Simple Stippled Birthday ~ HSSCC185

It's Tuesday, which means it's time for a new Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge and this week we have a color challenge for you! 

I kind of cheated (just a little) and used a couple other colors here...can you forgive me?!?!  I have to say, I love a little grunge with pretty flowers and I am super-duper sad that Off the Grid is going away :-(  Be warned...you may see it a lot in the next few weeks!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Baked Brown Sugar, Coastal Cabana, Whisper White

Ink ~ Baked Brown Sugar, Tangerine Tango, Coastal Cabana, Crisp Cantaloupe, Pistachio Pudding

Stamp Sets ~ Stippled Blossoms, Off the Grid, Memorable Moments

 

I'm anxiously awaiting a delivery from my favorite man in brown this afternoon...NEW stamps will soon be in the house!!!   I see a late night of stamping ahead of me :-)

 

Now head on over to check out the rest of the amazing creations from the rest of the design team!

 

Happy Stamping!

Fab 50th Anniversary

Hi friends!  I got to spend a better part of my day in my craft room yesterday...YIPPEE!!!   I am almost all caught up on my crafting To-Do list and am crossing my fingers that I can cross every last item by the end of week.

A friend asked me to make an anniversary card for some of her friends who will be celebrating 50 years...WOW! I knew right away I wanted to do something in with gold to represent their 50 years of marriage. 

With some sketch help from the FAB group over at Fab Friday, a little gold foil paper and some gold "grunge" I have a Golden Anniversary creation...

(Sorry for the poor picture...lighting was not great this morning!)

 

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Basic Black, Very Vanilla, Modern Medley, Gold Foil Sheets

Ink ~ Jet Black StazOn, VersaMark

Stamp Sets ~ Memorable Moments, Gorgeous Grunge

Other Supplies ~ Artisan Label Punch, Gold Embossing Powder

 

Thanks for stopping by today!

 

Happy Stamping!

 



2013 Artisan Finalist Blog Hop ~ Day 9

Hello to all my stamping friends and welcome back to Day Nine of the Artisan Finalist Blog Hop!  Can you believe we only have one day left.  I have loved sharing all of my projects with you and seeing all of the others in such great detail.  The talent in this group is AH-mazing!

 If you've just come from Amy's blog, you were treated to her amazing talent.  If you are just getting started, keep on hopping until you get back to me. If you happen to get lost along the way, just use the "back" or "next" button at the bottom of each blog and you'll get right back on track.

Today I have my last scrapbook page to share with you.  This was my hybrid page (MDS and traditional elements) and while it is very simple, it is the page that has the most meaning to me.  This page focuses on my love for running, something I actually used to hate!  This picture is from my 3rd half marathon, which I did in my home town.  This race meant the most to me because my family was there waiting for me at the finish line!  I used the same picture as the background paper...one of my favorite things to do in MDS! 

 

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Whisper White, Basic Black, Tempting Turquoise

Stamp Sets ~ Feel Goods, Memorable Moments

Ink ~ Tempting Turquoise, Basic Black

Other Supplies ~ Oval Framelits, Chevron Embossing Folder

 

One more day tomorrow!  Don't forget to come back!

 

Now it's time to hop on over to Cathy's blog to see her first FAB-ulous creation!
