Sneak Peek Teddy Bears

Last week my little girl had her last day of Young Fives Kindergarten (Pre-K).  It was a WONDERFUL year for my little girl.  It gave her the time to grow up emotionally while feeding her love of learning (especially her zeal for reading).  She also had the most wonderful teacher and assistant teacher! 
The class was called the Kindercubs, so of course a Teddy bear card was needed for the thank you gift.  This card was designed to be tied to a hanging plant (with a fun gift card tucked inside).

The stamp set I used was Teddy Bear Inchies (to be released 6-25-09) from Rubbernecker Stamp Company.  The little guys are stamped with Chestnut Roan Fluid Chalk Ink and colored with colored pencils.
The DP is from SEI and the cardstock is from Prism.
Come back tomorrow for Wacky Wednesday and the next day for the full set of releases!!! 

There are some AWESOME stamps you don’t want to miss!

Yummy drinks!

Today I have completed a couple of challenges using the brand spankin’ new Coffeetime set from Rubbernecker Stamp Company.

The first challenge was the Clean and Simple Challenge #19  from SplitCoastStampers.  It is a sketch challenge based on a card by my fellow Starving Artistamps Design Team Member, Natasha Trupp.

• Stamps: Coffeetime(458);
• Paper: Gypsy Market-Willow DP by 7 Gypsies; Super Smooth White by Prism;
• Ink: StazOn Jet Black; Tim Holtz Distress Ink-Walnut Stain and Vintage Photo;
• Other Supplies: hardware; pencils; sponges; black pen;

 

This next card answers a challenge from Sharon and her Stamp Simply Challenge #92.  She has asked us to create a card that we would use to put a summer recipe in or on.

I have chosen to send our family “recipe” for yogurt smoothies to a friend.  I actually don’t follow recipes, but this is how we  make smoothies:

1. In a blender blend frozen berries (we have found that mixed berries work best) with enough milk to almost cover the fruit.  Blend on med/low till mixture flows freely. (add more milk if it gets *stuck*)
2. Add vanilla or fruit yogurt (approx. 1 to 1 ratio to the fruit added in step one).  Blend again increasing the speed.
3. Pour into cups and enjoy.

The card:

• Stamps: Coffeetime(458);
• Ink: StazOn Jet black;
• Paper: Super Smooth White-Prism; DP-We R Memory Keepers; Card Base-embossed card DCWV;
• Other Supplies: Pencils; Glossy Accents; May Arts Ribbon;

To show you the “smoothie-ness”:

Smoothies are an inexpensive and healthy snack that my family truly enjoys.  Thanks Sharon for the challenge!
