Feels Like Home ~ Monday Montage

Hi friends and welcome to another amazing Monday Montage Blog Hop!  This past week has been flooded with Convention memories with so many of these talented stampers in this group.  I love each and every one of them!!

I am slowly, but surely working my way through my Mini and Sale-A-Bration catalogs pre-order. I may have ordered more than I actually thought...shocking, right?!?  I ordered enough to earn myself a few Sale-A-Bration items, including the beautiful Feels Like Home stamp set.  I love the door image with the bike! 

This image is absolutely beautiful when it is watercolored, but I was in a Stampin' Blend kind of mood when I created this card.  I may not have the same look as watercolor, but it is still just as pretty!  I had a mess of Stampin' Blends on my desk after adding color.

After coloring the image, I tore the edges of the paper and added it to a piece of Smoky Slate embossed with the Brick and Mortar 3D embossing folder.  I love what the torn paper added to the card.  A simple Happy Birthday sentiment fussy cut from the Best Year stamp set was all that was needed complete the card.

I told my husband this stamp set is going to be a big help in deciding what color to paint our front door!  I can stamp as many as I want and color the doors in ALL the colors!

Thanks for hopping along with us today!  Be sure to keep on hopping until you make your way through the loop!

Happy Stamping!

Sale-A-Bration stamp set: Feels Like Home

Beauty of Thankfulness

Hi friends!  Happy Thursday...right???  I had to stop and think about what day it really was.  During the summer, while I am off, I tend to lose track of what day it is.  And I'm okay with that!  I do know that no matter what day of the week it is, I can always find a new Freshly Made Sketches sketch to play along with!

I love the simplicity of this weeks sketch!  The Beauty of the Earth DSP has been sitting on my desk, just waiting to be used, and this weeks sketch was the perfect time to put it to use!

I love the colors in this pattern!  They remind me of fall...my second favorite season, after summer of course.  A simple strip of this DSP was all I needed!  Some Misty Moonlight, Night of Navy and Basic White stood in the background while the warm colors in the DSP stole the show.

I love this Night of Navy sentiment from the Best Year stamp set, which fit so nicely inside this Tasteful Labels die.  The sentiment alone was little sad, so I added some Misty Moonlight stamped-off leaves from tasteful touches.  These leaves pair up perfectly with the DSP!  A touch of texture was added with the Bark 3D embossing folder and I dressed things up just a bit with some Crumb Cake Bakers Twine and Genial Gems.  For a simple card, I felt like I had ALL the things out on my desk!  

Thanks for stopping by today!  I hope you have a fantastic day!

Happy Stamping!
