A ton of stuff to share today...grab a cup of java and sit for a spell...

I'm such a stamping geek...when I saw this Inkadinkado Inspiration Cameo, I literally gasped...that is how much I adore Cameos/Silhouettes.

I used my Lily Bee Picket Fence papers...FAB stuff....

I was inspired by Laura's sketch...although I'm too late to link up...I loved the sketch and still wanted to play:)

Today's Thursday Challenge on 365 Cards is:

Spring Break!

Use the sun, sand, and surf to inspire you.

I don't know about you but sun, sand, and surf all equal surfboards and surfer dudes but since I don't have a surfer dude stamp it's gotta be a hula girl..lol. What better Basic Grey to use than Hang 10?!!! Sheesh, how ironic that almost a year ago I posted this Surf's Up card using the same Basic Grey paper and inkadinkado stamp??!!!

I don't think that I'll ever tire of the whole tropical/surfer theme...I paper pieced the surfboards....went through 6 different sheets of the {now retired} Hang 10 paper...note to self to let 'd' know about that since he's getting this very valuable BG card..lol...I'll have to translate it to techie-ness since that's his dealio, not basic grey {gasp!}.

So glad that today is Thursday which means that tomorrow is Friday!! woot woot! I've been really enjoying all your comments these days...you guys crack me up! I so enjoy this whole blogging thing...

Be sure to check out 365 Cards next week...it's Scor-it week...we each received a Scor-it mini so we'll be overflowing with great cards/projects!

Birthday Aloha!

This is another take on my Inkadinkado Aloha stamp. I used the same papers but this time I substituted the stitching for the twill...Here's my original card:

Surfs Up!

What a nice addition the stitching makes...I have seriously gotten my $$ worth out of my Janome machine. Now I just need to break open all the Copic markers that I've been collecting...

Anyways, I was able to score 2 more sets of the Basic Grey Hang 10 packs. I really love that paper...especially to use the Inkadinkado stamp with. It reminds me that I need to ink up my Do the Hula Set....something that I bought because of tashers Splitcoaststampers gallery {here's her blog}.

What can I say, I'm easily enabled...

Ever feel Frazzled?

Ever feel frazzled? I made this card for a lovely friend who always encourages/prays for me and I wanted to encourage her. As far as I know, she doesn't wear curlers and she's no chicken. I do know she has a busy life but a good one with lots of blessings. This card was fun to make...the chicken "lady" is from Inkadinkado, the feather duster is a retired SU Chores Chart. I used a white cs base with pink plaid DP, I found some scraps of deeper pink that almost matched the SU brads used as curlers. I added a little hair around them. The chicks are from RubberStampingFun........which ships all stamps free! This saying: Cleaning the house with kids about...is like stapling Jello to a tree! is too funny. Happy Cleaning..........and hang in there, it gets better.

When the Shoe Fits...

I was RAK'd this wonderful Inkadinkado shoe stamp (thanks SCS **flutterbug**). It was brand new and just screaming to be inked it up with VersaFine Onyx Black. Do you notice the crystal bling?

Anyone scrolling through my blog can see that I'm a HUGE fan of the Fabriano note cards. Clean and Simple...CAS....that's a new Splitcoaststamper keyword that I finally remembered to use when I uploaded this into my Splitcoaststamper gallery.

If the shoe fits...

buy all 4 of them!

I'm making an effort to ink up stamps that are lonely and haven't seen the light of day. These cards use Dawn Houser's line of stamps ala Inkadinkado. The set is named "Fancy Feet"....love the images. I think they are perfect with Onyx Black ink on the Fabriano's....I promise to do "busy" cards this weekend. I have been on the "Clean & Crisp" kick lately...
