Friday MashUp & Challenge 222!

I'm not sure about you, but I have to admit ~ I do get excited when it's a rainy day in spring...stampin' here I come! It could be that we have a large yard and large gardens, so I really don't mind the break. I ran around and got the errands done and scooted home to my studio! What a great day! I found two great challenges to play with ~ Friday MashUp & Latenight Stamper's Challenge 222!
Friday Mash Up used this sketch and also asked us to make a set of cards ~ I did two identical ones, so I'm thinking that I actually did a Mash! Love this sketch BTW!


The Latenight Stamper's Challenge was to use retiring colors, so I got to work using, River Rock, Not Quite Navy & Bravo Burgundy...gonna miss you! I also used retired stamp sets, and I'll be hangin' on to these for sure....I really struggled with this as I was creating a male card and still don't know how I feel about it ~ just toooo simple I guess, but it's a wrap regardless!


Thanks for stopping by and having a peek at my card....here's a little of what I did yesterday.....
I had a blast with our little Owen ~ we had a play date yesterday afternoon and so we did what little boys love doing the most!





Throwing rocks in grampa's pond ~ we keep a couple of buckets by the pond specifically for rock toss!
Enjoy your day!

If you live in Winnipeg or the vicinity and would like to host a party I would love to come and stamp with you and your friends!! Or, if space is an issue, come here and create with me at one of my many clubs or classes! Drop me a line for further info! I'd love to meet you! Enjoy your day!

Hello friends and I want to wish you a Blessed Happy New Year!!!  A year filled with love, hope and peace!!! And I want to welcome you here, to the first Technique Tuesday of the year.  The call for this Technique is using the Brayer!  Oh boy, I haven't used my Brayer in years...so here we go!! Did you see this new Embossing Folder?  It's from the new Adoring Hearts Bundle and wow!!! what a Bundle this is, we have the Stamp Set, Embossing Hybrid Folder, and the Dies, that work with the Embossing Folder.  So whenever you have an Embossing Folder, that is Hybrid, well, that means you Die Cut and Emboss at the same time...Easy Peasy and AMAZING!!! So what I did was, with my Blackberry Bliss Stamp Pad, I inked Brayered the inside of the Embossing Folder, then carefully laid the Die into the Embossing Folder, placed a 6" x 6" piece of Basic White CS, into the folder!  Ran that through my Cut & Emboss Machine and voilà Stampin Dimensionals behind these sweet ...
