Motivational Monday Challenge - Feb 15th!!

Sometimes inspiration can come to us in the most unexpected ways. That is what is so great about this hobby we all have and love so much! Inspiration makes it EASY!

I have had my cousin's little girl here for the past 3 days and she is so fun and so sweet.........and so much work when you are just used to one teenager who wants nothing to do with you.....LOL!But, the point is........I have little girl clothes on the BRAIN!

Soooooooo................my challenge for you today is to take this ADORABLE vintage baby dress and use it as inspiration for a card, layout or whatever other crafty project you may be working on!!

Post a link to your creation here on my blog, in the comments section so that I can see what you have come up with, by Saturday February 20th.......and remember just because all I use is Stampin Up product....don't feel like you can't play along if you don't have any!

Here is my card :-)

Thanks for Stampin' with Tess!

Happy Valentine's Day Stampers!!

My husband is away this Valentine's Day so I am spending the evening Stamping instead of with him....and I have already finished up 2 cards! YAY! My girlfriend Heather and I are actually stamping together, virtually! We do this every once in awhile......when we can't get together to stamp in person :)

Anyway......here are a couple of the cards that I have made tonight! And they are NOT Valentine's!!

How did YOU spend your Valentine's Day? Happy Heart Day to all!!

P.S. Watch for my Motivational Monday challenge I will be posting tomorrow :) I have decided to get back into posting them weekly!

Thanks for Stampin' with Tess!

:)

Happy Sunday!

Good afternoon Stampers! I spent some time down in my craft room today, making a couple of cards and preparing for a couple of swaps I am playing along with. It felt good to get inky and I am planning on heading back down there as soon as we are finished with supper!

For now though, I wanted to share with you a couple of cards that I made so far! I played along with a sketch challenge posted over at Card Positioning Systems for this first one...

And then I used up some of the leftover supplies from my Stamp Club class on Sunday night and created another variation of one of the cards we made!

Have you done any Stamping lately? I hope you are all having a fabulous weekend! Back to the grind tomorrow!

Help Make a Difference...

Hello Stampers!! I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas!! I don't know about you but I am ready to put the holidays behind me this year and move on!! I am looking forward to the new year and all that it may bring :) Do you have any resolutions for this New Year's Eve? One of mine is to spend more time stamping!! I have really been out of touch with my craft room lately and it's time for me to get back to it!!

Motivational Monday Challenge - Nov. 30th, 2009

Good evening all!! IT SNOWED TODAY!! I am usually NOT a snow enthusiast but being that tomorrow is Dec 1st and we are so close to Christmas it was actually kind of welcomed.....at least by me :) I have just returned from the Dentist's office after having a couple of fillings done so I am going to make this one short and sweet.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it is.........a "RECIPE" of sorts! Here is what I want to see this week......

Clean, Simple, Elegance.......THANK YOU theme and the color Bermuda Bay used somewhere! I don't care if it's ink, paper or embellies or if you keep it Monochromatic like I did.....just don't forget to combine your ingredients for this Stampin' delish recipe challenge!

CLEAN.........SIMPLE..........ELEGANT........THANK YOU.........BERMUDA BAY.........

Easy, right?!?!?

Here is my card.....

On your mark........get set..........STAMP!!!

P.S. Don't forget to leave a link to YOUR creation in the comments section of this post to be entered in the draw for this week's prize!!

P.P.S. If you don't have Bermuda Bay.....feel free to replace it with a close comparison....like Tempting Turquoise for example.....:)

Thanks for Stampin' with Tess :)
