S2G Final Day of Sneak Peeks! Did you just love everything?!?

Can you believe that it's Thursday already??!! My oh my this week has traveled by fast. I thought I would give everyone a quick peek at all of the sneaks that I've shared with you over the past 7 days. I hope you enjoy it.

I hope that you have enjoyed our sneak peeks for the last 6 days! I have a couple more amazing sets to share with you. Ready for the first one....Let's Introduce Love Peace Joy!

My card was designed using fabric as my background which was sewn onto a piece of black cs. I added a strip of green galore. I just love this image set! What do you think?

My second sample for today is made using a new set called Feelin' Groovy. I also used pieces of this set on my memory canvas that you saw on day 4 along with Peace Dog. This card was created for a Monday SCS Technique Challenge. The challenge was to create a grid card. I think it came out pretty nice and these images are just totally AWESOME!

I've listed below the other sets that are being released with the Mazie line. If you want to see more samples using the sets below, then head on over to our wonderful DT blogs and check them out. Don't forget to leave comments so that you're entered in for our grand prize drawing.

Shirleys2Girls Sneek Peek - Day #4 - PEACE OUT!

Gosh the weekend is going by fast! Well it's now day number 4 of shirleys2girls sneek peeks. Have you just loved the last few days of sneek peeks!??! We've got 4 more exciting days of sneek peeks so please stick around.

Now on to day 4 business...I think our hint from yesterday was hmmm "Love not War!" Are you ready for the next sneek peek? Well let's introduce to you one groovy DOG......

PEACE DOG!

Ready to see some samples? I made something a little different this time. I made an item that I call a "memory canvas". I took an 8x10 artist canvas and designed it to look like a groovy shirt and skirt. Here's how I designed it. I painted my canvas a groovy green. I gathered a small piece of demin fabric to make my hippie skirt and used some 60's fabrics that I purchased at Hancock to make my belt and shoulder straps. I stapled the skirt in place and glued on the belt. The picutre doesn't show it very well but the belt is fringed on the ends. I then stapled the straps to the canvas and add a children's hanger so that it could easily be hung on the wall. Got all that so far....LOL!!! I know it's alot and once I completed the look that I wanted I added my stamped images and places to hold photographs onto the canvas. I used some foam flowers with some paper flowers and rhinestones to cover my staples on the straps. The canvas can hold 2 special groovy photos of your favorite friends. This little item came out soooooo soooo cute I think. Hope ya'll like it. So here's the pictures of it. If you would like any details on how to make this, just send me an email.

I also did a card for a SCS Wednesday Sketch Challenge (SC237) using Peace Dog. I used some of the new DP that S2G is offering with the Mazie line! I paired it up with the new Crushed Curry from SU and added some black. He's colored with copics and cut out to give it some dimension. I just love this dang DOG, don't you??!!

I hope that you are loving day #4 of shirleys2girls Sneek Peeks! Wanna see more...

BEACH MAZIE!
Don't you just LOVE HER!

Ok ready for my sample of her. I used SU card stock in green galore, summer sun, and only orange. These were such bright and sunny colors together. I found some perfect DP at micheals that fit perfectly for my backgroung. I embossed with my CB using the swirls folder and layered that on white. Mazie is on neenah classic solar white cs and matted with only orange and green galore. She is colored with copics and I added a touch of ribbon to the side. She just screams beach, I think. Now where did that cabana boy go I need another one of those umbrella drinks???!!! LOL!!!!

Here is my sample using Love Bug Mazie! Do you remember as kid making those COOTIE CATCHERS???? Well that's what I used for my display. Here are the instructions to make one. I turned it upside down and filled it with smarties candies! What a groovy table centerpiece for a party. I decorated my catcher with some DP and added some flowers. I put a hole in the center and covered a small dowel with ribbon. Mazie was colored with copics and outlined with my square scallop nestabilities. I found a cute little bubble and put the words GROOOOOOVY! in it above her head! Her cute little bug was paper pieced. I wanna have her car!!! LOL!! Do you like her???

Belli Challenge Wednesday! Head on Over!

It's Wednesday! I love Wednesday's because that means that we are 2 days from Friday! LOL! I really love Wednesday because it's time for the Belli Challenge over at the Creative Belli Challenge Blog!!!

This weeks Belli challenge is to create a card, scrapbook page or project using a metal tag. Here is a tutorial on SCS for making faux metal. Click here.

For my card below, I used 2 different stamps from shirleys2girls. The first one is called Domino's Amusing (SG 55) and the second is called Spring Fever (SG 63).

