What's the buzz - SPARKS Anything Goes



Thought I would play along with the Paper Smooches Sparks challenge this week since it's Anything Goes.  I used my Cyber Cafe stamp set for this card and managed to use a fair number of the stamps in the set to decorate an Elle's Studio journaling tag.

Also got to use up some of my stash on this one as most of the papers came from my scrap pile.  A little piecing, a little generational stamping (coffee stain image is second generation), and a little stitching.

We are back to work/school today.  Hopefully all goes well.  I think the girls are still a little short on sleep from New Year's Eve.  We always spend that evening with my friend Shannon and her family.  This year we went to the Japanese Steakhouse - Carina's first time, and her reactions were fantastic - and then watched Despicable Me 2.  We had the girls to bed by 11, but that is way late for them.  Wish us luck!

Supplies Used
Paper/Cardstock:  MME - Six by Six My Favorite Things; PTI - Kraft Cardstock; CTMH - White Daisy and Cocoa Cardstock
Stamps:  Paper Smooches - Cyber Cafe
Ink:  CTMH - Cocoa
Other:  Elle's Studio - Serendipity Large/Medium Journaling Tags; Sewing Machine; Tombow - Mono Adhesive

  12. Oh, how I miss my coffee! This is ever so pretty, Miriam! Hope you had a good start back to work/school for the new year. We were back to it Thursday as well. Adina was in bed by 8:30 pm on New Year's Eve, but my big kiddo talked me into staying up. I convinced him to take a nap on Wednesday afternoon, though. So, our start went well and was just the right amount of time to get back in the swing of things for this week :).
