TAWS Aug Blog hop win all 3 sets

It's that time again! I just love the blog hops! If you came from the Alley Way Stamps blog you are on the right track. If not then head over there to start :) 
I don't know about you, but I just LOVE Halloween!! I mean I LOVE it! So with that in mind I had to make a set (and a mini set) for this awesome holiday.. I happened to use the set for my card.. it's called Bumps in the Night
.. It features this cute little Zombie dude with nothing more than BRAINS on his mind.. lol :) 
... here is a little close up of the fun details.. :) 
So I have been helping my son Stretch work on his Eagle Project for Scouts. We as a family spent 6hrs going house to house in our neighborhood measuring  figuring things out, etc.. when I got home I totally spaced the blog hop card.. then while I was eating dinner.. I jumped up, and said.."I have to make my card for tomorrow!" everyone thought it was so funny!! I guess I kind of scared them.. anyways.. I hope you all are having an awesome week.. 
Here is the blog hop order.. Next on your stop is the amazing Anni (click on her pic)

TAWS July Blog Hop :) Win all 3 sets!

EEK!! Can you tell that I am SUPER excited to start this hop! When creating this fun Learning Curve set I wanted to give you a bus and a backpack.. but there just wasn't room with everything else I had planned. Soo.. While drawing the "bus" I had a thought.. what if I could make it look like a backpack if you turned it over.. and then.. that's just what I did.. so my first little card is using the "bus" image.. well as the bus..

I wanted to give the buss the illusion that it was driving off.. so I put it up on some pop dots..
For my second card I wanted to show you how I thought it would be fun to use the "bus" as the backpack. 
So here it is..
I also took a bunch of the images from the set and made my own background paper. I love the tone on tone look. I did some masking and also a lot of copic coloring to get the colors I wanted.. I cut the white circle with all the images on it using a spellbinders circle die. I wanted to have some "off the page"  look to it also so I made sure to cut those out a bit then put the die behind it before I did the circle cut.
One fun thing this month is that TAWS will be featuring a few ways to use some Trendy Twine.. since we were given some to play with. I had to use the Stormy color.. it's one of my favorites! I added a little bit of glossy accents to the top of the calculator and the worms glasses.. I hope you all are having a wonderful day..
-Check out the video for a special sneak peek ;) 

Look at the awesome set you get this month.. if you spend 40$ or more :) so fun!!


Well next on your hop is Arielle..

TAWS blog hop :)

OKay so here is my creation.. I used the adorable, fun, and great kit coming out tonight with all the other stamps. I just love the paper pad, these wood veneer and this Deep in the Woods set together. 
I used a C1 copic marker to go around each star to give it a "glow" 
feeling.. I also colored each star with a yellow copic, & added 
some glossy accents so they just pop off the card. 
I for sure wanted my big foot to feel BIG.. I am so glad I drew some 
"little" mountains in the background. I used the paper pad from this months 
kit for all the patterned paper you see here.. It is just the perfect colors for 
these outdoor creations.. Of course I had to use some of my favorite 
Trendy Twine to "tie" it all together :) 
I just wanted to show you the dimension of this card. I made the grass 
using my Martha Stewart scissors, and popped up one mountain and the
 Bigfoot/Sasquatch to give it even more interest..

Here is your hop order.. if you get lost come back to the blog 
to get on your way again :)
