Treehouse September Sneak Peek!

All I have to say is "WOW" to the upcoming release from Treehouse Stamps. I just wish there was more time to play with all the images! Here's a card I made using "Monkey Business" - available at Treehouse Stamps on its release date of September 1st! It has awesome sentiments, and I've needed to remind myself to "hang in there" a lot over the past few weeks so in a way, this card is for me! I also played along with the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge #68 for this card, sort of a combination of the two sketches.

Cowboy Up

I've always liked that saying "Cowboy Up" - especially when I feel like I've been bucked off a horse a few times. That's what I've been feeling...and telling myself. These are the last two days of summer for us - with two kiddos starting back to school on Wednesday (a kindergartner and a second grader). The heat here isn't helping either - 17 days in a row of 100+ temps, and more up to 105/106 with heat indexes well above 110. My kids even said at the pool the other day "mom, the water is like wet air." And they are right!

Anyways, to be mean, I'm going to say that Treehouse Stamps has yet another great month of releases coming up! But you'll have to check back later for that. I know - I'm mean!

But in the meantime, here's another card I made using "Cowboy Kid" from Treehouse Stamps' last release. Love all these fun images!

August's Guest Designer Contest

Although I'm a few days late, I wanted to share with you the August Guest Designer Contest for Treehouse Stamps. It's simple, fun, and if you've ever wanted to see what it would be like to be on a design team, this is your perfect opportunity! After all, it's how I became on the Design Team with Treehouse Stamps.

The image this month is A-dorable! At first, I'll admit to being a little intimidated by the size and shape of the image - but once I started coloring, I absolutely LOVE it! Here's my sample -

Visit the Treehouse Blog on this post here to get all the details, including the digital image for FREE! And hey, leave me a comment and let me know you've played along!

Happy Release Day To Treehouse Stamps

Today is Treehouse Stamps August Release Day. Although I've been at my parents for the month, when I saw the images I couldnt' wait to get home to play with them. For some reason, Halloween is one of my favorite card making/scrapbooking/quilting theme. And this months release has so many cute images to play with for Halloween. I'll be posting more as I get some good light to take pictures and some time to finish the cards.

Anyways, I used the Candy Corn Gal from the August Release, along with a cute sentiment! I added some sparkle to the candy corn...and found some fun buttons to put on the card (warning: extra postage required!). Here's my card

And be sure to check out the Treehouse Store to find all the other great images that Ashley came up with this month. Love 'em all!
