Stampin' In Alaska

  I'm joining the current Art Impressions challenge to use the color yellow.  I was a recent winner at Art Impressions and chose Kim Hein's adorable Song Birds and Feeders Set.   The image was stamped with my Misti which gave easy alignment for the bird landing on the birdbath.  I used Strathmore watercolor paper and colored with a blender and Tombow markers. The image was die cut with Spellbinder circle and scallop circle dies.  Cardstock from Stampin' Up! - Basic Grey and More Mustard frame the image.  Seam tape ribbon, dry embossed designer paper from Graphic45, gems and leaf dies from Verve Stamps accent the card.  The sentiment is also from Art Impressions. I would like to share my card with the following: Art Impressions Challenge:  #427 Yellow Simon Says Stamp Monday:   Anniversary/Wedding Simon Says Stamp Wednesday:   Anything Goes Word Art Wednesday:  Anything Goes Paper Funday Challenge:   AG + Mountain...

  I'm getting a head start on my Mother's Day cards with this adorable Daffodil Delivery digital image from Di's Digi Designs.  You can find an updated version in Di's Etsy shop HERE . The image was printed onto X-Press It card stock and colored with Copic Markers.  The image and frame panel were die cut with Spellbinders Oval dies then layered onto designer paper from Graphic45.   The Mother's Day sentiment is from Hero Arts and was wet embossed on vellum then adhered.  I finished the A2 size card with coordinating baker's twine.

  I'm joining the current Art Impressions Challenge to CASE that Card !  My card features AI stamps from their Bird Brain line.  Birdie and Stay in Your Nest were both retired in 2018.  I love this big chicken and he's perfect for so many occasions.  Papers are from Graphic45 Farmhouse and the chicken wire embossing folder is Cuttlebug.  Cheese cloth and enamel dots complete the 5.5 square card. This is Donna's card who I chose to CASE. You can link to it on Donna's blog  HERE .

I'm joining the current challenge at Di's Digital Challenge.  This week's theme is Welcome Spring .  My project includes Di's adorable digital image The Hedgehog, the mole, and the Fox.  I printed this image and fussy cut the hedgehog for my Mother's Day card. The image was colored with Copic Markers and layered onto designer paper from Graphic 45 French Country paper pad.  Paper Sunflowers and doily were from my stash.  The sentiment is from Hero Arts.

We awoke to -10 degree temperatures in Anchorage this morning.  If that wasn't enough fun for the day, when I went to get my car out the garage for church, the garage door was frozen.  Ugh!  DH had already left for work so I got to stay home all day. Since I had a little extra stamping time today, I decided to put together an altered composition book.  My mom likes to use a journal when they take trips.  I recently bought this adorable camera embellishment at Mike's in the $2 bin.  So, I thought, why not make a travel journal?! Here's the supplies that I used: Here's the finished book: Easy peasy!  After I glued the designer paper to the book, I trimmed and sanded the edges.  In all, it only took about 30 minutes to put together.  Thanks for stopping by and taking a look!  Now I have to get this in the mail so my Mom can use it on her next trip! Don't forget to take a photo of what you've been up to recently.  It's...

This week's sketch over on the CPS - Card Sketches blog is My Favorite Things . When I saw the sketch I knew I would use "Just My Type". I love the matching die. I am completely smitten with the detail of this fabulous vintage typewriter! I have combined the MFT image and sentiment with papers from Graphic45 Communique Collection. I love Graphic45 products and I tend to hoard more than use these gorgeous vintage papers! Fun sketch again this week, Tami! I'm glad I got a chance to play along.
