New Sketch at Deconstructing Jen

          So everyone knows I love a good sketch and Deconstructing Jen is my place to go for inspiration. So this latest sketch has grabbed my attention and I think I will be {constructing} a card this weekend using it......

          What do you think? Let's see what I can come up with. =)

Got a Boo Boo?

          OMG, can you say cute? Another little stamp that tugged at my heart strings. BooBoo Bear is simply the cutest {EVER}! Being a paediatric nurse I have nursed a few bears in my time for patients of mine so I could not resist this one at all.... pick this one up here

          So what do you think? How cute is she {and him}? It really is a simple card but still so adorable. This is an A2 card from Gina K Kraft card stock. Unfortunately I do not know who the supplier is of the patterned paper so if anyone recognizes it don't be afraid to let me know, I like to give credit where credit is due. I used a doily in behind the framed image to give a little texture to the card.

          The Copic markers I used for this particular image are E000, E00, E11, R20, E51, E53, E55, R39, R46, NO, N1, N3, RV10, RV11, E41, E42, E43, E74, E77 and E79. The "Feel Better" sentiment is from ScrappyMoms. I added 2 red brads for a pop of colour. Faux stitching was added with a Uniball Signa white gel pen.

          Remember the great sale! If you use the code {I love The Paper Nest} in the notes section at The Paper Nest, you can receive 20% off your entire order. This is good until March 31st. So stock up now while you have the chance.

Creative Blocks Can Really Suck.... oh that and work.....

          I am so sorry for no posts recently.... I have been at work for the last week and 12 hour shifts can really put a damper on your crafting world. That and I hit a bit of a creative block which I hope will be rectified this weekend... I have a glorious 5 days off starting tomorrow which I am really in need of. I am also trying to get sorted out for my trip which I leave for on March 8. Just an FYI, I do have a post coming on the 28th for The Paper Nest, so please stay tuned..... super cute stamps..... check it out.....

Paper Nest SALE......

          Wow, Christine sure is a busy little bee at the shop. Everyone knows that the official stamp release of all of her cute stamps is happening tonight. Unfortunately not all of us can be there but that doesn't mean you can not enjoy the same goodness that everyone attending can. So here is the deal......

          The Paper Nest has decided to throw a sale for all of us who can not attend that party tonight...... normally the rubber stamps are $7.99 each, TODAY until midnight EST if you buy 2 you can have them each for $7.50, if you buy 3 you can get them for $7.00 each. That's not it though, if you spend a minimum of $30.00 you can get FREE shipping to the U.S. She does not want to forget about the rest of the world though so she is willing to pay $5.95 towards the shipping if you live outside of the U.S. How awesome is that? So how does it work? Go to her store here, figure out what you want..... (it will be all of it because is simply to hard to resist) email her at thepapernest@yahoo.com and tell her what you want, she will invoice you through Paypal and voila you are done.......

          BUT WAIT!!!! Your not quite done because if you buy 3 or more stamps you will be entered to win a gift basket courtesy of the The Paper Nest.......

          Good Luck Everyone..... :)
