Sneaky Peek #6

We're coming to the end of the Sneaky Peeks and although this set doesn't feature a bunny, Sprinkles or any penguins it sure is a lot of fun.  A whole bunch of cute speech bubbles with some great sayings to go with and a fab set of Cut Ups as well.  These were so easy to cut and stamp and I couldn't resist being a little silly with my card.  I used the Travellin' Man stamp again, but this time cut the luggage off the roof  for a change.  Now this sounds like my car!

Be sure to check out the Dancing in Pajama's blog for more great cards!

Sneaky Peek #5

Yea, another bunny and his one's going for a ride!  Hee hee, these bunnies never fail to make me smile!  Lots of bling on this one and Stickles on the rocket too.  Be sure to check out the Cat's Pajama's blog for all the details about this new release and to see more of the bunny in action!

Sneaky Peek #3

Eee, another bunny!  This was totally the release for me as I love, love, love the bunny.  This guy's heading out on the open road, ready for adventure.  Not sure how he squishes those ears in his car though! 
Still pretty much on a CAS roll, although this time I used my fave travel themed paper.  I'm thinking it needs something though, maybe some bling under the sentiment?  Can't go wrong with bling!

Sneaky Peek #2

It's time for another Sneaky Peek and this one's got claws!  This is my first Cat's Pajama's cat stamp, not sure why I don't have any yet, but now I must get more!  I went super CAS for this card so I could play along with the TCP Tuesday challenge, but added a touch of bling to this cool kitty for fun!

Jingle All the Way

I must be in a super CAS kind of mood cause both of my cards today are very clean and simple.  Hopefully there's enough bling on this one to keep your eyes busy though!  The challenge at ABC Christmas this week is J for Jingle and after combing through all my stamps I have nothing with jingle bells on.  Sigh, guess that means I better go shopping!

White on White - Creative Card Crew (I realize my sentiment is very red, not sure if this counts?)

Sneaky Peek #1

Squee!  I'm super excited to be a guest for the new release at Cat's Pajamas!  Today is our first Sneaky Peek, and the bunny is back chilling in the sun.  This laid back bun is doing what I wish I could be doing all through the dreary month of January - lucky rabbit!

Be sure to check out the Dancing in Pajamas blog or the Splitcoasters Sneaky Peek thread to get all the details about the new release.

Yee haw!

Well, it's been a great 4 months, but my time at Oozak is almost up. (wah, sniff!)  So without further moaning and groaning, here's my last card for Oozak, featuring this month's challenge - earthtones.  I used one of my brand new Sparkle Creations stamps - Cowboy Josh and some Simple Stories Take a hike paper.  I am loving the Sparkle stamps, they're so fun and I can't wait to grab some more!

Inspiration photo

Do you ever have a fantastic idea for a card in your head and then make a card that turns out just like your vision?  Well, this is not that card.  I don't know why this card was such a struggle but I can tell you several versions made their way into the bin before I was happy.  This card is for the second week of our inspiration photo challenge at ABC Christmas and here's the inspiration:

 And here's my card based on the brightly coloured wreath - love that little Meljen's mouse!

I scream for ice cream

Yep, we're definitely needing the ice cream around here - it's gone from a cold, wintery spring to full on summer in about 2 weeks.  We've been spending lost of time outside for fear it will disappear and get cold and snowy again!  I have managed to sneak a little time in at the craft table, inking up another of my new Whipper Snapper stamps.  A fairly simple card today, I've been stalking, oops sorry, inspired by Jen who combines CAS and super cute images on her cards.  Love them!

Whimsy Guest DT

Hey, I'm back for another kick at the can for the Whimsey guest DT spot.  I would really, really, really love to be a guest DT and it's late and I can't come up with anything more eloquent than that!  Here's my card using a sweet Wee stamps mermaid.  Not sure how well it shows up, but the bubbles have a glossy layer of liquid glass on them, it look really good IRL!

Spring flowers

Whew, two really quick posts tonight as I have to get ready for tomorrow and get myself to bed.  Our phone and internet went down this morning at 8:00am and didn't come back until almost 7:00pm.  Gah, you don't realize how much you use it till it's gone!
This card is for the Cat's Pajamas 'flower' challenge.  Obviously a big challenge for me as it's taken almost a month to come up with something!  I had to use my first and still fave bunny though - love him!

Bunnies - Brown Sugar (How apt, my fave animal!)
Perfect papers - Crafts 4 Eternity (I have 4)

Helpful bear

Yikes, sorry to be so late with this post - hubby joined Ancestry.com and between him and the kids on Minecraft, I haven't been near the computer.  I think I'm going to have to do some serious bribing to keep my place!
Anyway late as it is, here's my card for the ABC Challenge midweek reminder - Holiday Helpers.  This cute little bear is 'helping' to decorate the tree, and looks suspiciously like my boys when they try and decorate our place.

And now for something completely different...  Just a silly pic to make you smile -  my oldest boy goofing around with our dog.  He makes me shake my head everytime!

The elephant in the room...

OMG, I have been eyeballing Whipper Snapper stamps for so long, and I finally got around to ordering some.  Why oh why did I wait so long?  I love, love, love them, especially this elephant with his teeny balloon!  I used some fun Bobunny Surprise paper, twine (and yes, I know I used twine exactly the same way on my last card but it was perfect for this one!) and a CTMH sentiment.  FYI - the inside of the card reads "wondering what happened!"

Holiday helpers

Hey, it's a new week and a new challenge at ABC Christmas, and our challenge this week is Holiday Helpers.  The first thing that popped into my mind was elves, but I didn't have any elves, so here's a cute pup 'helping' by laying the table for Christmas dinner!  OK, it's a stretch but he's cute anyway!

EDITED TO ADD - I just realized that I'd listed a few challenges, but not linked up to them, duh!  Anyone else ever do that?

Challenges:
Sketch - Sketchbook Saturday
Tag It - Sparkles Christmas Challenge
Animal Antics - Sisterhood of Crafters
Anything Goes - Addicted to Stamps and More

A little stinker

I was sorting through my rather ridiculous stash of stamps the other day and realized that I have 4 different skunk stamps.  And I've been eyeballing this sweet set from There She Goes.  Is that too many skunks?  And here I thought I had a bunny addiction!
This skunk is from Your Next Stamp my sister got me for Christmas, but the sentiment is from another set I just bought with a skunk on.  Silly me, I threw out the package and now I have no idea what company it is!  The paper is MME Lime Twist I've been hoarding, and the skunk is 3D paper pieced.
