Sunday Stamps...Twins!

Happy Sunday Stampers! Happy Sunday to you! Ah...the first Sunday of June! Can't believe it! The new Stampin' Catalog officially starts tomorrow!  Can't wait!

We have a fun new Sunday Stamps color challenge for you starting today!  Remember, our challenge runs for two weeks!  This color challenge stumped me for awhile but after seeing the creations from my fellow Sunday Stamp designers, I was inspired!  I hope it will inspire you as well.

Here is how I how I used our colors for today's card:

I've been having so much fun using this brand new stamp set, Something for Baby and the coordinating framelits, Baby's First. Now, I personally don't know anyone who is having twins, but I thought the sentiment was perfect for my card. The base of my card is Bermuda Bay layered with Sahara Sand. 

Thanks for stopping by today! Until next time!

Nacho Hello!

Happy Tuesday Stampers! If you had the day off yesterday for President's Day, hope you enjoyed the day off!

We, the Nachos have a fun new sketch for you this week. We can't wait to see what you create!  If you haven't had a chance to play along with us yet, I invite you to join us. Come check us out here, lots of inspiration from my fellow Nacho Designers.

Here is my take on the sketch, using the stamp sets Perfect Pennants and Gorgeous Grunge. Love all those banners! 

Inks: Bermuda Bay, Strawberry Slush and Daffodil Delight

Cardstock: Basic Black, Strawberry Slush and Whisper White

Other: Basic Black 3/4 Chevron Ribbon

Thanks for stopping by today, until next time. 

Throwback Thursday!

Hello Stampers! I have another Throwback Thursday creation to share with you.  I'm featuring retired Stampin' Up! sets that I own in my Throwback Thursday posts. Today I'm featuring the stamp set called "Express Yourself" and I'm so happy that I kept this stamp set! I also can't wait to pair it with the stamp set "Perfect Blend", the sentiments will work great with the coffee cup!

Here is what I created:

I came across a new blog challenge, The Card Concept and their color combination inspired me. The Stampin' Up! colors I used are: Crumb Cake (Kraft), Blushing Bride (Pink), Very Vanilla (Vanilla) and Early Espresso (Espresso).  I love pairing Blushing Bride with Early Espresso, very soft colors.
I used the Shabby Chic style for my card. It's a great blog challenge and I look forward to playing along with them again. Trying out different stamping styles is a great way for me to get out of my comfort zone when creating.

I also used the sketch from Try Stampin' On Tuesday blog challenge for my card, gotta love those banners! 

Thanks for stopping by today! Until next time my friends!

Happy Birthday Holly E.

Hello Stampers!  Hope your week is going well. Happy Wednesday to all of you. Hope your week is going well.


Today I want to do a big birthday shot out to Holly E. who's birthday is this month! Happy Birthday!! While I've never met Holly in person, she is awesome paper crafter and designer!  Plus she is the creator of various blog challenges!  Hope you have a wonderful birthday month Holly!

So, when I saw the challenge at Friday Mashup! I knew I couldn't miss the opportunity to play along. Holly is hosting this week's challenge.

Here's your Mashup Challenge:

1. Create a project with "Twine."
2. Create a "Birthday Themed" project. 
3. Or Mash it Up and create a "Birthday Project with some Twine."

I also used the sketch that Mary Jo created from Techno Stamper. This is a fun sketch and I think I'll be using again.

Here is what I created for both challenges:

I still have a lot of Pool Party bakers twine and I figured this was a perfect project to use it on.  It worked out well for me to create two coordinating projects. Hope you like them Holly!

Thanks for stopping by today!  Until next time.

Make a Nacho Wish!

Happy Tuesday Stampers!  Can it really already be the 14th of January???  WOW! Hope you're having fun! I sure am!

We have a fun new color challenge for you at Nacho Average Challenges. I hope you get a chance to check out my fellow Nacho Designers creations for this challenge. Lots of inspiration!

I decided to make a birthday card, because you can never have enough birthday cards, right! I was inspired to create this card after seeing a similar card in our demonstrator only magazine. Love the design and easy to do. 

Thanks for stopping by today, have a great day!  Until next time. 

Perfect Pennants

Morning Stampers! Hope your week is going well.  This past weekend as I was getting ready for my sideline team meeting with Rhonda Morgan, I was browsing various blog challenges for inspiration on what to create for our team swap.

I came across this great sketch from Karen Giron from The Sweetest Thing/Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge and I wanted to play along. I think this is my first time playing along with her! Thanks Karen for the inspiration.

 Here is my take on the sketch. I love the way it turned out! Lots of layers and texture and the sentiment from Perfect Pennants works great!

I had to create eight duplicate cards, so once I got the design down, it was easy to repeat and go. 

I'll share the swaps I received from my Monday night meeting later this week.

Thanks for stopping by, until next time.
