Snuggles and Smooches are So Sweet

Today we are focusing on the super cute Snuggles and Smooches stamp set over at Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration.  This is by far one of my most favorite photopolymer stamp sets...I have used the heck out of it!  I just love those scribbled circles!
Today's card is a CASE of the fabulous Kimberly Van Diepen's Leadership swap....I fell in love with her card and just had to recreate it! 
I used this weeks Freshly Made Sketches challenge and used KVD's water colored scribbled circles as part of the sketch.

Supplies Used:
Paper ~ Whisper White, Watercolor Paper, Best Day Ever DSP
Ink ~ Coastal Cabana, Crushed Curry, Calypso Coral
Stamp Sets ~ Snuggles and Smooches, Hello Life
Other Supplies ~ Whisper White Bakers Twine, Coastal Cabana Thick Bakers Twine, 2013-2015 In-Color Sequins
 
Happy Stamping!

A Treasured Treat Box

Happy Wednesday stampin' friends!  We've reached the half way point of the week and this makes me happy!  I'm not sure what it is, but Tuesday's are CRAZY days for me anymore and I am always glad when they are behind me.
You know what else makes me happy?  Fun Valentine Cards, Tags, Bags and Boxes!  And that's just what we are sharing today over at Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration.
My youngest is currently obsessed with Jake and the Neverland Pirates, so it seemed fitting to make him a fun little pirate treat box for Valentine's Day.
Supplies Used:
Paper ~ Baked Brown Sugar, Real Red, Whisper White, Gold Glimmer Paper
Ink ~ Memento, Basic Black, Blendabilites:  Night of Navy, Real Red, Coastal Cabana, Pumpkin Pie, Gold, Silver
Stamp Sets ~ Hey Valentine, Hard Wood
Other Supplies ~ Curvy Keepsakes, Hearts Framelits, Real Red Cotton Ribbon, Basic Black Bakers Twine
 
I thought it would be fun to add the Gold Glimmer Paper to the top of the box, but then I totally covered it up with the ribbon and bakers twine...oops!
 
Check out the rest of the fun creations from the design team members...you are sure to be INKspired to CREATE!
 
Happy Stamping!
 

The Adventure...

...is over, but the memories will last a lifetime!
I forgot to post this while I was at Leadership, but it's too fun not to share the card I made for my stampin' BFF and roomie, Cynthia.  It's always so much fun to spend time with her and I'm counting down the days until I get to see her again in July!
Pairing the Adventure Awaits stamp set up with the super cute Project Life Let's Get Away makes for an awesome card!
Supplies Used:
Paper ~ Basic Black, Very Vanilla, Typeset DSP
Ink ~ Memento, Bermuda Bay, Bermuda Bay Blendabilities
Stamp Sets ~ Adventure Awaits, Project Life Let's Get Away
Other Suppies ~ Apothecary Accents Framelits, Basic Black Taffeta Ribbon, Bermuda Bay Sequin Trim
 
I was a little intimated by these big sentiment stamps, but I am loving them now, even more so after seeing so many fabulous creations with them during Leadership.
 
I can't wait for our next adventure!!!
 
Happy Stamping!
