Hand Penned Petals – Have a Beautiful Day
One of the first challenges I started doing were color challenges and specifically the ones over at Colour INKspiration. CI-101 is a set of truly gorgeous colors and yet had me stumped. In my mind’s eye I have played around with ideas, thought about particular layouts and possible themes. The deadline is looming and withContinue reading “Hand Penned Petals – Have a Beautiful Day”
Weekend Color Challenge – Sailing Home, what a way to relax!
This week’s Weekend Challenge to keep you stamping is a color challenge. The color choices were inspired by the photograph. Choose at least three when making your project. Anything goes…however, I was inspired by the nautical influence for my card today. These colors were combined with two other challenges today. Sketch: Atlantic Hearts (#425) andContinue reading “Weekend Color Challenge – Sailing Home, what a way to relax!”
A Garden full of Thanks
Two challenges today. Try Stampin’ On Tuesday’s (#510) and Tic Tac Toe (#118). I opted to combine the White-on-White technique with the suggested sketch with TSOT510 and the row I chose from TTTC118 allowed me to choose a color, in this case Shimmery White and a CAS (clean and simple) design. The center square isContinue reading “A Garden full of Thanks”
Holiday Joy – Christmas Collage
And now for something completely different…over at Happy Little Stampers there is a monthly Christmas Challenge and while I don’t usually start thinking Christmas until August/September, I thought, why not? The Saturday Sketch Challenge (#664) seemed to be a good fit for one of my all-time favorite retired Background stamps: Christmas Collage and the retiredContinue reading “Holiday Joy – Christmas Collage”
Inspired Thoughts – At the Lake
The Global Design Project Challenge (#296) is to case a card created by Emma Goddard. My inspiration for this C.A.S.E. (copy and selectively edit), was the photo presented by The Card Concept Challenge (#157). Vacations at the Lake, a lazy day in the boat and a Hudson’s Bay Blanket to throw over your legsContinue reading “Inspired Thoughts – At the Lake”
Jar of Flowers – You’ve Been on My Mind
Playing with the sketch from the TGIF Challenge (#320) today and another row from the Tic Tac Toe Challenge (#117). A bouquet of pretty yellow flowers in a glass jar.

Here is the result: Steps: Shape / Circle: (2⅝”) Shimmery White cardstock die-cut with one of the Layering Circle Dies. TheContinue reading “Bamboo Beauty – Strength”
You Are Simply, Elegantly, Extraordinary!
I need a bit of a break from all of the June influenced “Manly” themed projects I have been creating. We all need a little glitz and glamour in our lives. I picked the color challenge from the Paper Craft Crew (#430) and the “Mark It Up!” tools challenge from the Stampin’ Up! Only ChallengeContinue reading “You Are Simply, Elegantly, Extraordinary!”
Many Layered Summer Blossoms – Friends
This week’s Case-ing Tuesday Sketch Challenge (#308) was mixed with both the Tic Tac Toe Challenge (#117) and the CAS on Friday Challenge (#207). Here is what I created: A pretty yellow bouquet of flowers. So fresh, so bright!
