Viva Las Vegastamps Design Team Application

This is Part 2 of the application for the Viva Las Vegastamps Design Team! I seriously can't believe my term is almost up! It went way too fast! I'm trying to renew my status with this blog entry! If it's one Design Team I would LOVE to be on again...it's this one! VLVS is AWESOME! I love their selection - it's so unique and so diverse and the people are wonderful! Have you been to their shop lately? What about their blog? Please do...you won't regret it!

For my project I wanted to do something I usually don't do and thought about something simple and quick! A POST CARD! Above is the front...I took designer paper and added a few things including some 3D Stickers, extra ink, hand written journaling, and YES! A rubber stamp from VLVS! This cool cat is one of their many amazing Rubber Stamps! I did two tone lighter browns via craft markers.

On the back - I didn't get overly tricky or cute...I, again, hand wrote the back, and added some more 3D stickers. I also drew lines for the address and 'faked' a stamp in the upper right hand corner just for kicks.

I really do hope I make this DT again...I'm really addicted to their products...they had me at HELLO.

Wish me luck!

Gabby & Mommy Scrapbooking

I realized tonight...that it's time to SCRAP my SCRAPS! I had a lot of these bins started but after cleaning my 6 foot table off I realized...the time is NOW.
I ended up adding more and more SCRAPS to my bins and have decided to really concentrate on using my scraps in the next month or so. I will be looking for project ideas online as well as making more cards.
After cleaning my table off and once again starting to scrap...I turned around to find Momma has a helper! One of our cats Gabby APPROVED of the recently cleared surface.
Here she is helping me pick paper as she looks down at her brothers and sisters below. (Charlie, Sammy, Suzie, and Riley)
Althought Gabby doesn't look very happy here she really DOES like to scrapbook...then again...who doesn't!? HAHAHA!

Gabby Girl

Last month you may have seen the post of Sammy wearing his shades, well, tonight I wanted to feature another one of my furbabies...her name is Gabby. She's the sweetest girl you could ever meet. She's about 5 now. She's 1 of 5 furbabies we have. 2 out of the 5 are cats, the other 3 are dogs. 4 out of the 5 were adopted straight from the shelter. The other was a "rescue"...technically a "free kittens to a good home ad" but when we got there there were over 25 animals living in the kitchen of this home that didn't have a front door, let alone enough to feed and cloth their 8 kids (and 25+ animals!) Anyhow, Gabby, was found under a ferry by one of the shelter workers that brought her in. I was doing some volunteering at the time and she was a peach. She was so unique we decided to bring her home and she's been part of our family even since. In the next weeks - I am sure you will see more pictures of our furbabies!
