And His Name Shall Be Called Wonderful...

Hello Stampers,
It's late here in Oklahoma, but I was bound and determined to finish this color challenge for Create With Connie and Mary.  These are not my normal "go to" colors, so I especially wanted to take it on.  :)  I combined this card with this week's MoJo Monday sketch challenge.  I must admit to you that this card was neither quick nor easy for me, but I knew I needed to just push through.  Can you tell that sometimes I might just give up a little too easily?  lol  Hope you enjoy this "Christmas In Pastels."  
Happy Stamping,
barb

Get Well Wishes

Good Sunday, Stampers!
It's been a few days since my last post.  (Feels good to be back.)  The craft show in Missouri that I went to last weekend was REALLY hot and lots of fun.  Did just so-so selling cards, but I learned quite a bit about how to set up and prepare.  It was very good experience, besides being with good family over the weekend.  ;)
Today's card combines 3 challenges and I'm pretty happy with the results.  Sketch challenge from Sketch Frenzy Friday, Color Challenge from Paper Pal Arts, and theme challenge from Addicted To CAS.  Phew!  Now that you know where all of the inspiration came from...we are onto my card!  Hope you enjoy and happy stamping!

Heartfelt Layered Labels

Good Monday, Stampers!
I'm back from the craft show last weekend, and for it being my very first one, I can say I'm pleased with the outcome.  I learned so much and had so, so much fun.  ;)  So, today I'm back in my creative place and created a card highlighting two challenges.  A sketch challenge from Freshly Made Sketches and a color challenge from the folks over at The Paper Players.  My very favorite tool, The Stampin' Up! Big Shot makes this is a very quick and easy card.  The large focal shape is the star of this card.   Hope you get some creative time this week.  
Happy Stamping,
barb
