SPCC12 number 2

Hi Again,

This will be much shorter, but I did want to share the second card I made using the SPCC color combo.

I just love this little Hero Arts giraffe. Isn't it just the cutest thing?

Have a great evening my friends :)

SPCC 11 and fun mail

Hi Friends,

I know I've been a little behind on posting. I have to confess that last week was one of the most stressful weeks I have had at work in a long time. I won't bore you with the details, but I was absolutely drained each evening. I tried to check in on my favorite blogging buds, but even that I fell behind.

This weekend I was able to play around with some of my paper which is always a good stress reliever. Although I have to admit, that when I've not crafted in awhile, it takes me a bit to get back in the groove. Does that happen to any of you?? Work definitely gets in the way of my crafting fun!

First off, I got a card done for the SPCC challenge

Let me tell you that I STRUGGLED with this challenge. First, I hadn't stamped in awhile and mojo was missing as stated above :) Then I found that I do not own Green Galore. In the end, i went with Certainly Celery which is close. I absolutely love Soft Suede (another of the new SU! In Colors).

Enough of my rambling, here is what I cam up with:

In the end, I am pleased with how it turned out. In fact, I have a confession to make, you are probably going to be seeing much more of the leaves and the flowers in my upcoming posts. I'm on a kick right now. So you are forewarned ;)

Lastly, I got some fun mail last week which was truly a blessing since I was having a bad week, getting this in the mail was like Christmas in August :) Maile B. had agreed to do and exchange of sorts (some die cut images from me and some stamped images from her), so when I received all of this, I was stunned. What a sweetie. Once again, I am convinced that paper crafters are just the sweetest people out there. Thank you again for your generousity, Maile.

If you've hung with me this long, thanks! I hope that you all enjoy the remaining hours of the weekend.

Blessings

Hi Friends,

Happy Friday and welcome to the weekend. I love the weekends (do I say that every week?) Oh well, I really mean it :)
Today, I'm posting an entry for the SPCC and 2 Sketches4 You challenges.

The colors we were to use were Stampin' Up: Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry and Pale Plum. The color challenges I've joined in lately have all involved Purple of some sort. I have to admit having on limited supplies of purple (or shades of). But I've scrounged up enough to participate :) Both of these challenges are a lot of fun, and it's always nice when you can double up :)

Have a wonderful weekend friends!

Supplies:

Stamps: Stampin' Up! Chic Boutique, Inkadinkado dots and fluorishes, Hero Arts Everyday Sayings

Paper: Stampin' Up! Crushed Curry, Pale Plum, Pumpkin Pie; Archiver's Watercolor paper

Ink: Stazon

Accessories: Stampin' Up! Pale Plum, Pumpkin Pie, and Crushed Curry markers and corner rounder; Hero Arts Buttons and gems; Cuttlebug Swiss dots folder; Nestabilities

Hey there,

I hope you all have had a great weekend. I'm sure yours went by as quickly as mine did.

Well, another week and another SPCC challenge at the last minute. I actually made this one a few days ago but just now posting. I hope you like

Sorry this is a short post, but I have several things left to do before starting the work week.
Blessings!

SPCC challenge

Hi Friends,
Another day, another card challenge. Today's card is for SPCC to use Crushed Curry, Dusty Durango and Mellow Moss. I used another of my new toys, the SU! Medallion stamp. I love this stamp. I can see me making quick cards with this image.

Unfortunately, the colors don't show up too well in my photo. I desperately need to get better at photo editing. I just need to find a few more hours in my day (as I think most people do).

Thanks for stopping by!

SPCC#7

Hi Friends,


I hope you've enjoyed your weekend. I sure have.


That's why I'm just now uploading my card for the SPCC#7 challenge.

I'm not super excited about this card, but I thought I'd post it anyway.

Carlin and I are watching a movie, so I'm going to keep this short. I'd love to hear about your weekend.

Hugs!

Hi Friends,

Oh how quickly the weekends go. I cannot believe it is Sunday evening.

I'm posting my latest entry for the SPCC.

I decided to make another birthday card. (I've mentioned before that I'm short on birthday cards and a lot of upcoming birthdays, so there will continue to be more birthday cards).

Have a fabulous evening!

Nette
