Take Care...Monday

Happy Monday Stampers! Can't believe this is the last week of May! By Monday next week a new Stampin' Up! catalog will be live and everyone will be able to order from it! So many wonderful new things in it! It's going to be a fun Stampin' Up! catalog year!

The designers at Stampin' Celebration have a great sketch that inspired me to create today.  And this week, the designers at The Friday Mashup! have a great theme-creating a project with trees and/or heat or dry embossing.

Here is how I combined both blog challenges into one card: 

Other than the Whisper White card stock, Baked Brown Sugar ink pad and Banner Punch, everything I used on my card is retiring.  

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Stop by tomorrow as I share a new creation featuring a new Nacho challenge!

New Sunday Stamps Sketch

Hello Stampers! So sorry for my late post for our current Sunday Stamps sketch.  Hope you had a wonderful Easter yesterday.  We hosted Easter at our house and we were super busy!  It was quite a feast! So my Sunday Stamps post is up on a Monday! :)

Anyhow, Hayley has a fun new sketch for us to try out. We hope it inspires you to create along with us!

Here is what I created:

I used the Retro Fresh Designer Journaling Tags in a different way, I just cut them out! 

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Until next time!

Monday Night Stamping with Sketch Frenzy Friday

Hello Stampers! Hope your Monday night is going well.  I'm back today with a new creation inspired by the sketch over at Sketch Frenzy Friday. Even though it's a Monday, I'm already wishing it was Friday. So while I wait, the next best thing is to play along with the designers at Sketch Frenzy Friday. Check them out if you have a chance.

Here is my take on the sketch:

I can't get enough of this DSP! I love it, but I'm trying to use it as much as I can. As I've been mentioning lately, trying to use up my supplies before the new catalog arrives! Oh the anticipation! I'm also happy that the Banner Punch will be carried over into the new catalog. So at least I know I can keep using it even though Sale-a-Bration is now over. Anyhow, hope your have a nice evening!

Thanks for visiting my blog today, until next time! 

Nacho Ampersand

Happy Tuesday Nachos!  Hope your week is going well. Back today with a new Nacho Average Challenge, this week it's a color challenge. Lots of different inspiration from my fellow Nacho Designers with this color combination! Hope it sparks some inspiration for you to join us for this challenge.

Here is what I created with this color challenge, a simple wedding card. When I first saw the new Ampersand Textured Impressions Embossing Folder from the new Occasions catalog I knew I had to have it. I ran it through my Big Shot with some Sweet Sorbet DSP from the new Sale-A-Bration catalog (which is live today!!) and there are so many awesome things in it! I know I will be playing with this embossing folder more. 

We can't wait to see what you create! Hope you will join us. Thanks for stopping by today. Until next time. 

Sunday Stamps Banner Love

Happy Sunday Stampers! Ready to play along with a new sketch at Sunday Stamps? I'm hosting for the next two weeks and I'm continuing my love of banners. We hope it'll inspire you to play along with us, we can wait to see what you create.

Here is what I created: 

A slight variation on my sketch, but that's the fun in creating. My card base is Blushing Bride layered with Read Red card stock. Just in time for Valentine's Day. 

Thanks for stopping by. Until next time.

Follow My Heart...

TGIF Stampers! So glad it's Friday! It's been a long week, work wise but a fun week creative wise. I have a new card to share with you today.  I used the Follow My Heart stamp set and combined it with Perfect Pennants. Love it!

The base of my card is Coastal Cabana, layered with Crumb Cake. Did you know that the Banner Punch, which isn't available until the Sale-a-Bration catty, January 28 coordinates with the mini XOXO banner stamp! Gotta love it when our Stampin' Up! products coordinate so well!

Below are the rest of the images in the Follow My Heart stamp set: 

Thanks for stopping by today! Come back tomorrow as I have swaps from the new Occasions Catalog to share with you. 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.

Nacho Sketch

Happy Tuesday Stampers!  We have a fun new sketch for you at Nacho Average Challenges, we hope it will inspire you to play along with us! We love seeing what you create! You have until Sunday, January 12, 2014 at midnight to link up your creation.

Here is my take on the sketch:

Can you tell which DSP from the new Occasions catalog is my favorite right now! I'll have a to get a new stack soon. 

Thanks for stopping by today.  Until next time!

Techno Stamper Sketch

Happy Sunday Stampers! Hope your weekend is going well.  So far so good, we went to a Rockabilly show yesterday and my good friend won 3rd place in the Pinup contest.  I still have to put away all my Christmas decorations and tree away,  but I probably won't do that until next weekend. I woke up today feeling a bit under the weather so I've just been lounging and resting but I hope I don't get sick.

Anyhow, Mary Jo from Tecnho Stamper has a great sketch that I wanted to create with. Lots of possibilities with this one but definitely a great one for Valentine's Day! 

Here is my take on the sketch. Not quite Valentine's Day but the colors are, lol.

I'm loving the Fresh Prints DSP Stack! Love the DSP designs in it. Thanks for stopping by today, until next time.

New Sunday Stamps Sketch

Happy Sunday Stampers! I've missed my Sunday Stampers! We have a fun new sketch for you at Sunday Stamps starting today, the last Sunday of 2013! Can you believe it friends, wow, 2014 is around the corner. Hope you ring in the new year by playing along with us and sharing your creations with us!

I'm loving the Best of Sale-A-Bration stamp set, which is part of the Best of 25 Years Series. Great variety of stamps. My color combo for my card is Coastal Cabana, Strawberry Slush and Crisp Cantaloupe.

Thanks for stopping by today, until next time. 

Nacho Love!

Happy Tuesday everyone! Hope your week is going well.  The Nachos have a new sketch for you to play along with us this week. Come check us out and hope the sketch inspires you to join us.

Here is my take on the sketch:

Valentine's Day??  Yes, indeed. I believe Valentine's Day should be every day, as should Christmas, but that's a discussion for another day.  This card has some sneak peeks from the upcoming 2014 Occasions catalog, which will begin on January 3, 2014 and from the 2014 Sale-A-Bration catalog, which will begin on January 28, 2014.  Can you guess what's new? 

Thanks for stopping by today, until next time!
