Loonie Stampers Challenge #120


This weeks pick comes from the lovely Maria and she wants us to make Christmas gift tags. What a great Challenge! Not only are they entirely too much fun to make it helps us all get a jump on Christmas "to do's"

I actually intend to give this tag ensemble to one of McKayla's Teachers at school as part of her Gift!

haha I am such a loser...I arranged them in a Christmas tree formation, This is why I really should go to sleep sooner then 3 AM

This tag in particular is my absolute favorite! I used little Bella Dots to make the Berries, to cute!

and this is the little bag I out them in

Loonie Stampers Challenge #119




pockets! How fun is that...this is my interpretation of a pocket on a card....

I figured a card with snowflakes on it was appropriate since we have been dumped on for the last few days. I hate winter for only the simple fact of driving. People in this crazy city still drive like it is July. Hello people, 4x4 is no the cure all for snow and ice.

Anyway, lets go see what the ladies are up to...

Loonie Challenge Catch Up #2

yup! ONE stinkin layer!
.... and I actually like the simplicity of it.


Thanks for tuning in...late. Hope everyone is staying warm out there!

Loonie Challenge Catch Up #1


After solving my technical difficulties (I was able to borrow Camera Equipment from my great photog friend Justin) I can now catch up on the loonie challenges!

First up was Char;s Challenge to use doilies, which I didn't have so I created a doilies look with my snowflake stamped edge of this cookie bag tag. I also surrounded it with lace, which was actually given to all us Loonie Girls by Char on our Loonie Getaway last July.


I actually had an order for 16 of these cute little bags, fun and easy to make!

Loonie Stampers Challenge #116


Well it is my week to pick some colors!
Since Winter is upon (or will be) I want to stay reminded of spring so
I went with some bright cheery colors!


This is a card I made for a new friends' birthday. She is one of my Co-workers girlfriends and I she is so fabulous I thought she needed a fabulous Birthday Card.

I had a lot of fun ditching the patterned paper and keeping it simple with some colored polka dots, I mean, how can you go wrong with dots, right?

I layers some flowers made of felt that I cut using my papertrey dies. thank goodness with felt I dont have to throw my dies against the wall, right Wendy?!


Lets go see what the ladies made, y'all know that they love multiple
colors especially new leaf...haha

Loonie Stampers Challenge #115


Wendy has us all thinking about a hot vacation. Let me tell you that sounds REALLY good about now. But since I can't i will just have to pretend that us loonies are kicking back on a beach somewhere drinking beergiritas!!


It is kinda hard to read in the picture but the sentiment says "Good friends, Good Books. This is the ideal life. ~ Mark Twain" and then on the inside I wrote ... and a little vacation doesn't hurt either. this is for a friend of mine that is taking a cruise with some of her friends. I am begging her to tuck me into a suitcase but still no luck!

Thanks for stopping by... hope you go check out the girls schtuff!

Loonie Stampers Challenge #114


Ok, so this week with Maria's colors I had to cheat a teeny tiny bit. I was going to order the New Linen color from papertrey but my PayPal wouldn't let me use anything but credit card which i dont have. This has happened to me a few times but only on PTI, weird!

Anywho, I used some Stampin Up Kraft taffeta ribbon as my New Linen substitute and I think it works. I also used one of their new embossing folders and I have to say I am so in love with how crisp the embossing looks compared to my previously beloved cuttlebug folders.



Well I can't wait to go see the goods from the other loonies.
Do you think anyone cheated this week?

Here is the girls playing in the leaves, What kid doesn't enjoy that?


My mischievous little devil, McKenzie.
Looks like she is plotting something right now!

Loonie Stampers Challenge #111


Well Char wanted us to go crazy with buttons. I am crazy for sure but not with buttons. So the first card I was almost done and realized "how and I going to incorporate buttons with this?" So I used some of my SU buttons. But that wasn't good enough so I made another card. Plus I had done this card a few weeks back that would have been perfect for this challenge as well.


This was the next card that I made with my brand new SU Embossing folder (love them)


I tried to do a close up so you could see that I sprayed glittery schtuff on the whole card but I dont know if you can really see it.


After the crazy week I have had of ups and downs it sure was gooooooooood to get in my room and make some cards. Thank god for the LSC! Now go see how crazy the loonies are this week..ok!

Loonie Stampers Challenge #110


So it was my week to pick the challenge and I went with this one for one reason. It never seems to fail that when I need a birthday card for a toddler (and usually in a hurry) I never have any. SO this was the perfect opportunity to make one.


I mean really, who doesn't love cupcakes, yum!

Loonie Stampers Challenge #109


Wendy picked our challenge this week and I was singing a happy tune as soon as I took a peek at the colours. I LOVE these colors together and to add the natural vintage-y look by distressing it...Good job Wendy!


and yes I cheated...I added green but for this Bella image I HAD to, right? right!

Loonie Stampers challenege #107 - rainbows


Today Dee selected for us to use rainbows and at first I thought she meant to use the colors of the rainbow, but she meant actual rainbows so please ignore the flower in the color map above. haha that was my blonde moment for the week.


But I did catch that mistake BEFORE I made my card so I thought I would dig out some buttons (turns out I have hundreds laying around) and used them in my own version of a rainbow.

thanks for checking out y card today and dont forget to see what bright sunshiny rainbows the girls have posted :)

Loonie Stampers Challenege #106


This week I cheated. Ok so I just wanted to admit that right up front and get it out of the way. We are "supposed" to be using fabric and I used felt. I just couldn't help it. I finally got my wonderful papertrey stuff and I HAD to try out the bookmark die with the felt. So I made this for my friend (I don't know if she will get much use out of it because she is one of those 'read the whole book the same day' kinda girls)



Anyway, even though I cheated, I adorned my bookmark with a great image colored with prismas of course! Now lets go see if I am not alone in the cheating department shall we?!
