Makeup For The Weekend #12

Hey all and HAPPY FRIDAY! TGIF for sure! I had gotten so use to sleeping in a little late and what not...and now with my kids back in school...well...it messed up my routine...LOL! It's actually drained me to the point where I almost forgot to post this...even from last night when I could have auto-posted...lol. I'm drained as I go in the morning to drop the kids off...then out at 11 again to take Lizzie to kinder...then out at 2 again to pick up LV & Ozzy and then 2:30 to pick up Lizzie. I can't wait until Lizzie is in full day. Oh well...I can't home school them. No wait...THAT would actually kill me! So Thank GOD for school. HAHAHA! Anywho...today is Paper Makeup, Makeup For The Weekend challenge! YAY! For today, the challenge is to make a card or project with a birthday theme in honor of Tina's birthday on Sunday! HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY TINA! :D So I made this top note box. Inside it's empty as I'm out of candy...YIKES...but who wouldn't want to get a little present like this with some sweet treats inside? LOL! I used Birthday Lauren for this treat box. Ok...I'm exhausted and headed to the couch to nap...I'll catch you guys later! Hope to see you tomorrow for JUGs Saturday challenge! Hope you enjoyed yesterday's blog hop and were able to collect your letters along the way and purchased some rubbah!

Have a great weekend!

Paper Makeup Stamps Blog Hop and Release Day!! YAY!

Well hello peeps and welcome to the Paper Makeup Stamps Blog Hop! It's NOT the 7th for all you PMS vets...it's the 14th...lol...but that still means it's time for another Paper Makeup Stamps blog hop of new releases! The release for this month had to be pushed back a bit for X reason...but it is SO worth the wait! Have you enjoyed the sneak peeks so far? I know I have! :D

If you have come here from Christi T.'s blog, you are on the right track. If you haven't come from her blog, then please start at the PMS blog and then continue the hop and pick up your letters along the way that will spell out a special phrase that will get you a discount on the new release! How fun is that? Keep on reading and you'll find my letter below! ;)

I have Cookie Monster to share with you today. Now tell me...who can't resist a cookie nabbing monster? He is MY kind of monster! LOL! I'm a cookie freak, especially snickerdoodles! ZOMG I'm drooling just thinking of them...HAHAHAHA! Today I made both a card AND a 3D item...a milk carton! What goes great with cookies? DUH...MILK! LOL! I saw this idea somewhere...to combine the whole cookie and milk concept...but I can NOT remember, for the life of me, where and it's killing me...but let me tell you...it left a great impression for me to wanna CASE it! I bought the milk carton & carry case tutorial for this project from Becky at Inking Idaho and I LOVE it! I bought it a while back and just managed to make something worthy from it! Inside the milk carton, I packaged up a baggie of cookie mix (sugar cookie) and then added some chocolate melts. When I make sugar cookies...right before they're done...I top each center with a chocolate melt. After I got done with this project...I baked some cookies...chocolate chip! :P I'm sorry if you're drooling...it's not MY fault! Blame Katie for having me to use Cookie Monster for the hop...LMBO! Also...after seeing what the other girls have made using Cookie Monster...now I see mine and they look like phlegm and potato...seriously! Tuesday while doing some blog rounds it hit me. I had one of those LMAO moments that even scared the hubster. Please feel free to laugh...I know I did...and LOUD! I even spewed my work space and keyboard with a large mouthful of coffee!

Ok...so I'll let you go on your way down the PMS hop! Today I have for you the letter

brought to you by...lol...sorry...I had a Sesame Street flashback with the whole cookie monster and a letter...lol. BTW...Cookie Monster has always been my fave next to Elmo...so much I used a cookie monster quote for the sentiment...computer generated...and now he's my favorite next to Caliope. Caliope still has my heart though. :D Now head on over to Lisa M.'s blog to see what she has in store for you! Whatever it is...I can bet it's AMAZING!

We hope to see you tonight at the release party...dress comfy...no casual wear needed! It starts at 8:00 pm CST in the PMS forum. Hope to see you there!

Feel like shopping for any of these stamps shown since Monday? Go HERE after 8PM CST and grab a few! Make sure to use your discount code formed by the letters you've collected! ;)

Paper Makeup Stamps SNEAK PEEK..."Word Art"

Hey...and welcome to my second sneak peek for Paper Makeup Stamps! Today we have some word art to show ya!

I decided to go all CAS for this peek! I don't know why...but I like CAS Valentine cards. All I did was stamp the word art, layer it with a heart from the set Hugs & Kisses also releasing on the 14th..., and used a ruler to make the line border with a MarkIt pen and added some bling in the corner! Easy peasy with a BOOM BOOM POW kick no? LOL! Alright...I don't have too much chatter today...surprise surprise. Feeling just a bit burnt out! Hope you enjoyed the past peeks by both myself AND the Paper Makeup Artists!

Here are the gals showing you some stuff today!

Tuesday Morning Sketches Challenge #28

Hello all and welcome to another week of Tuesday Morning Sketches challenge! Like I mentioned yesterday...this time it's not a sketch...but a fun twist to the challenge! Today we have a recipe! First off...this weeks sponsor is Sweet & Sassy Stamps! Now...the recipe is to make a project using "Buttons & Bows"! FUN...I love buttons but rarely use them as I feel the "need" to hoard them...lol.

For this challenge I made 2 cards! For the first card I used the digi set Valentine Sentiments and All My Heart for the second card! For both cards I decided to go a little CAS (clean and simple) or at least in my eyes they're CAS. I am having SO MUCH FUN making Valentine cards! I'm gonna have to make a list of who to give these to because I don't usually send out Valentines. The only ones who get them are my kids and my hubby. Hmmmm...lol! Maybe I should just try more "generic" to have on hand for any occasion.

Now just because...I wanted to share my little crafting place. I cleaned it up after making card #2 and decided to take a picture. I was feeling a bit energetic (must have been the 2 cups of coffee and the Coke I had) and said why not. It's not much...but it's my little temple with all the company I need...my friends inside my box I call the computer! :D Anywho...hope to see you play along at Tuesday Morning Sketches! Have an awesome day! See you tomorrow? I'll be having another Paper Makeup Stamps sneak peek! ;)

Paper Makeup Stamps SNEAK PEEK..."Love Day"

Hello all and welcome to day one of the sneak peeks for Paper Makeup Stamps! All I have to say before hand is...you are going to love this release! Such beautiful fairies, fun Moody and Monsters, amazing word art... I tell ya...they are AWESOME! AND all in time for Valentines too!

For sneak peek day 1 I have the pleasure of introducing you to Isabella the Beautiful Day Fairy! I made this fairy a little alternative since I'm a little alternative myself! She has on a black leather corset over her pretty silk red dress...tee hee! I think this is perfect for my hubby for either Valentine or our 12 year anniversary one week after V-Day! Make sure to check out the other girls showing you peeks! Have fun checking the peeks out!
