Joy Fold Card

I did the tutorial from split coast today. It was a lot of fun and I finally used my afternoon tea designer series paper!

Sorry about the resolution...the picture didn't take very well. :)

Winners?

I am stoked. I won my first contest!!! I got an email today with the winners for the downline contest and my name was among them. Wahoo. I am so excited. Lindsey entered with me and won as well. YEAH for us!!! :)

Birth Announcement!

My sister-in-law has three girls and is having her first boy. For her birthday I helped her design birth announcements and we cut and stamped away this weekend. I love the colors and this new stamp set. Congrats, Carol! Can anyone tell how much I love ribbon? :)

Birthday Card for Claire!

Here is the birthday card I made for Claire. I used this to cover the Peter Piper Pizza postcards to send as her birthday invitations. She really likes them and I had fun making 'em! I can't believe she is turning 6. Where has the time gone?

Wish Me Luck!

Well, I entered my first contest today.  It's a contest through a stampin up demonstrator and the winners get $50 in free merchandise. I bit the bullet and entered!

Here are the layouts I submitted:
The contest called for 2 layouts (or 3 cards) using punches and patterned paper. I had these layouts already done so I just tweaked them a bit. :)

And I'm Back!

It has been six weeks since I have been home , which means it has been 6 weeks since I have stamped. Naturally I have been dying to play around. I did this layout with a stamp camp kit from Lindsey. I changed it up a bit and this is what I came up with!

Split Coast Color Challenge

This is my card for the splitcoast color challenge today.  Colors were certainly celery, blue bayou, and soft sky. I am always needing baby cards and my friend Jen in Utah is due any day now. :) So this one is for Jen's baby boy.

Something I have been working on...

I have been working on this sign for a friend of mine. She wanted me to make it for her daughter's room. Although everything isn't stuck down and we will play with the flowers and butterflies this gives you an idea of what it will look like.

I have had a hard time piecing the background together. The right side still needs to be adhered but there will be one or two lines where the cardstock had to go on top. I  think once it is one the wall it won't be very noticeable and the letters cover up a lot. It will look better than this picture though. :)

Tomorrow's Make and Take!

Angie went to a stampin up party her friend Lynae had and they made this card. She thought it was way cute and wanted to show me.  After seeing a picture of it it thought I would make something like it for tomorrow's stock up and save party.  Very cute card, Lynae!

Here is my card with a few changes:

I love the ribbon charms and die cut bloom flowers. And of course, I had to use the striped ribbon! :)

Limited Supply Challenge

After I looked on Lindsey's blog I thought I would try the limited supply challenge today too! 

Challenge:  You can use any stamps, colors, paper, and embellishments, with the tools limited to any circle cutting system (circle punches, circle coluzzle, etc).

I used my new favorite set, Enjoy Every Moment with my new favorite color combo, Wild Wasabi, Regal Rose, and Basic Gray. It was a lot of fun. This is the first time I have done a limited supply challenge and it was tough when I would think of adding something but couldn't cause it was a tool!

Thanks for stopping by. 

And the Winner Is...

Tonya!!!

Congrats, you won the Friendship Shapes Stamp Set!

Thank you to everyone for looking at my blog!

Have a great weekend!
