- [One Stamp At A Time - Last Minute Santa - Stampin' Up! More Than Autumn](https://stamptimesomewhere.com/one-stamp-at-a-time-last-minute-santa-stampin-up-more-than-autumn/): Hello!!!! Welcome to this month's One Stamp At A Time Blog Hop – Last Minute Santa. This month we have all created some fun last-minute Christmas ideas for you. These little Hot Cocoa wraps have been a long-time favorite of mine and there are so many fun ways you can do them. One thing I really love is that each one only takes a half sheet of cardstock (8.5" x 5.5"). This time I went right back to my go-to this season, More Than Autumn paired with the amazing Take a Bow Paper.   They are so easy to make, […]
- [Creation Station - Christmas Tradtions - Hot Cocoa with Stampin' Up!s More Than Autumn Stamp Set](https://stamptimesomewhere.com/creation-station-christmas-tradtions-hot-cocoa-with-stampin-ups-more-than-autumn-stamp-set/):  Hi Stamping Friends! I sure hope that this finds you well today! I'm not doing too shabby here. So much going on and a lot of bigger life changes, but definitely still feeling Blessed.  As we put a wrap on the Fall holidays and enter into Winter and all of the wonderfulness that comes with that. I know in our home we have a few Christmas traditions, so I was so happy to see this month's Creation Station theme – Christmas Tradtions! One of our traditions is DEFINITELY Hot Cocoa, and I decided to use that as my inspiration for […]
- [#tgifc494 Sketch Challenge - Stampin' Up! Layers of Beauty](https://stamptimesomewhere.com/tgifc494-sketch-challenge-stampin-up-layers-of-beauty/): Hello! Welcome back. I am going to make this quick as I am up late (Thursday night) – and tomorrow is my 21st Anniversary! Yikes! Well, this sketch ended up crossing my desk at the perfect time though. I knew it would be a great one for an anniversary card! I followed it pretty closely. I didn't quite cut my image exactly where I wanted to, but it still turned out pretty I think. I had fun coloring the flowers to resemble our wedding flowers. They were hydrangeas, but it still has that same look! Thank you so much for […]
- [#tgifc493 Color Challenge](https://stamptimesomewhere.com/tgifc493-color-challenge/): Hi there!!! So happy to have you joining me today!!! It's been awhile since I've had a chance to blog any of my TGIF projects, but I thought that this one coordinated with the other day's Creation Station card, I would definitely add it here! I don't have a ton of supplies at the moment, and you know what? That's OK!!! I love having to think outside of the box sometimes, and I am always grateful for the Mini Alphabet Dies, so I can personalize things, or come up with some different, fun sayings! Like this one! So – here's […]
- [Creation Station - Into the Night](https://stamptimesomewhere.com/creation-station-into-the-night/):  Hi friends!!! Welcome back!!! I am so excited to share this fun card with you that I created for this month's Creation Station theme – Into the Night. I definitely didn't go spooky really, and it's not might not invoke thoughts of evening or nighttime, but cute little ghosties are a nighttime thing, right?  I wasn't inspired by any of the stamp sets that I had on hand, so I turned to the amazingly versatile Mini Alphabet Dies, and a little freehand cutting.I drew myself some little ghost shapes and drew their faces on, adding some Black & Vanilla ribbon […]
- [OSAT Blog Hop Find A Sketch - Stampin' Up! Cutest Cows!](https://stamptimesomewhere.com/osat-blog-hop-find-a-sketch-stampin-up-cutest-cows/): Oh boy, it has been a while! If you are new here – WELCOME, and if you are shocked to finally see me creating and blogging again – WELCOME BACK!!! I was so excited to see the wonderful OSAT Team was going to kick off this blog hop again after a bit of a hiatus. I needed the kick in the pants to put other things aside and take some time to CREATE! This month's theme was to use the sketches shown on page 22 of the current Stampin' Up! catalog and create from one of those! I actually think […]
- [Creation Station - Heat Embossing - Stampin' Up! Circle Sayings](https://stamptimesomewhere.com/creation-station-heat-embossing-stampin-up-circle-sayings/): Hi there! Long time no see. I've been stamping, just not posting a lot lately, but I am hoping that will change soon. I loved this month's Creation Station theme, so I really wanted to jump in!     It's been a while since I've done heat emboss resist, but the Rays of Light Background stamp was absolutely perfect for this technique!  In order to get this look, I stamped the image in Versamark Ink on Watercolor Paper and heat embossed with White Embossing Powder (you can use Clear too). After that was done, I used the Water Painters and re-inkers […]
