Just real quick!

Good morning, just a real quick post today as the outdoors are calling to me! I hope you had a wonderful weekend, we sure did, I'll try to remember to post some graduation pictures soon!

Today I have made a Father's Day card using this weeks Mojo Monday sketch. I used some of the new dsp that I pre-ordered from the new 2011-2012 Stampin' Up! catalog. It is called Pocket Full of Posies. It features some really bold, vibrant colors like Rich Razzleberry, Daffodil Delight and Poppy Parade... so pretty! I also used some of the white bakers thread that is so popular right now... I am loving it!

That's it for now... I told you I'd be quick! Thanks for stopping by today!

Another day, another challenge...

Good morning! Today I decided to play along with the Stampin' Celebration Inspiration Challenge (that is a mouthful!) It is a challenge put on by a group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators. The challenge this week was to use black, white, silver and sparkle to ring in the new year. I wanted to make a tall card today and I love the now retired "It's a Stretch" stamp set for tall cards. (I was SO sad to see that one retire, I love it!) I embossed the image in silver and then colored it in. Layered it on Melon Mambo, then on Basic Black and finally on some shiny silver paper I had in my stash. The dsp will soon be available for free! It will be one of the items offered during Sale-A-Bration which is kicking off in just a few weeks! Thanks for stopping by, have a great day!
