EVEN MORE!!! Halloween for OWH

More OWH Halloween

Maybe I should mention, Halloween is my favorite Holiday. I hope these cards go to someone who loves Halloween as much as me!! :) :)

Happy Halloween OWH

Happy Halloween for OWH!
Its perfect for anyone... But that darn Ghost was a pain in the tail to cut out.
I made a bunch of these cards in different styles for OWH. I hope they find their way to a good home. If I remember correctly, the paper is K&Co, got it on sale last year after halloween at mikes. The Stamp is from a halloween set, by recollections at Mikes. :)

For my favorite male Ging

I found this stamp on the Unity itty bitty page. I knew it would be perfect for some man cards for OWH. First I figured I would give it a whirl on my friend Brian. He and I have been having our friendship battle lately... and I figured this would be a nice thing to send him in the mail.

Stamped in Memento
Colored with Prismas, and SU!!!
Papers from my stash! Pretty sure most are recollections!

Fall cards for OWH

I must admit, I dont make many seasonal cards. But I found this house mouse stamp... and this paper, I knew I needed to make some for OWH! :)

I dont ever make Thanksgiving cards, so I figured that this would be perfect for the people who dont celebrate Thanksgiving like me! :)

Happy Birthday SJ!

This image, comes from LENA yet again. Before I left, I stamped a bunch of her stamps, and this was a PMS I had to have! I made this birthday card for Diem's cousin Sarah! :) All patterned papers are DCWV. And she is colored with Prismas, and SU!

I hope she had a great birthday

For Bailey

I made this card with some scrap papers, for my niece Bailey who turned 6!! Earlier this month. :) I got this digi from my friend Lena's stash. It comes from TGF! My nieces all love horses, but I hope they really like UNICORNS!

The Unicorn has been colored with SU! markers... Like usual!

Hopefully he brightens someones day!

You are the Sunrise in my eyes

Bombshell stamps Sketch for June. Since I was in the middle of a move I wasnt able to post this as scheduled. If you are a follower on the Bombshell Stamps Blog, then you have already seen this.

I made this card for my favorite male Ginger. Brian. {Different Brian than the Marine, btw}. I made this as a good bye see you soon card for him.

Stamp: Rise and Shine-- Bombshell Stamps
Ink: Versafine- Onyx Black

Doodled Envelope

You know the card I made yesterday for my Marine friend Brian?
Well.. I decorated this envelope for his card!

Pretty neat eh?

Hey Stud

Most of you know, I am a die hard OWH fan! If you dont know what OWH is, you should check out this awesome organization. I make cards, and I write letters what they call "Any Hero Letters". Both are so rewarding.

I made this card for a particular Marine. His name is Brian. He was actually one of the very first people to respond to one of my any hero letters!! (how rad right?!) He was deployed in Afghanistan, and we have kept in touch since his last deployment. Well Now we email, and text. He informed me recently he was up for a 2nd deployment for this year (BTW, he just got back in.... March). He has been gone since July 3rd. I promised him I would write him everyday. So I made this card for him!

This stamp is an itty bitty from Unity. I personally LOVE!!! this stamp set. I plan to use them a lot for OWH!!

BBW Thank you

I was recently in a bath and body works the other day.  I got to talking to a woman that worked there. Little did I know... SHE WAS THE STORE MANAGER!! She was super nice, and at the end of our conversation, she asked me to apply for their job opening. :) Soooooo I did. But, I also made her this Thank you card, with the Toteally Tess set, and Recollections All Seasons paper pack. I hope manage Jackie enjoyed this card! We had talked about how I enjoy making cards, and how she found that impressive... :) Why not share my passion. :)

Love from Seattle

I dont know about you, BUT I love to receive mail. Minus Bills. Bills shouldnt even be considered mail.

