So Many Possibilities

I went back and forth a lot about the Words of Truth (139397) set before I ordered it, but man I have found so many ways to use it once it arrived. Originally, I thought it would be good for encouraging notes for my kids in their lunches, but I have used it for a job well done to a love you card. I'm really glad I got. I'm finding all kinds of ways to include it in a card.

This HYCCT challenge was to use three hearts. Have a great day!

Inspiration

These last few days I have been so excited to get in my stamp room and start creating. It's amazing what a little inspiration can do for you!

This HYCCT challenge was to create an inspirational card, and I used this week's Mojo Monday sketch to start it off. Here's what I came up with. Enjoy!

Split the Difference

Two days in a row…Hooray!!

This HYCLT challenge was to include a sentiment strip that extends the full length or width of your card - somewhere in the middle. The new Lighthearted Leaves set (139712) from the Stampin' Up! holiday catalog is too cute and has so many possibilities!

Have a great day!

Hope You Can Cling To

I have been gone far too long, and I'm going to try to, at least, post the cards I am making right now.

I've just had a burst of creativity with Splitcoaststampers month long card drive, "Hope You Can Cling To." It benefits those affected by breast cancer and partners with the UT MD Anderson Cancer Center. I encourage you to join the drive and help lift the spirits of everyone involved.

Something New

I thought I would check out a few new challenges this week. I'm trying spread out when I can work on a challenge and when I can post a blog. Not always an easy task with the schedule we keep around here, but I have loved getting back into my craft room and sharing the cards I've been making so I need to do a bit of rearranged to fit everything in!

I created a card with the Fusion challenge and was happily surprised that they had a joint challenge going on with Case This Sketch. I also threw in the Just Add Ink challenge this week for my color inspiration.

 

I'm hoping to add a few more posts this week.  We'll see how it goes. Have a great week!!

Happy Monday

Happy Monday, stampers! I played along with the Case this Sketch! challenge this week. I used the new Stampin' Up! Moonlight DSP stack and a few of the 2014-2016 In Colors, Hello Honey and Blackberry Bliss. 

I really like all of the patterns of this little stack, and personally I like that it's already cut small for me. I'm a DSP hoarder. Making that first cut in a 12" x 12" sheet is awful for me. Silly, I know, but (gasp) what if I use it all up and have none. At the rate I use it, that won't happen for a very long time. Maybe I should make a challenge to myself to use more of it!

Have a great day and happy stamping!

Trial and Error

Hello! When you first see a sketch, do you instantly have an idea? Some times that happens., and other times I feel like I pull out a ton of stamp sets and just can't get them to work together. For this week's Freshly Made Sketch, I had an instant idea, and then realized I hadn't gotten the stamp set yet. FAIL! So I had to figure out an alternative solution. Maybe when the set comes in, I'll play with this sketch again!

Enjoy this beautiful day!
