Another Something for Baby...

Good morning Stampers! Hope your week is going well.  It's been a hot week in Phoenix!  Staying indoors spending time creating is the how I'm having fun this week.

This past Monday night we had our group meeting with Rhonda Morgan and her INKin' All Night group.  It was a small gathering but it is always fun! The theme for our swap cards was Babies and Wedding and I chose to make another baby card.  I hope you're not getting tired of seeing baby cards with the Something for Baby stamp set and the coordinating framelits! This is such a fun bundle! I'm thinking of hosting a class with this bundle, so I'll keep you posted on it.

I did follow the sketch from Hand Stamped Sentiments although I did not link up in time. I really like this sketch and will be using it to create other cards. Hopefully next time I play along with them I'll link up my card in time! 

Thanks for stopping by today, until next time my friends!

More Nacho Baby!

Hello Stampers! It's Tuesday, so that means it's another Nacho Average Challenge! My fellow Nachos and I have created a variety of projects with our color challenge. We hope it will inspire you to create with us!

I wanted to create something other than a card this week, so I decorated one of our mini muslin bag. I got a bit of halo effect when I stamped the flower onto the bag, but it has that handmade look, no?

Thanks for stopping by today, until next time!

Nacho...Bubbles!

Hello Stampers!  Happy Tuesday! We have a fun new sketch at Nacho Average Challenges for you today! Hope you have a chance to come and create with us this week!

Using a mix of NEW products from the upcoming Inspire, Create Share Catalog and and current items from the Occasions Catalog. I also used two new InColors; Hello Honey and Lost Lagoon! So many fun new things in the new catalog, can't wait for it to go live! 

Thanks for stopping by today!  Until next time! 

Crushed curry flowers...

Greetings fellow stampers!  Thanks for stopping by today, I'm hosting my first sketch challenge at Sunday Stamps this week. With spring in the air, my inspiration for my sketch was a flower planter. Although I sometimes joke that Phoenix only has two seasons, summer and hotter summer, lol.  It's been a warmer than usual weekend. Anyhow, as I mentioned last Sunday, Stampin' Up! is under going a color refresh by introducing 10 colors, some former InColors and a new color. That's on top of the five new InColors that will be introduced with the new catalog! Still with me? Okay, so I happen to still have my classic ink pads for several former InColors, which I was jumping for joy!

The flowers from the Button Buddies stamp set were inked in crushed curry. I love this color! It's a richer, bold yellow.  It might make me crave thai food more, pad thai anyone? The ribbon is retired from several catalogs ago but it worked out perfect for my card today. I used our early espresso designer buttons.

The butterfly is inked in bermuda bay, another returning InColor from past catalogs. Bermuda bay is a cooler blue, does the name take you away on vacation? I love the clever names Stampin' Up! has for our colors. 

So here is our sketch for this week. Make sure you check out the creations from my fellow designers here and I hope you play along with us. We love to see what you create. You have until Friday, April 19th at 6 pm to link up your project. 

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful Sunday!  Until next time.

Chalkboard Sunday Stamps

Hello Stampers!  Hope you are enjoying your weekend!  We have been having a lot of fun!  The weather is beautiful in Phoenix!

Thank you all for your wonderful wishes and comments during my first week as a designer on Sunday Stamps.  I'm having fun!  We have a fun sketch for you at Sunday Stamps this week and Tara is our host! Have you tried out the chalkboard technique?  I have seen several cards using this awesome technique and I wanted to try it out for the sketch.  I used colors to match the colors in my craft room as I will be displaying.

Hope you come out and play with us this week!  Come check us out here.  Thanks so much for stopping by.
