I didn't have the opportunity to be on a part of the TGIF design team with Bibi, but she provided so much inspiration while she was a part of the team!  She has amazing talent that inspires everyone!
This sentiment seemed to be very fitting as we wish Bibi well in her next creative adventure!  This card was inspired by one of her creations...
Supplies Used:
Paper ~ Sahara Sand, Whisper White
Ink ~ Real Red, Smoky Slate, Basic Black, Marina Mist, Sahara Sand, Old Olive, Night of Navy
Stamp Sets ~ High Tide, Gorgeous Grunge
Other Supplies ~ Night of Navy Bakers Twine
 
The added banner using the stamp from Gorgeous Grunge was the brilliant idea I cased from one of Bibi's creations found HERE.
 
Be sure to check out how our design team spotlighted Bibi!  Then it's your turn to show us how you were inspired!
 
Happy Stamping!

Fields of Inspiration ~ #SSINKIC42

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!

Beautiful Day ~ Monday Montage 88






Welcome back to Monday Montage!!!  We are back with another fabulous hop!  Make sure you click on the links below so you don't miss any of the creations...you are sure to love them all!

Well, the good news is that we have had a few days of beautiful weather!  Sunshine, blues skies and warmer temperatures has made for some very happy days!  The bad news is that I have managed to catch a nasty head cold and ear ache which has left me feeling pretty rundown.  I even took a nap and slept 9 hours last night, which is VERY rare for me.  I am very grateful for the sunshine as it is definitely a help in me feeling better.

Given that I've been a little under the weather, my creativity is suffering a little bit too. When I have a slump in my creativity, I turn to the Stampin' Up! catalogs for some inspiration.  My card today is CASE'ed from the 2017 Occasions Catalog, using the Special Reason stamp set and coordinating Stylish Stems Framelits.


Paper ~ Whisper White, Peekaboo Peach, Calypso Coral, Old Olive
Ink ~Calypso Coral, Peekaboo Peach, Old Olive
Stamp Set ~ Special Reason
Other Supplies ~ Banner Triple Punch, Stylish Stems Framelits, Hexagons Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder

Here's to warmer weather coming your way and wishing you a beautiful day!

Next stop on the hop is Cathy...I can't wait to see what she has for us this week! Or if you want to hop backwards, you can hop on back to the amazing Amy...I just love her style!

  Thanks for hopping along with us today!

Happy Stamping!
