YNS Summer Fun After Party!

 I hope you joined us for our June release blog hop! If not you still have time! Here's a couple of teasers to get you going. Above is Austin, I get a kick out of the fish jumping out of his bucket. He's a real cutie if your adding to your summer stamps.

For me he's year round, one of the perks of living in a hot climate.  New this month too are some fantastic Summer Dies. They are a must have. Both are available now at the YNS Store.

 

Summer officially began a couple of days ago, and it certainly rolled in super hot! Perfect beach weather!

 

 

Don't forget the great discounts Karen is offering, it ends today so head on over! Take a hop below for some more inspiration and teasers!

Last chance for Tasty at YNS

It's Tuesday! Technically Monday for most of the US since many got to enjoy the three day weekend. I had a great weekend. I got so much Spring cleaning done and still got to enjoy pool time and bbq's.  I'm looking forward to having my week confused by the extra day off and a short week.

Today is the last chance to join this month's Tasty Tuesday over at the  YNS blog. Here is my take on the inspiration picture. I used Birds on Wire from this month's new release. I also used Clouds die and the Skinny Alpha Font. Love that font set! Love all the clear new sets!

Don't forget to stop by the YNS blog and see what the rest of the DT team has to inspire! Join us too and join the chance to win some goodies.

YNS May After Release Party!

Yeah it's Friday!! and it's a three day weekend!! Whoot Whoot!! Today I'm sharing the another great image from YNS in our After Release Party!

This is Zach. He is quite a golfer. I was never much for golf until I moved to Florida. Now I surprise myself when I know the players and actually watch it on TV!! But I have to know...why is thier clothing so odd. Plaid pants and white shoes, matching pastel shirts!

Zach isn't wearing any pants but I certainly thought he should wear plaid so I paper pieced his belly. My Dad has become a golf fan too. So this will be a perfect Father's day card this year. I'm sure it will make him smile.

Make sure you return to the YNS blog, there you will find links to the rest of the DT and all the great After Release Party inspiration!

Have a great weekend!

Pinwheel Fun

 Hello bloggy friends, here we are with another Tasty Tuesday inspiration for Your Next Stamp. No coloring  this time but some die cut fun instead. How cool are the new Pinwheel Dies at Your Next Stamp. I have big plans for this die, they are the perfect size for cupcake toppers and more! The sentiment comes from the newly released What Not Sentiments. I told you Karen was on fire with all the great new releases!!

This a really fun inspiration photo. I love bright colors! I'm sure you can come up with tons of great ideas. I will be back later this month to show you one more! Along with more new stamps releasing too. Mark your calendar for May 22nd! But for now come on over to the YNS Blog and join us this Tasty Tuesday!

Summer Fun around the Corner!

 It's only a matter of weeks before all the munchkins are out and the beach and pool become a major staple in this house. I definitely have two fishes and I can't blame them, it gets hot way before the hot "months" like August come around. I love it and so do they.

This image is me, Snorkel Fun Penguin, LOL!!! I don't need the tubbie except for some serious lounging around after a long week at work. I'm ready for the water and some serious summer fun!

That's our theme over at YNS Fun Friday! We are celebrating SUMMER!!! Come join us this Friday with your Summer fun! Last week we introduced some great clear stamp sentiments and I have included another one in my card today. I love the new Cute Critter Circles. You really need to check these out!

Karen has been on a roll with some amazing new stamps! And this month is no exception! Don't forget to come back on May 22nd. We always have fun on our blog hops and prizes too!!

Don't forget to visit our YNS Blog for more Summer Fun! Happy Friday!

It's Spring at Your Next Stamp!

 Happy Friday! I know I have been a little slow in posting lately. Well I have been playing catch up at home and work and I hate to admit it I lost a little of my Mojo. But no worries a few new purchases of  stamps and paper and I am excited to say my Mojo is returning and I have been coloring these last few days. Now I have too many ideas racing through my head! Which is a good thing because next week Your Next Stamp is bringing you a new release this month! I should say that is what brought my Mojo back because what is coming is soooo stinkin cute and fun! You are going to love it!

 Today I bring you our FUN FRIDAY challenge. The theme is Spring Fling and I bring you soft spring colors and Ellie! This is the newly released Ellie loves Birds. She is just so sweet! I matched her up with Boho Chic paper and colored of course in Copic pens.

I hope she inspires you to come join us for FUN FRIDAY and stop by our YNS Blog to see  what the rest of the Design team has to inspire! Don't forget to come back on Tuesday to start the week off with a Sneak Peek!

 I hope everyone is having a great end of week! Sadly it's the end of Spring Break and I'm still away with my munchkins enjoying it to the very end, but on Monday it's back to school and soon it will be Teacher Appreciation week. So this Fun Friday at Your Next Stamp the theme is Celebrations who better to celebrate but a Teacher!

The sentiment is from the new set released earlier this month called Whatnots Sentiments Set One and the sweet little girl is Spectacular and she is SPECTACULAR! It's filled with pencils right now but I intend to filled it with sweets for my munchkins teacher. I also have to make one more. Luckily Spectacular is so quick and fun to color!