I recieved some mail from my Bombshell BFFand SISTER ;) You may recognize her from Bombshell Stamps. She is the reason why I am on the Bombshell DT. She twisted my rubber arm! :) RACHAEL! If you have never seen her work, feel free to leave my blog to check out hers!!! She is amazing, and let her know that I sent you her way! If you click on her name it will take you to her blog. Please feel follow her as well! She has such a creative mind. I wish I thought of the stuff she comes up with. Not to mention on her blog you can find the link to her Etsy page. There is so much cute stuff in there!

If you feel like sending me love mail email me, and let me know! :) You never know what you might receive right back! :)

Much Love,
EM

Love Muffin

I orginally bought this stamp (Mikes $1.00 bin) for me to make a card for my little muffin... My little muffin is Diem. We call each other muffin. :)

I was going through my stamps, and paper, came across it and knew it would make some cute summer-y love cards for OWH.

Sweet Simple OWH!!

I was going through some scrapbook paper at the house. I saw this gem and I knew I couldnt bare to cut him up or maybe cover him up. So I measured him... HE IS PERFECT FOR A OWH CARD!!! :)

Sentiment is a Bombshell stamp, from the Hawaiian girl set :)

Adam and Aarons birthday cards

Wow I am a terrible Auntie Em. I will say, I did get these out ON TIME. I just didnt post them on here on time.
My "Nephews" (Diem's cousins) Love Thomas. So does Diem if you all didnt know. I had some Thomas paper in my stash that I was going to use for OWH, but then I remembered I HAVE LITTLE BOYS IN MY LIFE WHO LOOOOOVE THOMAS!!

Come to find out, they had a Thomas birthday too.

Cool Points for Aunt Emily and Cousin Diem. :)

Bombshell Blog Hop!

Hey Bombshell Friends!!
Welcome the May Celebrations Blog Hop!!
I chose to celebrate NATIONAL SEAMONKEY DAY! I chose Mermaid Treasure to help me celebrate with a mild undersea nautical theme.

Something is wrong with Blogger, and uploading this photo. You can tell where its supposed to be lined up. I have tried fixing this about a million times. I could be my SD Card, My camera, my connection or Blogger. Who knows. But I am currently too lazy to fix this!! I am too far behind!

I am including a crappy cell phone pic to help out with this visual since I cant get this pic fixed. BOOOOOO

I Love That You Love Me

I love Operation Write Home. I try to make at least 6 of the same cards when I cut into a piece of scrapbook paper. But when I get the 6 bases, I usually get some 1.5-ish scraps left over. What am I going to do with these little scraps?! I attached them to my cards!!! And then added a quick sentiment! Fun for summer right? I loved this paper I couldn't just waste it!!!

Chicks Dig Guns

It feels like its been forever since I have posted something that isn't BOMBSHELLS. But... In this case, I am going to talk about how one of my BOMBSHELL FRIENDS got me hooked on  Smeared Ink. If you haven't heard of Smeared Ink and you have a mischievous, edgy side you should check them out. My friend Rachael, who is a new Bombshell Girl just like me posted this particular set called Chicks Dig Guns, and I fell in love. IMMEDIATELY! So I went over to their store to purchase me this set come to find out, THEY ARE GOING STRICTLY DIGITAL SOON AND DISCOUNTING THEIR RUBBER STAMPS!! I had to order myself a set and now my mom just incase she didnt get a chance to get a set. WE  GOT THE LAST SETS!!! (OR so they said). 

I love this set. I made this card for Brian for his Dirty Thirty Birthday. Because well he likes hot girls with guns. I think shes a pretty girl!!! One of the best girls in this set too!!! I hope he likes it!

I also stamped the inside of the card. Which is always rare. I rarely stamp the inside. So here is the sentiment. 

I hope you enjoy, and hope you have a fantastic day!!!

Happy EARLY Mom's Day :)

Happy Early Mom's Day to my Mom, Linda. Who is by far one of my favorite Red heads EVERRRRR! 

