**Anything Goes** New Challenge with Crafty Girls!

It's time for another Anything Goes challenge at Crafty Girls, and we've got two lovely sponsors this fortnight.  First up is Bugaboo Stamps. I'm really crazy about these Bobble Head digis, I've used a few of them and they're just adorbs.  I chose Hoot Hoot Hooray for this card.

Our second sponsor is The Stamping Chef, and I'm using the Rosalind image for this card.  While I'm sooo crazy about arrows right now, I also picked it 'cause I'm a Sagittarius.

Make sure you visit the blog and see what the rest of the DT has created.  You've got two weeks to play along with us and you can enter up to three times.  Thanks so much for looking and happy crafting.  Laters!

MY Vampire Can Beat YOUR Werewolf

Any day of the week, just try him!  It's no secret that I'm Team Edward and that I usually side with whoever doesn't grow twice their size and become covered in fur whenever they're angry or there's a full moon.  This card perfectly evokes my supernatural preference. I used one of the newest digis from The Stamping Chef, cleverly named Fangtasia!

Princess Of Hearts - New Release With The Stamping Chef!

OFF WITH HER HEAD!  Oh wait, that's the QUEEN of Hearts....anyways I had soooo many ideas for this week's new The Stamping Chef release.  It took me a few tries to nail down my final project.  I think of her as the Queen of Hearts' daughter in waiting.

Princess Of Hearts

I'm not usually so undecided on a theme as I was with this card.  At first I thought to color her like Alice.  Then I thought of her being just a regular princess with no Alice or Wonderland connections at all.  In the end though, I thought of her being the daughter of the queen was kinda interesting. You know I like my projects to have stories :D

Remember that Princess of Hearts will be on sale for twenty percent off through Sunday night.  Happy crafting.  Laters!

Batter Up! New Release With The Stamping Chef!!!

Don't forget that through Sunday night, Batter Up is available for twenty percent off in the shop!  Thanks so much for looking.  Laters!