- [Creation Station - MonoChromatic - Stampin' Up! - Bird's Eye View](https://stamptimesomewhere.com/creation-station-monochromatic-stampin-up-birds-eye-view/):  Hello! I am happy to be back with another card for this month's Creation Station Blog Hop! I have been stamping a little more lately, now just to get back into actually blogging and posting on social media a little more! LOL. Baby steps. Let's start here!  This month's theme is Monochromatic Cards. I decided to focus on a couple of the new colors that I hadn't really used much yet – Bubble Bath and Moody Mauve, so essentially PINK. Made me think of that scene in Steel Magnolias.  "My colors are Blush and Bashful" "Her colors are Pink and […]
- [Creation Station - Ombre Blending - Stampin' Up! Alphabet A La Mode](https://stamptimesomewhere.com/creation-station-ombre-blending-stampin-up-alphabet-a-la-mode/):  Yes… you're seeing things right. If you've been a follower of mine for any length of time (maybe the last 15 years or so…) you might have noticed I took a rather LONG hiatus from stamping and blogging. Life happened; I needed a break. Our family is fine. It's actually really good. I just needed to walk away for a while. I recently had some time to myself again, and thought I would give it another shot. I had tried over the last few months, but it just didn't feel right. This time. It felt right. I didn't stamp a […]
- [#tgifc394 Sketch Challenge - Stampin' Up! Dragonfly Garden](https://stamptimesomewhere.com/tgifc394-sketch-challenge-stampin-up-dragonfly-garden/):  Hello, happy Friday!      I've got a great TGIF Sketch for you today! I thought about grabbing a set for fall, or even Christmas, but I decided to grab an old favorite, Dragonfly Garden! I think it ended up working great for the sketch.  We are going to call my card this week a loose interpretation. It absolutely was inspired by the sketch.   Sometime last year I think, I created another card where I stamped the wildflower image over a plaid pattern, so I thought I would revisit the idea, and I still love how it turned out. One […]
- [OSAT Blog Hop Festive Season - Jingle Jingle Jingle style](https://stamptimesomewhere.com/osat-blog-hop-festive-season-jingle-jingle-jingle-style/): Hello! Welcome back my friend. It's time for me to jump in on this month's One Stamp At A Time Blog Hop. Our theme for this go around is "Festive Season" It left a lot open to our own interpretation, but I chose to work on a cute little Christmas ensemble with one of my favorite sets from the Stampin' Up! July-December catalog – Jingle, Jingle, Jingle…. I immediately fell in love with it. I have NO IDEA why I hadn't used it yet. I figured that a card and a little gift would be a great idea for this […]
- [Creation Station - Fancy Folds - Kindest Gnomes](https://stamptimesomewhere.com/creation-station-fancy-folds-kindest-gnomes/): Hello!!! I am so happy to be hopping with the Creation Station today. Seems like it's been awhile. Life can get in the way sometimes, but it's always nice to be able to come back to something that you love. For me, it's stamping! This month's theme is using Fancy Folds. The one I did isn't SUPER fancy, but it's a great one for using up and showing off all the wonderful double sided Designer Series Papers in your stash!  It starts with a piece of Designer Series Paper cut at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2". Score and fold at […]
- [#tgifc393 Color Challenge, With My Favorite Gnomies](https://stamptimesomewhere.com/tgifc393-color-challenge-with-my-favorite-gnomies/):  Hello, happy Friday! So happy to be back here posting with the TGIF Challenges Team this week. We always kick off our month with a color challenge, and I admit, at first I was NOT fond of this one. NOW I want to color everything with these colors!!!!  Being as I didn't know what I wanted to do, I figured I would just start coloring and see where it lead – and ! could not be much happier with the results. I started coloring, then got everything cut out. I kept trying to arrange them on a card, and just […]
- [#tgifc392 What Would You Do? No Black Ink?!?!?](https://stamptimesomewhere.com/tgifc392-what-would-you-do-no-black-ink/):  Hello, and Happy Friday friend!!!! I am so glad you found a few moments to swing by today. I've really been trying to get better at posting again. I used to be so good at it, but man – lately! SO I will probably keep it short and sweet.  At first that I thought that this might be a hard challenge, but once I got going, it came pretty quickly, thanks to some gorgeous Designer Series Paper, and Versamark Ink and Embossing Powder. As usual, here's a list of the supplies used!!! When you order, please use host code E7JDMEPK […]
- [#tgifc391 Inspiration Challenge - Stampin' Up! Penguin Place](https://stamptimesomewhere.com/tgifc391-inspiration-challenge-stampin-up-penguin-place/):  Hello there! Happy Friday y'all!!! I sure that you are having a great day!!! I am so happy to be able to bring you my take on this week's #TGIFChallenge. It's an inspiration challenge and I PROMISE I used the inspiration graphic when I designed my card.  Hopefully it isn't too hard to see how I was inspired… You can see it, right? Well, when I first started, I imagined it as the backs of the penguins, like little silhouettes, but I wasn't sure it would be super obvious that they were the penguins, so I figured I would make […]
- [#tgifc390 Sketch Challenge - featuring Stampin' Up! Paradise Palms](https://stamptimesomewhere.com/tgifc390-sketch-challenge-featuring-stampin-up-paradise-palms/):  Hello friends – Happy Fridayish. I'm a little late getting this posted, but I still wanted to make sure that I got this info up. I've been soooo crazy lately and have let so many things slip, but it's been time well spent with family. The good news was that this sketch ended up being the perfect starting point for an anniversary card for my hubby – we just celebrated 19 years!!!  I had recently invested in the Paradise Palms stamp set and dies, mostly because I felt that it was a good, gender neutral, versatile set to have on […]
- [OSAT Blog Hop - Pumpkin Spice - Sunflowers and Gnomes](https://stamptimesomewhere.com/osat-blog-hop-pumpkin-spice-sunflowers-and-gnomes/):  Hello! Welcome back. I know it's been awhile since I posted – seriously sorry. It always amazes me how long I have been going between posts – life with teenagers is busy. I've been creating, just not posting….ooops  ANYHOW – Today I am joining the One Stamp At A Time Blog Hop Team for a fun, fall themed hop!  I will admit, I had been feeling pretty creatively stuck for quite a while. I decided to do something about it recently and spent a weekend away. Most of the time I just hung out by myself and worked on a […]
- [OSAT Blog Hop - Garden Party with Stampin' Up! Cottage Wreaths](https://stamptimesomewhere.com/osat-blog-hop-garden-party-with-stampin-up-cottage-wreaths/):   Hello! So good to see you today! Honestly, any day right now that I can post is a good day. I have definitely been in a different stage of life these days. I'm definitely good with it. I'm spending more time with my boys, and that time is going by so very quickly!!! Every so often though, I take some time for myself and get back to my stamping table and just create! This month's OSAT theme was just so fun, I had to play along!    SO I was a little stuck though on which set to use. […]
- [#tgifc381 Sketch Challenge with Stampin' Up! Sweet Songbirds!](https://stamptimesomewhere.com/tgifc381-sketch-challenge-with-stampin-up-sweet-songbirds/): Hello and Happy Friday. I am kind of impressed with myself. It's been a while since I have had posts two days in a row! I am so happy I had a chance to play along with my #TGIFChallenges team this week for this great sketch.  Because I had so much going on the last few days, I knew that to maximize my time, I wanted to keep creating with Sweet Songbirds (see yesterday's post)  I used one of the extra birds I created for a sweet little focal point in the sketch's circle. This card came together SO quickly, […]
- [OSAT Blog Hop - BFFs with Stampin' Up! Sweet Songbirds](https://stamptimesomewhere.com/osat-blog-hop-bffs-with-stampin-up-sweet-songbirds/): Hello! Holy smokes it's been a while!!!  Regardless, I am so happy you are here, joining us on this month's One Stamp At A Time Blog Hop! This month we are all about the besties, so it should be a really fun hop.  The Sweet Songbirds is seriously one of my favorite bundles! I love the cute little birds and you can do so much with them!!! I kept it pretty simple with a sweet card and a box of chocolates this time.  I wanted a bright, fun card that would cheer up a bestie! I really love how it […]
- [OSAT Blog Hop - Time to Saleabrate Hippest Hippo](https://stamptimesomewhere.com/osat-blog-hop-time-to-saleabrate-hippest-hippo/):  Hello! I sure do hope you are having a wonderful day! Welcome to this month's OSAT Blog Hop. Our theme this month is all about Stampin' Up!'s fantastic Summer Sale-A-Bration offerings. It's an awesome catalog – full of wonderful products that you can earn for free right now with purchase.  There were quite a few items that I fell in love with but chose to feature the adorable Hippest Hippos stamp set.  It's a super fun stamp set, especially if you love to color, and there is even a coordinating die set that adds even more awesomeness.  I had so […]
- [#tgifc375 Color Challenge - Stampin' Up! Sweet Songbirds](https://stamptimesomewhere.com/tgifc375-color-challenge-stampin-up-sweet-songbirds/): Hello! Happy Friday!    Well, I don't know about you, but I am spending my days inside, hiding from this heat. I'm in Las Vegas, and even though our temperatures will often hit 5-10 degrees more, it's still rough. Our new puppy wants no part of it either! Can't say I blame him. So time in the stampin' room it is!    I think my projects lately are feeling the effects of the heat too. I find myself doing "lighter" and "simpler" projects. How about you, do you find that your styles change with the seasons?  I kept with the […]
