IC227 - Seattle

I had so much fun making this card.  The Inspiration Challenge at SCS is your "home" state.  Well, I live in Arizona,  I love living in Arizona, but I do not consider this home.  Home is Seattle - yep, you got it:  duck feet and rain.  It was so fun using Laurie Wilson's, from Clearly Delightful, new digi  Harold (the duck) [- I got him for just entering her challenge - nope I didn't win, I just entered!] along with an umbrella from CDS Blooming with Blessings.  AND, yes I also colored Harold with copics.. I am beginning to semi get the hang of it~ LOL.  I am so happy with Harold - he worked just perfect for my inspiration of home.

No, I didn't get to organizing my stamp room - I had to color Harold!!  Thanks for stopping by~~

Stampin B's #53

This is MY week for the challenge.  We have kind of changed direction to make it easier for you all to JOIN IN and play!  This week I have a simple color challenge - Turquoise, Green & White. (No surprise there huh - LOL)  I just love these colors and with Spring in the air I thought they would work well.  My sketch is what I created from Stampin Vacation's Build a Sketch.  I really enjoy this challenge - Denise added 2 more pieces [we are up to 12 at this point] - she chooses what pieces we use and it is up to us to build the card.  Having the pieces in front of you makes it easy to move them around and see how you want to build your card.  I have been featured the last 2 months!  How fun is that!


Anyway, I used my new stamps from Clear Dollar Stamps Blooming with Blessing to make this card.  Aren't these umbrellas awesome! - I love the way they stamp, and they are acrylic stamps so lining them up is so much easier!  [I really struggle with a stamp positioner]   I used nesties Label 9 as my main layer, I used my cb folders dots and stripes to represent rain.  Okay peeps - done with this one - I sure hope you join in the fun with the Stampin B's~~ I would love to see my cyber friends!

Thanks again for stopping by - I so appreciate it~~

SC275 & CC265 - Blooming

This is for SCS  sketch and color challenges - late for one early for another~~ but hey, I got them both done!  Color challenge was close to coco, teal, and celery.  Not sure I will use these again, but it was worth a try.. I used the new release Clear Dollar Stamp set Blooming with Blessing - this is definitely a different aspect of this set~ I started out with something else in mind and low and behold I ended up with this card.  What do you think?  I'm on the fence I think because there is no white to sponge ~~LOL.  Thanks for stopping by~~
