Bookmark...Thanks Pinterest!

I'm not a big color-er...does that make sense?  I usually buy stamps you don't have to color in.  But Stampin' Up! now offers a new product called "Blendabilities".  They are alcohol based markers that come in a 3 pack of the same color....light, medium and dark.  Here is my coloring on these bookmarks.  I was inspired by a pin I saw by "Create with Kaitlyn".  I did change it up a little and added a bit of me on it.



Happy Stamping,

Kinda Eclectic Inspired

 I've been working with this set for several weeks now.  I was chosen to be a Display Stamper at the Stampin' Up! Convention this year.  I was a bit scared of it at first since the images are so different.  But I really fell in love with the set after using it.  Here is a card that we made at my last class.  It just so happens to be inspired by the photos for the Stampin' Celebration Challenge Blog.


The colors used are Blackberry Bliss, Mossy Meadow, Lost Lagoon and lots of Gold sparkle with the vellum and the sequins.  

Join us at Stampin' Celebration!  Check out some totally AWESOME stuff by the other DT too!!

In Color Thank You

The new In Colors are really growing on me!!  I got to play with them a lot over the past couple months.  I was selected to be a Display Stamper and I got to use a bunch of new FABULOUS products.  I am SO EXCITED to show them to you!!

This card is made for the color challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments.  They are Hello Honey, Lost Lagoon and Tangelo Twist.  I used the new set called Work of Art.  I painted the chevrons on the stamp with the markers and stamped it once, re-inked, then stamped a second row.  Then using Early Espresso I stamped the greetings.


Hop on over to Hand Stamped Sentiments and join us this week!!  Plus, you will LOVE the other DT's projects!  Be inspired friends!!

I Have A Silly Kid!

It's been a while since I've done anything with MDS for a challenge.  When I saw the sketch for this weeks challenge at Stampin' Celebration....I knew it was perfect!
My littlest dude LOVES to make faces.  He always jumps in front of the camera when I'm trying to take pictures of my cards and such.  Here is one of those photo shoots.


I used the Designer Paper Kit for MDS called Summer Possibilities.  I added a few embellishments and punches with MDS and there you go....

Now it's your turn!  Here is the sketch.  I hope you will join us at Stampin' Celebration


Happy Stamping,

Pink Flamingo In My Front Yard

 Okay...so I don't have Pink Flamingos in my front yard...sounds like a country song....but I do have one on my card for this week's challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments.  

This is from the brand new set called "Flamingo Lingo"...it's the Ronald McDonald House set.  Buy it and Stampin' Up! will donate money to RMcDH.  It's so cute, right?!
