Happy FRIDAY!

Friday is here and I have a lot to get done before Monday. My daughter has a cheer competition in Bellevue, WA that I will have to miss but my dad is going to so support her, He is the best!

Today I have something a little different to share with you. The 3 week of each month Stylin Stampin INKspiration does a Scrapbook page Sketch Challenge. Mine is not really a scrapbook page but I used the design in a framed art piece I made for my niece as a baby shower gift. Her sons name is Lucas This was a fun project to make. I already have a few more being requested by friends!

Supplies Used:

Cardstock: Lucky Limeade(retired), Marina Mist 

DSP: Nursery Nest (retired)

Single Layer Challenge

The weekend is almost here! Any big plans for weekend?

Today's card was a BIG Challenge for me, Single Layer Valentines card from The Paper Players 179. I have not done a single layer card in a really long time, I may not have ever. I have to admit I sat at my desk on Pinterest and Google for awhile searching for ideas which leads to spending way too much time being wasted. I then looked over at my stamp sets and just grabbed a few and went to work. It was super simple if I just did not think about it too much. 

Supplies Used: 

Cardstock: Vary Vanilla

Stamp Sets: Hearts a Flutter & Loving Thoughts

Ink: Marina Mist & Calypso Coral & Basic Black

Fusion Birthday Card

It is "HUMP DAY", that means we are half way to Friday YAY!

Today cards is created using Fusion Card Challenge #2 sketch. This was a simple and quick card to make, and fun. When I saw the sketch I knew right away what I was going to do with flip flopping the colors. I was unsure of what colors to use until I say the Epic Day This and That paper still sitting on my desk from yesterdays card.

Supplies Used:

Cardstock: Basic Gray, DSP: Epic Day This & That

Stamp Set: Bring on the Cake

Tools: Decorative Label Punch

More Birthday's

Happy Tuesday Everyone! I hope your week is off to a good start.

I started working on my Birthday cards for February today, I only have 6 to make this month. I started with some man cards as 5 of them will go to men this month. One of them is my dad so I started with his. My dad is a wonderful man and will be taking my place this weekend and supporting my daughter at her cheer competition in Bellevue, WA.

I chose a sketch from Try Stampin on Tuesday's. I used the washi tape for my banners. Another little confession: this is the first time I have used any washi tape on a card, I have lots of it but just have not pulled it out yet until now. I have to say I LOVED it, super easy to use!

Supplies Used: Basic Gray Carstock

Epic Day This & That DSP & Washi tape

Stamp set: Label Love

Artisan Label punch.

Love is in the Air.

Hope everyone is having a fantastic Monday! I have a super busy week as I get ready for surgery next Monday. I know that I am probably stressing more than I need to but that is just me.

I was surfing the web this weekend looking for inspiration for my Valentines cards I want to make and send this year and found The Friday Mashup 143. I thought is was ironic that 143 is a code for I Love You between my husband and I. When we first got together you needed a code while at work together since it was a big secret at the time so we choose "143" because 1 letter, 4 letters, 3 letters, spelled I love you and here we are 14 years later and still say it to each other. I took it as a sign that this was the challenge for me and made 2 cards from it. On the second card I also used Clean & Simple sketch 276
