Gathering Birthday Wishes

Happy Monday Montage friends!  Hop along with us over on Instagram to see all of the fabulous projects we have to share with you this week!

In honor of the first day of Autumn, I'm sharing a very fall-friendly birthday card using the Gathering Moments bundle and With You In Mind stamp set

Inspired by the latest Freshly Made Sketches Challenge, I arranged the falling leaves around the Happy Birthday sentiment.
Mossy Meadow, Old Olive, Lemon Lime Twist, Basic Beige, Pecan Pie and Crumb Cake are the perfect colors as we begin our tumble into fall colors.  Things are still green around my yard, but I know they will be chasing quickly!

Happy Stamping!

Fall on the Farm

Welcome to an all new Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge!

I used these fall friendly colors for a Pretty Peacock tractor full of pumpkins and hay.  Sweet and simple, yet oh-so-cute!

More Than Autumn helped with the perfect sentiment in the fluffy white clouds and the Sunshine Vibes sunburst gives off all of the Indian summer vibes!

Join along in the colorful fun and share your creations with us!

Peaceful Prayers

Happy Friday and welcome to the latest TGIF Challenges Sketch Challenge!


Peaceful Days and Peace on Earth stamp sets came together for this simple, yet meaningful card.  This week has been filled with so much heartache and hurt...heartfelt prayers are what will see us through.

I stamped this beautiful dove in Secret Sea on Cloud Cover cardstock.  Isn't it so pretty?  A few squares of Peaceful Garden DSP helped to complement this pretty little bird, along with a few tone on tone flowers stamped in the background.


Wishing you all a restful and heart healing weekend, that hopefully consists of some creative therapy.  Join along in the fun this week at TGIF Challenges!

Happy Stamping!

Remember When...

Welcome to the September edition of Around the World on Wednesday!  This month we are looking back and remembering when...such as remembering our first stamp set, or remembering the trends of our youth.  It could be remembering a loved one or an event in our life that we remember.  The possibilities are endless!  

As we continue through the year, we are also CAS(e)ing a team member and this month that team member happens to be me!  I can't wait to hop along and see everyone's creations!  Whether you are just getting started or have arrive here from Chris Smith, be sure to hop all the way through!



With today being the eve of the 24th anniversary of 9/11, I chose to remember that day and honor all of the brave fire fighters who ran to help on this horrific day in history.  Being the wife and a mom of firefighters, I hold an extra special place in my heart for all of them.

I used the Painted Stripes background stamp, adding one single Real Red line to symbolize the courage and solidarity of the fire service.  The sentiment from The Right Words was absolutely perfect for this card.

This card is a CAS(e) of a scrapbook page I made for a dear family friend, and co-worker of my husband, who passed away while on duty, nearly 2 years ago.  As I said, those in the fire service hold a very special place in my heart.


Keep on hopping to see what Teri West has created for us today!

Gathering Moments of Color

Welcome to the latest TGIF Challenges Color Challenge!  These colors are absolutely GORGEOUS together!

I inked up the newly released Gathering Moments stamp set for this color challenge.  Strawberry Slush leaves in the fall are a thing, right?  Well, if they aren't, they are now!
Inspired by this weeks Freshly Made Sketches, I clustered the colorful leaves around a simple Gather sentiment.  I love the added plaid around the edges.  The Gathering Leaves embossing folder added just the right amount of texture to the Basic White card front.  I splattered a little Secret Sea for good measure, along with a bit of destructed Secret Sea ribbon.

Join along in this weeks colorful fun!

Happy Stamping!

A Little Kindness...

...makes a big difference.

Welcome to the latest Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration Challenge.  This challenge has all of the fall feels...perfect for the start of September.


The Sunflower 3D embossing folder is an absolute favorite of mine and I'm so happy it's back in stock!  Order yours before today!

I took my Stampin' Blends to an embossed piece of Basic White and had a good session of color therapy.  Darling Duckling, Lemon Lime Twist, Cloud Cover and Pecan Pie are so gorgeous together.

I used the Label Me Grateful bundle to create the sentiment and added embellishments.  A little pop of Secret Sea was just what this card needed.

I hope you'll join us in kicking off September and sharing your creativity!

Happy Stamping!
