Booglie EYES!

I've got a funny story for you today. Last week my dad and his wife came down for a visit and we went out to breakfast at Das Essenhaus in Middlebury (Indiana). They have a great bakery next to the restaurant, so after we ate, we decided to have a look around. WELL LOOK WHAT I FOUND... EYEBALL COOKIES! OMW! I had to get them!

So here is the funny part ~ there were two in the package and my son ate his right away. Megan decided to wait to have her cookie because it was pretty close to bedtime. So the next day, I decided to make this project because I could still take a picture of the cookie. When Megan got home from volleyball practice the next day, she asked what I made to go with the cookie ~ mind you, I never said a word about wanting to make something! That's just how well my daughter knows me! I will be making more of these cookies FOR SURE!

The card I made to go with the cookie uses the new Little Boogas set from Our Craft Lounge. I also used another new product ~ Pumpkin Delight Sparkly Fluff! Yes, we have some new colors ~ six actually! All of them will be available very soon!

Supplies from i{heart}papers: Stamps ~ Little Boogas (Our Craft Lounge); Sparkly Fluff ~ Pumpkin Delight (Coming Soon); Copic Markers (R81, E00, E33, E25, Y17, YR18, YG13); Ink ~ Palette; Nestabilities (Labels 17).

Happy Birthday from LAD!

Lizzie Anne has another new single out this month called Happy Birthday Cupcake! It's a fun little sentiment that can be used as the main image on a card or a quick sentiment to finish off a card. I thought it paired up well with this fun Birthday Bash paper by Imaginisce. I also add this fun Pleated Ribbon from Maya Road ~ too cool!

Lizzie Anne Sketch Day!

Today's project is based on this week's Lizzie Anne Sketch. I made a sweet little girly card with the pretty horse from the Treasured Trinket Monthly Mix. The paper is brand new from Cosmo Cricket (Pixielicious).

Hey ~ Great NEWS!!! Lizzie Anne is looking for a new Designer for the team. Think you have what it takes? Take a look HERE for all the details ~ deadline is October 1st!

More Vintage... REALLY?

WAIT...don't go ~ yes, you are on Kendra's blog. I know, I know...what has gotten into me lately with all the vintage? Well... when you have great stamps, you get inspired. This month it just happens to be with some beautiful vintage images.


But seriously, all kidding aside ~ I am really enjoying the new Treasured Trinkets Monthly Mix for September. I have to admit, I was a bit nervous when I saw it. However, once I started playing, I was hooked and will use again and again.

HELLO There!

Happy Labor Day to those of us in the U.S. Are you doing something fun today? We just have a quiet day planned.

Today's card features images from the newest Monthly Mix by Lizzie Anne Designs called Treasured Trinkets. I paired it up with some October Afternoon papers (Thrift Shop) ~ which in my opinion, is a perfect match.

Don't forget that the following sets will be on sale 35% off TODAY ONLY at Lizzie Anne Designs.

A Harvest of Memories Mix Set

It's Sunday and a long holiday weekend ~ that's what ROCKS!

On my project for today, I used the new Alphabet single stamp by Lizzie Anne Designs for the background for my letters. I punched them out and then used some American Crafts puffy letters for the sentiment ~ Easy Peasy!

CAS Vintage

I think Clean & Simple (CAS) paired up with the word Vintage is a contradiction in terms ~ what do you think? However, that's kind of how I do things. I'm totally NOT a vintage girl (which you already know) but it seems when I try to do that style, it turns out to be clean and simple with a vintage feel ~ so that's my new term CAS Vintage ~ LOL!

My card for today is based on the newest OCL weekly sketch challenge that begins today. I used the new Vintage Traveler set along with two older sets called Life is... & The Journey. These two scrapbooking sets work so perfectly with the OCL vintage sets. You probably can't see it from the photograph, but this card is super sparkly since I sprayed some Gold Shimmer Spray on it ~ kind of cool & way outside my comfort zone!

All righty then ~ it's your turn to go look at the OCL Sketch and come up with your own card. I can't wait to see it!

Oh & guess what? OCL has three new guest designers who started this week ~ Latrice Murphy, Lori McAree, and Mercy Kiren. A big OCL welcome to you girls!

Supplies from i{heart}papers: Stamps ~ Our Craft Lounge (Vintage Traveler, Life is, The Journey); Vintage Lace ~ Kaiser; Ink ~ Palette; Pattern Paper ~ October Afternoon (Thrift Shop); Spray Shimmer ~ Tsukineko (Gold).

Love & Laughter...

Wasn't it just Monday? Dang, these weeks just fly by! Well anyway ~ I was in the mood to play with something else last night, so I went digging around in my Unity Stamps drawer to see what struck my fancy. I found this adorable flower image from the March 2010 Store Kit called Adventures in Happiness. I get so many new things all the time, it's fun to pull out the older (and very neglected) images.

Now I'll be honest, if I could do this card over again, I would make the bottom border of pattern paper smaller & I would have stamped more flowers. Unfortunately, the pattern paper covering a mistake so I had to leave it up that high ~ LOL! If only you knew the million little things I cover up on my cards. I don't start over very often unless it is just horrible. I usually try pretty hard to make something happen with an image I've got colored. There ya go ~ now you know one of my little secrets!

Supplies from i{heart}papers: Stamps ~ Unity (Adventures in Happiness); Copic Markers ~ R81, R83, R85, YG13, YG25, YG11; Pattern Paper ~ My Minds Eye (Whirlybird Blossom); Ink ~ Palette (Burnt Umber); Embossing Folder ~ Quickuts (Polka Dots); Stickles ~ Cotton Candy.

Now I know my ABCs...

WOW ~ September 1st already! I'm not at all sure where the summer went, but here we are sending the kids back to school and getting ready for the busy fall season. So here's a card to go right along with that theme.

My card today uses a fun new single from Lizzie Anne Designs simply called Alphabet. I love this because you can use so many different ways. I used it as a background on my main image (which I love how it came through on the colored apple) and I used it on my scallop border and mat. Pretty cool huh?

Lizzie Anne also has another single out today called Birthday Cupcake ~ i'll have a sample to show you with that in a few days.
