New challenge at Stamp and Create!!!

It's September (can you believe it?!?)!!!!  September is one of my favorite months.  Grace will be turning eight (can you believe it?!?  Because I sure can't...hard to believe she'll be eight and here I am, still 29!)!  The temps cool off...the jeans come out...the razor gets put away (sorry, too much info?  Lol!). 

And to go along with this great month we have a fantastic new challenge over at Stamp and Create! 

The September Monthly Challenge is:
Birthdays

On random participant will win a $25 Gift Certificate to Stamp and Create.

Here is my creation using the adorable Birthday Anya 3:

Ok, a word about her hair!  I have been obsessed with how my friend Rosie colors her Anyas' hair!  Luckily for me she shares which Copic colors she uses: E49, E47 and E44.  If you want to check out the image I used as inspiration, here she is.  Be sure to leave Rosie some love!  Girlfriend is soooo talented (and just as nice as she is gifted!)!

Alright, get that birthday paper out and come join us at Stamp and Create for our birthday challenge!!!!  And be sure to pop by my teammates blogs as they are SO amazing! 

Happy Monday and I can't wait to see what you create for us at Stamp and Create!

Candy at Stamp and Create!

Now that the craziness of summer is over (big sigh!), Lacey at Stamp and Create is starting the Weekly Candy back up.
She went through some of her Stampavie stamps and noticed that a few have turned yellow.
Over the next few weeks, she's going to offer a two-stamp candy with these yellowed stamps.

This week's candy is:

Baby Fairy Flora from Mo Manning and Fiona from Gillian Roberts

They are un-used stamps and are in perfect working order,
it's just the clear stamp material has yellowed.

Here is one of my FAVE new images...Book Abigail

I created this for my friend Sarah who started her first year teaching preschool last Wednesday!  Go Sarah!  ;D

Happy Monday and don't forget to head over to Stamp and Create for a chance to win some candy!
