School is Cool at YNS!



Its the 22nd and the kids have been back in school for two weeks now so our theme today at YNS for Feature Day is: School is Cool!

I used a stamp set I have had for awhile but LOVE and it is called A+ Owl Banner. It is a great little set especially if you have kids, or enjoy making teacher/student gifts !
I made a little book mark with the set and Circle, Rectangle and Stitched dies. Then I used the Stitched fishtail banner tags one die set to make a tag for a hot chocolate mug!

The bookmark has little magnets on the inside so you can secure it to your pages!

Heres a pic of the A+ Banner Set! So cute right?!


 Check out the YNS Blog and see what all the other DT members have made!
And remember.....comment on the YNS Blog for a chance to WIN a stamp set of your choice!!
Enjoy!

Your Next Stamp's Sketch and Challenge Day!


Its a GREAT morning today becuase....Its my BIRTHDAY today and its another
 Filled Friday at Your Next Stamp!
We have a new Colour and Sketch Challenge starting today and it has a great fall coloured theme and sketch!

 I have been spending a lot of time lately playing with a new watercolour paint set I got! I masked the watercolour paper and used paints to make a background instead of cardstock. Then I cut these cute little images from the new stamp set called "Perk Up" and coloured them with Copic markers.
To finish it all off I doodled around the edge and added gumdrops!

All those coffee lovers out there you are going to LOVE this stamp set I used! It is called: Perk Up.
 I also used the fun matching die set and the new Candy Corn Gumdrops!



Be sure to join in the fun and share your own creation inspired by either the sketch or the colors OR both! Check out the YNS Blog for all the details and you could win a gift certificate!
Have a great weekend!

All about the ABC's!

Its all about the ABC's today at YNS! I know the kids just went back to school but... Not THOSE ABC's.....its ANYTHING BUT A CARD for the Design Team Challenge today!
I love it when we are challenged and I enjoy making fussy, fancy things like boxes, bows...my friends think I am weird but I enjoy every minute of figuring it out!
For this challenge I made a treat bag with a topper!
YNS has made it VERY easy to do this and it is not fussy at all and SO much fun to create!

I used the brand new Waddles Trick or Treat set to go with the Treat Topper Die!



 Join Us at the YNS Blog, comment and you could win a great prize!
