Amazing Paper Grace

 
It has been a busy week but finally last night after taking care of all the Blog Candy business, I was able to steal away to do some stamping. Thanks for dropping by to leave a comment…my family was helping me cut up the entries and were amazed at all the kind remarks.  Hehe, now […]

Woohoo, I love challenges but have not been able to participate in many.  Today I was able to work on Mojo Monday #42 - the sketch is absolutely awesome and I did not want to miss it.  Mojo Monday is hosted at Poetic Artistry and you can see more details about this weekly sketch challenge […]

I was in the mood to do a challenge, so the layout for this card is the Mojo Monday sketch at Poetic Artistry.

Now that I’m sooooo organized with my new Sketch Book journal, I’ve recorded a couple of challenges I want to do….this is the first.  This one went together very easily and is very […]

My goodness, I’ve been sick.
For the life of me I don’t know what it was, but I couldn’t get up off of the couch for about 48 hours.   My husband thought he could cheer me up by taking me to Hobby Lobby and even going inside with me.  I found a good place […]

Here is my first little Target mailbox!  I made it last month but wanted to hold onto it to post when I got this blog ready.  I stocked up on these babies because I can see a use for them with almost any occasion. 
On this particular one I left the flag blank so that I […]

Splitcoaststampers issued a wonderful technique lovers challenge, TLC-153, where we were encouraged to learn the folding of a series of eight circles called a Dahlia fold.  When all eight circles are folded and assembled, the combined unit makes a large Dahlia.  Instructions for the fold can be found here.   The results that I’ve seen from this fold are […]

Are you blushing yet?  Stinkin’ cute!  These cards are a wonderful “pick-me-up” for your bestest girl friends.  This card was sooooo totally CASED from Frances at StampOwl, you can see it on her blog and her template is here.   She debuted it during the last VSN Challenge on SplitcoastStampers titled Put on Your Big Girl Panties.  I […]

Woohoo, two more never seen ink stamps!  How cool is that sentiment?  I jumped at the chance to complete another SplitcoastStamper Challenge SC-160 with this classic, balanced layout.  Perfect for smaller stamps, I pulled out this set of vintage gardening gloves by Alesa Baker, distributed by Impression-Obsession and stamped them in Brilliance Black, coloring them […]

Is there anything cozier than blue jean overalls?  I don’t think they ever go out of style.  This is one of my very favorite stamps by Alesa Baker and distributed by Impression-Obsession.  It has never fully seen ink although every time I look at it reminds me of an adorable pair of overalls I used to […]

Can you believe that Valentines Day is so close?  I pulled together something for my sweetie and the sentiment is one that I absolutely love but it has not seen ink in it’s lifetime with me.  Well, I remedied that!  Here’s the card I made for my husband for Valentines Day (don’t look honey).   It […]

I’ve had this Stampendous stamp on my desk for a while, trying to think of how I would color it.   Out with the Copics, they’re sooooo fun.  This time around I colored the poppies and scribbled a darker shade on an acetate sheet.  I then lifted the darker shade off of the acetate sheet with the […]
