I am so excited that have been able to keep up with doing these challenges lately. I actually had to clean off my desk. One of the shelves over my desk was starting to fall. Since I had to take that down and re-organize, I used that as my starting point. Then I also had to re-organize since we are getting new furniture in my family room. I can't tell you how much better I feel stamping when my

Oh my goodness! It has been over a year since I posted on this blog! Sometimes life just takes a turn and some priorities need to get rearranged. Well, it is time I re-arrange again! So hopefully, I can get back to posting more often! For my first post of 2012, I have some color challenge cards for you. The colors were Always Artichoke, Lucky Limeade, Pacific Point and Island Indigo. Once I had

One of my favorite things to do at the weekend events I go to is the shoebox swap. This is where all of the participants bring a project for the rest of us to complete. This time, I brought this cute little Play Date Post it note holder.For this project you simply cover a 4x4" coaster or piece of chipboard with some Designer Series Paper, (here I used Play Date DSP). Then add your post it pad and

This week's color challenge was getting us thinking about Valentine's day! The colors were Soft Suede, Pretty in Pink and Very Vanilla. My sister in law has been asking me for years now to do another Quick cards class... so I decided to make thisw color challenge a "Quick Card" that will be part of my next stamp a stack.I have 2 versions to show you.

The colors for the week were Rich Razzleberry and Not Quite Navy. I used the Sale a Bration set called Good Neighbor. I have to say that I had a vision of this card in my head and on my first shot at making it, it didn't quite come out

Do you remember a few years back when these tumpled tiles were all the rage in the stamping world? They were everywhere!! Well, with our new Shimmer Paints, they are back! I am sorry that my pictures are just not doing this tile justice! I will work on getting a better picture...I got the idea for this tile from fellow demo, Andrea Walford. She posted a similar tile made with the Angel stamp.

I know corny... but ya know it is the little things in life right!!!The colors for this week were Blush Blossom, Ruby Red and Close to Cocoa. I find that I never use Blush Blossom unless it is in one of these color challenges

So this week's color challenge was to use Old Olive, Really Rust, Sahara Sand and Bashful Blue! I decided to get fancy and use My Digital Studio this week to make my color challenge! Now, this page I created from scratch, so like any scrapbook page, it took me awhile. I had to decide so many things and I just kept playing. The difference with the digital stuff is that I didn't have to throw a

Then, the interface is also so easy to use! I made all of these pages in under 1 hour and I just loaded it this afternoon! Now, I was not picky and I just used one of the templates provided!

This is best selling new stamp set right now! I love it! It is such a versatile stamp and so easy to use! Here, I just stamped it on Crushed Curry card stock in Soft Suede ink. I added the grommet and brad in the center. Finally, I stamped the sentiment in the bottom corner, also in Soft Suede ink, and then layered it on a Soft Suede card. Quick and Easy!

Here is another card using Patty Bennet's Brayered Roses technique! This time I used both Crushed Curry and Melon Mambo on the roses. The card base is Crushed Curry. The "Best Wishes" comes from the Oval All set. The scallop oval is punched from Melon Mambo cs. A nice simple card - one of my favorite kinds!

I started by Brayering the whole sheet with so Saffron. Then, I brayered from the top down, not totally covering the Saffron, with

The latest Creative Challenge for my group was an inspiration challenge. The picture that was to be our inspiration was this picture of dishes from Walmart. As soon as I saw these dishes, I thought, Priceless, the stamp set that is! I also saw the colors Night of Navy and a little So Saffron along with Whisper White!

This week's colors were Really Rust, Baja Breeze and Chocolate Chip. These colors go really well together!I have had this tin sitting on my desk ready to be altered for a long time now! I guess I have been looking for the right inspiration to decorate it. The tin held Mulling spices from Williams-Sonoma. I simply cleaned it out and let it dry thoroughly. I took a piece of Designer Series paper

Last week's color challenge colors were Chocolate Chip, Baja Breeze, Very Vanilla and Certainly Celery. I wanted to try the latest craze in watercoloring techniques. You can see a great tutorial by Patty Bennett here.It came out ok... I think I need some practice to get it just right. Also, I think the colors got a little washed out in the picture. Anyway, I chested a little on the colors and

Well, I am just about caught up now. This color challenge was to use Chocolate Chip, Tangerine Tango and Kiwi Kiss. I like all of these colors and I even like them toghether... but I am not sure I like them for this card.I embossed the Tangerine Tango card stock with the Manhattan flowers enbossing folder. Next, I wrapped that piece of CS with the Kiwi Kiss and Very Vanilla satin ribbon (have I

