It's time for a new challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More!!!
It's Photo Inspiration week and here's the colorful photo:

I used white cardstock and patterned papers.
I hand-wrote the names on strips of white cardstock and adhered them on the cards.
Then, I added the glittery foam stickers.

Happy Monday and welcome to another FCCB Monday challenge!

Background was created with watercolors and Faber-Castell gel sticks (aka Gelatos for kids), and stamps.
Mermaid was colored with Copic markers and I added some glitter glue. I adhered her using foam tape.
Finally, I added a flower vase sticker, and colored it with Copic markers to match the colors.

I was trying to post this on Thu, but YouTube and Blogger kept crashing on me...but here it is!

I made a video tutorial for Altenew's Video Challenge #1!

Here's my card:


It was inspired by mu husband...no, not because he "giraffe-s" me crazy!!! Because he's tall!!! =)
YouTube was "giraffe"-ing me crazy!

OK, enough puns!
Here's my video:


I used giraffe and sentiment from Geometric Menagerie (Altenew), white and clear embossing powders, VersaMark, gel sticks (aka Gelatos for kids), baby wipe (to blend), foam tape, black and white cardstocks.

I'd also like to link it in the following Challenges:

Have a nice weekend!

I found the lids at the dollar bins at Target and got 2 for my kids. The jars are from my mother-in-law. Since they are the same, I decided to identify them with tags...with my kids' initials. I know...B is not for Dog, and N is not for truck! =)

For the tags, I stamped and embossed a striped background in clear. 
Using gel sticks (aka Gelatos for kids) in 2 different colors, I blended them with baby wipe.
I added some more stamping.
I stamped B and N, cut them out and adhered them with foam tape.
The dog is from Boys Will Be Boys Cricut cartridge and was colored with Copics.
The truck is CTMH...I stamped it twice, once in black and then green. I cut out the green truck and adhered with foam tape on the black image.
Finally, I attached them to the jars with baker's twine.

If you're still with me...
I showed the tags to my kids and I said to B:
"I used a dog because you love dogs, right?"
To which he replied:
"No, I don't love dogs anymore...I love planets!"

Planets it is...maybe next time!!!

Thanks for stopping by!
