2009-01-13T00:01:00.001-05:00

Happy Tuesday, you Party Animals! LOL!!! Well, guess who's in the house!!! Whiff of Joy stamps arrived at Treehouse Stamps yesterday! OMG! They are SUPER cute!!! I love them!

I decided to use this adorable mouse carrying a cupcake on my moms birthday card... her birthday is this Friday! :) I used the Treehouse Copic kits to color in the main image. The beautiful decor paper is from basic grey and is called bittersweet. I'm now carrying it over at Treehouse Stamps. I added pink liquid pearls under the sentiment. There are dimensionals behind the mouse and sentiment. I've listed the products used in this card below with links to them!! :) I hope you like today's card!

Happy Birthday Chipboard Card...

2009-01-12T00:01:00.000-05:00

Happy Monday, Friends! I hope you had a lovely weekend. I needed a birthday card for this week and thought I'd do something a little different. :) So, I pulled out my chipboard alphabet stickers, used some left over paper from yesterdays card... used a little paper ribbon... and some buttons from new collection we are carrying at Treehouse Stamps. :)

I used Versamark Dazzle (Champagne) and clear embossing powder to emboss the flowers in the background! I added all of my chipboard letters. Then I decided it needed a little fancy ribbon... so I pulled out the new paper ribbon we are carrying now and the buttons and blooms (rouge) that is also new at Treehouse Stamps. What a super fast and easy card!! Well, I'm going to go relax with Stephen before heading to bed tonight! Have a wonderful MONDAY!!!

Hugs,

Ashley

Cute, cute, cute set!!!!!! I'd love to win it, but I never win anything. I don't normally make resolutions, but this year I plan to be more eco-friendly. I figure it couldn't hurt me or the environment to take an extra minute to think about how my actions effect the world around me both big and small

Shannon... please email me at: ashleyscreativecorner@hotmail.com with your snail mail address!! :)

First Kiss... My card for the LSC Challenge Today!

2009-01-09T12:29:00.001-05:00

Howdy Friends! Okay... I'm trying to make up for missing my post yesterday. I know it still isn't the video...but you know! LOL!! They take a few hours each to complete and a card is about 20 minutes! LOL!!!

Here is my card for today's Limited Supply Challenge! :) Here were the rules:
*Stamps: Any (bonus points for using a heart image!)
*Paper: any + red...any shade of red
*if you use a punch or die it must be heart shaped
*if you use embossing folders...they must have a heart
*if you use an accessory it MUST be heart shaped or red
*if you use designer paper...yep you guessed it, red or hearts!

I really tried to stick to them. I had to add a few other colors in there...but not many! :) I used the heart of of Treehouse Stamps new "Angel Wings" stamp set to stamp the background. I used Versamark Dazzle (Champagne) to stamp the hearts...and then embossed them in clear embossing. I love how you can see glitter in the hearts that way! :)

I used markers from the Treehouse Stamps Copic Kits to color the image. I really hope you like it! I've listed the items used in this project below with links! :)

Have a great day!

Merry Christmas Eve!!! Tuesdays Color Challenge & Handmade Christmas Gift Tags

2008-12-24T00:39:00.000-05:00

Howdy Friends! The project above is for yesterday's color challenge! I've been trying to finish up all of my gift tags today... SO... I thought why not use these colors to make a girly tag! LOL!!! This tag measures 3 1/2" x 2 1/2". I applied the cardstock to the willow white cs from THS first... then I took 2 sided tape and then added glitter to it! Added a box... stamped the sentiment and that was it! Easy and very girly!! :)

I also wanted to share with you a few more photos of gift tags I made. I didn't take pictures of all of them... or the pictures would take up the entire website. LOL!! I made smaller versions of these to go on our chocolate covered pretzel baggies & bags full of homemade chex mix. :)

We always go to my parents on Christmas Eve...and open presents at 12:01AM... it's a family tradition. So, we will be heading that way around 5pm today. It should be wonderful to spend a little quality time with my parents, sister, and nana. Then on to the Big Christmas events! We always have my big family get together Christmas day... and then directly after that we head to Stephen's family get together! It's always a busy, busy, busy day!!!

I hope you have a great day & Merry Christmas Eve!

Hugs,

Ashley
