Splashes of Watercolor

Hi everyone!  There’s going to be something exciting happening this coming Saturday, the 19th.   Claudia Rosa (aka ClaudiafromGermany) has gathered together a wonderful team of designers to have a one-of-a-kind blog hop.  Some of your (and our) favorite companies will be sponsoring the hop.  The purpose of this blog hop is to introduce you to […]

Today’s Ways to Use It challenge at Splitcoaststampers is to use red.   I can do that! This card was made as a birthday card for a child who loves balloons, but I don’t see why an adult wouldn’t love it too!   Using the Everyday Button Bits stamp set from Papertrey Ink, I created […]

  This week the Angel’s Landing design team was asked to create anything but a card. I thought it would be fun to try to create a home for the sweet little birds from the Mini Bears & Birds digi set.  I had downloaded a birdhouse template from Nicole Heady’s website several months ago and […]

I just don’t know if I’m ready for Halloween yet, but these precious little trick-or-treaters from C. C. Designs at  All That Scraps have surely started me thinking about it! They are sponsoring the Color Throwdown this week and you have a chance to win a very generous gift certificate, as well as having a […]

Yay, it’s another Wacky Wednesday challenge!  Bev (dear, sweet, talented lady that she is) told us we had to cut something out this week.  I tried not to go overboard with it.  I have been known to cut out everything! I love this Postage Heart (1679 SO) from Rubbernecker and just haven’t used it enough.  […]

For this week’s Color Throwdown challenge, I decided to go with a simple layout and minimal stamping.  And I like the result!!  Our exceptionally talented team member Barbara chose some gorgeous colors: Our sponsor this week is  Denise January (Sassy Stampin’), an independent Stampin’ Up! demo.  She is generously providing a free stamp set from […]

I’m still playing around with the multitude of Papertrey Ink stamp sets I purchased at CHA!  So much fun! This is a birthday card for a friend using Tea for Two, Damask Designs and a sentiment from Friends ‘Til the End.  And my new favorite SU color combo of Bermuda Bay and Soft Suede! Sorry […]
