SBS Birthday Celebration! ~My Day 1~

We want to show you all how wonderfully fun SBS is! Check out the SBS blog to see the creations, contests, and prizes being offered!

This is what SBS means to me:

Simply B Stamps Rocks! I remember when I first started scrapbooking a few years ago, I started looking in to stamps to use in my projects. I found a few stamp companies that I liked but none stood out to me or felt more "me" than SBS. The images from SBS are fresh and funky, with a dark twist that speaks to my personality perfectly. SBS has images that are wonderful for any occasion and often bring humor into your projects. I chose to use the Valentine Emo Line for my SBS Birthday celebration projects because they embody the joyful spirit I love so much from SBS. I hope that I have shown the versatility SBS images have and that everyone enjoys the Celebration!

Now as this is a celebration month we are giving away prizes all month long!

Today we are giving away the entire Valentine Emos Celina has used, as well as any other complete EMO line in digi! Whoohoo!

How do you win such a prize?

Here are the details:

Using ANY image SBS or any other create your best Valentine project using the following colors:

Red
Pink
White
Black
Turquoise
Skin tones are also allowed as well as different hair tones; Blonde, brown, black...but your main colors must be the above mentioned!

You have until June 30th to upload your cards. Winners will be announced July 4th.

As I mentioned above, I chose the Valentine Emo line to showcase; and here is my first creation:

This is Cherub Christian. He's probably wondering why he's in this get-up... Lol.

This is the card with its matching envelope.

And this is the back of the card. The sentiment is: Age is Like Underwear... It Creeps Up On You!

 

I hope you enjoyed today's creation; come back tomorrow for another one! And don't forget to visit the Guest Designer for this month, Carrie, who is also showcasing this week!

Simply Challenged - February 26 - No Lines!

Hello, all! The February 26th Challenge for SCC is another fabulously fun one! The technique for this challenge is one I had never used before and I was amazed at how much fun it was to use! I really like the look it gives. I hope you will all want to participate and try this!

The challenge is to use "no lines" in your image. For those of you who use digis, all you have to do is convert the image into a lighter color when printing. For those of you who use stamps, all you have to do is stamp the image in a neutral color such as light gray or beige. The lines will then disappear as you color. Sounds fun, right?!

Here is the card I made using this technique:

Birthday Princess Rio!

Here is what I created with the Betty 4's. I only got to do a couple of cards this time around but I hope to make more using these awesome stamps in the future.

Sending Hugs & Kisses Card. This stamp is Mail Lady Betty. She's busy delivering love letters and RAK's!

Supplies: papers from Echo Park, stickers from Echo Park, cardstock, and Copics.

Happy Birthday Card. This is Birthday Betty. She's ready for a party and is wishing the birthday boy-or-girl has a fantastic birthday!

Supplies: papers and cardstock from stash, Prima bling, Cricut Expression, scalloped border punch, and Copics.

Punky Scraps Challenge 48 ~ Picky! Picky!

Hello, all! This post is a couple of days late and I am very sorry for it. Life's little interruptions are always unexpected and I've had my share of them lately. But I wanted to make sure I did not miss even one of my DT assignments, so I stuck it through until I completed this little birthday card for the Punky Scraps Challenge 48.

Every month one of the DT's each choose something for the Get Picky Challenge. This month's "Get Picky" picks are:

Amy - Anything brown
Nat - use 5 different patterned papers
Elin - use splashes of paint
Mandy - 5 lines of journaling
Cheryl - Tulle/Mesh/Burlap
Sara - Butterflies
Kim - Denim

Birthday Card. Out of the Get Picky picks, I used brown, 5 different patterned papers (from Echo Park's This & That Charming Collection), splashes of paint, burlap, and denim (I cheated and colored the little guys pants a denim color). The stamp is from The Greeting Farm and colored with Copics.

Monochromatic Monday 3-14-2011

Hello, all! And welcome to another Monochromatic Monday. Today I have a layout I made to go with the Monochrome Challenge's Week 2 - Bright Yellow with the twist of lots of flowers. While I was looking for photos to go with this color, I came upon these and the yellow in the cake stuck with me. This is my eldest daughter on her 17th birthday and I thought how cheery the color and occasion were. I also created this one to enter in the Scraplift 101 Challenge - lift of Daddy Time by Akentuckygal.

17th layout. Yellow is a difficult color for me but I really loved how these yellows came together. The ribbon was something I found in my stash and thought would be perfect for this. I used Yellow Stickles, some Prima flowers, my Cricut Expression, and some vinyl Thickers.
