Stampin' Chez Moi

Hello to you all and thanks for popping in!  I found four fabulous challenges that I wanted to play along with...so here goes! Poetic Artistry  formerly Mojo Monday had this fabulous sketch, so this was my beginning point! ~then over at   Festive Friday  we had so many elements to choose from, so my green is the Mint Macaron, paired with the Birthday Sentiment and a little silver Faceted Gem ~ hop over to  Handstamped Sentiment  and the color challenge of Lovely Lipstick, Mint Macaron & Gorgeous Grape equals one beautiful Birthday Card that also pairs with Seize the Birthday which asks for some White Space ~ so my additional panels are also white along with the card base, so I'm hoping I'm okay with this challenge, if there isn't enough white space, it is a wonderful birthday card!        On to my card! I had a blast creating this and did attempt to do my first ever FaceBook Live, but my wi-fi kept cutting out....

These challenges that I entered today were so much fun to play along with! First I found the sketch at Crazy4Challenge , then I knew I wanted to use the retired Forest Friends and join in the fun at Paper Players  and I was so pleasantly surprised when I found a subtle color challenge at CAS Colors  and knew it would work for 'baby' colors!  But how in the world was I going to get these colors to come together ~ then I found this technique as I was surfing around YouTube....well thank you SO much Tina Zinck  for the Rubber Band Technique!!! Do you ever catch yourself smiling while you create ~ well, that's the day I had creating this sweet card for my son ~ he needed a baby card along with some baby booties that I created as a gift for a client! So this little mess... became this ....  this is a picture of the sweet Loopy Boots that my son purchased from me as a gift  the little pink ones, got packed and sent off!  ...

I had so much fun playing along with this challenge at the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #355 -  I so seldom do clean and simple and always seem to work in layers...thanks so much for this challenge! ~ and here is my card ~  I ran this beautiful DSP through my embossing machine using the Subtles EF...if you zoom in a bit, you can see the elegant softness that the embossing folder creates on the DSP!  So beautiful ♥️ One clean & Simple card complete to go along with a super quick post ~ thanks for popping by, I hope I left you with some inspiration!  What is your favourite style of creativity ~ I'd love you know!

I found this fabulous Sketch here at... Freshly Made Sketches #420...and knew I wanted to play along! I needed a birthday card for one of our grandsons ~ and so I got right to work...or should I say play!  I love what I get to do! I caught myself smiling while I created this card ~ the Gang's All Meer ~ Hammered Metal EF, Stitched Rectangle Dies, Stampin' blends Old Olive, So Saffron, Calypso Coral, Crumb Cake ~ I also added a wee bit of Wink of Stella to the eyes of those sweet Meerkats and to the Catus! so fun and so sweet! I used the masking technique so I could add a few more MeerKats ~ notice that there are 9 in total ~ well, we have 8 grandkids (represented in the panel)...and the sweet little one popping out in the forefront..well that would be #9 0n the way in August! Blessings beyond!!! Thanks So much for popping by ~ Have a blessed Day! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask ~ I'd be happy to help you!!! Shop on line in...

I'm so blessed to be able to play in my studio ~ it's been a long year of tests and treatments ~ I have two more appointments in February and hopeful for a clean bill of health ~ I do covet your prayers ~ God is so good and He's got me in the very hollow of His hands ~ no matter what!! Now on to my post ~ I loosely followed the sketch as I didn't want to copy what the fabulous  Design Teams gals  showcased!...but I KNEW I wanted to play with my Little Ladybug Stamp Set along with the coordinating dies!!!  Sketch is brought to you by the  Paper Player 475  ~ so much fun!!! Here is my card ~ I sure hope I'm okay with the sketch ~ My panel is Cherry Cobbler and the Stampin' blends that I used are Calypso Coral, Cherry Cobbler & Old Olive, once my colouring was done, I added some Wink of Stella to my flower and Ladybugs ~ such a sweet and fun stamp set! How do you decide what stamp sets to let go of once they retire?  I really stru...

I found this great sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch ~ I haven't done a challenge is such a long time ~ my health issues have kept me away, I'm hoping to start blogging on a regular basis once again ~ it was so much fun to play along!  thanks for the great sketch  Su Mohr! Here is my card ~ lots of empty space, which is WAY over my comfort level...nice to step of out the box of what I normally do! This is a  quick little card using another SAB item ~ Thoughtful Blooms ~ colors used are Granny Apple Green, Gorgeous Grape, Merry Merlot, Night of Navy and a little Wink of Stella on the flowers, berries & leaves ~ quick and easy!