- [#tgifc373 Inspiration Challenge - Stampin' Up! Sweet Songbirds and Paper Clips](https://stamptimesomewhere.com/tgifc373-inspiration-challenge-stampin-up-sweet-songbirds-and-paper-clips/):  Hello and Happy Friday!     It's been a BUSY week here. Last week we did something I said I would NEVER do…I caved, and we now have a sweet Mini Sheepadoodle Puppy in the house. (I'll make you read through my whole post before I share a pic – LOL!)  This was a fun challenge, and I know we will see a great variety of projects! I know most people might use them on a card, but I chose to do a MAJOR throwback project! I remember making these paper clip bookmarks years and years ago with our old scalloped […]
- [#tgifc372 Sketch Challenge - Stampin' Up! Sweetest Cherries](https://stamptimesomewhere.com/tgifc372-sketch-challenge-stampin-up-sweetest-cherries/): Hello there! Happy Friday. It might could be a small miracle that I am posting two weeks in a row. While all of the end of the school craziness has slowed down, summer has been in full swing, and I am finally catching up on some "me time", including taking care of a lot of health issues. Thanks to having some pain relief due to a procedure yesterday (nothing like last minute), I was able to take advantage of the opportunity and took some time in my office to create. I have been looking for a chance to use this […]
- [#tgifc371 Color Challenge - Stampin' Up! Sweet Songbirds](https://stamptimesomewhere.com/tgifc371-color-challenge-stampin-up-sweet-songbirds/):  Hello, friend!!! Thanks for stopping by today. I know I have been pretty quiet around here, but I've been busy with my oldest son graduating from high school. I have been one busy, emotional mom! Hopefully I can get back in to the swing of things soon. I'll start with this month's TGIF Color Challenge! Funny thing, is I've used these colors a lot lately, and Pacific Point and Crushed Curry have made for some good "school colors" projects!    This card is NOT for a graduation project however. This one is for a very special birthday! I LOVE these […]
- [#tgifc368 Sketch Challenge - More Cactus Cuties](https://stamptimesomewhere.com/tgifc368-sketch-challenge-more-cactus-cuties/):  Hi there!    Maybe I am feeling the pinch to play with this cute stamp set and punch bundle, being as it will only be available for a few more weeks!!! So it made sense that I grabbed a bunch of my left overs from creating last week's TGIF Color Challenge card, and put them to good work for this week's Sketch Challenge!  I really had over-prepped for last week's card, so I just picked up the pieces and kept going, and I loved what happened!!!  The builder punch for this set helped make this card come together so quickly […]
- [OSAT Blog Hop - Hello, My Name is Good Feelings In Color!](https://stamptimesomewhere.com/osat-blog-hop-hello-my-name-is-good-feelings-in-color/):  Hello! How are you doing this beautiful day? It's a great day here, because I get to create with some other awesome Stampin' Up! Demonstrators to bring you this month's One Stamp At A Time Blog Hop, and this month's theme is "Hello, My Name Is". We are all about introducing you to some of the newest products just released in the new Annual Catalog! I chose to feature a fun new stamp set, Good Feelings, and the GORGEOUS new In-Colors!!!  I love me a bold, happy sentiment stamp set and this one definitely delivers. Combined with some of our […]
- [#tgifc367 Color Combo Challenge - Cactus Cuties](https://stamptimesomewhere.com/tgifc367-color-combo-challenge-cactus-cuties/):  Hello – I know, long time no see. Life just seems to be getting busier and busier these days! May just tends to be a crazy busy month here. Is it that way for you too? If so, I definitely feel ya! So glad I took a few minutes to sit and create for this week's TGIF Challenges the other day. It's a great color challenge!!!  It was such a pretty color combo, I had to play along! I grabbed my Cactus Cuties bundle from the Jan-Jun Mini Catalog and just started having fun!  It's such a fun set, and […]
- [OSAT Blog Hop - Just Blend It - Stampin' Up! Mischievous Mice](https://stamptimesomewhere.com/osat-blog-hop-just-blend-it-stampin-up-mischievous-mice/):  Hey there!!!! I sure hope that you are having a fantastic day! I am happy to be sharing a couple of projects with you today that I created for this month's One Stamp At A Time Blog Hop. This month's theme is Just Blend It, and I mainly used my Stampin' Blends Markers for the theme, but I did add in a little Blending Brush action too….  I have been dying to color the sweet little mice images in the current Host set – Mischievous Mice. They are perfect for coloring with the Stampin' Blends Markers.   I kept with the […]
- [#tgifc361 Pop Of Color Challenge - Happiest of Birthdays](https://stamptimesomewhere.com/tgifc361-pop-of-color-challenge-happiest-of-birthdays/): Hello friend!!!!    I sure hope that you are doing great today. I am loving the beautiful Spring weather here in Las Vegas, even though they are forecasting 90 degrees tomorrow!!!! I might not be quite ready for that yet though! Hopefully, it's not TOOOOO bad! If so, I guess that just means more time in the stamp room escaping the heat! Earlier this week I had a chance to work on this week's TGIF Challenge -   There are so many fun ways you can work with this challenge! Make sure that you click on the image above so that […]

