Ways to Use it Challenge

This is my card for Thursday's Ways to use it Challenge #113. The challenge was to use SMALL STAMPS no larger than 1.5". We were allowed to pair it up with larger stamps and any accessories that we wanted. My main image is a tad larger than 1.5" but I think it is close enough to be classified as a small stamp. Thanks for Stopping By!


Supplies Used: Stamps - Love without End, Canvas & By Definition Background stamps, Fun with Shapes (small Flower).
Paper - Sahara Sand, Certainly Celery, Bashful Blue, Whisper White.
Ink - Certainly Celery, Sahara Sand
Accessories - Blue Gingham Ribbon, Earth Element colored buttons, Linen Thread, Needle, Sponge.

Color Challenge

Today's color challenge #114 was kind of a tough one for me, but I guess that's why their called 'challenges'. The colors that we needed to use were tempting turquoise, rose red, apricot appeal and a option to also use green galore.
Well this is what I came up with, and I did manage to work in the green galore in the image!

Isn't this bee image cute? I bought them at Electric Paperie. Thanks to Beate for getting me hooked on these bees. Check out Beate's blog, it's awesome! She has so many great ideas that she shares with all of us, I really admire her talent!

Morning Warm-up!

Morning warm-ups, what a great idea! The challenge for Monday at SCS was to make a 3x3 warm-up card to get your creative juices flowing for the day. Unfortunately I didn't have time to stamp until last night around 10:00 pm, so I guess you could say this is my evening warm-up! Either way I had fun making this little creation, it was fast & easy!

Well off to create the next challenge! Thanks for visiting!

Supplies used: Paper - Cool Caribbean, Taken with Teal, Friends & Flowers DP. Accessories - Accents & Elements (SU!), Rose Grosgrain Ribbon, vellum circle metal egde tag, White gel pen & Gelly roll Stardust clear pen & my Cuttlebug.

Two new RAK's

Wow, how lucky am I? I received this RAK (top photo) from my Secret Sister (SCS) last Friday. She was so sweet to wish me a Happy Mother's Day! I love the color combo of Brown & Blue and look at that cute letter 'd' in the corner. Thanks so much!!!

Today was another good mail day as I received this Cute Bella card - My First Bella! This card came from Joanne aka: stamps4sanity @ SCS. Isn't she cute? I love the Bella's, I am anxiously awaiting for my first order to come - Yes, I said first order I plan on ordering more!!!! Thanks Joanne!!

Stamping time has been scarce the last couple of days - I hope to get some time in later tonight since I have three challenges that I want to do! Thanks for visiting today!

SCS Color Challenge

I was so excited that I had got my card done for the color challenge #113 yesterday that I forgot to take a photo of it before I sent it off to Shane. So I had to make another one today! I wasn't sure that I would like this color combo, but I think they work well together. I would probably use this combo again. I like to use this set when making cards or scrapbook pages for kids, especially for boys!!!

Supplies used: SU's! Bugs & Kisses stamp set, paper: Taken with Teal, Cool Caribbean, Morning Marigold, Whisper White. Ink: Morning Marigold, Taken with Teal. Accessories: Black Gingham Ribbon, silver brads, Stickles & Round Tab Punch (SU!), Cuttlebug.

Birthday Challenge

I was going to do today's Color Challenge over at SCS and I came across this Birthday Wish. I challenge everyone of you to send a card to Shane, help make his Birthday Wish come true! My card to Shane is in the mail!
