Birthday Blessings for SUNDAY STAMPS

Hi and welcome.

This posting is for the new challenge up on

the SUNDAY STAMPS BLOG. 

It's a color challenge and I hope you 

will join us and play along.

Here is the inspiration:

Here is my card:

********************************

I used the Abstract Impressions stamp set

plus the coordinating dies called

Springtime Impressions for this

challenge. I believe I used it for the

last challenge also, but it's so pretty

and I used it with the matching dies this time ;)

I myself was really challenged with the colors!

But in the end I like the result. The card

has a bright sunshiny summer feel.

Do please stop by the other Design Team ladies

blogs and check out their crestions. I hope

they will inspire you to join us!

a chance to use this retro look DSP

at a yard sale!!

Love is patient and kind.
Love is not jealous or boastful
or proud or rude.
It does not demand its own way. 
It is not irritable, and it
keeps no record of being wronged.

ALOHA for CASE #278

This post is for :
CTS # 278. It's really a fun sketch!

Here is my card:

I used the baby wipe stamp technique for a mottled look
on the leaves. Then I clear embossed over that for a glossy
dimensional look.

I used Pop of Paradise for the leaves
and Labeler Alphabet for the typeset greeting.

Thanks for stopping by. Come back soon...

Let's Go Camping for INSPIRED BY...

This post is for the 

INSPIRED BY...challenge. 

Love the inspiration photo...

Here is my card:

I love this photo because I love to camp!!

My husband and I picked up a travel trailor 

a couple of  years ago and we love to hit

the road and find adventure!

I incorporated "camping" things into my card like :

Of course the camper,

Criss crossing twine like criss crossing

the states camping here..camping there, 

the stars, like the twinkling stars you see 

against the black sky of night, splatters because
camping is sometimes messy...and

the arrow, pointing to the next adventure!!

Thanks for stopping by. Come back

and visit again :)

SUNDAY STAMPS #182 Sketch Challenge

Welcome to my post for the 

SUNDAY STAMPS CHALLENGE.

Monika has given us a fun design to

work with. Thanks Monika!!

Here is the sketch:

Here is my card:

I just received my first set from the

new SU! annual catty! It's called

Abstract Impressions.

I think it's going to be a 

versatile set and one I'll use for a while.

I tend to gravitate toward floral sets and

this one is no exception... :)

I played around with a bunch of different
layouts, but ended up keeping it pretty simple.
I bumped up only the sentiment and stamped the
beautiful flower images with no dimension
or layers. Clean and simple.
I used the new Soft Sea Foam from SU!
Powder Pink & Flirty Flamingo. 

Make sure you stop by the other DT blogs
and see what they have put together!
Thanks for stopping by & I love it when
you leave me some love in the comments.
