tock

       I swear, as I wrote that post title, I was singing in it my head. You know Gwen Stefani's first solo song?  "Whatchu Waitin' For"?  Yeah, that was in my head.  Man, I used to listen to that album every day.

      Yeah, there's gonna be a lot of nostalgia in my posts this month, buckle up for that.

      STAMPtember - Day One - It's FINALLY HERE!!!!!

      HAPPY STAMPTEMBER EVERYONE!!!

      Okay so my favorite time of the year is still Christmastime, but my second favorite time of the year is STAMPtember!!  It's that amazing month when every company releases amazing new images, and a personal favorite, Simon Says Stamp, releases a BRAND NEW STAMP SET every.  Single.  Day.  They pair with loads of amazing companies like The Greeting Farm, Pinkfresh Studio, Tim Holtz, there's SO MANY!!!  I cannot wait!

      Anyways, I have a TON of great projects to share with you this month.  SO MANY projects.  I'm having a blast creating.  STAMPtember is so fun because:

      1. No sticker cards!
      2. No die-only cards!
      3. No I-only-stamped-the-sentiment cards!
      Usually I restrict myself during STAMPtember to sharing only cards with stamped images (unless I have other DT commitments) and I don't create with digis.  BUT.  This year is going to be a little different.

      If you know me at all, you know that one of my favorite stamp companies is Unity Stamps.  They have this AMAZING designer named Angie Blom who makes beautiful and creative girly stamps.  Her line with Unity is called ANGIE Girls, and they're fabulous.  Last year however, Angie struck out on her own and started drawing digital stamps.  The artwork is every bit as amazing as it was with Unity, and I have purchased many of her fabulous digi stamps, and will be sharing some of those creations this month.  You can find her incredible digi stamps here.

      My first project for this month is made with one of Angie's amazing images.  I feel like this looks like a vintage Barbie, which is why I love it!!
