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!
