Stampin' Chez Moi

I had the BEST day EVER today ~ my girlfriend came over at 10:15am and the creativity was flowing ~ my girlfriend made two amazing cards (should've taken a picture of us creating)...I love watching her create ~ out with the sketch she's wants to follow ~ a little tweak here and another there and there it is ~ another STUNNER...and yes, should have taken a picture ~ DUH!!!  Thanks for the best day my friend ~ I am blessed beyond words :-) and then I found a sweet sketch to follow, although it wasn't open any longer, but I was on a roll and lovin' the sketch and the card that I was CASing .... thanks for your amazing card LeAnne ... I hope you're okay with me using your card for inspiration ~ your card is absolutely stunning ~ love your creativity so much...so wonderful to see what you share! Thanks So here's my cards that were inspired by LeAnne's card and the sketch at Just Add Ink I created each of these just a bit different ~ the top card...

Just a super quick post here...running out the door right away and forgot to do this yesterday...scatter brain over here ~ anyone else with this symptom :-) I created this card the other day and then into my 'inbox' this popped up yesterday from RetroSketches ~ I couldn't believe  how close the sketch was to my card ~ the sketch has the main image in a circle, but mine was square ~ hope thats okay girls ~ LOVE this....jump in and play along here is the sketch that is mostly like my card... and here is my card ~  Gotta run...thanks for popping by ~ have a great 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!!

What a fun day of creating I had ~ knew I wanted a birthday card but didn't have a starting place so I went on a hunt to find the challenges that would fit with the Big Day stamp set ~ I found this great sketch to follow from  retro sketches #154   and then this wonderful color challenge at  Stampin' Royalty #268     I can't believe this is the first time I've used the Large Polka Dot EF ~ I fussy cut around the banner and used Dimensionals to give it some depth ~ coloured each letter in CAKE to go along with the color challenge and then added Crystal Effects to each letter ~ I am pleased with the finished card, but it does look much nicer IRL Built for Free Using: My Stampin Blog Jump on in and join these challenges ~ there is still time to play...so let's go!! Thanks so much for popping by today ~ I hope you have a great day ~ Happy Creating ~ If you live in Winnipeg or the vicinity and would like to host a par...

I enjoyed a wonderful day of creating and found three great challenges to follow ~ you should jump in on the fun ~ first I found this wonderful sketch at the Friday Mashup!  great sketch Avery! Thanks!!! Dropped in on Connie & Mary and found a great color challenge and then popped in at Seize the Birthday and joined them again...thanks girls for these great challenges! I am loving the new Lotus Blossom stamp set from the Sale-A-Bration catalogue, oh and I love the that honeycomb from the Butterfly Basics stamp set too...and Sequins...and Gorgeous Grunge...these are MUST haves in my creative corner!!! Here is the birthday card that I created ~ I was very pleased with the card! I looked for my Lost Lagoon Stamp Pad, but couldn't seem to find it...must have gotten lost in the move, or maybe, I don't even own it...so I used Bermuda Bay ~ hope that's okay girls ~ I'm really pleased with the outcome of this birthday card ~ jump in and join in the fun!!...

ARRRHHH....Two Pirate cards back to back...how fun is that? This little monkey is having a birthday in a couple of weeks and he is also into Jake the Pirate, so of course we have to buy him a Jake the Pirate Ship (shhhh) and I needed a card to go along with the theme of the party ~ can't wait for Lucas to get his gift and matching card!  Happy 2nd birthday      sweet one ~ xoxo How fun to find two amazing challenges to go along with my card ~ this sketch at  Freshly Made Sketch # 171  was perfect for my card, I took my three banners and gave them a bit of a slant and then topped it off with this fun Happy Birthday Banner, I then fussy cut this and sponged the edges! and then the  Seize The Birthday  birthday was "Anything Goes"...bonus!  Thanks for these wonderful challenges...and there is still time to play, so why don't you jump in and join the fun :-) Here is Lucas' birthday card, the texture on the Basic Black CS is a l...

How much fun to create a birthday card for Isaac ~ I can't believe our little man will be six next week ~ This is Isaac on the roof top of the condo that we are currently living in ~ the view in the background  is the beautiful French Quarters and The Forks Market in our city ~ we love our new neighbourhood and have embraced our new life style ~ our new condo is down the road about four blocks closer to this beautiful view! Here we are with our seven grandchildren...wow!!! So much love to share with these wonderful children ~ Six boys ~ One girl I followed this wonderful sketch from Freshly Made Sketches #170 and since this is a birthday card, it also works with the challenge from Seize The Birthday ~ join in the fun...there is still time to play Isaac loves the Mixels ...a silly fun toy made by Lego..and so, you may not understand this card, but Isaac will be head over heels with his card...and...his gifts....shhhh!!!! Not a word, promise :-) If y...

Well I'm slowly getting into the hang of stampin' in a tiny area...and I mean tiny...we moved from our home of 23 years just this past summer ~ my studio was 1800 sq feet, as I claimed the entire basement and it was wonderful ~ now our entire space that we're in is 960 sq feet! We've purchased a 1400 sq foot condo, but it won't be ready until March (my hope)...Dean figures May...I'll stick with my hope for now! When I saw the challenge at Color Throwdown I knew exactly what I wanted to do with this fabulous challenge ~ and there is still time to play, so jump on in and join in the fun The Chalk Board Technique is SO much fun...I find it SO hard to create a one layer card well, I sure think it's difficult...., but the Chalk Board Technique satisfied the one layered card for me ~   I'll be creating more of these, stay posted as I'll be posting a few more Chalk Boards ~ but in the mean time...Here is my first ever try at the Cha...