I made this vertical easel card for her, for the challenge over at Rise the Bar where I am a Guest Bartender!!! Thanks to my Bombshell altered flats I created using their Hawaiian theme last week!! :)

I used the Bombshell Angel, and the Bombshell Angel Digi clothing. Sentiment is also from the Digi set. I also used the Tattoo Font to stamp out "MOM". Which is a brand new set I got from Bombshell Stamps. :) 

She is inked up in Versafine, colored with Prismacolor (Eggshell) and SU Real red marker. 

I hope my mom enjoys it. 

Happy EARLY Mom's day to all my Mom friends.

I was inspired by a pair of Betty Page themed shoes that were animal print. (SEEN HERE). Arent those Great!? I love them. I have a pair of Candies heels that are very similar to them! If found them on the link Alison provided for inspiration. Instead of me looking at Betty pictures, I saw a link for SHOPPING. Me... interested in shopping... How rare!! Now onto business and my card! Enjoy!

My "Betty" inspired project was made with two sets, Girls Ruin, and Love and Hate. The little birds really did the trick for me, and of course the Bombshell in the beautiful heel. She was inked in Versa fine, colored with Prismacolor, and Stampin Up Marker. Paper Pieced with Recollections- Animal Kingdom. Other papers also come from other Recollections paper. Paper has been Distressed with Versafine and a sponge paint brush.

Thanks for stopping by, next stop is fellow new DT member Torrey @ http://left-field-studio.blogspot.com/. She is pretty rad, not to mention she made all the cool badges for all of us Bombshell Girls, and Pin Ups! Now go and leave her some love! I know you are bound to be impressed.

Bracelet for Haley

If you follow me on Facebook, you have probably seen this bracelet. Some people thought this was a wooden bowl {due to it being on its side.}

I made this bracelet for one of my best friends, Haley. She has been asking... FOREVER for one and I kept neglecting to make one for her.

She came by my house on Monday and I showed her my stamp sets that she could chose from for me to put on a wooden bracelet for her. She chose Mermaid Treasure... But I also added Hawaiian Girl to this bracelet just because of the little turtle :)

I used Stazon, White tissue paper, Bic Mark its, Distress Inks, and Sparkle Mod Podge on this bracelet. I hope she likes it! She seemed to when I gave it to her on Tuesday!!! :) And imagine that! This qualifies for another BSS DT ONLY CHALLENGE!! :) Look at me... I am on a roll!!

Bombshell Stamps April Sketch

This was my submission for the Bombshell Stamps April Sketch. Feel free to join in the fun. Use the sketch, and link up with us on the blog post, or in the forum, you can find yourself at a chance of winning some rubber stamps from Bombshell Stamps.

It was such a fun sketch, I hope to do more of this sketch.I shouldnt forget to mention... this card also qualifies for the Bombshell Stamps DT ONLY challenge because I used stamps from TWO different stamp sets. I used Bombshell Angel, and Rose's Portrait. How fun right? The more submissions I turn in the better the chances myself to win some Bombshell goodies so wish me luck since my Bombshell Wish list is like a million pages long! :)

I am sending this card to Diem's aunt for her birthday which is this week. She is a big supporter of my craftiness. I figure it would be perfect for her!

This card was made with the rose and sentiment from Rose's Portrait, and the Lil Angel from Bombshell Angel. Everything was inked in Versafine, and colored in Prismacolor and Bic Mark-its. And the big shocker... I USED STICKLES!!! I know I am more shocked than you are I think. ;)

Bombshell Stamps April Pin Up Challenge: Alter Ego

Here is my Alter Ego entry for Bombshell Stamps.
I altered some flats! In the next few weeks over at the Bombshell Blog there will be a brief tutorial on how I made these! Be on the look out!!!

doodles for Haley

Rumor is the proper term for things like this called a Zentangle. I prefer to just call it a doodle. I love the feel of a brand new  sharpie and that is what is used to draw this for one of my best friends, Haley. She has been asking me for a while to draw her one so I finally did it. Boy did it start a monster. I ended up drawing two smaller versions for two other people. This is a 12x12 doodle. Now I need to go pick up a scrapbook frame for her :)

MFT: Call Me

Things that I love:
Color, Patterns, and long chats with my long lost BFFs:)
I love these papers. If I remember correctly they are from a pack of K & Co adhesive paper... WHICH I ALSO LOVE!!