I made 2 versions of this card. One with the brads on the bottom the other with the new small grommets from the Occassions mini! I used the ones with the grommets for my swap at Spring Fling.Spring Fling is a

So over the next few days, I will post my color challenges from the last 3 or so weeks.This was from April 7th. The colors were Certainly Celery, Sage Shadow, Pretty in Pink, and So Saffron. My inspiration for this project was based on another challenge I saw on

On April 1st, Stampin' Up! released the new pop-up dies for the Sizzix Big Shot. Best part is they are not available anywhere else yet! Anyway, there is a birthday cake pop up and a ball pop up. Both dies come with great instructions and make amazing cards, scrap pages or decorations.Here is a card that I made with the Birthday cake pop up. I made for a birthday party my daughter was

Ok.... so I am posting this late as usual! My sister, Shine, has been on my case for days. She has been telling me, "People want to see new things on your blog, not just the same picture for weeks. Now, go update your blog so I can see some of your new projects...."I know that she is right! But, sometimes, life just gets in the way... So, I hope that you will continue to check out my blog and

As soon as I saw this new Big Shot die, I knew that I had to have it! Not only did I have a million ideas in my head, but then my friend Stasia posted this link to another demos blog, with this amazing project and I just had to copy it!So here is my take on the treasure chest. I used the new Walk in the Park DSP that will be available on April 1st in the new Occassions mini catalog.

Here are a few more of the awesome swap cards I received from the Big Shot and Favorite new set swap.This one was made by Dawn Byers.This creation is by Laura Davis.... and finally the last one was made by Tami Carder-Loos.Aren't they amazing?

I recently joined a swap. The swap was to make a card using your favorite new stamp set and the Big Shot. The cards I got back were amazing!! So I thought I would share them with you over the next few days.This first one is my card. I used the Fifth Avenue Floral set and the Beautiful Butterflies Bigz Die for the Big shot. The "Happiness" comes from the Heard from the Heart set. The colors are

The card you see below is a very special card! Not only was it made with by me with love - which makes it special all by itself, but it also satifies the requirements for two different challenges!First, is this week's color challenge. The colors this week are: Perfect Plum, Old Olive, Rose Red, and More Mustard. THese are not colors I would have thought to put together, but I really like them so

This week the colors were Old Olive, Real Red, More Mustard and Very Vanilla. I combined this challenge with the Weekend Sketch Challenge (This week, hosted by Lori.) This color combo was a little tough for me. Anyway, I stated with an Old Olive card. I added the very Vanilla panel. Next, I took two pieces of Designer Series Paper from the Hostess packs. The smaller one is Real red and the Larger

Well, I am a little late posting this challenge. I had a few ideas, but never got them down on paper until yesterday! Thank God for Snow Days! So the latest Creative Challenge was for a Fancy Fold. It could be a card, scrapbook page or 3-d item as long as it had a special fold.I have had these templates sitting on my desk that I bought years ago. I have never used them! So This was the perfect

This week's colors were Pacific Point, Old Olive, and Tangerine Tango. I decided to use Beate's Sketch challenge for this card. So, once I had the sketch and the colors the only thing left was to choose the stamps! I chose Baroque Motifs and Dreams Du Jour. I stamped the Old Olive card with the big swirl stamp from Baroque Motifs in Old Olive ink. Then, I cut a strip of Pacific Point and ran it

Last week's color challenge was to use: Pacific Point, Bashful Blue, More Mustard and Old Olive. I found these little paper bags that I got at a craft store. They are 3 1/4" x 6 1/2". Anyway, I got to thinking about them and decided to make a little paper bag book.For the cover, I used Pacific Point layered with a piece of Bashful Blue dsp. Next I stamped the Rock Star stamp on Whisper White CS

Happy Valentine's Day!!Here are a few Valentine's that I made using the Love you Much stamp set and Candy Lane DSP.This first one uses the Gift Card Holders. Don't forget to stamp the envelope too! This next one was kind of an accident. The Big bird is printed on one fo the sheets of DSP. It is actually 2 birds like the stamp in the set. Anyway, when I was making another project, I

This Creative Challenge was to use a card in the Sale-a-Bration catalog for the layout. The card was on page 9. It is the Birthday card shown here. We were able to use any colors or stamps we wanted to, but just had to use the layout or sketch of this card. Here is the card that I came up with. I started with a Rose Red card. I added a strip of Raspberry Tart DSP on the right edge. Next,

