ATS Wed Challenge - Embossing!

Today's ATS Wednesday Challenge is super fun and easy - just use embossing!  You can use a Cuttlebug (or other device) and dry emboss like I did or wet emboss, whatever you like. My "Celebrate" summer card features one of Sweet November's adorable new releases, Betsy!  She reminds me so much of my daughter and the way I did her hair when she was smaller :0)  She looks all ready for the 4th of July to me!

At the ATS Wed challenge, there will be two new challenges each month with a chance to win a fun prize each time! Make sure you use a stamp that is sold in the All That Scraps store if you want to be eligible to win!  CC's Designs and Sweet November stamps along with all the other companies that ATS carries gives you quite a selection to choose from. Good luck!

I used the adorable new Lily from Amy at Sweet November.  She's part of the new Tadpoles swim team! I cut up come fun summer themed paper to make a bookmark perfect for summer reading! That's all I do in my "spare" time lately so it seemed appropriate :0)

ATS Wed Challenge - Anything Goes!

Today's ATS Wednesday Challenge is a classic favorite - anything goes!  I pulled out an old favorite of the Sweet November mermaids - Pearl Tidepool!  I had an idea in my head for this fancy seascape but when flipping through a paper pad of mine I found this background and thought it was way better than anything I could fake ;0)

ATS Wed Challenge - Anything Goes!

Today's ATS Wednesday Challenge is a classic favorite - anything goes!  I pulled out my new Kraftin Kimmie stamp that I hadn't inked up yet (Snow White) and paired her with a fun AmyR sentiment "My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance".  This could be my motto, I swear, lol.  Doesn't Snow look fun as a sassy red head?

ATS Wed Challenge - A (Acetate) T (Torn) S (Simple)

Today's ATS Wednesday Challenge is a brand new one!  It's A.T.S.= A-Acetate T-Torn S-Simple.  I didn't have anything acetate at the moment and doing the torn thing upsets my anal retentive tendancies, so I went with simple!  I pulled out a new to me Kraftin Kimmie stamp that I've been dying to color up - Swan Princess!

As usual, the first ATS Wednesday Challenge for the month is Anything Goes!  I pulled out the ever adorable Sweet November Fairwees to make a graduation card for my friend.  It's not exactly traditional, but I thought Mia and Piper looked like they were having so much fun and really, that's what graduation is all about, lol!

ATS Wed Challenge - Sketch time!

This week at the ATS Wed Challenge we've got a simple, but easy to use sketch for you, you can check it out on the blog HERE.  I used the brand new Butterly Lula stamp along with all kinds of other butterflies.  I never really thought of myself as a "butterfly person" but then when I pulled out all the stuff I had with butterflies on it I realized that perhaps I was after all ;0)

My Craft Space (FINALLY!)

I know, I know, I've totally fallen off the face of the Earth over the last few months.  Between school, working full time and mommy/wife duties I've been pretty wiped.  The good news is that my Internship is over and I'm done with school, YAY!  I don't have a job yet but I'm at home with the little one until something comes up.

Now that I have extra brain power, will power and time I decided to finally put together my craft space!  I've collected pieces for it off and on for years and when we moved into our new house last February I finally had a space of my own...but no time, lol.

I painted it last week and organized it and got it all purdy this week.  I'm not ready to show the whole thing but it's like 80% done :0)  I went for a pink, black and white theme with some cupcake accents here and there, I'm SO happy at the results!  I'm happy to say that this wasn't expensive either, a lot of the accents I got on clearance, the pictures, too and I did all the painting myself.  Fabulous on a shoe string budget, lol.

I hope you like it so far.  I've got a little more to do over by where I keep my "office" with my computer and whatnot, but I'm thrilled with how it came out and hope that you enjoy seeing it!

ATS Wed Challenge - Anything Goes!

As usual, the first ATS Wednesday Challenge for the month is Anything Goes!  I used the super adorable Party Time Lucy for this thank you card I made for my Professor at school.  I know she's called 'Party Time' and all but I really like that she doesn't have to be for birthdays, I think she looks super cute on here!  I also was going for a more elegant look witht the Prima flowers and clean layout so I used an AmyR sentiment from her Elegant Greetings set.  My professor loved the card so it all came together well I guess :0)

Celebrate!!!

My supervisor for my Internship is having a birthday so I just HAD to pull out the brand new Birthday Lucy  stamp that came out at ATS this month, isn't she just too cute? I love her fun hair and little birthday hat.  I also broke out my AmyR "It's Your Birthday" set because the Celebrate sentiment fit perfectly on my SU oval and scalloped oval punch ;0)  All in all I'm pretty happy with the way it came together and I must say I totally love the color scheme on this paper pad.  Hope she enjoys it!
