I decided to play along in the My Favorite Guest Designer challenge for December. The challenge is to use a watercoloring technique in my project.
Unfortunately I do not own any MFT stamps. Someday…maybe Santa will bring me a few sets for Christmas.
I decided to make a square card this time. I have never made one [...]

Good Morning! Well, I have had my half cup of coffee and started on the first 32oz. of the 96oz. of liquids that I am supposed to drink every day. I think I am ready to ‘wax eloquent’. Mbwah! Like that’s ever gonna happen!
But seriously, I am feeling long winded this morning so if you [...]

Well, I’m not gonna sugar coat it…this card just about did me in! I went into my craft room at 1:00pm to make this card for Cammie’s World Alzheimer’s Day Heart to Heart blog candy, Lori’s challenge using the CPS sketch and of course the CPS sketch challenge. A cool 10 hours later I finally [...]
Incredible Inspiration…Mackintosh Enamels
Posted in Cards, Challenges, Inspiration, Stampin' Up! on July 5, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Today’s splitcoaststamper’s challenge was ripe with inspiration for me! This card is for the Inspiration challenge #135. We could be inspired by anything from Mackintosh Enamels’ catalog. I chose this pattern, but I wanted a platter instead of a plate. That’s why my “plate” is an oval.
I love the way they display their collections with [...]

For some reason that song kept going through my head as I was making this card for my daddy. Today is his birthday! Happy birthday Daddy!!
This is the second card I have made today for the Splitcoaststampers Color Combinations Challenge #173. I was actually inspired by this card made by E3stamper. This set is one [...]
Purely Wild Celery…Sounds like something got loose in my garden

I made this card the Splitcoaststampers Color Combinations Challenge #173. This week’s challenge uses Wild Wasabi, Purely Pomegranate and Certainly Celery. Well, I don’t have Wild Wasabi or Purely Pomegranate, so I had to improvise with Old Olive and Rose Red. Not nearly as pretty together, but at least I get to [...]

I made this card for the Featured Stamper challenge on Splitcoaststampers. Michele’s gallery is a joy to look through and I had a hard time deciding. Here is the card that I chose to case. I kept the layout, tag, twine and twill tape the same. I had to change [...]
