Cool Hombre Excitement!

I am so excited today because today is my first post as the new DesignTeam Member over at Stamp Annie Thing. I was so excited to be asked to join...thanks Ann!

So for my first post as a Stamp Annie Thing DT member, I decided to use the One Cool Hombre stamp set. 

This is a 4 X 6 stamp set which is great for Cinco De Mayo, a fiesta party invite or in my case, to use it for the many, many photos of Mexico vacations.

I simply pulled out my copic markers to color this cute little guy using the bright colors in my paper as the color pallet and inspiration. The stamp set also comes with the some fun little borders which I used on the left side of my card, as well as several sentiments that go along with all the images. 

Now those Maracas...what a great little cut file you can find here. They added that little extra to my card. 

I finished off my card with a brad, some twine and some stickles. 

If you would like to purchase this stamp set or any others from Stamp Annie*Thing, click on the logo....

I wish all you moms out there a wonderful Mother's Day.

Here s the card I sent to my mom and mother in-law. 

I used the following Pertty Paper, Pretty Ribbons files:

Spring Garden

Layered Labels 1

Sentimental Spots 1

The doily is from a metal die from My Creative Time

Sentiment from My Pink Stamper.

Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Design Team Day!

Oh my goodness, I think spring has finally arrived in MN! I didn't think it was ever going to get here.

In addition to the nice weather, it's also Design Team day over at Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons.  Lisa has some great spring file sets and some awesome new digital papers in her store. I used some of them for my spring card today.

After I had everything pieced together, I added some glossy ascents to his rain boots, coat trim and his glasses.

I used the Rainy Day Critters, Scalloped Circles, and Layered Tags 1 cut files for this project.
I also used papers from the digital paper pack, Spring Fling. I just love that cloud print paper!

Please take time to stop by the PPPR blog to see the amazing projects the entire Design Team has to share with you today.

Time for another Die Cuttin' Diva challenge

Wow, the week flew by and it's time of another DCD challenge. This week we have a fun, yet challenging  sketch.

This is what I ended up with following the sketch.

I used the Yee Haw Cricut cart for my lil' cowboy and Fabulous Finds for the tags and hinges. 

The face is from Peachy Keen and sentiment is from My Pink Stamper.

I look forward to seeing your take on this weeks sketch.
