~Are We There Yet w/ Avocado Arts!~

Good morning and a very happy Saturday to you!

I am excited about the newest stamp set from Avocado Arts- 

Are We There Yet- I mean how amazeballs are these?? I love them!

I have three projects to share today!!

For this card I stamped the sign image twice and cut out the arrows then 

carefully stamped the I'm Here For You sentiment on each arrow individually. 

It might look like a clean and simple card but it took time with all the taping

and stamping to get them in each arrow LOL

BUT I love the end result!!

This is the actual stamp set:

LOVE it so hard!

I created this more vintage style card in which I embossed the trailer

itself with copper kettle embossing powder. 

 For this card I used some travel papers I had in my stash
and stamped 6 suitcases- then cut out the middle and inserted the
striped paper- I love that so much! :)

 I popped the suitcases up with foam pop dots.

I usually use the digital die cuts but this time I did not-
BUT each stamp set comes with them that is a great bonus!

So those are my card projects and I wanted to remind you....

don't forget my Avocado Arts ONLINE Scrapbook Class!!

~Awkward Card #1~

Good morning my friends, 

Sometimes I just get a wild hair and decided to craft for giggles and

fun. I was chatting with some friends this week and we seem to find

universal problems without a delicate way to handle them....

then the idea came to me...

a series of "Awkward Cards" by ME! haha

Funny sweet ways to handle delicate situations with a sense of humor

and definitely a modern twist...one huge issue several of my friends have

is dogs from the neighbors who are friends wandering into their yards 

and pooping...so why not send a beautiful card to your neighbor?

 That says "You know I love you.....please keep your dog shit out of my yard"

No it's not the most tactful way but it's meant to be fun for those with a good

sense of humor and if it's a friend she/he will laugh. :) 

Seriously I have a million ideas, maybe I should sell them...

You need this card? You can totally have it for 5.00! :)

Send me a problem I will make a card for it! 

Happy Tuesday, I hope you got a chuckle from today's post!

I would totally show October Afternoon and tag them but 

they probably don't condone a card saying "shit" in it...LOL

Did you see the "NOTES" turned upside down? yes awkward charm 

I totally just pointed out...not awkward right? LOL 

Happy Tuesday my friends! Share my post! It will be a trend!!!

Don't forget my Spring Cards ONLINE class coming up!

~Perfectly Planted Feature!!~

Good morning and HAPPY MONDAY my crafty friends,

what a wonderful weekend we had in the Hobbs home 

and I carved out some crafty time too! I have THREE projects to share today. 

All of them include the new Perfectly Planted stamp set from Avocado Arts!

This layout from our Beach Vacation. 

 Since our vacation was all about family and friends

I thought the Perfectly Planted set was perfect to embellish this layout. 

 LOVE this quote!! :) 

I also wanted to make a special card for a special friend,

I thought playing with colors and Mister Huey's Mist would be a fun time!

Here is the set if you haven't seen it. IT IS AMAZING!

And it comes with these digital dies which I totally used on my Silhouette!

And last but not least this embossed acrd, yes I went old school with

the Swiss Dots embossing folder. I mean seriously how can you go wrong people??

Have you tried AA? They are a fun FUN TIME for sure!!

I also wanted to share that you will be seeing some Avocado Arts stamping

being done in my newest My Creative Classroom Class beginning on 

May 2nd. I often use AA in my ONLINE classes at MCC! :) 

It is ONLY 14.00! :)
