DC15 Soul Scrappers Challenge-Collage page

The Soul Scrappers challenge is to make a collage page using several photos with one word to tell the story and the date the photos were taken. I fudged a little on the one word part!. I took these pics of my daffodils this spring.  This page was created in MDS. I used one of the photos for my background paper. This is a very simple page but I rather like it. I use the CAS style most of the time.

Thanks for looking,

My new Fairy Garden in MDS

I chose to do an MDS layout from a sketch found here.  I bought some things for a new fairy garden when I went to Amish Country the other day.  I had made a small one last summer and added a couple things to it, also.  My new garden is a lot bigger than the first one and I have no idea how we are going to get it inside for the winter.  Guess we'll cross that bridge when we come to it!

Have a great day!

Artistic Etchings

My card today uses the Artistic Etchings stamp set and the vintage wallpaper embossing folder.  I stamped the crown in Baja Breeze and the Eiffel Tower and Amour in Cherry Cobbler.  I sponged Crumb Cake on the edges of the panel.  I ran the Cherry Cobbler cardstock through my big kick with the embossing folder. I wrapped Basic Black satin ribbon around that. I stamped the medallion onto the Crumb Cake base with Crumb Cake ink, then adhered them together as seen in the photo.  I think I rather like this color combo. 

My color coach comes in with my order that is due tomorrow.  Then I won't have to think so hard to come up with a color combo.  Haha

Thanks for looking! Have a wonderful day!

CAS74 Because I Care

Today's Clean and Simple challenge at Splitcoaststampers.com was create a card from a picture of a cake from Carrie's Cakes.  This is the photo I chose to use.  I finally put some ink to the hydrangea from Because I Care. I stamped the image on watercolor paper with Stazon Jet Black. I watercolored it with ink refills in Pretty in Pink and Garden Green. I matted this layer with Basic Black. I used the swirls texture plate on a layer of Whisper White and matted it on Basic Black after I wrapped a black grosgrain ribbon and bow around it.  I mounted the image panel onto the swirls panel with dimensionals and mounted all onto a Whisper White card base.  I rather like the way it turned out and hope you do, too! Thanks for looking.

Until next time, happy stamping!

SC287 Welcome Baby

Wow, what a morning.  I started the day off right by burning my breakfast in the microwave.  It was supposed to be cooked for 2 minutes.  Well....most of my things I cook in the microwave take about 5 minutes plus I had written on the package that the food was 5 Weight Watcher points.  So somehow instead of punching 2 minutes, I put 5.  I had walked away to do something else while it cooked and when I came back the kitchen was filled with smoke.  Luckily it was cool enough outside that I could open the windows and turn off the A/C.  But it still smells like smoke in my house.  Probably will for a bit.  But one good thing about it is that my smoke alarm didn't go off so I know I need to replace my batteries!  But that will have to wait til this evening because my brakes went out on my car two nights ago and I have no wheels.  Isn't life fun?!

Decided to do the Splitcoast Stampers sketch challenge. I used some retiring things today.  This is the last day this stamp set and these colors will be available.  Hate to see this brocade blue and especially the green galore go.  I will really miss some of the retiring colors.  I just got this stamp set because I needed a set for baby cards. 

I had a hard time photographing my card because my cat kept getting in between the card and my camera.  She was checking everything out.  Finally got her out of the way and shot the pic.  The card recipe is:

Stamps:  Nursery Necessities

Paper:  brocade blue, green galore, whisper white, brocade blue dsp

Ink:  brocade blue

Extras:  dimensionals, brads

Bye for now!
