Petal Parade...

Psst...hi Stampers! Hope your day is going well! So...our internet at home is acting up again so I'm blogging from my "other job" and I feel like I have to sneak off to blog, lol.  My post will be quick today in case my boss is looking for me! :) Wouldn't that be funny! 

I have a new creation to share with you today, I came across it at the Unscripted Sketches blog, which you can check out here. This is my first time playing along with them, but I'm sure I'll be playing along again. 

Here is my take on the sketch, this is the front of the card. I combined two stamp sets for the flower, Petal Parade and Best of Sale-a-Bration. Really like how the center came out. 

I also decorated the inside of my card, following the sketch. I didn't include a sentiment because I wasn't sure what to include, so I figure, don't have to include it now.  When I'm ready to give this card away I can decide then what sentiment to include. What about you, do you ever create cards with no sentiments?

Another take my card, showing both the front and inside of my card.

Thanks for stopping by today! Until next time! :) 

Best of Snow

Happy Sunday Stampers! Let me first extend a huge thank you to all 26 of you who joined us for our past Sunday Stamps sketch!  What an awesome response to the sketch I designed!  Thank you!  I hope you will all continue to join us with your creations!

We have a new challenge starting today, a color one.  I'm inspired by the creations of my fellow designers, such a talented group of women I have the honor of designing with!

Yesterday I had a workshop/class with my friends, Gwen, Gloria and Elizabeth A. It was fun!  They are advanced stampers and I showed them some new tricks and tips!  I showed them various ways to use the Card Base Pop 'n Cuts.  For my card today, I made an easel card. I also used the new stamp set called Best of Snow, it's part of the Best of 25 Years series.  Such a cute set.

Here are all the images from this set.  I can't wait to color the hedgehog! Or is it a porcupine? :) 

Thanks for stopping by today, until next time. 

Halloween Boo!

Hello Stampers....happy Wednesday!

Am I excited to share with you today! These week at Dynamic Duos the color challenge has a dessert option of Halloween! Even though my Halloween decorations are not up (yet), Halloween is on my mind with the various Halloween cards I've been making lately.

So you ask, what you are excited to share? Well, exciting for me because I found a different way to use one of my Tags 4 You stamp set, the Trick of Treat one.  I love how the Morning Post Alphabet works great with the Label Bracket punch! YAY!  I know, wow, big deal, lol, but when it comes to stamping supplies, finding a different way to use my tools is a big highlight. So now, I have four more designs that I can use with that stamp set! 

I kept the front design of my card simple. What no ribbon, buttons, bling? Nope, just a simple BOO will do...

...because the inside of my card is the scariest! Watch out for the ghost! Well maybe it's not so scary after all.

Thanks for stopping by today and entertaining my excitement! Until next time!  

Sunday Stamps Color!

Happy Sunday Stampers!  Welcome back.  I'm back today with a new Sunday Stamps creation. For the next two weeks, we have a beautiful color challenge for you to play with.  My fellow Sunday Stamps Designers will inspire you with their creations.  Come check us out and play along with us.

I've been getting lots of use out of my Woodgrain Embossing Folder, it's one of my favorites! I made a square frame with the squares collection framelits, lots of possibilities with them. I used Early Espresso for my brown and I also had the coordinating embossing powder. I inked up the Happy Thanksgiving sentiment from Tags 4 You and punched it out with the label bracket punch. Simple card that you can change out the main image and the sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by today, until next time.