I made a bunch of these in different colors and patterns for OWH.
Stamps Used: MFT WTG Mini-- Call Me
Stamped in Versafine
Colored with Prismas and SU!!

I hope this card makes its way to a great family!

How you Bean? Pocket Card

Once again, a crappy picture! 

I used my nesties circle, Fiskars coffee set, and some scrap papers. Little coffee cup has been colored with prismas, and SU! 

I made this for OWH. Its a perfect Pocket card :) :) 

Have you heard the news?

If you did not already hear the commotion.... I AM AN OFFICIAL BOMBSHELL STAMP FULL TIME DESIGN TEAM (for the next 6 months) MEMBER!!! I am pretty excited, and if it wasn't for my Bombshell BFF, Rachael I would not have gotten it. She got it as well! I am really excited for the two of us, and be sure to follow us on the Bombshell Stamps Blog each and every month. If you're lucky, you may see a tutorial two from us each month!

In the meantime, enjoy this card:

This was Drewper's Christmas card this past Christmas card. Not the best, but he liked it!

Been a while....

Or so it seems  since I have posted a Greeting Farm image :)  And please excuse the crappy picture. Diem dropped this camera a while back and I have been with out a camera and at the time this was the best case scenario. But I got a new camera, and soon enough better pictures will be arriving!!

I used a MS punch, and layered different papers on top of each others for this look. I have seen it done on other cards around the blog world, and I figured I would try it out. I love how it looks, and so I figure I will do this again soon :)

My little Anya is colored with Prismas and SU markers (Typical I know!)

Enjoy!! 

Happy First Day of Spring!!!!!

HAPPY FIRST DAY OF SPRING!!!
We are getting closer to summer!!! My favorite season!!!

To celebrate here is a birthday card made with a Bella!!! :)

Its starting to look like SPRING here

I hate stickers, but I love these SU floral stickers that I got from my OWH secret santa. She also gave me the leaf paper. I love how it goes great with Kraft paper!!!!

My Name is Emily, and I am a paper pack hoarder

So, my camera took a dump a few days ago, so some pictures will have this black shutter mark in the corner. THANK YOU MEL FOR PUTTING YOUR FINGER IN THE LENS!!!

This paper is over 3 years old. I got it while I was a scrapbooker. And its one thing that I hate! FLOCKED!!! I hate flocking and flocked paper. I guess its a texture thing! But I do not like it. So who ever gets my card from OWH. I hope you like it. :) :)

Sentiment comes from a Fiskars coffee set, but I like it just the same!!!

Love/ Valentines day card :)

I love this House Mouse Stamp. I saw it in a Hobby Lobby ad last year, asked my mom to get it for me as she lives near a HL... well she sent me the wrong one. This year for Valentines day she got it for me though!!! :) And it was early too so I could make some Love cards for OWH. Well this card inparticular was made for my Aunt Marie.

These little critters were stamped in Versafine, and colored in Prismas and SU. Papers were on sale at Mikes, but cant remember who they are by, but I know I love the paper!!!!

Youre a fabulous friend!

This is probably by far the best $1 Mikes find! I have used it so many different times for OWH :) I love it!

I have stamped this hoot-er with Versafine and colored with Prismas and SU.... paper is from Joanns...  and its all peacock themed.... i believe its called Royal Garden. I love how rich the colors and I suggest everyone buys atleast 2 packs. one to use and one to hoard. :)
