This week's theme for the Stamp, Ink, Paper Challenge is a color combo of red, green, and gold......  Well, gold is not something I use much of, so I had a bit of a challenge coming up with something that would work to help meet the challenge.

This is what I came up with.....

The card base is Cherry Cobbler, as is the ink I used to stamp the sentiment.  The sentiment is from Stampin Up's "Tin of Tags".  The images are from "pebbles". And, here is the funny part......the gold ribbon is out of my wrapping stash!!!  I was wrapping a few gifts last night for Titus to take to his co-workers, and luckily, the roll contained some gold.  Yay me!

The sentiment is stamped on Very Vanilla, the images are applied with dimensionals.

Please take a moment to join our challenge is you can. 

Merry Christmas.

Hug your pets!

This week's Stamp, Ink, Paper Challenge is "Let It Snow".

Here is northern Wisconsin, we are still waiting on some snow.  We had a bit a while back, but that has pretty much all melted.  I can't believe it is into December, and we have no snow.  One to two inches is in the forecast for tonight, so maybe it will be all white outside in the morning when I leave work.  I love the look of snow, but hate to drive in it!!

My card for this challenge is pretty simple.  Sometimes simple is best.  I just couldn't think of anything to add to it.  

The stamps are from Unity Stamp Company.  The colors I used are Dapper Denim and Pool Party.

Please join the challenge if you can!!  There is so much you can do with this theme!!

Make it a great day.

Hug your pets!!

Happy Thanksgiving week!!

Hope you are getting to enjoy some extra holiday time with family and friends.  Safe travels if you are heading out and about.  :)

This week at Stamp, Ink, Paper......

our challenge for you is "Grateful, Thankful, Blessed".

I went with a simple "thank you" card.  I had made some similar to send out after my dad passed away earlier this year, and I needed a few more for some coworkers recently. I had just loved how they turned out, so I made more of them, almost the same.

I started with my "go to" stamp set, Lovely as a Tree.

I stamped it in black, and sponged in some colors using Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Pool Party, and Pear Pizzazz.  I then attached the white layer to coordinating cardstock, and done!!

A quick and simple card.  I can always count on that stamp set to help me out if I am ever at a loss for something to make.  :)

Have a safe and Blessed Thanksgiving.

Hello again!!  

Thanks for stopping by.....

This week's Stamp, Ink, Paper challenge is some pretty colors for fall. And, the timing is perfect as I picked up my new "Painted Harvest" stamp set at the post office today!!!  It has, sadly, been sitting there since Friday, but I had no opportunity to get there before today.  How sad!!

Here is my first project with it.....

My colors used are Chocolate Chip, Pumpkin Pie, and Crushed Curry for the ink. Chocolate Chip is also the card base color, but I snuck in some Early Espresso ribbon under the sentiment.

This past week we had to say goodbye to my best furry friend, Scout.  

That makes all three pups we have lost within the last 14 months.  It is very sad, and very quiet, in our house now.  I don't think my heart is quite ready for a new pup yet, but maybe within a few months.  So, hug your furkids extra close today!!

Please take a moment to join in our challenge this week.  I know I will be playing with this stamp set again soon......I love it!!  And it worked really well with the challenge colors.  My new "toys" came in the mail at a good time.....I need the distraction!!

Make it a great week.

Hug your pets!!

Hello there!!  And thanks for stopping by!!

I am not much of a wine or coffee drinker, so I don't have any wine stamps, and only a few coffee ones, so I had to think of something totally different.  And this is where I went.....

Te card base is Flirty Flamingo.  The stamp is from Stampabilities.  It is stamped in black, and colored in with Copics. 

Please join us if you can!!!

Make it a great week.

Hug your pets!!!

Hello!!!!!

Thanks for stopping by.

This is, surprise...surprise, not my original idea for this week's sketch.

But, when I went to make my card, I couldn't find the framelits I wanted to use. So that meant going back to the drawing board, and doing so quickly, as I didn't realize it was getting late, and my link was due!!

The card base is Old Olive. The white layer I ran through a snowflake filled embossing folder. The dsp is from a retired SU Christmas collection, I believe. The Cherry Cobbler swirly swirl is cut out using the Swirly Scribbles framelits. and the penguin and sentiment are from 'pebbles'.

I was inspired to use this sentiment because I wore up to THIS on Saturday morning....

Yuk.  Winter seems to be coming early to northern Wisconsin.

It s such a fun sketch!!  I hope you can find some time to make something to share with us.  IF I come across my tree framelits, I may try my original idea.  lol

Make it a great day.

Hug your pets!!

Hello!!!  

Thanks for checking out my post for challenge #122 at Stamp, Ink, Paper.

This week washi tape is in the spotlight.  I must admit that I don't think to use washi much, but I do have about two dozen rolls of it for some reason, so luckily I was prepared!!  lol

I am in Christmas mode, as I am getting ready for a craft fair, so that made my choice of washi easy.

I used the Perfect Pines framelits (SU) to cut the tree and star. The stitched oval is from Gina Steimel.  The sentiment is from Better Together (SU).

The oval is pooped up with some foam squares.

Can't wait to see what you come up with using your washi.  Perhaps you will inspire me to use mine more!!

Have a great week.

Hug your pets!!
