'Tis the Season Sketch

Happy Thursday Stampers! Hope your week is going well.  We have a new challenge for you over at our Tis' The Season blog challenge. Come check us out and create with us!

Below is how our sketch inspired me:

I know this only happens to me, lol, but I had started with something else in mind and it didn't come out the way I planned. Oh well...I'll keep trying. :) Thanks for stopping by today! Until next time. 

Nacho Balloons

Good morning Stampers! Hope your week is going well.  We have a new Nacho Sketch  to inspire you this week, we hope you will join us and create with us this week. Make sure you check out our main blog so you can see what my fellow designers created.

Below is how the sketch inspired me:

I did some masking on my balloons, forgot how easy that technique is. The colors I used are Crushed Curry, Bermuda Bay and Tangelo Twist. The small strips of DSP are from the Birthday Bash Speciality DSP. 

I also want to apologize to you, my fellow blog readers. I haven't been as active posting on the blog as I would like to be.  Continuing to balance everything going on right now in my life such as planning my wedding and balancing two jobs, on top of my personal life. My creativity is taking a hit and I thank you for your patience. My commitment to the blog for now is to post on Tuesdays and Thursdays. As things get completed, I know I will come back and post more often. 

Thanks for stopping by today. Until next time.

This week's color challenge is different shades of blue with a neutral and some sparkle. I'm really liking that I'm getting a head start on my Christmas cards this year. Wouldn't you like to be ahead as well? Join us with your creation.

The Stampin' Up! colors I used are Baja Breeze, Pacific Point, Pool Party, Smoky Slate and Whisper White. I didn't include a sentiment just yet, as I wanted to leave it blank for now.

Di's Country INKers April Blog Hop

Hello friends! Welcome to another edition of Di's Country INKers blog hop! Can't believe it is already April 1st-that is no joke! This year is going by fast. If you are just stopping by, you just finished visiting Barb's Blog, wasn't her project super cute! And did you see our cute blog buttons for this month's theme? Adorable. No need to guess what our theme is this month.

So for my project today, I once again created a simple card, seems to my MO lately. But sometimes simple is good. The stamp set is Love is Kindness from the Occasions Catalog. I finally inked it up, this was a stamp set we got at Spring Fling back in February, but I was unable to attend because I was sick. I will definitely be inking it up more.

Up next is Crystal.  Can't wait to see what beautiful project she has in store for us.

If you get lost, don't worry, below are all the links to everyone's blogs. Please show them some blog love and leave them some nice comments. Thanks for stopping by today! Until next time.
