More Sunday Stamps

Happy Sunday Stampers! Hope you are enjoying your Memorial Day weekend! We've been having really nice weather in Phoenix the last couple of days. I'm enjoying it while I can, as I know the hot weather is just around the corner.

Thanks to all of you who have been playing along with us at Sunday Stamps using our sketch during our bi-weekly challenge.  There is still time for you to join us if you haven't played along yet.

Using our sketch, I created another card using several items that will be retiring later this week. 

I realize now that it's difficult to read the sentiments on the chevron oval, but it reads "Dream, Create, Inspire" from the Loving Thoughts stamp set. The chevron oval is from the Oh, Hello stamp set and one of my favorites DSP from the Occasions catalog is the Kaleidoscope DSP. What about you, what stamps sets, tools or accessories from the Annual Catalog and Occasions catalog are you going to miss?

Thanks for stopping by today!  Until next time.

Fab Friday Challenge...on a Saturday

Hello stampers!  Hope your weekend is going well.  It was a busy and fun Saturday for me.  I have been wanting to participate in the wonderful blog challenges from the Fab Friday blog.  I came across their blog challenge for the new year here and I knew I wanted to try it out.  The challenge for the new year is a sketch and the idea for my card came to me last night as I was getting ready to go to sleep, does that ever happen to you?  Anyhow, here is the sketch:

And since I have been liking the faux tearing technique, this is what I came up with:

I have a confession though, this is the FIRST time I inked up the Papillion Potpourri stamp set! I know, crazy.  But it worked out better because of the NEW Bitty Butterfly punch that coordinates with this stamp set.  Love items that coordinate.  The other NEW item on my card is the Needlepoint Border textured impressions embossing folder.  OMG, it is so cute and it comes with two folders!  Both the punch and the embossing are available in the Spring Catalog.   The sentiment is from the Loving Thoughts stamp set, available in the annual catalog.  I love the shimmer on the card!

Sorry this is a short post my friends.  It's getting late and my comfy bed is calling me so I can dream of more card creations.  Thanks again for stopping by.

Until next time.
