Hi Everyone, Today I am honored to be guest designing for the current Traumfabrik/Dream Factory challenge . It's a challenge about  movies and the inspiration will be coming from the movie the Croots. Don't worry If you don't know the movie you could watch the trailer or just make a card with animals, funny, stone age, jungle, etc. See the movie poster below. I pulled out my F unky Fossil Designs  supplies for this card. I mixed up the set  Ditsy Dinos  and  On Safari  to create my little scene. I colored with alcohol ink markers. Part of the animals I cut out, the lion and tree are stamped directly on the card and I masked them. This is the movie poster: Supplies I used: On Safari  Ditsy Dinos I hope you liked this.

Hi Everybody!  I have a shaped card for you today. Funky Fossil Designs came out with this cute little Retro TV set , that is just sooooo adorable! It is big enough to use it alone, but you could certainly put it on a card as well.  I die cut the back twice, scored on of the cuts horizontally across the top and glued them together at the top, so it can stand on its own. I used the Midcentury Mayhem paper pad for the front of the TV. The birds are from the new set The Tweets . the fat bee is from Bugs and Blooms . Both sets are designed by Donna Gray - I am sure you immediately recognized her whimsical style. I stamped a little message inside the stamp is from  Bugs and Blooms  as well. The second TV I already showed on Instagram , but in case you don't have Instagram, I didn't want you  to miss out on the fun!

    Hi Everyone, today I am playing with some older products from  Funky Fossil Designs ! I got inspired by the Artful August challenge over on Instagram from Rachel Greig. The cue word I have chosen is "Soft". It's #4 on the list, but you can participate in any order you like and it doesn't have to be on that day. That certainly works for me! I immediately thought of the fluffy monster from the set Motley Crew . It is big, fluffy and therefore soft! I used the In the Clouds stencil for my background and some acrylic paint that I sponged on. I colored the monster with Copics and cut him out. Added the sentiment with heat embossing, as well as some patterned paper. I hope you liked this. Happy Stamping! Linking up with: Craft Rocket Challenge  - anything goes Try it on Tuesday  -
