I haven't had a chance to play along with the Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge for a few weeks due to design team committments and plain old life. Today this little card came to me and I decided it would work for this week's Anything Goes Challenge. The image panel was water colored with Tim Holtz Distress reinkers. The fish image is from Paper Smooches Stamps " Birthday Buddies ",  colored with Copic Markers and highlighted with yellow Wink of Stella brush. Of course, I had to add a googlie eye  to the fish image! Thanks for stopping by!  I always enjoy reading your comments.

The Polaroid frame die was cut from card stock stamped with the Wood Grain.  The card base was distressed with Rich Cocoa Memento ink and a dauber.

I hope everyone is having a fabulous Saturday! We are having a beautiful, sunny day. When I saw this week's Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge was "Anything Goes".  I knew I wanted to create a scrapbook layout using photos from our recent trip to the island of Maui. I have used  " Surf & Turf " from Paper Smooches Stamps and Polaroid die . The seaweed is from Kim's "Ocean Friends"set. The layout was created by combining stickers, designer papers, stamps and a Hero Arts stencil.  Below is a closeup of the  stenciling process.  It's difficult to see in the photo, but I applied a layer of Liquitex gloss heavy gel for texture.

Good morning! I'm back with a quick post for this week's "Anything Goes" challenge over on the Paper Smooches Sparks challenge blog . I am having so much fun with the " We Totally Click " stamp set. You can check it out and all of the fun sets at Paper Smooches Stamps . This set of pocket pages were so fun to create! I am helping my sister with pocket page albums for both of my nieces.  Sadly, I am VERY far behind as these photos were from her Birthday last May.  Yikes! The fun photo themed images in this PS set made it super easy to add fun embellishments to the cards. The journaling was left blank for my sister to complete.   Thanks so much for stopping by! I really appreciate your comments.

Paper Smooches Sparks is hosting another "Anything Goes" challenge this week over on the blog. I recently ordered a few of the new stamp  sets and the Poloroid die .  So, I thought: "Why not use the fun PS die for a layout?"   Here's what I came up with:     I also combined a few of the stamps from PS We Totally Click and I think they add the perfect balance to the page. Snowflake eyelet charms by MME, rhinestones, a paw brad, tag and skis by Jolee's finish the page.     The layout is based on a great sketch provide by Sally over on Splitcoast Stampers. I am also entering this layout in the Simon Says Stamp  Wednesday Challenge:  Ice Inspiration . Thanks for stopping by for a closer look! I always enjoy reading your comments.