- [#tgifc360 Simple Stamping Rainbow of Happiness](https://stamptimesomewhere.com/tgifc360-simple-stamping-rainbow-of-happiness/): Hello!!! Happy Friday to you. I sure hope that you are doing well today. Things are going well here. Staying busy. I've started PT for my knee and back, and a bit sore, but all in the name of feeling better – RIGHT? LOL. So that made this week perfect for the TGIF Challenge!  I kept it SO simple!!! You want to know something? I LOVE IT. I love how easy it was, how quick it was, and how cute it is!!! One layer, one stamp set, one little bow, four ink pads, and a few swipes of some glittery […]
- [#tgifc359 Sketch Challenge - Stampin' Up! Flowers of Friendship](https://stamptimesomewhere.com/tgifc359-sketch-challenge-stampin-up-flowers-of-friendship/): Hello and happy Friday! So grateful you took a few minutes out of your day to come visit my blog. Hopefully today's project based on TGIF Challenges Sketch Challenge will inspire you!  I decided to reach for a stamp set I haven't had the chance to use much yet, and paired it with a technique I haven't done in awhile – no line watercolor. I LOVE how it turned out, it game the images a completely different look.  Have you tried no line watercoloring? I love it. I stamp the image with Sahara Sand once on my Grid Paper, then […]
- [OSAT Blog Hop - Blooms](https://stamptimesomewhere.com/osat-blog-hop-blooms/):   Hello! Welcome back! I sure hope that you are having a fantastic day. It's a busy week here, so I'll get right to it! Welcome to this month's One Stamp At A Time Blog Hop – where this month it is all about the Blooms!  While it's true that Sunflowers have long been a favorite of mine, and I have created so many projects with our Celebrate Sunflower Bundle, today's color inspiration definitely came from current events.   I started on the card by creating the watercolor pieces. After creating a color wash on the background of Balmy Blue […]
- [Creation Station Blog Hop - Rainbow Rearrange - Stampin' Up! Rainbow of Happiness](https://stamptimesomewhere.com/creation-station-blog-hop-rainbow-rearrange-stampin-up-rainbow-of-happiness/): Hello! Welcome back and Happy March. I sure hope you are having a fantastic day and enjoying this month's Creation Station Blog Hop – where it's all about a "Rainbow Rearrange" Reimagining, rethinking, flipping, or even recoloring the "traditional" rainbow. Rainbows seem to be everywhere nowadays – home decor, stationery, clothing, you name it you can probably find it with a rainbow on it. Whether it's a traditional rainbow, a bold and graphic, or a boho style rainbow, the rainbow trend is definitely a hot one!  I chose to do something a little softer and more subdued, perfect for an […]
- [OSAT Blog Hop - Slim Shady - Stampin' Up! Driving By](https://stamptimesomewhere.com/osat-blog-hop-slim-shady-stampin-up-driving-by/):  Ok, I admit – that song is in my head now…I'm Slim Shady, yes I'm the real Shady….    FOCUS JEANNA! LOL. Hello, and welcome to this month's One Stamp At a Time Blog Hop. Our theme this month is based on the trend of "slimline" cards. Stampin' Up! even has a new fun stamp and die bundle, along with slimline envelopes. They are definitely on my "want list". Not having them though, I just made my own!  I'm not sure that there are any real rules when it comes to a slimline card size, other than it being long […]

