Creation Station ~ In My Neighborhood

 Welcome to the Creation Station Blog Hop!  This month we are sharing what's happening in our neighborhoods...whether it be events in your town, birthdays, vacations or other special events, we are excited to show you what's going on in our neighborhood :)

It is wildland fire season and we are surrounded by fires, which has created smoke filled skies for the past few weeks.  This also means my hubby has been putting in a lot of extra hours either fighting fires or helping cover for other members of the department who are out on fires.  The air quality is horrible and we all miss having my hubby home, but the sunrises and sunsets have been beautiful!  I always love finding beauty in something not so beautiful!

My first card was inspired by a picture I took the other night as the sun was setting.  The sun was a bight, almost neon, orange!  My boys and I sat outside and watch it set behind our sunflowers...it was stunning!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Whisper White, Basic Black

Ink ~ Old Olive, Tangerine Tango, Crushed Curry, Peekaboo Peach, Flirty Flamingo, Pool Party, Marina Mist, Basic Black

Stamp Set ~ Daisy Delight

 

Wheat harvest is also wrapping up in our area, which means we have lots of farm equipment and trucks traveling along the roads.  I love old farm trucks, which inspired my second card!

 

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Soft Suede, Wood Textures DSP, Watercolor Paper

Ink ~ Basic Black, Real Red, Soft Suede, Old Olive, Crumb Cake, Smoky Slate, Pool Party

Stamp Set ~ Country Livin', Happy Birthday Gorgeous

Other Supplies ~ Burlap Ribbon

 

What fun things are happening in your neighborhood?

Creation Station's Loving the New In-Color's

 Welcome to the Creation Station Blog Hop!  I am so excited to be joining this amazing group of stampers in their monthly blog hop!  Whether you are joining us from Denita's dynamic blog or this is your first stop, I am so excited to have you here!  This months theme is the new In-Colors and they are so beautiful!  I love how well all 5 colors go so well together!

My first project is a cute little popcorn box with a sweet treat for a friend who could use a little pick-me-up.  I love how quick you these boxes go together!  They make the perfect little gift box for any occasion!

The Lots of Love stamp set is one of my favorite stamp sets from the new catalog and was the perfect set to use with all of the new In-Colors.  I stamped the flowers in Powder Pink on the card front then added some fussy cut flowers in Berry Burst.

These were both clean and simple little creations, but they sure were fun! 

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Whisper White, Berry Burst, Powder Pink, Eastern Palace Specialty DSP

Ink ~ Berry Burst, Fresh Fig, Lemon Lime Twist, Powder Pink, Tranquil Tide

Stamp Set ~ Lots of Love

Other Supplies ~ Popcorn Box Thinlits, Stitched Shapes Framelits, Layering Circles Framelits