Ok.... well with Valentine's day being right around the corner, this week's color challenge is to use Riding Hood Red and Pink Pirouette. So, Since I am not feeling so great... I wanted to keep it simple!Here is my cute little creation!This card is 4x4" made out of Pink Pirouette CS. I added a 3 3/4" square of Candy Lane dsp to the front. Next, I cut a strip 3 7/8" long of Pink PIrouette and

Hi All,Last week's color challenge was Pretty in Pink, Rose Red, and Close to Cocoa. I needed to make little Valentine's for my mom to give to her teachers, so I thought, let's combine the two! Here is what I came up with! For the box, I used the pillow box die from the Big Shot. Next, I ran the cut out boxes through the Big Shot again using the Texture plates.

This week's color challenge was Basic Grey and Pink Pirouette. I started with a Pink Pirouette card. I layered a piece of Baisc Grey on top. Next, I cut out a piece of Candy Lane DSPusing the Top Note die and my big shot. Then, I stamped the sentiment from the new Sale-a-Bration set in Basic Grey on the bottom of the Top Note. I wrapped a piece of striped Pink Pirouette ribbon around the Top

So here is last week's and tomorrow, I will post this week's.The Colors were Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, Always Artichoke, and Sahara Sand. I stamped part of the Baroque Background stamp in Artichoke ink on Sahara Sand. It is a little hard to see in the photo, but this is layered on Old Olive and then on a chocolate chip card. (The

This week's color challenge is Kiwi Kiss, Baja Breeze, and Not Quite Navy. I have been wanting to make one of these Top Note boxes for awhile and have been putting it off. Why? I don't know.... because I had to take things off of my Big Shot to get at it and I was being lazy. OK - so that is why.So this was the perfect time to just do it! Clean up and use your stuff, Kel!!

Hi Everyone, Lately, I have been playing with my Love you Much Bundle which comes with the Love You Much Stamp Set, Candy Lane DSP and The new 3 heart punch(it has another name, but you know which one I mean). I remembered that I had bought some of the empty Accents and Elements tins awhile back. So, I decided to make a scrapbook.Let's start with the cover. I kept this simple and just stamped and

HI Everyone,I told you a few weeks ago about the new Creative Challenge I was going to start posting for my group. Well, the first one of the year is to use the Pretties kit on a project. My friend, Traci, posted a page she did last summer. Well, she inspired me to do a scrap page too.So, here it is.This is a 6x6 page. This pic is of my daughter and her friend from school.

So the first color challenge of the year is Chocolate Chip, Kiwi Kiss, Riding Hood Red, and Pink Pirouette. These are the colors in the Bella Rose Designer Series Paper(DSP). I have loved this paper since it came out. So was excited to use it in this challenge.I am not sure I am loving this card.... But it was a little out of the box for me. It looked much different in my head. Anyway here are

HI Everyone,Ok, so last week's colors were Bravo Burgundy and Creamy Caramel. I actually had this card done last Tuesday, but just didn't have a chance to get it posted. I hope you will forgive me!! So here it is.I used the stamp set Scandinavian Season for this one. This set is in the current mini catalog. I stamped the tree in Silver Encore ink on Bravo Burgundy CS and embossed it with silver

So not too long ago, I placed an order for some of the new Decor Elements. I wasn't esactly sure what I was going to do with them... But I had to have them. Well, I finished a few projects. Most of my inspiration for these projects came while I was walking through Target and Walmart. This board I found at Walmart for about $7.00. The top part is a white magnetic board and the bottom is a bulletin

Well, I finally got this one done. The colors for this week were Night of Navy, Handsome Hunter and Blush Blossom. This was a bit of a challenge. I very rarely use Handsome Hunter or Blush Blossom so this was very tough. But I am always up for a challenge. I knew that I wanted to use my new set called Season of Simple Grace. I kept it simple!! My card base is Handsome Hunter. I stamped the Holy

I wanted to share these cards with you. They were from my birthday 5 card class last week. They were all very easy cards. Pretty much just straight stamping. The one with the tasty looking drink had some watercoloring with my Watercolor Wonder Crayons and an Aqua Painter. If you would like this class kit, I still have a few left. They are $15 including Shipping. Please e-mail me for more