- [#tgifc354 Color Challenge - Stampin' Up! Cactus Cuties](https://stamptimesomewhere.com/tgifc354-color-challenge-stampin-up-cactus-cuties/):  Hello and happy Friday, friend!!! So, is it only me, or was January like the longest month ever that kind of also flew by? Either way, it's February now! I'm happy to be starting it off with this week's TGIF Color Challenge.     I'll admit, this one took me a little bit. I figured that being as I hadn't inked up my Cactus Cuties yet that it might be a good time.  I had some fun with the textures on this one, but the star of the show is definitely that cute little cactus. I stamped the parts of […]
- [#tgifc353 Loaded Envelope - Stampin' Up! Rainbow of Happiness](https://stamptimesomewhere.com/tgifc353-loaded-envelope-stampin-up-rainbow-of-happiness/): Hi!!!!   I am so glad that you stopped by today! How has your week been? I am getting over ANOTHER cold. The beginning of this year has been a bit of a struggle for me, but I'm hanging in. In addition to ME being sick, my poor kiddo dislocated his kneecap during wrestling practice and is now going to miss finals AND trying out for baseball. Super bummed for him, but he's in good spirits. I'm a lucky mom. Anyhow…. despite spending most of the week on the couch, I managed to muster enough energy yesterday to get a […]
- [#tgifc352 Inspiration Challenge - Stampin' Up! Sweet Conversations](https://stamptimesomewhere.com/tgifc352-inspiration-challenge-stampin-up-sweet-conversations/): Hello and HAPPY FRIDAY!! Woot Woot!!! Are you excited for the weekend? Do you have any special plans? Do they involve stamping? Right now it looks like most of mine involves a wrestling meet, but hopefully I can stamp a little. It might be like 20 minutes here or there, but I'll take what I can get, know what I mean? As it is, I was so last minute on this week's TGIF Challenge, but I got it done! It's not super fancy, but I know I don't always have time to make super fancy. If you are in the […]

