SC181

Woohoo! I'm on a roll. This is my 6th post this week!! I think my mojo is definitely back =)...now if only I wasn't bored with most of my stamps, lol. My stamp room hasn't seen new rubber in so long. I did just place a small order yesterday though =). I got From the Kitchen and some other stuff to make a recipe box. I'm really looking forward to starting on that. Oh, and Erin Bailey sent my a GORGEOUS card yesterday with some Bloomin' Beautiful images =). I didn't even like that set till I saw her card, but now I LOVE it! You can see the card HERE. but it's even prettier in person.

I did both of these cards for SC181 on SCS. I love this sketch! And I'm so proud of myself. I haven't touched looks like spring in forever...probably at least a year. =) BTW, I got the piercing idea from Becky Carafa. I just loved the way she pierced around the main panel. I got the color combo from the verve visual blog.
-Stamps-Looks Like Spring and Embrace Life
-Paper-So Saffron, Kraft, Basic Black and Whisper White cardstock; So Saffron and Real Red prints paper
-Ink-So Saffron and Real Red
-Accessories-Mat Pack, Paper Piercer and Build a Brad

The main panel on this card was done by masking and sponging.
-Stamps-Embrace Life, One of a Kind, and Ginormous Flowers (for the leaves).
-Paper-Certainly Celery, Purely Pomegranate, Chocolate chip and Whisper White cardstock; Rose Red and Pretty in Pink prints.
-Ink-Chocolate Chip, Pretty in Pink and Certainly Celery.
-Accessories-Mat Pack, Paper piercer, Pink Taffeta and clear rhinestone brad.

Carla's sketch challenge

I just made this card for Carla's sketch challenge. Her blog is really great by the way, so go check it out! I really loved this sketch! I don't think I did such a great job with it, but it was a great sketch. I think I'm going to try it again when I get my InColors Friday. I ordered all the InColors and Fabulous Flowers. I'm really excited to get that set. I actually hated it at first (I thought it was absolutely hideous!), but then I kept seeing such amazing cards with it so I had to have it =). Actually I didn't like most of the new colors at first either, but thanks to SCS, I decided I couldn't live with out them all, lol. Amazing how your tastes change when you spend enough time looking at the gallery on SCS. =)This card 4 3/4 square
-Stamps-Ginormous Flowers, Baroque Motifs, and It's All Good
-Paper-Rose Red prints paper, Rose red, So Saffron, Chocolate Chip and Very Vanilla cardstock.
-Ink-Rose red, So Saffron, Chocolate Chip and Pretty in Pink

Ginormous Flowers & Big Pieces

Well, I finally made something with my new stamp sets! I didn't get too much on my first order. I got Ginormous Flowers, Big Pieces, It's All Good and Baroque Motifs. I need to get off my butt and make some more stuff now =).


I still can't believe Cool Caribbean is retired. But I'm going to keep using it anyway. =)
This layout was a CASE from Beate.
-Stamps-Ginormous Flowers, Big Pieces, It's All Good, and Polka dots & Paisley.
-Ink-Cool Caribbean, Rose Red and Old Olive
-Paper-Cool Caribbean, Rose Red, Chocolate Chip and Old Olive
-Accessories-Pewter Hodgepodge Hardware, Rhinestone brad, White Signo Gel Pen, and the ribbon I just love! I got at Michaels. It's Elements by American Crafts. I don't have the InColors yet, but I think it would look great with Purely Pomegranate.
