Freshly Made Friday!

Happy Friday Stampers!  Hope your Friday is off to a great start! The designers at Freshly Made Sketches have a fun sketch. It inspired me to create a special birthday card for my friend who celebrated her 50th Birthday earlier this week. I've been having fun playing along with blog challenges this week.



Thanks for stopping by today! Have an awesome weekend!

Jar of Creativity!

Hello Stampers!  Happy Wednesday!  I'm so happy to share my creations with you  today! After seeing the sketch challenge over at Create with Connie and Mary I was inspired to spend my evening creating! Love that I'm getting a head start on my Halloween and Christmas cards. I love this sketch, simple and easy to follow.  Will definitely be using it on other cards.  Make sure you check out the blog for more inspiration with this sketch. I had fun playing along with them. Thanks again for the inspiration.


Stamp Set: Jar of Cheer
Cardstock: Cherry Cobbler, Delightful Dijon, Whisper White
Other: Emerald Envy Glitter Stampin' Embossing Powder, Wink of Stella Clear, Seasonal Decorative Masks

Stamp Set: Jar of Haunts
Cardstock: Basic Gray, Basic Black, Vellum, Whisper White
DSP: Pop of Pink
Other: Craft Whisper White Ink, Seasonal Decorative Masks
When I used the Seasonal Decorative Mask, I thought they looked like small ghosts so I had to create a Halloween card. Love how it turned it out!

Thanks for stopping by!  Have an awesome day!

Throwback Thursday, with a jar.

Happy Thursday Stampers! Hope your week is going well.  So I'm been slowly working on reorganizing my craft room, which seems like a never-ending story.  I start, I stall, and then keep working. It's a work in progress for me. I realized how much retired Designer Series Paper, accessories and other items I have. I keep telling myself that I'm going to use it all but one look through the new catalogs and I want NEW stuff. Well, when I came across the sketch challenge over at Fab Friday I was inspired to use retired products with the new stamp set Jar of Haunts. Make sure you check out the samples from the Fab Friday Designers, beautiful cards.



I used the new stamp set Jar of Haunts from the 2016 Holiday catalog. I love this stamp set! The Designer Series Paper I used on my card includes Howlstooth & Scaringbone, Typeset Speciality and Color Me Irresistible Speciality. The sentiment is from the stamp set Googly Ghouls.  This card came together very quickly for me, which is a good thing because I do plan on sending cards for Halloween.


Thanks for stopping by today!  Hope you have an awesome Thursday!
