Good Morning & Happy Friday Stamping Friends!!!!!

It's time for a new challenge @ Simply Create Too & for the next 2 weeks we want to see your Fall/Autumn creations.  I used a new stamp set called For All Things along with my new Color Me Autumn DSP to make my creation for today!  I spent a little time perusing the sketches from the Deconstructed Sketch blog & I settled on this one because I felt it went perfectly with my stamp set.  I love the texture from the woodgrain embossing folder & I thought the leaves/acorns would be a fun addition to my design.  I  also couldn't do without just a bit of bling so I used a few rhinestones to finish it off.  I'm very, very pleased with the final result & I think it makes a pretty good masculine card!  My teammates also made some wonderful creations so check out our blog to see what they came up with & while you're there; read up on our rules so you can play along with us!  I'm looking forward to seeing your Fall/Autumn works of art....have fun everyone & happy stamping!!!!!

A Bit of Sharing Today.....


Happy Friday Everyone!
I hope you've all had a great week.....mine has been kind of hectic which is why I'm sharing someone else's work for you to admire today.  This beauty made by Nancy Brundidge was posted on the SU! site & it immediately caught my eye!!  Spotlighting is one of my fave techniques to do & I thought her card really captured it with those adorable snowmen.  I love her design & how she colored this image.....too CUTE!!

In other news.....Bianca's Christmas Concert is this afternoon & I'm looking forward to watching her perfomance!!  I'll be back tomorrow with my Etsy post but right now I have to run to work so I better get moving.   Thanks so much for stopping by & have a great rest of the day!!!

20,000 Hits!!!!

Happy Tuesday Everyone!

I wanted to check in with you all and let you know that I'm OK just supah busy with my Convention stuff right now! Convention is creepin' up ever so slowly and I'm almost done with everything except my general swaps---not sure how many I'm going to do but I do know that they'll mostly be a 3D type.

I'm sharing a beautiful card from the SU! website that caught my eye. Selene Kempton created this gorgeous card and I really love her background & the resist technique she used.....marvelous idea!

I'm also totally stoked with the 20,000 hits peeps! We'll be celebrating with some blog candy---I've been collecting some awesome goodies for this occasion so stay tuned for that post. I hope to have everything up by this weekend so you can *see* what your prize will be!!!!!

I have class in a bit so I better get moving. I hope to be back with something that I made or at the least....say HI! Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great rest of the day!!
