Freshly Made...Tis' The Season...Sketch

Good morning Stampers! It's almost the end of the week! Yay! Looking forward to the weekend as I hope to spend most of it creating! I have a new creation to share with you today!  This time, however, I inked up a different stamp set, thought I give Kinda Eclectic a break, lol.

The Designers over at Tis' The Season have an awesome color challenge and I combined it with sketch from Freshly Made Sketches. Amazing talent from both blogs, check them out if you have a chance!

Here is how their challenges inspired me:

I inked up Joyful Christmas again. Ever buy a holiday stamp set only to realize (for some reason) you didn't use it as much as you wanted to, initially? Well, that's my feeling with this stamp set, I want to ink it up as much as I can! Of course, it's more fun to play with it now, especially when I use our new Stampin' Blendabilities Markers! Wouldn't you know it, once I saw Rich Razzleberry as one of the colors to use, I knew I was going to be coloring! I really like how this came out but after I was done with it, and even now that I'm blogging about it, I want to step it up a bit...we'll see. 

Well, I better get going! Lots to do today! Hope you have a wonderful Thursday!  Until next time!

Sunday Stamps Pink!

Happy Sunday Stampers! Hope your weekend is going well!  It's been a busy one for me, but fun.

We have a fun new color challenge for you at Sunday Stamps starting today. Thanks to all of you who continue to play along with us, we love seeing your creations! I continue to be in awe of my fellow Sunday Stamps designers and their creations. I hope their creations inspire you to join us for this challenge.

The Stampin' Up! colors I used are; Night of Navy, Strawberry Slush and Silver Glimmer paper. This color combo inspired me to create my own stationary! It sounds elementary, but when I first saw the color combo, I didn't know what I was going to create.  Then I remembered I had created some stationary for my friend as a birthday gift and I really liked the end result.  I am a paper crafter after all, so creating stationary is another item in our paper world.  I also liked these flat front cards because, sometimes when I create a full size card I don't have that much to write. Ever have that problem?  These are perfect to send and write a quick note. I'm excited to create more of my own stationary in different colors and designs. What about you, have you ever made your own stationary? 

Thanks for stopping by today!  Have a great Sunday!  Looking forward to seeing your creations. Until next time. 

Happy Veterans Day & Tis' The Season

Hello Stampers! Happy Veterans Day!  A huge thanks to all our Veterans and all they have done! To their families as well.  Thank you!

Hope you had a nice weekend.  It was a busy and fun one for me.  I have been working on some swaps and my creations as part of the Design Team for Sunday Stamps and Nacho Average blogs.  You'll see those creations later this week.

Today I have another Christmas card to share.  This is the challenge over at Tis' The Season with the optional trimming of stripes. I knew I wanted to play along once I saw the banner.

This is what I created, a neutral holiday card.  I've been seeing the red holiday cups at Starbucks and  that was my inspiration.  The base of my card is Baked Brown Sugar layered with Crumb Cake and then Early Espresso. Some Cherry Cobbler with all those browns makes my cup pop. 

Thanks for stopping by today. Until next time.
