Happy Birthday Calypso Blog Hop!

Happy Birthday, Calypso!

Calypso is having a birthday today!  We are so excited to share with you a Surprise Birthday Blog Hop!!!  Every stop along the hop has a surprise birthday card or project for Calypso created by members of two Design Teams... 

Sentimental Sundays and Scribbles Designs.

Calypso keeps all of us so organized; is such an inspiration to all of us and also is right there with unfailing support and compassion for any of the team members.  

Her talents abound and we adore her!

Please join us in the (surprise)

Birthday Hop for Calypso 

and stop by her blog at the end to wish her Happiest of Birthdays! 
Happy Birthday, Calypso!
Here is my card for Calypso:

I stamped on some designer paper with a SU stamp set (just the flower stem).  Then I used a Peachy Keen face stamp to create the flower.  I added some punched clouds (SU cupcake punch), computer generated sentiment, and rhinestone.

Next head on over to 

Sam's blog for the next project!

Be sure to comment on the Birthday Hop post on one or both blogs 

Sentimental Sundays and Scribbles Designs.... 

one person will be randomly chosen (on October 8th) from all comments collected from both blogs to receive a prize in the mail.

Midway Post at Scribbles Designs! Pens, Pencils, Paper

We're midway through our Pens, Pencils, Paper Challenge at Scribbles Designs!  Here's another one from me for inspiration:

Image called Fountain Pen.  Inked with Copics. Some layered Kraft card stock and a ticket corner punch simplifies the focal point.  Stamp, linen thread, and heart punch (owl punch) are all from Stampin Up. 

Our challenges always last a month long, so you have 2 more weeks to get in your projects! Hope to see you there! 

New Challenge at Lia Stampz - Shabby Chic

We want to see your Shabby Chic projects this fortnight at Lia Stampz!

Here is my project:

The image is called Haley.  I colored her with Copics and texturized her with some grosgrain ribbon and colorless blender.  I sponged everything in Stampin Up crumb cake and bermuda bay inks.  I used some retired Stampin Up Christmas paper.  The burlap I bought from a seller on Etsy.  I punched out a snowflake from some bermuda bay card stock and added glitter and a pearl.  The Merry Christmas stamp is from Impression Obsession.

Can't wait to see what you guys create!

Also this month at Lia Stampz...

Whattya waiting for??? :) Come and play with us!
