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,

Harvest of Thanks

Hello Stampers,

Well, I'm almost ready for the craft sale this weekend, but I couldn't leave without doing just one more challenge...so I combined two together.  ;) Thanks to the Paper Players  for this fall theme challenge and to Retro Sketches for the sketch!  I hope you can get a little time away in your creative space today and create.  I promise,  it'll do your soul good!

Rev Up The Fun!

Hello Stamping Friends,

    Today's card was inspired by Andrea Walford's card from my Blog Hop yesterday and the Paper Players latest sketch challenge.  This card came together fairly quickly with a little bit of stamping, die cutting with the Ovals Framelits and the newest "kid on the block" Thinlit Card Dies.  I love all of the expressions and little elements that come with the card dies.  SO much fun!  I thought this card turned out just perfect for a little boy and I have just the boy in mind for it.  :)  When his birthday comes around, he'll be Revin' Up The Fun!  

Enjoy and happy stampin'!

Birthday Basics and Bling!

 Hello Friends,

     Here today with a new card inspired by a sketch challenge from the folks over at Sunday Stamps AND the Bling challenge at Paper Players.  I absolutely love the new Birthday Basics designer series paper from Stampin Up and I thought it would be perfect for this challenge.  It was a pretty quick and easy card, too.  A fun and bold patterned paper and an equally bold focal sentiment make this card a success for me.   Hope you enjoy it too.  (this paper is so much fun, I smiled the whole time I was playing!)   :-D

blessings,

barb
