#tgifc154 - Color Challenge

Hello from warm and sunny Las Vegas!!  I'm soaking up the sunshine for the weekend and meeting up with some of my favorite Stampin' Up! Demonstrators for OnStage :-)  This means I'll also get to hug a few of my favorite TGIF Challenges Design Team members too!  

Speaking of TGIF Challenges, we have a pretty color challenge for you this week!

Paper ~ Whisper White, Sweet Sugarplum, Vellum, Tutti Frutti DSP

Ink ~ Basic Black, Flirty Flamingo, Sweet Sugarplum

Stamp Sets ~ Jar of Love, Coffee Cafe, Cool Treats

Happy Tuesday stamping friends!

 

It may have been the first day of Spring yesterday, but it sure didn't feel like it in my neck of the woods...our temps were still below freezing in the early morning hours.  BRRRR!

I was drawn to wood plank and flowers in this photo and had to create another wood background!

Paper ~ Whisper White, Soft Sky, Smoky Slate, Watercolor

Ink ~ Smoky Slate, Soft Sky, Blushing Bride, Calypso Coral, Island Indigo, Old Olive

Happy Monday stampin' friends!

I hope you had a fabulous weekend and got to enjoy a little bit of sunshine!  We had one day of cold rain, but it burned off and we had a beautiful sun-shiny day yesterday!  Much needed for this momma as I've been feeling a bit under the weather.

It's time for an all new SSINK Inspiraiton Challenge and we have a beautiful picture to help inspire your creativity today!  I was drawn to the beautiful lavender fields in this picture and used that for my inspiration in today's card.

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Whisper White, Perfect Plum, Elegant Eggplant

Ink ~ Perfect Plum, Elegant Eggplant, Pool Party, Tempting Turquoise, Old Olive

Stamp Sets ~ Jar of Love, Crazy About You

Other Supplies ~ Hello You Thinlits, Everyday Jars Framelits

 

I haven't used many shades of purple lately...I was quickly reminded how much I love these colors!

 

How will you be INKspired to create today?  I can't wait to see what you come up with!

 

Happy Stamping!

 



#TGIFC92 ~ Inspired by the amazing Jeanna Bohanon

Hello stampers and TGIF!!!  It's the day of the week we all long for because we know at the end of the day we have the weekend ahead of us and a few days away from the daily grind!

 

Speaking of Friday...TGIF is taking on a whole new meaning for me as I have been asked to be a part of the amazing TGIF Challenges design team!  It is a true honor to be joining a team of such amazing talent!

 

And speaking of amazing talent, my sweet friend Jeanna is in the spotlight today and we are creating based on inspiration from her beautiful creations!

I've followed Jeanna's blog for quite some time now and LOVE her work! 

 

I was drawn to THIS card that Jeanna made a while back for her anniversary...

 

It's been a while since I've inked the Jar of Love set up, so it was due for a little attention.  I added the Friend sentiment in place of the Love sentiment that Jeanna used as this card was sent to pretty lady who celebrated her birthday yesterday!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Whisper White

Ink ~ Sweet Sugarplumb, Rose Red, Blushing Bride, Flirty Flamingo, Old Olive, Basic Black, Smoky Slate, Soft Sky

Stamp Set ~ Jar of Love

Other Supplies ~ Everyday Jars Framelits, Succulent Garden Sweet Sugarplum Ribbon

 

I hope you all have a fantastic Friday!!

 

Happy Stamping!

 

 

 

 

 

 



Jar Full of Thanks

Happy Tuesday stampers!  If you had yesterday off, I hope you enjoyed every minute of it!

I was blessed to have the day off at home with my boys and we took on the job of painting our chicken coop. It was fun to have all of us out there painting :-) And now that I think about it, the color we painted it is pretty darn close to Dapper Denim.  I must have the latest Hand Stamped Sentiments color challenge on my mind when I picked out the paint color!

Can you believe this is the first time I've used Sweet Sugarplum?!?!  Usually I break my inks in as soon as I get them.  Thankfully things are slowing down a bit and stamping is happening a bit more than it did throughout the summer.  

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Dapper Denim, Very Vanilla

Ink ~ Dapper Denim, Sweet Sugarplum, Flirty Flamingo, Old Olive, Smoky Slate

Stamp Set ~ Jar of Love

Other Supplies ~ Everyday Jars Framelits, Flirty Flamingo Ribbon

Have a fun Tuesday!!

Happy Stamping!

Twinkle, Twinkle Little Firefly

Happy Wednesday stampin' friends!

Summer is officially here and I'm loving the long summer nights.  Even with all the craziness of selling our house, we still manage to find time to enjoy some family time together.  Most nights you can find us outside soaking up every bit of sunshine that we can get.

Catching fireflies in a jar is something that every kid should experience in the summer time.  The Jar of Love stamp set is so darn cute and I am so happy the designer of this set added the little firefly!  The design team over at SSINK is having lots of fun with this stamp set and coordinating dies today, so be sure to head on over and check out their creations!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Whisper White, Night of Navy, Silver Foil

Ink ~ Crushed Curry, Night of Navy, Smoky Slate, Basic Black

Stamp Set ~ Jar of Love, Diagonal Stripe

Other Supplies ~ Everyday Jar Framelits, Layering Circle Framelits, Confetti Stars Banner Punch

Sadly, this is my last post as an SSINK Design Team Member.  I have loved every minute of being a part of this team and hope to be back some day soon.  While I take a little time off, I will still be following along with their INKspiring posts and play along when I can.  Much love to all of the SSINK DT Members!

Happy Stamping!
