Make a {Birthday} Wish Upon a Star

It's Tuesday and time for a new HSS Color Challenge!

 

I have to admit, Rose Red is a color I don't use very often and I don't know why...it's so pretty!  And paired up with these other two colors it's awesome!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Smoky Slate, Whisper White, Regals Collection DSP Stack (Rose Red)

Ink ~ Rose Red, Smoky Slate, Midnight Muse

Stamp Sets ~ Off the Grid, Gorgeous Grunge, Perfect Pennants, Simply Stars

Other Supplies ~ Smoky Slate Chevron Ribbon, Midnight Muse Stitched Satin Ribbon, Whisper White Bakers Twine

 

As you might notice, my photo background is a bit different than normal.  We got hit with a ton of snow over the weekend and my favorite outdoor picture taking spot is covered in snow.  I had to get a bit creative as we have awful lighting in house, but I managed to make this work.

 

Lots of people all over all still getting hit with lots of winter weather...stay warm and think sunny thoughts!

 

Happy Stamping!

 



Simply Stars for the 4th

Happy 4th of July!  Any big plans for today? We have a full day of family fun planned and I can't wait!  Our neighborhood has an annual 4th of July parade where all of the kids are invited to participate.  The kids all decorate their bikes, scooters, helmets and themselves and make their way around the 3 block loop...it's something we all look forward to every year!  We'll venture to Pioneer Park later today for the big 4th of July vendor event, which is always a lot of fun.  The rest of the day will probably be spent in the pool and will wrap up with a big family BBQ and fireworks show!

To celebrate today, I made a patriotic card using the latest sketch from Fab Friday.  I pulled out my brushed silver paper for this one...I forgot how pretty it is! 

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Brushed Silver, Night of Navy, Real Red, Whisper White, Brights DSP Stack

Ink ~ Night of Navy, Real Red, VersaMark

Stamp Sets ~ Simply Stars, 123-ABC Outline and Sketch Alphabet & Numbers

Other Supplies ~ Essentials Hardware Clips, Artisan Label Punch, Silver Embossing Powder

 

 

Wishing you all a very Happy 4th of July!  Celebrate and be safe!

 

Happy Stamping!

 

 



Awesome...

That pretty much sums up our weekend!  It was the first weekend in a long time that we didn't have a million things going on and we had nothing but FUN all weekend long!  Sure makes Monday's a whole lot more bearable when you aren't totally exhausted from a busy weekend.

What else makes Monday's nice?  Mojo Monday!  Julee has a fun design for us this week to celebrate the 300th Challenge.  How AWESOME is that?!?!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Night of Navy, Very Vanilla, Pool Party Core-dinations, Etcetera DSP

Ink ~ Old Olive, Pool Party, Night of Navy

Stamp Sets ~ Clockworks, Simply Stars, Yippee-Skippee

Other Supplies ~ Chevron Embossing Folder, Circle Collection Framelits

 

I love the grungy, distressed look of the Etcetera DSP...seems to be my favorite stamping styles as of late.  Grungy-fun! 

 

Hope you all had an AWESOME weekend and have an AMAZING week too!

 

Happy Stamping!
