Oops, a little late on the Diva challenge!

Oops, I can't believe how distracted I've become lately.  Barely any stamping time, and I didn't notice that I'd forgotten to post my Diva card last Wednesday.  Ah well,  I guess we all experience different phases in our lives and changes therein.  Who knows what tomorrow brings, right?! 

Anyway, here it is. 

We had a lovely sketch to work with last week- and considering I have barely stamped a thing lately I'm surprised at how much I like what I came up with.  I pulled out some old felt flowers, the Finial Press embossing folder and my favorite reliable stamp set, Aviary. 

Here's a shot of the inside since I did that as well.  Hope you like it.  I'll try to be back soon.  Might not be so hard with the rainy forecast I'm seeing... although we've also got baseball games forecast for nearly every day.  Have a great week and thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to go visit the Diva blog to see the sketch and other fine examples.

Sweet Summer Wedding

Good morning!  I hope you're ready for another Diva Coffee Break Designs challenge today!  Here are the colors we challenge you to use together:  Certainly Celery, Pretty in Pink and Perfect Plum. 

Would you like an awesome sketch to pair with our color challenge??  How about this one from Stampin' 411?!  I loved it and it really helped get me going on this card when I didn't have much time to crank it out. 

So glad you stopped by today!  I hope you'll visit the Diva blog and consider playing along with our challenge.  We'd love to see what you come up with!

Hope you like it and thanks for stopping by!

Blushing Pizzazz

Boy, I really pulled out some neglected goodies for this one!  This color challenge is from the Color Throwdown to use Pear Pizzazz, Crumb Cake and Blushing Bride and let me tell ya, Blushing Bride is very underused in my color collection!  I love it with this combo though.   Also squeeed in there a Stitched Felt Sweet Pea flower (leaf actually) which I'd completely forgotten I had until I found them recently.  It is Old Olive, but look how nice it coordinates with the Pear Pizzazz.  That's one thing I love about Stampin' Up!  Finally, this stamp set, Pick a Petal- wow!  Can't remember the last time I used it! 

The sketch I used is for yesterday's challenge on Splitcoast Stampers.  Lots of possibilities with those panels in the background! 

Hope you like it!  I had fun playing along today.  Having our second snow day in a row but my hubby (bless his heart) has the kiddos out  rabbit hunting so mama is enjoying some quiet time.  :)  I'm hoping to do some scrapbooking the rest of today, tomorrow evening with my friend and neighbor, then again next weekend with my mom, sister and aunt!  Fun things to look forward to!

Have a great day!

Happy Moments!

I've missed the MOJO sketch challenges recently so decided to finally play along this week. I've been having so much fun with SU's new Demo-only website that has a fun Facebook look and feel, that I've neglected my stamping!

These colors came to me in kind of a funny way- I ordered several packs of paper in my last order and when they arrived they looked so nice next to each other I just had to use them together! They are Sahara Sand, Rich Razzleberry, Pale Plum and Whisper White.

You might not believe it but this is my FIRST time using an actual clear-acrylic block with my new unmounted SU stamps! I won't even try to explain how I'd been using them before. I also squeezed on here some other products from the new Occasions Mini Catalog: Chocolate Epoxy brad, Scallop Trim punch and Polka Dot Textured Impressions folder.

Hope you like it. Don't forget to comment on my last post for a chance to win the awesome blog candy! Thanks for stopping by today,
~Kristin
