It’s the Bomb Diggity
So excited here! I cleaned up my big ole mess in my stamp room and found room to create. Even better it was with NEW stuff.
We have a new Photopolymer stamp set- Bomb's Away #133411
This set has great fonts and perfect to add a little humor to the big birthday celebration.
The fun began with this card when I pulled out my This and That Epic Day Stickers. I added them to the card base first and then started layering from there.
*TIP* The sticker "For the Record" is popped up on dimensionals. I took a little baby powder and sprinkled it on the sticky back to make it so it WASN'T sticky anymore. Works like a charm!
How fun that I can fit the "Holla" and "Epic" stickers inside the Chevron Embossed piece. *LOVE*
I'm on a doily binge so this card had to have one. I just can't seem to step away from them. They just make the card delicate.
I stamped the images using Sahara Sand ink and sponged very lightly around each.
Look closely… you may see a returning color on this card!
Confession… I hoard paper! I had a piece of Bermuda Bay textured cardstock in a "stash" that I pulled out. What a happy day it is!!

I have big news today. Maybe it's not really really big news but after my debacle the other day with Mr. Swallowtail I was pretty bummed. My mojo has been in high gear lately until Mr. Swallowtail. I have another date with him this weekend. We will be friends!!
Keeping in a positive mood that today's stamping escapade would be a much better experience, I am pleased to report— It was!!!
I found two stamp sets that jived together like Peanut Butter & Jelly.
I was already in love with the By the Tide stamp set (129120) and fell in love even more when I paired it with the Perfectly Penned stamp set (122892). I started with my Sent with Love Designer paper and then started layering. You can see a little of my Paper Doily hanging out. I used my Top Note die cut which had not seen it's partner Big Shot in a LONG time.
I stamped the coral image and shell with VersaMark Ink and used my Pewter Embossing Powder over it. Look how beautiful that Pewter embossing powder is. WOW!
I decided I would bedazzle my card just a wee bit more. At the top of the Top Note you can see the script image stamped in Sahara Sand. I used my Spritzer Tool and Basic Gray marker to add a "spritz" of color at the top of the Top Note.
*Tip: Remember to hold the spritzer tool higher from your project so you can achieve a better splatter.
Because I'm on a BIG Vellum kick right now I decided to stamp my Thank You from Perfectly Penned onto the Vellum and embossed it using the Pewter embossing powder. I used this as my banner and attached to the Top Note die cut by folding the left edge onto the backside of the Top Note. To make sure that the Vellum stayed in place I attached the Silver Designer button so it laid onto the Vellum and the Top Note die cut.
*NOTE* I used the thread from my Pop Up Posies kit to thread the Silver Designer button. I tied two knots in the thread to give it that "nautical" look. Once I attached the Top Note to the card base I wanted to add a little more bedazzle so I added a few rhinestones randomly on the card. It's just enough sparkle.
Above you will see the same card, just a different pattern of Designer Paper from the Sent with Love DSP.
I think this card is sea worthy! What do you think? You can find all the supplies in my Online Store!
Supplies:
Stamps: By the Tide (129120), Perfectly Penned (122892) Ink: Sahara Sand, VersaMark Cardstock: Crumb Cake, Vellum Cardstock

21 Days Forms a Habit…
You've heard this saying before, right? Do something or quit something for 21 days and you form a habit? I thought I would share a little 21 day journey that I'm currently involved with. I've even dragged a few friends with me. I believe that together you become MORE powerful when you are trying to make a change.
As you know a few weeks ago I was pretty sick with that icky awful sinus infection. During that time frame I knew that many things could be contributing to my "I just don't feel GREAT" self. My jeans don't fit like I want, I wasn't exercising and water intake is just not my gig. I could list about 10 more things but then I would REALLY be telling on myself!! Since I turned 40 my entire mind and body has been going through these CRAZY changes. Oh my heavens!
An online friend started her 21 day challenge while I was sick. She kept posting her journey on Instagram and every day I would read it. It became an obsession to watch for the posts to come through and her message was ALWAYS so inspiring and uplifting. I hadn't moved a muscle off my chair and already my brain was starting to "feel better!" Pretty powerful, really!
8 days ago I started my journey to get back in control of my physical self and I knew that my emotional and mental self would follow suit. I was 100% right. The journey has not be easy at ALL. Remember, the words "workout" or "Exercise" have not been muttered from my lips EVER. Like 40 years EVER! They still don't come out EASY. But that's okay. It's part of my journey. I thought I would share a little bit of my journey with you in the photos that I post on Instagram. I also made a little "Pennant" book for myself to keep in front of my face with little motivating facts and quotes.
You can follow along my journey HERE with Instagram. I *heart* Instagram!
You can bet this 21 Day Challenge will be plopped directly into a scrapbook!
To keep my journey STRONG, I wanted something that I could pick up when I'm feeling defeated or discouraged. Motivational quotes are always uplifiting to me. I put together this fun little Pennant book filled with a few of my favorite quotes and the This and That Epic Day product line was PERFECT to use with the inspirational quotes on the stickers. *LOVE*
I can only hope that my little journey inspires someone else along the way. Regardless, I'm glad you've always been a part of of my journey's and adventures. Lord knows my life is an adventure.

It’s a Gold Rush!
HANG ON! Be prepared for a Gold RUSH!
No, I didn't hit the lottery and I haven't joined the reality TV "finding Gold" shows… BUT… I've fallen in love with GOLD in my crafty space.
Crafting with gold tones is like the come back kid! I haven't used it much on my crafty projects and NOW the Gold embossing powder has a permanent space on my desk again. Just like the silver did for so long.
I went to my paper stash and had to "dig" for my Brushed Gold cardstock (102935). I could hear bells chiming as soon as I picked it up. *insert love music*
I started the creative process and giggled as I was making this card because it was just flowing right along. You know we all get tripped up on a project now and then. Not this one. I was literally GOLDEN!
What made this card even better was the This and That Epic Day Designer Series Paper. It may just be my new favorite *EVER*! YIKES.
Ready to recreate this card? See below for the supplies.
Supplies:
Stamps: Papillion Potpourri (123759), Kindness Matters (122902) Cardstock: Brushed Gold (102935), Vellum (101856), Pool Party, Crumb Cake Ink: VersaMark
