Stampin' In Alaska

This week's Jellypark challenge is "Pinktober" -- to include lots of pink on our project. I printed out this sweet " Just for You " tag for use in a pocket card.  The pocket card is for a Hope You Can Cling To Challenge over on Splitcoast stampers. The designer papers are Raspberry Tart from Stampin' Up!   They really are a nice, coordinating pink IRL.  You can find the Trifold Pocket Card Tutorial HERE . Thanks for stopping by for a closer look! I hope you are having a creative week.

I hope you are having a fabulous Sunday! I am stopping in with a quick post for this week's Art Impressions Challenge - Perfect Papers. Our challenge is to use three pattern papers and/or textures. My card includes three patterned papers and several  different textures.  This "cool" little penguin is from Art Impressions called " Surfer Dude ". He was embossed with black embossing powder from  Close To My Heart and colored with Sakura glaze pens and Copic Markers. A layer of dimensional glaze was applied to the surfboard. The sun was die cut using fun foam!  Love the dimension it provides to the project. This bright, cheerful card is going to the  MD Anderson Cancer Center for patients and families.  The month of October is Breast Cancer Awareness  and Splitcoast Stampers is hosting a card drive for MD Anderson. You can check out all of the details on the   Hope You Can Cling To Challenge Forum . ...

I hope you are having a fabulous weekend! One more day and back to work for me. I am stopping in with a quick post for the  Stella Says Sketch Challenge . I bought this image from Bugaboo last year after the Hope You Can Cling To Challenge over on Splitcoast Stampers.  It's so perfect for this month's breast cancer awareness! The Unity sentiment  is a perfect compliment to the image. Below is our sketch challenge for this week: Thanks for stopping by for a closer look!

Happy Saturday and welcome to a new sketch from The Sweet Stop . In case you missed last week's announcement, this will be the final challenge for The Sweet Stop. I have truly enjoyed my time with the Sugar Babies. The inspiration that I have gained from the team and challenge participants has been truly invaluable. I will miss the design team ladies and all of you who have followed along! So, below is my take on this week's sketch using Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Landscape Silhouettes and Across the Miles This card is also going to MD Anderson Cancer Center as part of this month's Hope You Can Cling To Challenge over on Splitcoast Stampers blog.

Happy Wednesday! I am back with my second post for the day.   (that doesn't happen often!) I picked up a couple of free digital images from Paulette over on the Create With TLC Blog a couple of months ago. Today's Hope You Can Cling To Challenge was the perfect opportunity to put them to use. Our challenge today was to create something inspired by a fairy tale.  The Disney theme song kept running  through my head.... "When you wish upon a star..." When you wish upon a star Makes no difference who you are Anything your heart desires Will come to you If your heart is in your dream No request is too extreme When you wish upon a star As dreamers do Fate is kind She brings to those to love The sweet fulfillment of Their secret longing Like a bolt out of the blue Fate steps in and sees you through When you wish upon a star Your dreams come true Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you have a creative week.

Good morning! Hubby and I just returned from a visit with family. We had lots of good food, fellowship,  great memories! Thought I would stop in quickly this morning to share a couple of photos from the trip with my friends over on the Sassy Cheryl Show Me Challenge Blog . It rarely happens that all of the family is together at one time.   We had to preserve the memory with my parents, siblings and their spouses. My parents put out a Fall garden this year and they dug up their sweet potatoes while we were there.  I had to share this 3.5 pound sweet potato that they dug!  Yikes! My mom wanted to send it home with us, but I told her it might push my luggage over the 50 pound limit!  LOL! I hope you get a chance to play along with  the Sassy ladies this month.  You have until October 30 to post and share.... it doesn't have to be anything crafty, just what is going on in your part o...
