WMS Sketch Challenge 70

Whew! Just made this week's Waltzingmouse Stamps Sketch Challenge. You know how when you start out with an idea in mind and it totally morphs into something entirely different. Well, that is the case with today's card.

And I must confess about the sentiment. If you are at all squeamish, I suggest you stop reading. I warned you ...... here it is. I cut 2 stamps apart to make this sentiment, removing an "s" from each word. I find I can smoosh Claire's stamps back together if I want the original word.



Hope you enjoy. Thanks for stopping by.

Gallery of Witches

I wanted to participate in the WMS Sketch Challenge 69 and pulled out all my Halloween stamps. Life got in the way and I never got around to making my entry. This weekend I decided to complete a card before putting the stamps away. When I looked at all of Claire's great witches, the idea of a portrait gallery came to me.

Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger

I was browsing through the Moxie Fab blog as I always do. This time I decided to play along with the Tuesday Trigger seen above.

I took a very literal approach to the trigger and used it as an excuse to ink up a Waltzingmouse stamp set. Here's my take.

WMS Sketch Challenge 68

Oh, it's been such a long time since I've posted a card. Blame it on a long crafting funk. Yes, I've been stamping all along but not really enjoying it. My crafty friend Katie has been after me to participate in some challenges to get that mojo going again. And, you know what, I think it worked. I had so much fun with this card that I'm going to see what I can put together for the blog waltz on the 17th.

PTI February Blog Hop

It's the 25th of the month and time for the PTI blog hop. The theme this month is scallops of any sort, on a project! This can include scalloped borders, offset-scallops, stamped scallops, scalloped mats, scalloped frames, layered scallops, scalloped tags or anything else you can dream up!

My February release stamps showed up on Friday, just in time for weekend crafting. I have lots of flower stamps but couldn't wait to get my hands on the one in Flower Fusion #1. It matched my brand new My Mind's Eye paper perfectly!



Fun colors, fun stamps, fun time in my craft room.

Make It Monday #2 - Channeling Chanel to Take Betsy's Challenge

Sorry for being away from the blog for so long. For once, it wasn't a creativity issue or even a camera issue. (Blushing and hiding head) ... I forgot how to edit photos. All is well and just in time to play in the PTI Make it Monday Challenge.

This week's challenge is to use vellum for a sentiment. Yikes. Love the look of vellum but not the stamping on it or trying to attach it invisibly.

Then on Friday Betsy Veldman posted so many cute ideas using the Favor-It dies for projects other than favors. An idea began to take form.

Here's my take on a famous designer purse, complete with quilted details (courtesy of Tin Types Impression plate) and a tag so you know it's authentic (using the perfect Fresh Alphabet stamp set)





OK, maybe I need to go back to the drawing board on the camera. The quilting details aren't showing up very well. Anyway, it was a fun card to come up with.

Hope you enjoy. Thanks for stopping by.

Supplies:
Stamps: Fresh Alphabet, Embellishments, Around & About Sentiments
Cardstock: Vintage Cream, True Black, Sweet Blush
Ink: StazOn Jet Black, Sweet Blush
Miscellaneous: Favor It Box 1, Tin Types Impression Plate, Edgers #1 Collection, MS punch, vellum, pearl, dimensionals, SU silver cord.
