Stampin' Royalty Challenge #147

This week's Stampin' Royalty Challenge is Halloween.  Well, this weekend in preparation for Halloween, we headed off to the Pumpkin Patch with my sis-in-law, her husband and their gorgeous kids:)  I figured that part of my Halloween preparation involves scrapbooking these pages:)  There's my tie to Halloween and I'm sticking to it:)  The new MDS Wonderfall kit was PERFECT for this, and WOW... do I ever love the new "Paper Rip" option... if you haven't found it yet let me know and I'll put a 30 second tutorial together for you on it!

Make sure to head over to Stampin' Royalty and check out the other fabulous samples created by the design team!

Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge #141

I absolutely love the inspiration photo for this weeks Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge.  Fall is such a stunning time of year and the colours are so rich!  I think that Stampin' Up captured these colours so perfectly in the Orchard Harvest DSP!  I promised myself that I wasn't going to buy the Wonderfall stamp set and coordinating die.  I knew how much I loved them, but I couldn't justify purchasing them. Or at least I told myself I couldn't ... until last week when I caved:)

Make sure to head over to Hand Stamped Sentiments and check out the gorgeous samples by the other design team members.  I'd love to see what this photo inspires you to create!

Christmas Card CASE#2

Here was another fun card from my first Christmas Stamp-a-Stack of the Season.  CASE'ing doesn't mean that you have to stick to the card exactly; using it as a sketch/ guideline also works perfectly:)  This card was perfect for a Stamp-a-Stack... so simple and clean!  I LOVE IT!  Thanks for sharing Tammy!!!

Christmas CASE #1

This time of year is completely insane between the kids starting school, me heading back to work after the summer, and the start up of all the kids activities.  On top of that, this is one of the busiest times of year for me with my Stampin' Up business. Clubs have started up again after the summer and my Christmas Stamp-a-Stacks have officially started.  The one thing that I don't seem to have time for is creating masterpieces.  This is where I turn to all the amazingly talented friends that I've made in the stamping world.  Every time I come across a gorgeous card on the internet, I bookmark it for my Christmas Stamp-a-Stack files.  I'd love to share these gorgeous creations with you and help alleviate some of your holiday planning too!  I'll try to share three or four with you every week for the next few weeks... at least that's my plan:)

This perfect little card was a complete CASE, but the photo that I saved wasn't watermarked and doesn't have a blog link. Not sure if the person I saved it from was even the original creator.  I've now adopted a new way of saving the photos in which I change the name of the photo to the creator so it saves me and allows me to give credit where credit is due.  If you know who the original creator of this card was please send it to me so I can add a blog link to them!
