Splashes of Watercolor

I have 2 friends who both have a birthday this Thursday.  They live in different states and don’t know each other.  It’s ok to send them each identical cards, right? Well, that’s what I’m doing! I used Beate’s WSC98 sketch (which I love and will definitely use again), and Fifth Avenue Floral (which I love […]

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 […]

I’m headed down the road to visit my Mom, so I won’t have time to play today. I thought I’d show you a quick birthday card I had made for a male friend whose special day was July 4th.  Hi, Stevie! Sorry, I just HAD to add the little flower with the knot tied in […]

Hi all!  It’s time for another Color Throwdown and this week LeAnne presented a REAL challenge.  At least for me. I had a hard time with these colors.  But, you know, I think it’s because my entire house was once decorated in these colors when I was going through a country phase, and now I […]

I just love the color combination of this Stampin’ Up! Urban Oasis designer paper, so I chose to play off of that for an anniversary card for my DD and her husband. I also decided to try the ribbon rose that I had seen and was totally wowed by on Christine’s blog.  She has a […]

It’s HOT outside!  I don’t know about where you are, but the temperatures here have been in the 90’s for a couple of weeks, with no relief in sight!  Thank goodness for pools, lakes, rivers, beaches, and beer!! The hugely talented and effervescent Bev is hosting our Wacky Wednesday this week.  She’s come up with […]

It’s been a long time since I’ve had a chance to play along with the Featured Stamper challenge at Splitcoaststampers, so when the opportunity arose this morning I jumped right on it! Today’s featured artist is Christy S.  She’s got a great gallery!  This is the card I chose to CASE.  I used the same […]
