Happy Tuesday Peeps

Just popping in quickly to share a card I made the other day while playing with some crumb cake and real red combo.

I used the Stampin Up Too Kind Stamp set and stamped the flower heads with Real Red and the stems are Old Olive.

The sentiment comes form the Best of Love stamp set and I stamped using black ink.

I added some twine and a heart button from my stash and then a couple of black brads in the top corner.

Easy Peasy!

Thanks for stopping by!

Sweet Sunday....Birthday Wishes

Happy Sunday Peeps!!

It is Sweet Sunday Sketch Day 

Here is the sweet sketch Karen has for us this week:

I started my card with a base of one of the new Stampin Up In Colors, this one is my favorite of the new colors, so far anyway! It is called Blackberry Bliss. The DSP on here is also new, from the  Moonlight Designer Series Paper Stack. It features some of the new in colors including the other one on my card which is Hello Honey!

I didn't use one of my new stamp sets but instead grabbed this flower stamp from the two part stamping set called Too Kind. I was in a hurry with this card and I knew i could make a  nice card with this set. I stamped the lighter part of the flower with the Blackberry Bliss ink by stamping it off once on scrap paper. Then I stamped the second part of the flower full strength. The stems are stamped with another new in color called Mossy Meadow. I am loving these new in colors. 

The sentiment is from the Petite Pairs stamp set and is also stamped with the Blackberry Bliss ink.

I added a strip of Blackberry ribbon across the middle section of the sketch and flagged the ends

I finished it off with a few basic pearls.

Now let's see what the rest of the girls did with this fun little sketch:

The Paper Players......You're too Kind

Happy Monday Peeps!!

I having been enjoying a three day weekend, I had Saturday, Sunday and Monday off work!! I got to do some stamping yesterday and today, along with attending a Baby Shower for my adopted niece, the daughter of my best friend,  she is having her first baby and we are all sooo excited for the arrival of little Miss Amelia.

I took a peek at the challenge this week over at The Paper Players and it is a great color challenge from my sweet blogging friend Sandy:

I really love this color combo after working with it on this card, these colors are so pretty together and of course if I can make a flower type card then I am a happy stamper!!! 

I used the oh so pretty Stampin Up set called "Too Kind", I love this set.

I used Crisp Cantaloupe and Strawberry Slush on the flower heads and the stems are Pear Pizzazz. 

Thanks for taking a look today and we will talk soon!

Happy Birthday Wishes and some Blog Candy

Hello Peeps!!!

Today I am sharing a card I made using two challenges, first up was the Dynamic Duos Color Challenge:

Before you all say I used an extra color, browns is one of the allowed neutrals, I used one of the new In Colors called Baked Brown Sugar. 

Then I tried to use the sketch this week on the Freshly Made Sketches Blog:

I guess I missed a layer, but you can still see the inspiration was there. I did add my small little flags on the opposite corner too.

I had seen a card made with this technique HERE and wanted to give it a try, normally I am not a technique person but this was so easy.

I made my card very similar to the one shown just changing colors and sentiment and placement.

I think it turned out nice, what do you think? 

Leave me a comment and I will have a drawing at the end of the week for a some Blog Candy.

I wanted to thank all my loyal readers and all those who have been so supportive the past year. I continue to get e-mails daily from all of you asking how things are going and letting me know that you miss me. It means a great deal to me.

So what is the Blog Candy you ask?

 How about this a $50.00 dollar Stampin UP shopping spree. 

That's right, one luck reader will get to place a 50.00 dollar Stampin Up order with me and have it shipped free of charge to your home!! Sorry, but this has to be limited to US readers only!

Be sure to leave your e-mail addy with your comment so I can contact you!

Thanks for stopping by and 

Have a great week!!

Happy Sunday Peeps!!

It is Sweet Sunday Sketch Day!!

I am so excited to share a card with you today, it felt so good to sit down and stamp on Friday, it had been awhile and I could tell, it took me too long to make this card, but I could not let this week go by without making a card, I love being apart of this sketch team, I think it is the first team I was ever asked to be a part of and I am still amazed that I am a part of a team of such incredibly talented ladies. I am getting mushy as I type this, I really don't feel worthy, but......anyway you didn't come here to hear me being emotional..LOL, so onto my card and the "Sweet Sketch" Karen has for us this week:

I pulled out some of my new Stampin Up goodies, a new floral set that I LOVE, called "Too Kind" and also new DSP from the Modern Melody and Birthday Basics

The flowers are a two step stamp and I used Crisp Cantaloupe and Raspberry Ripple on Very Vanilla card stock.

The base of the card is Basic Black and then a layer of Very Vanilla and all the DSP is matted with black card stock.

The sentiment is from the hostess set called "Simply Sketch" and I used two of the Very Vintage Buttons and I dyed a bit of the white Bakes Twine using my Raspberry Ripple ink pad and added it to the buttons. 

Be sure and check out what the rest of the lovelies did with this sketch:
