Stampin' In Alaska

I hope you've had a fabulous and productive weekend! I'm stopping by with a fun card for this week's Jellypark Friends challenge: The Sentiment is the Key . I chose this sweet " Bear With Star " digital image from the Jellypark shop.  It's the perfect way to showcase a sentiment.  By the way, this set comes with three fun sentiments that you can include as your message. I kept my design clean and simple to focus on the sweet bear image holding his sentiment. Thanks for stopping by!  I always enjoy reading your comments.

Hello Saturday! Have you every had one of those weeks where you were super busy but yet you thought the work week would never end?? That's where this adorable giraffe from Art Impressions comes in..... I saw this at Stamp Attic , my LSS, a few months ago and couldn't resist the purchase.  It just made me smile. I colored the image with Copic Markers then fussy cut and  applied to the base panel of my card.  The card size is 6.25 x 3.5 and I followed this week's CAS challenge on Splitcoast Stampers . I'm also entering my card into this week's Simon Says Challenge: Anything Goes . Their sponsor this week is Art Impressions who is giving a lucky winner a fabulous prize.  I would LOVE to add more AI stamps to my collection! I am also sharing this with the new Create With TLC " Show it Off Sunday ". A  place to share your creations and be inspired by other artists.  How fun is that?  Hope you get a chance ...

It's finally Saturday and that means another Fun sketch at The Sweet Stop . Fall colors and cooler temperatures have begun to appear in my area of the world. Although I'm a little early, that puts me in the  mood to begin creating my Thanksgiving cards for friends and family. This week I chose to use an adorable digital image from Sweet 'n Sassy called " Save the Turkeys ".  For those of you who prefer the clear stamp version you can find it HERE in the Sweet 'n Sassy Shop. Here's our inspiration sketch for this week: Just a few things to keep in mind as you play.... -You do NOT have to use Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps images to play along,     but we sure love when you do! ~You may flip or rotate the sketch, change or replace the shapes,  but please make sure the general layout is recognizable. ~Share a direct link to your creation, not just your blog Be sure to stop by the blog and check o...

This has been such a busy and long week for me.  I am so excited that it's Friday and time to hop along with Unity's Friends with Flair blog hop .

Thanks for hopping by and I hope you have a fabulous weekend!

I got a chance to sneak over and check the new Bugaboo challenges  earlier this week.  I haven't been able to join the fun for awhile and I knew both challenges were perfect for the card I had in mind using " Stella Birthday - 29 Again ": Here's this week's Stella Sketch #142 that I used for inspiration: I am also entering my card for the   Bugaboo September Bingo Challenge : My card has a circle, homemade embellishments  (machine stitched and border punched), and rhinestone bling.
