Anyone else worried about just now starting on their Christmas cards? Heck, I am still trying to figure out what kind of cards I am sending out.



Option 1:









I like it. Don't love it and think perhaps it's a tad too plain. I can't have too many layers because the boyfriend has a HUGE family which we must all send cards too. It's definately an option though.


The Deets:
Stamps: Hero Arts Creative Trees, So Many Sayings - retired Hostess set
Paper: Whisper White
Ink: Basic Black and Bashful Blue markers
Misc: Bashful Blue striped grosgrain, Glassy Glaze enamel

Celebrate, Good Times, Come on!

Once again, I was running around with my head cut off because I totally forgot to create a birthday card for a party I went to last Saturday. Not my most favorite but eh, we all have those times sometimes and I do NOT perform well under pressure.



I believe the layout may have been from someone's challenge, I can't remember. Also, another under used set of mine!



I took the color combo from the tab: Tempting Turquoise, Old Olive, So Saffron and Soft Sky.






The Deets:
Stamps: Celebrate Everything, Eat Cake
Paper: Tempting Turquoise, Old Olive, Soft Sky, and So Saffron DSP (hostess paper pack)
Ink: Tempting Turquoise, Versa-mark, Soft Sky
Misc: Cloth Tag, Embossing, Stamp-a-majig

Thank You!

For a stamp set that I had to absolutely have, I haven't really used Fresh Cuts very much.

I've found it somewhat difficult to use when I am not utilizing a square card or a 3"x6" but I really like the simplicity of this one. Not only that but I think the punching on the side adds a neat element of surprise.



The Deets:
Stamps: Fresh Cuts
Paper: Kraft Card Stock, Old Olive, Close to Cocoa
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Old Olive
Punches: Scallop Edge, Designer Label, Spiral
Misc: Choc. Chip Ribbon

Color Inspiration #22

I cant believe how fast my little break went by! Anyways, I am back and ready to stamp!

I needed to ease myself back into stamping and figured Kristina's Color Challenge would be a great place to start.

These were the colors we had to use:



I've never stamped with Bravo Burgundy and was very surprised at how dark it was. At first I thought I had grabbed the wrong ink but no, it really is that dark.

I had set out to make a birthday card for a friend and somehow came up with this.


What a great simple card! I could still use this as a birthday card but I think I may just save it for a rainy day when someone could use a little pick-me up.

Hope you enjoy!

Paper: Soft Sky, Whisper White and Rose Red
Ink: Soft Sky, Rose Red, Regal Rose and Bravo Burgundy

taking a break

Hi all!

Just wanted to say I am taking a short break from blogging!

The weather is beautiful and unfortunately I just don't have the time right now.

Check back in September for some great classes!

My gf Shannon had to go into surgery back in May and I thought this might brighten her day while in recovery.

I did case the layout and colors but changed up the stamps. Can't remember who originally created this card but thank you!
