Toy's Haven

Gooooooooood Morning!!

Are you ready for more?!     I have been having sooooooo much fun with these Our Craft Lounge images, I do NOT want it to end.   My desk, however, looks like a bomb went off on it… I have paper and pens and embellies laying all over.   It has been one of those “E-Ticket” rides!  Woohoo!!

Let’s get started!

~*~ In the Doghouse? ~*~

This image just cracks me up.    I am always telling one of my ‘men’ that they are in my doghouse.   Now I can present them with the card to go with it :)~   This is my first encounter with Pat the Dog, but I am smitten.   This playful pooch is getting into all kinds of mayhem.

For the “fence” background, I drew lines on real red cardstock, made some nails and then highlighted different areas to make it look like a backyard fence.   Can you SPOT my error?

Deets on the doggie card:

Stamps:   Pat the Bad Dog by Our Craft Lounge

Colors:  Basic Black, Kiwi Kiss, Real Red, GP White

~~ Happy St. Paddy’s Day ~~

Everyone is a little Irish when St. Patrick’s day comes around… this set is perfect for showing off your irish!   Pots of Gold, horseshoes and lucky clovers dress up your creations to a tee.

For this, I created the background by lining a piece of GP White cardstock with sticky tape and applying two different shades of green glitter.   The pot o’ gold and the horseshoe both have gold glitz stickles on them.

Here’s the lowdown:

Stamps:  Kiss Me I’m Green by Our Craft Lounge

Colors: Basic Black, Garden Green, GP White

Ink: Brilliance Graphite Black, copic markers

Accessories: brads, ribbon, MS border punch, swiss dots EF, small scallop circle punch, sticky tape, glitter, scissors, dimensionals

~~ Jesus Loves……. ~~

Ok, so this set holds a special place in my heart already.   This is one of the songs I sang to my boys frequently when they were younger (and couldn’t critique my singing!!).   The stick figure images are just adorable!

I thought primary colors would compliment this image perfectly.    I even shocked myself when I found this PERFECTLY colored ribbon to match!

Deets, deets and more deets:

Stamps:  Children of the World by Our Craft Lounge

Colors:  Taken with Teal, Real Red, Yo Yo Yellow, GP White

Ink: Brilliance Graphite Black, copic markers

~~ SNAIL-a brate! ~~

Ok, we ALL love snail mail… especially the birthday kind!   This adorable little snail and his mail pouch are ready to deliver the happiest of birthday wishes.   I tried desperately to get the mailbox image that is in this set on my card, but it just wouldn’t fit.   It is sooooo well drawn!

Isn’t he the cutest!?   Now that’s a snail I won’t step on! LOL…… ewwww!!   (I had to)

Here’s what he’s all about:

Stamps:   Snail Mail by Our Craft Lounge

Colors: Chocolate chip, Regal Rose, GP White, Kiwi Kiss, Basic Grey dps

Ink: Brilliance Graphite Black, copic markers

Accessories: pink candy dots, ribbons, stickles (on the cupcake), dimensionals, scissors

I am loving all of the sneak peeks. Great background on the St. Paddy’s day card. Found your blog about two weeks ago, and it’s now on my daily blog stalking. Love your work.

Congrats, Becky!!  I will e-mail you for your address!

Any YET another sneak peek!

~~ Give A Smile ~~

Today’s Limited Supply Challenge was to make a clean and simple (CAS) card.    When I think CAS, I think JulieHRR.   I, am, admittedly intimidated by her style.   She uses so little to make such a huge impact.    So, I channelled my inner Julie and came up with this.

I used this month’s (February) new release from There She Goes’…. Flowers of Happiness

Deets… get ’em here;

Stamps:   There She Goes’ Flowers of Happiness

Colors: GP White

Ink: Brilliance Graphite Black, Copics, white gel pen for accents

Accessories: pink 1/2 pearls, white 1/2 pearl (lg), small ribbon slide, ribbon

Thanks for stopping by!   Have a peaceful day :)~
