Hello Stampin’ Friends!
Today’s post is all about a good ol’ color challenge!
My granddaughter, who’s 10, loves to come over and challenge me to a “3-color challenge”. Of course, she’s a girl after my own heart and LOVES Grammy’s craft room and all the colors to choose from.
Hello Stampin’ Friends!
I have a quick, fall-themed card today that was inspired by a card sketch by The Paper Players.
I look forward to the fall season each year, in fact, one might say it’s my favorite season of the year. Well, until spring rolls around. As soon as the temperatures begin to warm, the birds begin to sing, the flowers start to pop up from the ground, I’ll be saying spring is my favorite season! I guess I should just call it a draw between spring and fall!
At any rate, I saw this week’s sketch on The Paper Players (Challenge PP663) and thought I’d give it a go. I highly recommend going over to their website to see not only my take on their sketch, but many other talented cardmakers as well!
Card sketches are oftentimes my saving grace. A great place to start and let my imagination and creativity do the rest! And, a contest… well, if you have a competitive nature at all, make up a card and join in the fun!
Hello Stampin’ Friends!
I’M BACK!!!! It’s been a long time since I sat in front of my computer and typed out a new blog post, but I’ve missed y’all so LET’S DO THIS!
If you read my previous post from almost three years ago, it explains my long absence. My neurologist headache specialist recommended that I avoid “screens”, so I’ve been doing my best. However, I really enjoyed this creative outlet and so I’m going to try it again, just keeping my posts shorter and less chatty. My hope is that I can manage this without an increase in my chronic migraines.
Stampin’ Up continues to push out new and inspiring products with the new Holiday Mini Catalog. The big brown truck delivered to my door a few days ago and so I’ve been doing a little playing around with my new goodies!
First up is the new bundle Around the Bend. The fun curves in this bundle make layering so much fun. The dies are fabulous, mixing curves with little sprigs of leaves and a few different flowers. This set is a must for the avid card maker! Soooo many possibilities!
