Happy Mother's Day ~ Monday Montage



Hello and Happy Mother's Day!  Welcome back to another fabulous Monday Montage Blog Hop!  Thanks for joining us once again...we love sharing our creations with you :-) 

I finally had a chance to sit down with some of my new goodies after neglecting them all week long.  As you can see, I did get some of the new - and awesome - Blendabilities....LOVE them!  I need LOTS of practice with them, but I'm not off to a horrible start with them.  I know we've seen a ton of creations with this begging-to-be-colored Blended Bloom stamp too, but I just couldn't help myself!  And the best part?!?  My momma loved it :-)

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Whisper White

Ink ~ Tuxedo Black Memento*, Coastal Cabana and Daffodil Delight Assortment Stampin' Blendabilities*

Stamp Set ~ Blended Bloom, April Paper Pumpkin

Other Supplies ~ Project Life Corner Punch

*Sneak Peek from 2014-2015 Catalog

And because it's Mother's Day, I have to share a few fun pictures of my Mother's Day festivities from this morning.  My boys and I did a Color Run together and had SO MUCH FUN!  I had hopes of getting these on to an MDS page, but we all had too much fun outside today to come inside!

Wishing all of the amazing mom's out there a very Happy Mother's Day!
 

Now it's time to hop on over to Cathy's blog for another awesome creation...you're sure to love it!  Or if you prefer to hop backwards, you can head on back to Amy's project...she inspires me each and every week!  Either way, just make sure you make the whole loop and don't miss any of us.  And don't forget to leave us some love on our blogs...we love hearing from you!

 

  Thanks for hopping along with us today!

 

Happy Stamping!

 





Burlap and Sun ~ Stylin' Stampin' Squad Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to May's edition of the Stylin' Stampin' Squad Blog Hop!  This month we're all getting punchy!  We're here to show off our punches with some fun and fabulous punch art creations.

 

As you hop along, please be sure to comment and show some love on every blog! We are always excited to hear from our followers! You should have just left stop number seven on the Stylin' Stampin' Squad Blog Hop -  If so, you are in the right spot. If a link doesn't work or you get off track, you will find the full blog hop lineup below.

 

I've been wanting to make a new summer-time wreath for my front door and what says summer better than sunflowers?!?  I was really bummed about the Blossom Builder punch being retired, but then I remembered that it was still available in MDS and I could use my e-cutter to cut them out....WOOHOO!!! Wanna know what's even better?  You can make the size of the punch bigger or smaller in MDS to fit your needs.   With a few clicks of my mouse, I had a full sheet of petals and quickly cut them out to create these bright and cheerful sunflowers.

I put the flowers on an easy, and fun to make, burlap wreath (thanks to my BFF, Erica, for bringing me the supplies from the big city craft store...you saved my bacon friend!)  I still feel like this may need a little something else, but haven't quiet figured out what yet.  Feel free to share any suggestions when you leave me some love :-)

 

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Daffodil Delight, Early Espresso

Other Supplies ~ MDS Blossom Builder Punch, Silhouette e-cutter, ALL Circle Punches, Basics Glimmer Brads