I used one of the brand spankin' new colors from SU called Crushed Curry. Oh love it love it! I paired it with Lovely Lilac and Black. I used my favorite CB embossing folder Swiss Dots. My image was stamped with memento black on Neenah Classic Solar white CS. I masked Domino to make him look like he's sitting in the flowers. He and his spring bouquet were all colored/blended with copic markers. I added a layer of crushed curry, lovely lilac and black and used some dimension dots to raise my stamped image up. I added a couple of flowers and button along the bottom left side and on the other side is my metal tag holding my sentiment. I love this sentiment. So what do you think?

What's next? Play along, silly!

Head over right now to the Belli Challenge Blog to see all the lovely Belli Ladies inspirations to get your mojo going. We can't wait to see what you come up with. So come and play with us!

This week the TWIST IS....To make any shape card using any layout that you choose! So ditch that traditional 4 1/4 X 5 1/2 inch size card and lets shovel up some really cool card shapes!

Wanna see mine!?? I used a really fun Tri-Shutter card. You can find the tutorial for this card here. This was such a fun card to put together. My stamp is called Penguin Sledding (SG H23) from the Holiday section over at shirleys2girls. The base of my card is a shimmery red paired with SU baja breeze. I used some white shimmery paper for the snow and tore the edges. I put some glue down along the edges and sprinkled some chunky white sparkley glitter on top. WOW! I love the effect of this. It looks so real! I just wanted to jump right in it! LOL! The snowflake DP is from hobbylobby and the wooden snowflakes are from Michaels. I love the sentiment for this! I added some white and red organza ribbon on the top. Aren't you just ready to go play in the snow???!!!

This weeks Belli challenge is to create a card, scrapbook page or project with some Texture to it, baby! You can use flocking, flower soft or mesh! Whatever gives your card texture!

For my card below, I used a stamp from Stampingbella called Alexis' Bad Hair Day! Isn't she just the cutest everah!?

I used creamy carmel, regal rose and bashful blue cardstock from Stampin' Up!. The DP I've been hoarding so finally decided to break it out! I'm so bad about hoarding my DP! I know shame on me! LOL! The background is embossed with my swiss dots embossing folder and just a touch of close to cocoa along the edges. I broke out my nestabilities circles and scallop circles to add along the side of the image and used one of my fiskars border punches for the scallop trim. Little Ms Alexis is colored with copics with some ivory flower soft around her collar and cuffs on her robe. Oh looks so soft and cuddley! I cut out the bunny slippers and added them on pop dots to give it some dimension. A prima flower with some buttons to match just topped her off! I really love the way she turned out, do you ??!!!

SNR 4th Of July Blog Hop - Join in on the FUN!

Welcome to the "Oh Say Can You See 4th of July Blog Hop"! I'm so excited that you stopped by to see my 4th of July projects!

If you came from Alex's blog at http://californiastampin.blogspot.com/ then you're at the right place on the hop! Opppss if you didn't you may want to hop back to SNR Card Universe and start at the beggining. We wouldn't want you to miss a single solitary thing!

Well here's my 4th of July celebration project. I'm so excited to share this with you. The stamps and DP (digi) that I used all come from shirleys2girls. These images and papers are brand spankin' new and aren't they just the cutest and so so festive!

I used two different images. The card has Independence Gracie and my cute little sparkler box uses Family Fun. All the DP papers are from shirleys2girls and they are digi's. WOW I must say that I was so hestitate to try digi paper but I really really love it! If you haven't tried it you should give it a go! All of the solid card stock is Stampin' Up! and I used Brillant Blue, Real Red and Summer Sun. The white card stock is neenah classic solar white. Since I use copics for my coloring I find that this is the best paper to use with little bleeding and great color saturation. Little Miss Gracie's dress is paper pieced using the digi DP from shirleys2girls. I added some Stampin' Up grosgrain ribbon and some sparklie (not sure that is a word but I like) star rhinestones to give it some shine!

The adorable sparkler box came from Lisa Somerville's Blog. Her original box template is made to hold test tubes filled with candy so instead of making the circle holes at the top, I measured my sparkler box and cut to fit! I was really excited on how easy it was to assemble!

My last item are the firecrackers...they were made with lifesaver rolls covered with DP and 4th of July garland put throught the top! These make great centerpieces for your table and could be used for any holiday! I love it when we find something that is so flexible, don't you?!

I hope that you enjoyed viewing my projects and if you're interested in any other deets, please shoot me an email and I'll be happy to share.

I've certainly enjoyed our time together and it's time to hop on over to the next blog stop. Click HERE to head over to Toni's to view her sensational projects for you at http://thedigishack.wordpress.com/.

I hope that you've enjoyed your blog hopping today and come back and visit again soon!
