Torendi design team competition FINAL WEEK **Please vote for me!**

THANK YOU so much for all the votes. I don’t even know what to say. I am speechless! You guys are amazing! Abrazos! Big hugs!! I am so excited to be participating in Torendi’s design team competition FINAL WEEK!
Here is my card for the final week of the Torendi Design Team competition! This is it, folks! The top two vote-receivers will be in on the design team. So for one last week, I humbly ask for your votes. The poll is on the upper right hand corner of the Torendi blog. I would love your vote again. It would mean the world to me! I can’t tell you how excited I am about Torendi and how excited and honored I would be to be on the design team.
This cutie pie dog stamp is in the “Joy” Torendi Kit. I can’t get over what a cutie he is! I colored him with copics and cut him out. I used twine and wrapped it around the robots hand attaching to the dog to look like they are on a walk!
The robot is called “hellobot” and is also sold at Torendi. Isn’t he cute? He loves his little puppy as much as I love mine! The chip board letters are Basic Grey and the color is called “dark chocolate chip”. That makes me crave candy big time! 🙂
These trees are stamps by A Muse and they were stamped on The Boyfriend mini deck papers. How fun would it be to live in a world with pencil trees?! 🙂
The grassy hill was made with sticky back canvas. I had SO much fun with this stuff. I actually made a video of me trying it out for the first time. Check it out here.

Once again, thank you SO much for your votes last week, and, if this card makes you smile and you feel so inclined, I would so appreciate your vote one final time. Thank you so much for all the support! It means the world to me!

Have an amazing day,

I miss you!

I am so sorry I have been gone from the blog. It is amazing how much I miss it! I haven’t been feeling very well and had a forced crafting break because of that. I am excited about getting back to it tomorrow. I hope to have a product test video on sticky back canvas tomorrow. I will try it out for the first time on video, so you know there be some hijinks! 😉

Thank you so much for visiting!
Have an amazing day,

just a note to say hello


Hello! I decided to use the infamous deer paper! The sweeties at American Crafts sent me a bunch of goodies and in that pack they sent me about 25 sheets of the deer paper!! Eeeek! I am so excited! I might have to make a video to show you the cool stuff they sent. It’s so bright and happy!

This card is for the Raspberry Suite challenge and Get Sketchy challenge. I wasn’t able to get the colors to show up quite right on the camera. I promise they are closer to the official colors than they seem! ETA: I also made this for the Tuesday Trigger over at Moxie Fab! How could I forget?! I used the colors and the spring-y feel of the image board as inspiration. This is how it went down: I saw the Tuesday Trigger, saw my deer paper, and thought it was a perfect fit!
How fun is this American Crafts stamp? It’s so graphic and cool! I just love it! I promise the greens match better too! What is up with my photography skills today?! Haha!
