Happy First Day of fall everyone! Well, tomorrow anyway! LOL I had big plans for 2 great cards using digi stamps from Lindsay's Stamp Stuff this week - one to say goodbye to summer and one to welcome the fall, but my printer and programs had other ideas...grrr! On top of that, I have been sick with a cold this week, and my patience is wearing a little thin, so unfortunately, I have no new projects for today, but I do want to tell you about the First Day of Fall Sale at Mygrafico! There is a 40% off sale for the whole day on September 23rd!!! How cool is that? Even though I have no new project, I thought maybe I would link back to a favorite project from last year. I just love the Creepy Crows set and used it on THIS project. I hope you like it too! Hopefully I can get my technical difficulties worked out, get rid of this cold and post my cards soon. Please go check out the rest of the DT girls' blogs and see what they have created. Start with Lindsay at Thefrugalcrafter's Weblog, then check out the rest! Happy Fall Everyone!

A Quick Halloween Card and a Sale!
Lindsay's Stamp Stuff is having a September Sale!!! 30% off everything in her Mygrafico shop through Friday! I was looking for inspiration so I went over to 2 Sketches 4 You and found a great sketch to get me rolling. I started with a stamp from Lindsay's Stamp Stuff (creepy crow set). Once I printed it, I die cut it with my scalloped nesties and distressed it with Tim Holtz faded jeans ink. I stamped "eek!" (studio g) on the journaling lines, then I plopped a dollop of Stickles all around it. I decided to use a black card stock base and a bright orange coordination's panel. They have sparkly paper now and it is super cool! Click the image and I think you can really see it! I cut a strip of Heidi Grace paper for the middle and stamped the spider (studio g) and added a few self sticking gems to give it a little more bling. Easy Peasy! Thanks for stopping by! Check out Lindsay's new freebie this week and see what her fabulous Design Team has created. See you again soon and don't forget about the sale...

It's all Fun and Games until somebody loses an EYElet!
Are you tired of my ATC swaps yet? LOL I couldn't resist this one, just because of the name! This swap required us to use at least one eyelet, so, I HAD to use it on an eye! I thought of this cute owl stamp I had (studio g) and decided to use it. I stamped it with Distress Ink, distressed it with more distress ink, added my eyelet and cut it out. I distressed the base with more distress ink (sorry Lindsay!), added the swirl (studio g) and glued on the owl. I hadn't done many swaps this summer and I seem to be making up for lost time! It's always so much fun to get everyone's creations back in the mail. Anyway, just thought I'd share. Have a wonderful day, and keep an eyelet out for more ATCs!

Tea Time
Happy Thursday, Everyone! Don't you just love to unwind with a nice cup of tea? I do! So for today, while sipping a cup of blueberry tea, I created another set of ATCs . I made these for another Stamp Shack Swap- this one we were challenged to use a digi stamp on our projects. I used a stamp from LINDSAY'S STAMP STUFF (of course!) I used one of the teacups from the TEARIFFIC STAMPS set for my focal point. I printed it on patterned paper and cut it out. I embossed a white panel of paper and inked it up with some coordinating ink. I then stamped a (TPC) sentiment and added a prima flower with a brad. I attached the teacup and flower with dimensional tape to give it, well, dimension. LOL These were super fun and easy to make. Check out Lindsay's blog to see what she and the others have created for you this week! Happy Digi Stamping!!!!
This project qualifies for the following challenges:
Drunken Stampers - Serenity Now
Little Paper Shop Blog - Clean and Simple
A Pocket Full of Posies - Floral Fantasy

I Wish I were a Fish!
With all the HOT weather we have been having this past week here in Maine, I do wish I were a fish! I made these ATCs for a Stamp Shack swap. I used Tim Holtz Distress Inks for the back ground. I used a masking technique on these, something I had never tried before! Can you believe that??? It was super fun and so easy to do. The grass stamp is by Stampscapes and the others are studio g. I also added a bit of Rock Candy Distress Stickles in the bubbles, just for fun!

TGIF Sale at MYGRAFICO!
Hurry on over to mygrafico. This fantastic sale is today only, so don't miss out - click HERE to check out all the designs - all 40% off!!!I made this card with some leftover bo bunny and bazzill papers from a card I posted a couple of weeks ago and the crow from Lindsay's CREEPY CROW SET at mygrafico. I have used this set many times, and NOT always for Halloween! Just think about printing stamps in pretty colors instead of black. Think about word plays - I used the CROW TREE image from this set on a bag decoration for my hubby's 50th birthday gift and added the sentiment "Happy Birthday, you Old Crow!" Sorry, I didn't get any pics of that one...but that's another story...So, take a few minutes to shop the mygrafico sale and have fun!

It's a Boy
Congratulations, Tamara!!!! LINDSAY'S STAMP STUFF Design Team Member, Tamara, is expecting a baby boy any moment!!! I made this week's card in celebration of her new arrival. I used Lindsay's NEW digital paper SWEET STITCHES, the rattle from her BABIES AND BOWS set, and a sentiment from studio g. I got this super layout sketch from the Sketch and Stash Challenge Blog. I used these cute felt flowers from my forgotten stash, along with some tiny brown buttons. I embossed a sparkly blue panel of paper with my cuttle bug for some added fun. :) I put a second panel of the SWEET STITCHES paper with a stamped sentiment on a cream scrap (inkadinkado) on the inside of the card. Don't forget, Lindsay will have a freebie, the Design Team will have some fabulous inspiration for you, and even though she isn't posting today, stop by Tamara's Blog and leave her a happy note and some well wishes to make her day!Lindsay Weirich (Owner and Stamp Designer)
