A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away....LOL! (I couldn't resist!) Welcome to the Starving Artistamps New Release Blog Hop celebrating the release of their new set

DoodleFactory Final Frontier!!

I'm sooo excited to able to hop with Tracey, Irene and the design team!

I had a ton of fun coloring up these cute spaceships, robots, aliens and planets!! Any chance to use a bunch of glitter and sparkle is a good thing! :) I used this week's Card Pattern's #37 sketch for this first card.

The Cuttlebug Spots and Dots embossing folder makes for a great crater effect on cards! Look how HUGE that planet earth is!! And the cutest astronaut I've ever seen! I borrowed Get Sketchy's #10 sketch for this layout. Can you believe I didn't use any designer paper on this card?! The background was sponged with inks.

This next card uses this week's Weekend Sketch Challenge #102 for it's layout and the what might be your home if you lived on Mars! :) Vork might even be your neighbor! LOL

These next cards are what's known as scraplings and they're supposed to be created from leftover cardstock (not these ones though!). I colored up the larger aliens and fun robots from the Final Frontier set and made some name plaques out of them. Wouldn't they look awesome on table set up for a Outer Space themed birthday?!?

Thank you sooo much for stopping by, now it's time to head on over to the super talented Lori Tecler's blog for your next stop.
