Nacho Balloons

Good morning Stampers! Hope your week is going well.  We have a new Nacho Sketch  to inspire you this week, we hope you will join us and create with us this week. Make sure you check out our main blog so you can see what my fellow designers created.

Below is how the sketch inspired me:

I did some masking on my balloons, forgot how easy that technique is. The colors I used are Crushed Curry, Bermuda Bay and Tangelo Twist. The small strips of DSP are from the Birthday Bash Speciality DSP. 

I also want to apologize to you, my fellow blog readers. I haven't been as active posting on the blog as I would like to be.  Continuing to balance everything going on right now in my life such as planning my wedding and balancing two jobs, on top of my personal life. My creativity is taking a hit and I thank you for your patience. My commitment to the blog for now is to post on Tuesdays and Thursdays. As things get completed, I know I will come back and post more often. 

Thanks for stopping by today. Until next time. 

'Tis the Season Stache

Happy Thursday Stampers! Hope your week is going well.  We have a new Tis' The Season color challenge to inspire you with your Christmas cards! Hope you come and check us out.

This week's color challenge is different shades of blue with a neutral and some sparkle. I'm really liking that I'm getting a head start on my Christmas cards this year. Wouldn't you like to be ahead as well? Join us with your creation.

The Stampin' Up! colors I used are Baja Breeze, Pacific Point, Pool Party, Smoky Slate and Whisper White. I didn't include a sentiment just yet, as I wanted to leave it blank for now. 

Thanks for stopping by today. Until next time.

Di's Country INKers April Blog Hop

Hello friends! Welcome to another edition of Di's Country INKers blog hop! Can't believe it is already April 1st-that is no joke! This year is going by fast. If you are just stopping by, you just finished visiting Barb's Blog, wasn't her project super cute! And did you see our cute blog buttons for this month's theme? Adorable. No need to guess what our theme is this month.

So for my project today, I once again created a simple card, seems to my MO lately. But sometimes simple is good. The stamp set is Love is Kindness from the Occasions Catalog. I finally inked it up, this was a stamp set we got at Spring Fling back in February, but I was unable to attend because I was sick. I will definitely be inking it up more.

Up next is Crystal.  Can't wait to see what beautiful project she has in store for us.

If you get lost, don't worry, below are all the links to everyone's blogs. Please show them some blog love and leave them some nice comments. Thanks for stopping by today! Until next time.

'Tis The Season Designer

Happy Thursday Stampers! Hope your week is going well.

I'm so happy to share that I've been invited to join the designers at 'Tis The Season blog challenge. It's Christmas year round and we will be making Christmas card throughout the year based on different challenges. Come check us out and create with us. Our challenge runs for Thursday to the following Tuesday. This is a great way to get a head start on your Christmas cards instead of stressing out at the last minute, like me.

Below is how the photo inspired me:

Simple card to kick off my holiday card-making skills.  Hard to see that the sentiment is embossed with gold embossing powder. Feel like I'm a bit rusty with Christmas cards, but I know the inspiration will kick in. Hope you will join us and creating along side us. Have a great week and weekend! Until next time.

Nacho Tree

Happy Tuesday Stampers! We have a fun new color challenge for you to try out this Nacho Average Tuesday. We hope it will inspire you to create alongside us this week.

This is how our colors inspired me, I did use a few more neutral colors like Whisper White and Crumb Cake but I used Pear Pizzazz as my tree branches and Garden Green as the grass. 

Thanks for stopping by today. Until next time.

Di's Country INKers March Blog Hop

Hello Stampers!  Happy March 1st and welcome to another blog hop featuring Stampin' Up! demonstrators with Di's Country INKers! So glad you stopped by today.  Wasn't Barb's project adorable! In case you are wondering our theme for this month is Easter!

Using our gift box punch board, I created several small boxes that I could decorate to spell out "Happy Easter" to use as my Easter decor.  They remind of the wooden alphabet blocks from back in the day. This was a fun project for me to create.  

Up next is Crystal, can't wait to see what awesome project she has in store for us.
