Just Add Ink Challenge # 202 Just Add Stripes

I know! Two posts in one day is a little crazy but I got on a bit of a creative roll and just kept going! I decided to join in the challenge for this week at Just Add Ink. It's been a while since I have joined in there but I couldn't resist this weeks challenge, which is Just Add Stripes.

 I just love the Sale-a-bration Banner Blast stamp set! It's too cute and I love that it has a co-ordinating punch! Even better!

You can punch out the little flowers from this stamp set using the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack! Saves using the scissors!

 





Have Fun and Happy Stampin'

Mojo Monday Challenge #332

Oops! I certainly haven't been on here for a looooooooooooooooooong time! And I'm so sorry! Sometimes my life takes over and I don't get a chance to always blog my creations!

Well I'm going to say I'm back and I'll be making more of an effort to regularly post my creations on here!

I find the best way to get out of that creative slump that we get stuck in sometimes, is to participate in a challenge and I love the challenges over at Mojo Monday! I love their sketches and regularly use their past sketches to sometimes get that creative ball rolling!

This is the sketch for this week

 

 

And this is my interpretation of the sketch...

 

 

This sketch challenge is combined with a colour challenge from my Stampin' Up! upline to use the colours Basic Black, Bermuda Bay and Melon Mambo. Loving the colour combo!

 

 

And loving the gold sequin trim! Think that will be my new 'thing'!

 

Have Fun and Happy Stampin'

Mojo Monday #317

Well it certainly has been a while since I've posted on here. Life took over a  bit and I've had a bit of a creative slump. When that slump happens I like to do some challenges and that usually gets the creative juices going.
I love the sketches at the Mojo Monday blog and this weeks one is fantastic!

 

A round or a square card! Both of them I don't use very much! I chose a square one and I've used a stamp set that caught my eye as soon as I saw it! Stampin' Up!'s Santa's List.

 

 

Isn't he just adorable! I love the vintage feel of the image and you could enhance him a little more by adding a bit of colour either with a blender pen or an aqua painter!.

 

 

Let's hope this has got my creative thoughts going! On to the next project!

 

Have Fun and Happy Stampin'

Mojo Monday #311 - Papillion Sympathy

I never really enjoy making Sympathy cards. I don't think you will find someone out there who does. It's does make it easier to have some on hand when you do need one though.

This card I used the sketch over at Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge #311. I'm using the Papillion Potpourri stamp set and the co-ordinating Bitty Butterfly and Elegant Butterfly Punches.

 

 

 

I wanted to use a bit of colour but not to make it to bright. I turned to my Colour Coach and the colours suggested were Wisteria Wonder, Soft Sky and Sahara Sand.

 

Have Fun and Happy Stampin'

Customer Thanks

Just something quick for today. I've had a few customer order's recently and I wanted to put in a small handmade item in their order just to say thanks.

And how cute are these ...

 

I CASE'd these from my upline's upline. I've used one of the new In-Colours, Crisp Cantaloupe. Such a pretty colour! There will be a chocolate treat in there but I haven't bought  that yet ;)

 

Let's hope my customers like them!

Have fun and Happy Stampin'
