It's Hambo Time and I'm over the moon!

Head on over to the Hambo Hoedown Challenge blog and play along with this weeks image called "moonscape".For my card I used a previous freebie from Hambo called 'eye monster' If you enter this week you can play along with a free image next week-how cool is that?

It's my 13th wedding anniversary tomorrow and humour has definitely helped us make it through the rough times. So I made this for the hubbie (not going to spill the beans about the inside but I think he'll laugh :)
Thanks for stopping by!
(please mind the photo it was hard to get a good shot with all the shiny paper and glitter going on!!)

Hambo Hoedown SUMOOOOOOO card

Hambo stamps make me giggle! They are way to funny, and easy peasy to colour too. This week over at the Hambo Hoedown blog the challenge was to use chipboard and the Sumo digi by Hambo Stamps.
Here is my card using  the digi and one sentiment:

Do you know how to cover chipboard? Simply glue the wrong side of your chipboard ( I use tombow) and add your favourite paper (wrong side to the glue). Wait til it dries, then take an exacto knife and cut off the excess. If you want you can sand the edges for a finished look.

Bugaboo take 2

I wanted to make a second card entry for the challenge at Catch the Bug blog. This weeks challenge is to use polka dots and stripes.  This cutie patootie  ballerina digi can be found in the Bugaboo store.
I have used striped paper and a polka dot ribbon. I added some glitter to her and also added some to the flowers :)

Sorry about the dark picture. I didn't take it until it was dark outside so this is the best I could do :(
Thanks for looking! Have a great night.

Hang in there-Monkey Love!

I love Bugaboo stamps! Seriously they make my cards look great. Don't believe me? Check out the card I made for this weeks challenge- Dots and Stripes at the Catch the Bug blog:

Funky Elephant Birthday Card

The last time I used this cute elephant from Hambo Stamps, I had over 5 requests for my card-lol! I also won Queen of the Hoedown!! Woot woot :)  He is just so cute I thought I would use him again (well, that and I forgot to email Hambo after my entry so I didn't get the new stamp this week-boo!)
Anywho, the challenge this week at the Hambo Hoedown is to use bold colours and do some paper piecing. Bold colours are something I don't use a lot of, so I thought a fun birthday card would suit my paper pieced elephant for this challenge. Here is my bright card:

The elephant is paper pieced and his head is popped up off his body. I also paper pieced his hat with my polka dot border strip.

Since we have so many occasions in May (mother's day, anniversaries, birthdays etc) I would like to enter this also into Stamping Vacations Challenge : Special month-anything about May

Check back for more cards. I try and post daily and hope you find yourself inspired :)

Bugaboo-Catch the Bug Challenge Blog

This is my third entry into the Bugaboo challenge this week. Why so many? Have you seen their prizes?? You have about 3 days left to play, and you can enter 3 times, so hop on over for the details :)

I have a confession....I'm a slacker. I have sadly neglected my children's scrapbooking pages and their albums are a little bear. Okay, more than just a little. Hey, I'm a busy momma of 3 monkeys. I do put pictures and notes into the sleeves of my albums for down the road.
Anywho, this little digi from Bugaboo inspired me to scrap tonight. It will go really well with a picture I have of my son at 10 months (yes that was a little over 6 years ago-hey, I told you I was a slacker-teehee)

It's a 9x9 page but I will probably put it on a 12x12 sheet and add my journalling down the side. Ya know, down the road when I have more time-lol
Have a great night!

Your momma wears army boots!

We use to tease each other all the times as kids. In fact, we all have the same mother which made these "your momma" jokes even funnier. out of respect for my mom, who may read this one day, I won't go into any details. Just know we've had a few jokes over the years :) (Love ya mom)

 I made this card using a Bugaboo digi. They have a a few occupations to chose from and they are all adorable! I popped up the digi and the background paper using pop dots. I also faux stitched around the star, then sponged around the outside to add depth, making it stand out a bit more.

I would also like to enter this into Stamping Vacation's "name your own challenge', challenge. My name for this challenge would be to make a card for those who serve.
Have an awesome night :)
