Heart Happy

Hello Stampers!

Did you have a nice weekend?  Mine was pretty great!  I got almost all of my planting finished, had some crafting time, and got a lot of "stuff" taken care of!  A good weekend!  Of course it wasn't a picture-perfect weather weekend, so there was a lot of inside time!

Today I have a card for you that uses DSP, in-colors, and a stamp set that are all retiring.  It's good to pull things out a last time or two before they lose their space on the shelf!  Got to make room for the incoming new products!

This card will also be submitted for this week's TGIF sketch challenge.  Here is the sketch:


I am also participating in this weeks PPA Color Challenge:

Best Kid Ever!

Hello stampers!

Happy Mother's Day on Sunday!  I hope you all have a wonderful day!

It's the end of the week!  Woohoo!  Today at work, we have a "stressful" day.  We leave the office at 11:00 and go to a local bowling alley for a pizza lunch and an afternoon of bowling with co-workers.  This is a corporate event sponsored by my employer, so there will be around 400 of us there.  It's always a good time, so I'm looking forward to it!

I have an adorable card for you from my very talented sister.  She sent it to me on Thursday and I had to use it right away!  Check out this cutie:

Challenges!

Hello stampers!

With Blendabilities being discontinued, I've been experimenting with other methods of "coloring".  And just recently, I tried Aqua Painters (#103954).  They're my current "favorite technique"!  This is my first project.  And all I did here is to paint the background on some watercolor paper.  I love that the color isn't perfectly even - it adds interest to the piece.  I have more projects to share using Aqua Painters in the near future.  If you haven't tried them yet, I hope you soon will!

Supply List:

Just Kidding Photopolymer Stamp Set
$15.95

Aqua Painters
$16.95

Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad
$5.95

Strawberry Slush Classic Stampin' Pad
$5.95

Typeset Specialty Designer Series Paper

Whisper White 8-1/2" X 11" Card Stock
$8.50

Watercolor Paper