So far I haven't really shared many, Ok any, photos of my family. So, I thought I would share these few pics from our recent trip to Pick Pumpkins. I hope to get these scrapbooked soon, but for now the pics themselves will have to do! This first pic is my son, John, who just turned 7 and my daughter Caelen, who is about to turn 5. We have been taking pics of them like this on the pumpkins since

So I have been keeping up with the color challenges - just not keeping up with getting them posted. So here is last week's : Pretty in Pink, Regal Rose and Old Olive. I used the new Scandinavian Season set and Wheel from the Holiday Mini. The tree is stamped on Shimmery White CS with Old Olive Craft ink and embossed with Iridescent Ice EP. I then colored it in a little with my Aqua Painter. I

Hi Everyone,I hope you are having a great week! I finally had some time to play today and make this week's color challenge. In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month and women, this week was anything Pink!! So, I went with Pink Pirouette ink and CS. I stamped the Baroque Background stamp on Shimmery White with the Pink Pirouette ink. Then, I stamped the flowers from Inspired by Nature, also in

Ok... so I have been seeing these "Frankie's" on several blogs and I had to give them a try. I also saw this post on Carrie Rhoades' blog. I knew then that I wanted to make a few different Halloween friends. So here is what I came up with...so far.All were cut out using my Top Note Bigz die and my Big Shot. I layered them first and then cut them out. For the Mummy, I used strips of white paper

This week's color challenge was a tough one for me. The colors are Rose Red, So Saffron and Orchid Opulence. For someone who loves purple, I am not a fan of Orchid Opulence! I don't use it very often at all!!!!Anyway, here is what I came up with.This first card really did not caom out as I envisioned it in my head... but I think it has grown on me throughout the day. I used the Pocket Silhouettes

Hi Everyone,This week's colors are Bashful Blue, Pumpkin Pie and Apricot Appeal. I decided to go to my catalog and go to a random page again! This time I opened to page 59 and used the Simply Said card as my inspiration. I do have the Simply Said set but decided to use my Fall Flair set instead. I even had some of the materials I needed right out on my desk. First I took a piece of Shimmery White

This week's Color Challenge was to use Always Artichoke, Creamy Caramel and Regal Rose. I also decided to use Beate's new weekend sketch challenge. I started with a 5.5x11" piece of Alaways Artichoke folded in half. I stamped the edge of this with Artichoke ink and the outline Butterfly stamp from the set "Flight of the Butterfly" (#111564 $31.95). Next I cut a piece of Creamy Caramel at

So, the Demo in my group who posts the color challenge is Colleen. Well, at Fall Fest, the event I went to last weekend, she was asking people if we were one of the "color girls". Well, it kind of stuck. So I added the list of "Color Girls" to my side bar this way you can easily check out their blogs anytime and see their entries for the color challenges each week.As more girls join us in our

Last night I had my Upsy Daisy Class. The ladies who attended really enjoyed the cards, so I thought I would share them with you! You have seen 2 of them previously, but ya know, it never hurts to show them again. The one on the top was inspired by a card I saw while browsing around. I will try to figure out who made it and let you know. To create the sunset look, I used my brayer and some

So, the other day I was checking out some other blogs of my favorite stampers and I came across this little beauty created by Lisa Sommerville. Well, I knew I needed to make one..... So here is my version. I used the Urban Garden DSP. I also got to use my Curly Label punch bundle. The "Good Times" is from the Celebrate Everything set. I even got to add on of the Flowers from the new Flower Fusion

OK.... I know haven't posted all week! The kids are finally going back to school and I am trying to get back into a schedule. I think my body is going into shock. Anyway, this week's color challenge was to use Chocolate Chip, Kiwi Kiss (or Old Olive), and Pumpkin Pie. Last night was the first chance I had to sit down and work on this. I also was feeling like I had no idea what I was going to do.

Hi Everyone,Well, I am sitting here winding down from the first session of my New Catalog Open House and thought I would send you the color challenge card from this week that I made. I also have been busy making some samples with my Big Shot!!! I will share some of those in the next few days. But today's color challenge is one of them. (Sorry the pic is a little crooked!)

I love this sample. It was made by Stampin' Up!'s very own Brent Steele. He always makes the most amazing projects on stage at Convention! This one was done on one of those clear frames with the glass on the front and back. He then added a piece of Designer Series Paper in the center with a photo of his sons. On the top piece of glass, he added the white swirls from one of the Decor Elements. On

So I am doing a little catching up today!This Card is from the week of July 22nd. The colors were Real Red, Certainly Celery and Old Olive. The theme was Christmas in July.
