A first "Chic Challenge"...

Hello Stampers! Happy Wednesday. Hope your week is going well.  I'm trying to get my blog mojo back and blogging more consistently. I came across a cool sketch from following Erica Cerwin's Art Inspiration Pinterest board. It then lead to a new blog challenge site called Chic Challenges and I recognize some of the design team members. Check out their creations here. I knew I wanted to play along!

So this is my take on their sketch.  I love the way it turned out. I'm loving the current Epic Day This and That bundle, especially the washi tape!! So glad Stampin' Up! is offering this. The designs from the designer series paper are so fresh! I love it! Combining it with items from the Spring Catalog is so much fun right now!

The Epic Day This and That has a vintage feel to it so I sponged a lot of crumb cake onto the very vanilla, calypso coral, pool party-well everywhere!  I also used a new stamp set that will be featured in the new 2013-2014 Annual Catalog, it's called A Round Array! It is the cutest stamp set and it coordinates with the 7/8 scallop punch. You can purchase the new stamp set right now until May 30, 2013.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I love reading your comments so let me know what you think about the new upcoming products.  Until next time my stamping friends! 

Kindness Matters

Hello Stampers!  I'm super excited to share with you my creation for our Sunday Stamps challenge this week.  Hayley is our host this week and she has a cool sketch for your inspiration.  This is a fun sketch to show off some of your favorite dsp. Come and play along with us this week and check out what my fellow Sunday Stamps designers have created.

Are you scratching your head trying to figure which current dsp this is? Well, it's not in the current annual catalog or the spring catalog because it's a new product line that will debut in the new 2013-2014 Annual Stampin' Up! Catalog. So excited, it's from the new line called This and That and you can purchase the entire bundle now until April 30th.  If you purchase it now, you save 15% off the entire bundle. So don't miss out.  You can shop directly from my online store. I love the colors in this collection. I can't believe that in just two months we'll have a brand new catalog with all new dsp collections.

Another cool thing that is brand new is the washi tape, I used the crumb cake one. It's so fun to use and it was easy to create the ruffles with it. You get 3 different colors for less than $5! Check out this cool video showcasing more products from this bundle.
