There are four stamp sets in Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn, 12 x 12 paper, a cd pack, a card making kit and so many more goodies all of which you can purchase together as a bundle or individually.

Hope you Birthday is a Blast

Good Morning!!! I have a cute There She Goes card for you today. I made it with the new Out of this World set. I stamped the cute little monster dude (or in this case dudette) and colored with copics. My dp is from a sample pack and of course I do not remember the name of it. If I was to guess I think it was October Afternoon Detours and I finished things off with a big fun bow and prima flower. Have a terrific weekend!!! I will be back next week with some awesome new previews!!!!

Good Times!!

Hi!! I wanted to bring you a cute card I made this week from my There She Goes set called Good Times. Another masculine colored card today. No particular reason I just seem to be in that kind of mood. I stamped my image onto PTI cardstock and colored with copics. My patterened paper is from a SU Prints Pack and my ribbon is Kiwi Kiss from SU also. I added a few silver brads from Michaels for alittle bit of decoration and unfortunately you cant see it in this picture but my sentiment is stamped onto the polka dotted paper in the corner. So yea...except for that little tiny cute bow this card just screams male all the way around!!!

Hope you like it. I am off to do some cooking for Passover. Have a great day!!

Round and Around

Another fun challenge at There She Goes Stamps and this weeks challenge is brought to you by moi!! I am challenging all of you to create a circle or oval card. No right angles at all. For my card today I used the newly released set called Out of This World. I used four images plus a sentiment to make this. There are  really endless possibilities with this adorable set!!! After stamping out my scenario I colored with copics and added some glitter with my spica pen to the stars. Now I am looking at my picture and I am noticing that my sentiment is forcing my circle to one side. How funny!! I sure hope you will play along with us this week. Here are all the deets:
