Time to Jump for "Joy"!

"Joy" being Torendi's October 2009 kit! I've been having tons of fun playing with this kit. I think it can be used for any season. In my layout I added some beach stamps and made a summer theme. For my card I added a cute OBP owl and it seems to have given it a fall feel.

Hop on over to the Torendi Blog to see more of "Joy" and learn all about it! Can't wait to play too, run on over to the Torendi Shop and buy some "Joy" for yourself! Want some more exciting news? Torendi is now shipping ALL orders at a $5 FLAT RATE and there is NEVER any sale tax!! AWESOME!

I combined my Unity Stamps and Torendi September Kit (only 3 left!) to make this adorable little card. I have always wanted to go skydiving but it's never going to happen. My husband is not a fan and now I also have little ones to think about as well, one can dream right! Maybe I will try out indoor skydiving sometime.

Etsy Inspired #53

53 already?! WOW! I know Etsy Inspired just had their first birthday bash, I guess I didn't do the math! lol Congrats Ashley! This weeks shop is Pinky's Pet Gear and it is filled with bright colored collars for cats and dogs. While I wasn't inspired by one collar in-particular, they all screamed HEY LOOK AT ME, with their bright colors and patterns and I think this card does the same.

A couple more challenge cards...

I combined a few challenges for these cards but they both fit in with the current Moxie Fab Challenge to have a household item as your main focal point. Soda isn't really common around our house but Chucks sure are! :)

The first card I also combined with the December card call over at the new ezine Embellish! Go check it out, it's a fun color combo and they are giving away an ipod touch to whoever ends up on the cover!

For this card I followed a sketch on the caardvarks blog. They have 3 sketches to choose from, I picked #3.

For these projects I used more goodies that you can purchase at Torendi, like the Cosmo Cricket boyfriend paper pack, boyfriend chipboard, and Bam Pop! Pop Frames 2!

GS #5

Get Sketchy blog is on their 5th sketch challenge and this is my take on it! I have actually never made a double fold card before, kinda cute (is there an official term for this?). While the weather in the Oregon Coast is BEAUTIFUL today, in a few months I'm sure I will be asking the rain to go away! ;) Of course I had to use some fun Bam Pop! products that you can find in the Torendi store. The paper is from the September 09 Torendi Kit and the stamp is from the cloudies set.

Thanks for taking a peek!

So Easy with E.A.D.!

Greetings from California! My vacation is winding down here and I'm hurrying home to open Torendi TOMORROW, but today is filled with 2 cute E.A.D. projects and two plane rides back to Oregon.

I love the colors of this layout, so fun, and my girls just make it that much more adorable! ;) I'm also pretty sure that you can turn the E.A.D. clock rub-ons into an actual working clock!

This frame took me maybe a minute, really! I think it's so cute and I can switch out the picture or rub-ons later if I want to. I thought the mushrooms went well with the tree background.
