IvaRai's Scrappy Blog

I know I’m such a bad blogger.  Summer is here and during the first part of it I was in Washington state visiting family at the beach.  We had a wonderful time and it only did the coastal rain once.  Loved just being close to the beach, and back where we lived before we moved.

For this card I used Sweet Stamp Shop’s newest release stamp plus some more.  I love how cute this card turned out.  It is very simple and would be very easy to recreate.

Supplies:
Cardstock
Doodlebug twine
Stamps: Sweet Stamp Shop “Koala”, “Too Hip”, and “Stinky Skunk”
punch
copics
wink of stella

I even made a video showing how I made the card:

I love these challenges!  First off you have almost an entire month to get them done.  You get extra points for using the image they give you.  I’m enjoying printing pictures and coloring them too.  So much so my wonderful husband and I went on the hunt for a wireless laser printer!  We did find one I have yet to set it up though.. (my goal for the day).  I even used my favorite stamp company Sweet Stamp Shop!

Anyways onto the Challenge!

Supplies:
card size 5×5
paper: Fancy Pants Designs “Be You” & cardstock
stamps: Sweet Stamp Shop “Happy Birthday”
extras: copics, foam tape, sequins

EKK… I won last month’s Royal Challenge… Although I kind of won because I was the only one who joined in all the fun.  This package came to me in the mail and I was super excited.  I got all kinds of goodies.  Some I’m not even sure what I going to do with them. Check out The Royal Castle Shoppe.  This is where I’ve purchased my sequins from that I’ve been using in my shaker cards.

This is what I won!!!!

Sorry my blog posting is not normal by any means.  I just don’t have the motivation right now to really sit down and so something.  I’m going to start getting back into the card challenges that I do follow.  This is truly the time of year that I would just rather sit around watching movies.  I go on a trip to Oregon this June and I’m super excited about it!  It is always fun seeing family and friends!

This is something I normally don’t do.  The Scrapbooking Queen has a challenge page and this challenge was to use the image she gave and create something with it.  The image is this super cute pony name apple jack.  I do like how my card turned out.

Supplies:
Card size: 5×5″
Paper: plain card stock, bella blvd
Stamps: Elegant Sentiments from Sweet Stamp Shop and an online image (pony)
extras: pop dots, hearts, sequins, copic
Challenge: The Scrapbooking Queen Royal Challenge #5

What can I say?  I just really love Sweet Stamp Shop’s stamp sets!  This is a layout that I did while at a retreat.  I’ve not figured out how to add way more to each layout but I’m slowly getting there.  Baby steps with everything!

Supplies
Stamps: Sweet Stamp Shop “Emotions” & “Hedgehog Kisses” , Impression Obsession “You Are Amazing”
Project Life… (I don’t remember what kit I used )

*I’m still trying to find the best way to take pictures of a full 12×12
