SAH176


I haven't posted any MDS pages for a while.  This one is for the Stampaholics sketch.  The challenge includes a time limit of 30 minutes.  Mine was completed in about 24 minutes.  Very simple and easy, but I like it like that.

Thanks for looking!

CCMC157 and Stamping 411 160


This little CAS card takes care of 2 challenges--Create with Connie and Mary sketch challenge and Stamping 411 color challenge.  I used 2 cool summer stamp sets, Sunny Fun and Summer Splash to create this card.  I add some sparkle with Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint mixed with alcohol and spritzed onto the card base and pacific point scalloped layer.  Very shimmery IRL!

Thanks for looking!

Color Round Up 37 and Try Stamping on Tuesday


I took care of 2 challenges with this little card using the retiring (sniff, sniff) A Flower For All Seasons.  I really love this little set.

I used the colors from this week's Color Round Up and a sketch from Try Stamping on Tuesday.   This image worked perfectly for both challenges.  As I was getting ready to write up my post, it occurred to me that I could have used the new chocolate chip dotted scallop ribbon instead of the cardstock strips.  Too bad I didn't think of it earlier.  Oh well--I rather like how this one turned out.  Hope you enjoy seeing it too.

Thanks for looking!

Color Round Up #37        

I Won the Color Round Up!

Just found out that I won the Color Round Up badge for this card.  That's exciting.  Hopefully I can find time today to do a project for the new Color Round Up challenge found here.

Thanks for stopping by!

SSC209


I've been a busy girl!  This is my third post today.  You can see the others here and here.

I love the sketch at Stamping 411 today.  A nice blocked-background and a circle for one of my favorite stamps from the summer mini, The Open Sea.  

I used some Nautical Expedition dsp and the ship's log stamped image for my background.  The ship and ship's log were stamped with soft suede and the sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes was stamped with not quite navy.

Thanks for looking!

SFF062411 and CCMC156


This is my second post today!  My other post is HERE.

This card uses a sketch from Sketch Frenzy Friday and a color challenge from Create with Connie and Mary.  I had a really hard time getting a good photo of this one.  Even using a lightbox and taking a dozen shots! 

Printed Petals was the stamp set I used and the dsp is Paisley Petals. 

Thanks for looking!
