thank you

It's Friday! Woohoo! Gotta love the end of what, for me, has been a busy week, huh?

I finally decided to buy the new PaperTrey Ink set called Damask Design. I have loved all of the wonderful cards I've seen with it so...here is my first try. I'll be honest...I'm sure I saw this somewhere but I don't recall where.

The cardstock is all PTI as well and the sentiment is from the same Damask set just stamped separately instead of in a line. And, yes...the ribbon is from PTI as well. I really love the rich, classy feel of this card. Wouldn't it be great to use it for wedding or anniversary thank you's?

Anyway, I hope you have having a great week!

Card deets:
Stamps: Damask Design
Cardstock: PTI Pure Poppy, True Black, White
Ink: Pure Poppy
Accessories: Satin Ribbon in True Black (PTI), Tiny Twinkles from Taylored Expressions

Morning everyone! Can you believe it is time for a new limeLIGHT sketch and product challenge? This week the challenge is to use Rub-Ons and this fun sketch. We all know that Mandy is so generous to the winners of her sketch/product challenges and this time is no exception. Enter your card into the challenge for a chance to win one package of Basic Grey Silver Summer Rub-Ons.

I used some cute Pebbles Paper in a fun stripe using the opposite side for my base (almost) color. I used a cupcake from the Unity Stamps Cupcakes A La Yummy set (that you can find HERE). I also used some Shimmerz in Angel Wings on the icing of the cupcake. Finally my rub on is from Pink Paislee and are called Sweet Cakes Rub-Ons. They are so cute and SO easy to use and who doesn't like a row of cupcakes?! **A big thank you to Mandy and Sarah for helping me "finish" my cupcake card!**

This sketch is also an easy one to use; be sure you try it and play along with us! Up for grabs this week is a package of Basic Grey Silver Summer Rub-ons! And there's a BONUS.... Oh, yes, you can have TWO entries into the random drawing this week? How, you ask?

round up

Morning everyone! Happy Tax Day! I hope you are already all done with your taxes and can just take it easy today!

Today is Sweet N Sassy Stamps Round Up day! This month I used the super fun boy themed set called Cool Dude for my card. Being that Kyler turned 11 on April 9th I figured I could incorporate two of this favorite things on my card by using this set...video games and football! I also used the super fun Basic Grey paper called Cupcake. it is the perfect paper for any celebration card! I just added some black dots, color coordinated brads, and some ribbon and it was all done. Kyler really liked it!

Make sure you run on over to the Sweet N Sassy Stamps blog to see what the rest of the design team members made!

thinkin' about ya...

Morning everyone! Did you have a good start to your week? Yesterday was a day off for Kyler so really...we just hung out together and he got some school work done. I am so blessed to be able to be home with him on days off like that!

Remember the image I told you that I spilled diet coke on? Yeah, it would have looked like this one. I actually like my coloring on this flower better so, yay!

The SNSS senior design team challenge for this week is a "thinking of you" card. When I saw the challenge I just knew I had to use the Bee Happy set. I love the bees, flower, and fun sentiments that are included in this set! I am having a hard time getting good pictures again so just imagine much prettier colors in real life, k?

I hope you get a chance to participate in this challenge. I know you are like I am and send this type of card so...go stamp!

I hope you have a super day today!

for all you do

Good Monday morning! I hope you had a wonderful Easter with your family! Here...church was wonderful and we had dinner at our house with some new friends and that was fun too!

I thought I'd show you a card with all Stampin' Up! that I made for the Late Night Stampers color challenge this week. When I read about Late Night Stampers on Mary Jo Price Williams blog I thought I'd join and see what it is all about as the name...it is so me. You see, I much prefer to stamp at night. Come to find out...LNS's are all about SU! That is wonderful as my SU! stamps are under used so it will give me a great reason to get them out! Anyway, the color challenge was Baja Blue, Sahara Sand, Chocolate Chip, and Very Vanilla. I didn't think I was going to be able to do it but this is what I came up with and I like it! I'll put the details below.

I was actually planning on making a card for the SNSS Senior DT challenge today but I spilled my diet coke (my first in 40 days!) on it and was just too mad to continue! Silly me! How could I possibly waste diet coke?! Hopefully, I can make the SNSS card today and show it to you tomorrow.

I've got to run. Lots to do on Mondays! Have a super day everyone!