My card for this month's Fancy Friday post! It's so bright and cheery and used one of my favorite new Sale-A-Bration stamp sets – Awesome Otters!  This set is just so stinkin' cute! There are three playful otter images, along with a cute little birthday hat and two sentiments, one of which was perfect for today's birthday card!  I […]

I am so happy that I was able to get a chance to play along with this week's sketch challenge. I've been in the craft room a lot this week and couldn't be much happier. In fact, I think my recent projects reflect that! Ok, so I was a little scared of this one. Then I remembered that I really don't have to overthink EVERY challenge – LOL. It's OK to K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Sweetheart) I did use quite the mash-up here, but I think that it turned […]

I am not sure that's happened in the entire time I've had this blog. Maybe one other time – MAYBE. So sooooooo sorry, life has kind of picked me up and dragged me by the tail the last few months, and I'm working my way back, baby steps at a time. I'm happy to be able to share a new card with you for this week's TGIF Challenge! (visit the TGIF Blog by clicking on the photo above)  I decided to play […]

It was another busy one here for us. Medical procedures, dental visits, a last home football game for my amazing trumpet playing band Senior, a Homecoming dance, church and church meetings. I wanted to share with you a thought that was shared with me that I plan to take to heart…. when you have the thought to think or say, "I HAVE to ____", instead try thinking or saying, "I GET to ____". I loved the sentiment and I think it shifts our mindsets to a grateful way of […]

Did you see today's Fancy Friday Design Team post on Instagram? My card was showcased featuring this month's great sketch challenge 🙂  It is a gorgeous sketch, and I felt a little bad altering it, but it ended up working out perfectly for my son's birthday card!  I didn't do a major alter…I don't think. What do you think, did I alter it too much?   I needed to change it up a little to make it work with what I wanted to use – ah the beauty of sketches… My kid's favorite color has always been green. It […]

I actually did this backwards, I'll tell ya what I mean….  I actually created my "Stepped Up" version first. I tend to create on a more "avid" level, so […]

Sometimes it was just an issue of getting the Basic White cardstock to look WHITE. Every time I […]

I am so excited to share some fun alternative ideas with you today, featuring the Stampin' Up! Paper Pumpkin Kit, The Adventure Begins.  Some months I love going really over the top with the Paper Pumpkin alternates, but this month kind of called for a different look for me.

I am back for another #TGIF Friday Challenge for you! This week is a great sketch challenge.   Ok, so I say it's a great sketch…but honestly, I STRUGGLE with diagonals! I really don't know why. I know I could've switched my card design around in my head a little and it would've been easier, but it was SO specific in my head… LOL! I'm glad I stuck with it. Do you design with diagonal lines like this? Is there a secret? I think if I would have added a strip over the TOP of where the two layers […]

She provided a sample, and all of the supplies, but like the rebel I am (HA HA HA HA) I changed things up a bit and […]

I LOVED the cards I posted for yesterday's We Create Blog Hop, but I'm just as excited about today's TGIF Color Challenge Card.  I went back and forth between a few ideas. I kept leaning towards flowers, but just wasn't feeling it! Not sure why. I ultimately decided I wanted to do some watercoloring, and thought I would try something really new to me!!! I LOVE how it turned […]

I have a busy weekend coming up, too.

I paired it with the awesome Well Suited Designer Series Papers also from the mini catalog. It adds […]

I've done a lot with the ice cream images, but not much with the popsicles yet. Now I kind of want to put them everywhere!!!! I really wanted […]

I am so excited to be sharing with you today as part of the Creation Station Blog Hop! I am so excited to "sea" what everyone has created for this month's fun theme!!!! We were all challenged to be inspired by the ocean (or lake) this month for our projects!  I was born and raised in Southern California, and I feel like the ocean is part of who I am. That being said, I was quite surprised when I went to look for something to create with this month, and I really don't have anything "beachy" […]

DSP is an abbreviation that we often use for "Designer Series Paper" our "scrapbook paper".  (I also snuck in some Blends coloring, does that count as another technique?) For the "DIY DSP" I stamped the leaf and flower image in Just Jade […]

Well, due to some different circumstances, we needed to move our hop back a week. It's ok though, we wanted to make sure that you could have as many ideas with last month's Paper Pumpkin Kit – Here's To You as possible…  One of the things that I really liked about this set was that along with the kit supplies, I could use the awesome free gift of the stencils. It allowed me to create some great cards and tags. I actually made cards for each of my boys' […]
