Perfect Blend (The Mojo and a Snow Day!)

Hi!

We're having another snow day, and I love it! Perfect for me to catch up on work and to get things ready for the baby (that's due in 4 weeks!)

Speaking of "Perfect"... Today I used the Stampin' Up! Perfect Blend stamp set to play along with the Mojo Monday Sketch challenge. I've had this set for a while and am just getting around to playing with it. I've also had the Simply Pressed Clay (the button) for-eva and am just now using it. I like it and it is easy to use.

We'll be playing with it at my stamp clubs this week. Actually, this is one of the cards we'll make.

Here's the sketch...

Loving the Expressions Thinlits Dies... Thankful!

Hi!  Today I was able to go to my Stampin' Up! Team meeting.  These meetings are so inspirational and fun!  One of the things that we all love to do at any Stampin' Up! event is swap.  We usually just make a ton of one card design and swap them out with each other.  That way, we come home with lots of different samples to share with our own customers and friends.  Here's the swap that I designed.  It was pretty simple, but of course, all of my cards are!  Did you realize?  There is not any stamping on it!

  I simply used crumb cake card stock, Soho Subway Designer Series Paper, the Woodgrain embossing folder, Victoria Ribbon, Very Vintage Designer Buttons, Linen thread and of course the Expressions Thinlits Dies cut out of Cajun Craze cardstock (my favorite fall color!)

All of these items can be found in my online store... just click here!

Wouldn't you like to join my team?  Right now you can join for only $25!  You'll be able to attend all of these fun stamping events with me!  Click here for more details!  There's only 2 more days to join for this once in a lifetime price! Email me with any questions!

Sweater Weather Paper and the Freshly Made Sketch Challenge

Hi!
I know it's been a while since I've posted, but I'm back now!!!

Tonight I decided to play along with the Freshly Made Sketch Challenge. They are celebrating their 100th sketch this week.  Congratulations!

 Here's the sketch...
And here's my take on it....

I really love this Designer Series Paper.... It's called Sweater Weather and It's in the Holiday Catalog.  (132184)... Isn't the name cozy???  I can't wait for fall!

I used the stamp set, Chalk Talk along with Sahara Sand and Chocolate Chip Paper.  I stamped the sentiment in Chocolate Chip ink , punched it out with the extra-large oval punch. I added some of the new Burlap Ribbon from the Holiday Catalog and tied it with linen thread.  Last, I placed 3 mini brads on the top right side.  All items used are current Stampin' Up! products and can be purchased through my online store by clicking here!

Enjoy!
