Kind Baroque Motifs.


I am doing yet another challenge from Kerin at Stamps, Paper, Glitter for SPGSC28. I won last week and I was sooo excited. For this one I have used the stamp set Baroque Motifs. I really like this set. I use More Mustard CS as a base with Rose Red, Night of Navy, and Old Olive. I played with my crimper on the Night of Navy strip to give it texture. The flowers have a dot of glitter in the middle. (not sure if you can see that from the pic). This is Kerin's last challenge for a while. I am going to miss them. I have really enjoyed doing the challenges as it gets me thinking and creating. Thanks Kerin so much.
I hope you enjoy this card. I will be creating more this week. I really like this layout.

Congrats Star


Today was a long day with rain pretty much all day. So what is a girl to do when it is raining outside but stamp. I did another card for Kerin's sketch challenge #27. For this card I used the star from the set Fun and Fast notes. I used a cracked glass technique on the star. Not sure if you can see it or not in the pic. I embossed the image about 3 times and then put it in the freezer for about 1 minute. Took it out and "cracked" the paper. I love this look.
Kerin's challenges will give you a sketch to go by and you have to come up with the paper and images. This has really gotten my creative juices flowing. I thank you so much Kerin.

Another Challenge from Kerin


Hello All.
Well I am doing another challenge from Kerin over at Stamps, Paper, Glitter! I have really gotten into the challenges. I think it has helped my creativity grow. For this one I have used one of my favorite new sets; Animal Stories. I love the little animals. I have Old Olive cs as a base layered with Close to Cocoa, So Saffron and Rose Red. Tall Tales dsp was used at the bottom. I embossed the So Saffron with swirls. The elephant is embossed to make him shiny. Thank you Kerin for making me think this morning. I think that I may do another one as well.

WOW the Waterfalls.





Today was a great day. Kids went to Grandma's and Grandpa's for the day with the hubby. I had a stamp club with Stacey. It was a wonderful relaxing time. We did 3 wonderful projects. I will post pics of those later. So, since the kids were all gone for the entire day, I stayed at Stacey's and guess what we did.. WE STAMPED. What else. So after a wonderful dinner (thanks Stacey) we sat down and made these amazing waterfall cards. We did the Serene Snowflakes last night from the new Holiday Mini. We also used the new Shimmer Paint on the flakes. Well, I fell in LOVE. I got up this morning and made another waterfall with my Animal Stories using the Tall Tale DSP. Lovin it is all I can say. I will be making more of these especially the snowflakes for Christmas.
Thanks so much for letting me share these with you.
