TGI{Almost}F Birthday Wishes

Hello stampers!

 

It's almost Friday and I am ready for the weekend!  This week seems to be dragging on much longer than it needs to.  I had a little extra time this morning, so I snuck some stamping in after being inspired by the awesome team over at TGIF Challenges.  I was too late to link up to their challenge, but it was still fun to play along!

 

I had a few birthday cards that needed to be made and sent out soon and this sketch was perfect for a fun birthday card!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Sahara Sand, Old Olive, Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry, Brights DSP

Ink ~ Sahar Sand, Pumpkin Pie

Stamp Sets ~ Playful Backgrounds, Sunburst Sayings

Other Supplies ~ Stars Framelits, Layering Circles Framelits, Brights Enamel Shapes

 

Enjoy your Thursday...Friday is almost here!

 

Happy Stamping!



60 & Amazing

Look at me!  I actually stamped this week and it's not for a scheduled blog post!  My older boys started school this week and getting back into the school routine has been good for my stamping time in the morning...a win every way you look at it!

 A co-worker aske me to make birthday card for her sister's upcoming 60th birthday.  It took me a while to get my creative juices flowing again, but I finally came up with this...

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Whisper White, Gold Glimmer, Vellum

Ink ~ Calypso Coral, Blushing Bride, Soft Sky, Gold

Stamp Sets ~ Playful Backgrounds, Timeless Textures, Thoughtful Banners

Other Supplies ~ Large Numbers, Bunch of Banners, Calypso Coral Thick Bakers Twin, Gold Metallic Thread, Medium Star Punch, Confetti Stars Boarder Punch

As much I love having my boys home for summer break, I am always happy to get back into our school routine, especially when it means more stamping time for me!

Hopefully you see another post or two from me this week!

Happy Stamping!

You're My Anchor

Hello stampers and happy Sunday!

The end is in sight...we are in the final phases of selling our house and purchasing our new home.  I has been a long, trying and stressful 3 months for my family...mostly for my hubby.  He has taken care of all of the phone calls, the paper work and everything else involved in this who crazy process.   I would have given up weeks ago and thrown in the towel, but he has pushed through it and got us to where we are today...which is painting at the new house and packing :-)

I made a card for him yesterday to show him and tell him just how much I love him...and to avoid packing up my craft room!  I turned to Freshly Made Sketches again for some inspiration and came up with this...

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Night of Navy, Whisper White, Crushed Curry, Regals DSP

Ink ~ Crushed Curry, Real Red, VersaMark

Stamp Sets ~ Guy Greetings, Seaside Shore, Playful Backgrounds

Other Supplies ~ Sunburst Thinlits, 2" Circle Punch, Brights Enamel Shapes, Night of Navy Bakers Twine

Can I just say how happy I am to have Night of Navy Bakers Twine in my stash....LOVE!!!

Now I'm off to get in a quick workout before spending the rest of the day painting and packing.  I'd much rather be stamping!

Have a great day!

Happy Stamping!
