Totally Stamps Challenge #2: Fall/Thanksgiving

Hey all! Well we are almost done with Halloween here in Montana.  We had a BLAST tonight with Sasha and I will post pics soon.  I had the hardest time getting on Blogger today and for a little tonight, but figured out the problem and did a system restore on my computer and Voila! I am on Blogger.

Michelle on the Totally Stamps Blog gave us all a challenge to do a Fall/Thanksgiving project. Michelle is so great...she let's us make the call on whether it is a layout, card, anything we can think of as long as it goes with the theme for the challenge.

I decided to do a card! :) I have been liking doing my cards lately. I am usually a scrapbooker and a gift maker, but I really have been liking the whole card thing lately. :) I had bought an Inkadinkadoo stamp set last year at Michael's and was hoping to be able to use it. I got my chance on this card:

What I used: Cardstock from Recollections (Kraft) and Stampin' Up (brown), K&Co (Pearls), Chatterbox (brown brads), Autumn set from Inkadinkadoo, Fiskars (deckle) scissors, Nik Bantok (Brown) ink pad, Tim Holtz (Distress Ink), Ranger foam applicators, Studio G (Let's Celebrate) stamp.

Thanks for looking! :)

My Daddy's Card! :)

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY to all of the dads put there and the dads in your life! :) We had a pretty good day here at our home. Garth just relaxed all day (which he needs) and I played with Sasha outside and got some much needed housework done. I will tell you I will sleep like a baby tonight on my nice clean sheets! :)

I posted my BIA project that I was giving my dad for Father's Day. By the way, Garth got the box sets for DBZ and Naruto for his b-day (June 27th) and Father's Day. :)

Here is my dad's card!

This card is pretty thick because I used corkboard on it, just in case dad may need a coaster!

This is a close-up of the image I stamped. :) I used a Ranger Paint Dabber on a stamp. I did try Staz-on, but you couldn't even tell what the image was, so I used the Paint Dabber and it worked like a charm! :)

What I used: Bazzill cardstock, Quartet corkboard, Ranger Paint Dabber (espresso), stamp is called: Simple Pleasures (Tin Can Mail) by Inkadinkado.

Fairy Card....scrap project! :)

This is a card I created on a whim after a trip to Michael's. I bought quite a few stamps that day and one of the sets is this Inkadinkado set. I came back home and so badly wanted to play with it and my new Prismacolor colored pencils that I dropped everything and STAMPED! LOL! The neat thing is....Every piece of paper was in my scrap bins! :) What I used: Like I said ALL of the paper was from my scrap bins.
