Huge shopping spree haul video coming maybe next week!

Hey all! I just wanted to update you on the haul video. I haven't done it because I just keep ordering things. I just ordered a huge haul from scrapbook.com and last night placed my final Simon Says Stamp order. Someone stop me, haha! I've seriously placed like 10 orders in the last two or three weeks. So many awesome goodies to share! I haven't used anything yet because I want things to be brand new when I show them on the video, but I'm itching like crazy to use some of the Dylusions paints to paint a gray garden gnome I bought from Marshalls and add stickles and color to some outdoor fairies I bought at TJ Maxx. I'll be sharing pictures of my little garden with the decorations as soon as I'm finished with that project. Can't wait for everything to arrive! It's going to be a looong video. I must have bought like 50 things combined.

I just placed a huge order (the fourth order from them this week, haha!) and the coupon was applied successfully. The coupon code is MOMSROCK.
I'll be sharing a video of my haul from Simon Says Stamp and Marker Pop on youtube later next week when everything has arrived. I'll post a link on another blog post. I know it's been months since I last created something. College and work are taking up all my time. Thankfully I'll be done with the semester in two weeks and I hope to be able to craft again.
I bought a garden gnome in Marshall's and ordered some Ranger's Dylusions paints to color him, since he has no colors. I also got some super cute garden fairies that I'll be enhancing with stickles to make them pop a little more, as they're colored in very mute tones. I'll be sharing pictures of those projects once I finally get some time to complete them.

Since I had BoBunny's Country Garden Collection papers out, and I'm trying to use up the pad, I picked my favorite patterns from the pad and made this card using a sketch I got off the Internet. I have some of these papers left over, so I'll probably make a last card using up those patterns and then throw out the remaining ugly patterns. Sentiment was stamped with a brown Prima ink, which I think goes better with these papers than the other brown I used on the previous card. I'm still trying to find my Memento brown pad, which was my favorite brown.

Hi all, here's a quick card I made just because. I had done the card without an image at first. I just can't find an image that fits with the BoBunny Country Garden Collection I'm trying to use up. I decided to go with this MFT You Gnome Me image. The sentiment is from that same set. I was thrilled to get the chance to use the set, because it's brand new for me and I like inking up new stamps. I think the card looks kind of empty, though. I didn't know what to embellish with. I wish I had lots of paper flowers to use, but I haven't bought any yet.

So I'm back from a LONG hiatus of not blogging. I hope to stay this time.
I have a card to share with you today. I'll be entering it in Papertake Weekly's Anything Goes Challenge and Creative Card Crew's Die Cuts Challenge.

Here is my card. It is 5 1/2" by 5 1/2"

I used a Simon Says Stamp smile circle die cut. Paper is Papertrey Ink Spring Rain card stock and Bo Bunny's Country Garden collection. I'm trying to use up as much paper as I can, so I layered with patterned paper. The stamp is by Tiddly Inks.
Copics used are B14, B000, B00, B01, G24, G21, YG25, E57, E59, R29, Y35, E81, E84, E000, R85, R83, R81. I also used a green adhesive pearl.
