I’m back! Sorry that i’ve been MIA from the challenges the past few weeks, it’s been difficult to find the time to stamp with my 2 year old’s nap time gone out the window. And my evening free time has been thwarted by both girls fighting bedtime…My 1 year old didn’t fall asleep until 10 tonight. [...]

Hi everyone! I’m back! Most of my stamp stuff is down in the basement now, ready to go (whew, that was a lot of work moving it all!) All I need now is better lighting and a comfy chair, and i’m all set! I had some time to stamp today (finally!) and boy, did it [...]

Hi! This week’s challenge was to create a card or project with a “giving thanks” theme. The first thing that came to mind is a Journal of Thanks. I’m going to use it during 2009 to write all the little things that I am thankful for on a daily basis. Like I have on the [...]

Well, I almost didn’t make it! After a week of colds, fevers, teeting, late nights and little sleep…let’s just say it’s been a loooooong week! I woke up today not even started on the challenge. However, all the cards were in my favor. Both girls gave me a few hours while they napped (yay, it’s the [...]

Well, better late than never! I wasn’t sure I’d have the time, but I got lucky and the girls took a 3 1/2 hour nap this afternoon! That is so rare…so I savored every moment as I made this small accordian album. This week’s challenge was to make something that we would give as [...]

This week’s challenge was to use Old Olive, Riding Hood Red, and Really Rust (along with Whisper White or Very Vanilla). I just couldn’t take that much color without diluting it with white…my mojo was on vacation as I tried to do a card with these colors this afternoon. Didn’t work. Ended up playing with [...]

Well, I got my copic markers…and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them! They are so fun to use! They take getting used to, and I sure have a lot to learn…but I think I did ok for my first try! I have a new appreciation, though, for those who use them to color images on their [...]

Today’s Blogger’s Challenge was an inspirational challenge…we were giving this photo to work with: I chose to use the colors, but not the design…partly because I just received my new Verve stamps yesterday and was itching to use them! I knew I wouldn’t have any more time to stamp until after the weekend, so I [...]

Oh, how I LOVE fall! It’s my favorite season…I love the cooler weather and the anticipation of all of the holidays around the corner. And now that it’s October, i’m pulling out all the Halloween decorations and putting my spooky spider decor elements (a new SU product) in the oval window of our front door. [...]

Hi ladies! Here’s my card for this week…Im not sure if it’s a true “warhol -style” card, but it’s what I was able to get done this week. I actually finished it on Tuesday, thinking I was actually ahead of the game…I was going to try another card with a different stamp set, then my [...]

Hi! I gotta be quick today…Christmas Card classes tonight, and lots to do! I did this card as fast as I could while the girls were watching Sesame Street this morning (whew, it’s rough making a card as quickly as you can, while trying to keep your two year old from grabbing your inkpads!) It [...]

Hi Ladies! Here is my card for this week’s Blogger’s Challenge! This week’s challenge was to use our new Designer Series Paper. And since i’m on a Christmas card kick, I chose to use the new Holiday Treasures. I stamped the image on whisper white, matted it with Chocolate Chip, covered it with versamark, and [...]

I made it in time! Yay! For the first time, I was able to complete the color inspiration challenge HERE. I hope I did these colors justice! I will add the recipe and techniques used later (after the girls get put to bed), but for now I want to post my entry before the deadline! [...]
