New Bells

I have another Kitchen Sink Stamps card to share today. Remember 2 new sets were released on Tuesday, 3 Step Poinsettia and here is . . . 3 Step Bells. I decided to try something a bit different with the bells.

I just used the 1st step and stamped it with white ink on the red cardstock. Taking an idea from my fellow Crew member Dee, I used the top half of the diploma stamp from 3 Step Graduation for the handle. Then I stamped the smallest holly and berries from 3 Step Holly & Mistletoe on a piece of Eclipse tape (since it's nice and think and would look more like it was stamped right on the bell) and adhered it to the bell. The sentiment is from the 3 Step Bells set and is the same font as Vintage Words - I love it!! The dp is some pretty Webster's Pages paper.

I love that sometimes by just using 1 step of the stamps you can more uses from these beautiful multi-step KSS stamps!!

More WCMD :)

Hello friends!! Did you happen to notice my very cool, bejeweled Search box over there on the left? I love it!! Sara is just the best ever - I was frustrated having to scroll through my blog to find things so she hooked me right up!! Oh and she made the Blogger bar at the top "auto hide" and she's working on another little goodie for me to reveal in the near future! :) Thanks so much Sara!! Go check out her blog to see the other things she's working on!

One other bit of housekeeping - the winner of my challenge on Saturday is . . . Angela!! Congrats! I hope you enjoy your prize but most of all thanks for sharing your wonderful creations with us! Check out Angela's super blog too! :)

Ok, since the weekend was so busy I didn't get to do any WCMD challenges until today. SCS had a whole day of challenges and chances to win prizes from some generous sponsors! This card today was for the sketch challenge - great sketch right?! :) I am sooooo loving my Whiskers stamp from Paper Pretties - in fabulous rubber!! She stamps so neatly! I colored her with Copic markers and then added some white Fun Flock over the color - just love the fuzziness! I was going for a "Morris the Cat" type of look, hhhmmm . . . :) The paper is from My Favorite Things, great colors!
