Mojo Monday 32 Simple Stamping

Hi there everyone!

I am gonna post this and then come back and edit it for details...want to get it in in time for the deadline, but the little ones are screaming for dinner!

Okay...I'm back! Did you miss me?? I mean, I already know that you did because it has been FOREVER since I posted on my blog!! SORRY! :( Things have been busy with my dd playing softball and we are trying to get our backyard landscaped! Fun stuff!! :)

Anyway, another gorgeous sketch from Julee...I think her sketches are my favorite of any out there! I found the patterned paper at my LSS last week...love the colors!! It is My Mind's Eye, so of course the backside is the solid color. I love how they do that! :)

Hope you are all well! I will try and post more often this week! :)

I'm LOVING that Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder, too! So fun! :)

Taylor's Cupcake Challenge

Hello there! :) How was your weekend? Ours was very nice...except of course that it has been SPRING break and we have had snow eery day!! What the heck?!? My kids go back to school tomorrow, so I'm sure the weather will be nice this week! LOL

This card was made for Taylor's Cupcake Challenge. What a fun layout! I like layouts like these where you can use those small images that are sometimes hard to use! I got this set when it was first released, but this was my first time to use it! I love how all the pieces are seperate...I wish you could buy cupcakes like that. You know, only order a huge mound of frosting! LOL Because I like the frosting the best, I put it up on dimensionals on each cupcake!

Anyway, thanks for looking! :)

It's Been Too Long...

...and this card took entirely TOO LONG to make!! LOL

I haven't stamped in what seems like ages...and I just couldn't get things going!! I figured the sketch challenge would get my juices flowing...but it was HARD this week...or was it just me?? Tell me it wasn't just me!! LOL


I knew I wanted to use Papertrey's new colors...LOVE them!! So pretty! And I got this backgrounder from Cornish Heritage Farms awhile back and wanted to use it too. Finally got to use the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder, too! Maybe that's the problem...I was trying to use TOOOO MANY new things! Hey, you never know when I will get to stamp again, so I had to pack it all into one challenge!! LOL


This card is going to my friend that was just "surprised" to find out she is pregnant with baby #3...ooops! :)

Sorry for the brief delay....

Hi there!

I'm so sorry that I haven't posted this week...the migraine "issue" that I mentioned last week has taken its toll on me this week. I did have an MRI done this week, and it was normal, as I assumed it would be. I have been putting it off because I knew it wouldn't show anything and they are s0000000 expensive!! Anyway, I guess now we know for sure. I had malignant melanoma (skin cancer) in late 2006, so it's best to be safe now.

Anyway, I made this card a few weeks ago....I love how it turned out!! It is Papertrey's Out On A Limb set on the main image. Such a great set! The sentiment is one I picked up at my local stamp store and is from Penny Black. And all the little bling the middle of the flowers are little stickers by Stampendous. Very fun! :)

Thanks for stopping by and visiting me!

Today's Color Challenge...Friendship Blooms!

Hi Friends!

Hope you had a wonderful Tuesday! I've been struggling with a really nasty headache for the last several days...I'm starting to lose my patience with it! :(

BUT...I was determined to do today's color challenge on SCS: Wild Wasabi, Purely Pomegranate and So Saffron. Isn't it a beautiful combo? I love it! :) For some reason I never use So Saffron...I really need to pull it more. I realized as I was gathering the paper for this card that So Saffron was one of the colors in last year's prints pack that Stampin' Up gave as a gift with purchase, so that is the background paper. The stamp set is from SAB...this was a set I didn't think I liked, but I have seen such pretty cards made with it, and I am happy with how this one turned out! Also got to use my rub-ons again! Those little babies are addicting...the sentiment and the butterfly are rub-ons! Used more Dew Drops....loooooove those! I need more colors, though! I need Lindsey to hurry up and get her store opened back up! :) Had to add little white dots along the edge with my white gel pen...I have to refrain from doing that on every card! I just think it's so CUTE!

Thanks for visiting me! If you played in today's color challenge, send me the link so I can see! :)
