OCC Distress to De-stress sketch challenge

Hello everyone and welcome to 'My Little Stampin' Spot! I hope everyone had a fabulous week. This week over at 'Our Creative Corner' our hostess Sarah Gough - Thinking Stamps, is challenging us to a sketch challenge with a twist. Stamping is a great way to release some of our everyday stress and distressing your card/project is a fun way to work out a little frustration. This week we want you to crumple flowers, distress edges or sponge your stress away while you work with this week's sketch! Hop on over to 'Our Creative Corner' to see what the rest of the design team has created

Everyone is welcome to play along, if you upload to SCS use the keyword OCCC. If you would like to be considered for the 'Top Talent' or 'Talented Trio' awards you must have your card/project submitted on the OCC blog post by Friday March 4th at 11:50 ET. Good Luck! I can't wait to see what you create this week!

OCC ~ Getting Wordy

Hello everyone and welcome to 'My Little Stampin' Spot! I am so ready for spring, how about you? I have been fighting a very bad case of bronchitis but I have still found some time to stamp!

This week our hostess over at 'Our Creative Corner' is Sarah Gough ~ Thinking Stamps. I love Sarah's work, she always has so many cute and fresh ideas! This week Sarah is challenging us to 'Get Wordy' - Use a sentiment stamp to create a background or layer for your card/project by stamping it repeatedly. I chose to use my 'Happy Birthday' sentiment from the 'Bring on the Cake' SU! stamp set. I stamped it repeatedly on Whisper White cs using Real Red ink.
