RHSSC - Field Flower...again!

It's Sunday so it's time for another Red Hot Stampers' sketch challenge card.  Yup, I used the same colors I've been using for the past week just like I said I would since there was not a lot of time and no space left on my craft table to get out new colors!  Tomorrow I'll start posting some of the swaps I got at convention this weekend.  And now don't forget to check out what the other Red Hot Stampers made for this week's sketch challenge HERE.



Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Whoo is getting married?!

Well, today's card is definitely not my norm, but I needed to whip up something for my daughter's friend who is getting married today...and I can't even be there!  And since she loves owls I had to make them on her card. :)  I wish them many years of happiness together.!

Convention Swaps

Today I am in Salt Lake City, Utah for my first Stampin' Up! convention so I thought I'd show you the cards I made to swap.  All I can say is I was crazy to make this card!  When I made regional cards I was able to whip up 30 cards in 2 1/2 hours, but not this time!  Too many steps, but once I come up with an idea that I like there's no changing my mind.  So here's my stack...


And one up close in the pile.

Pillow Gifts for Convention

I sure don't know how some ladies can post on their blogs everyday.  All I know is they are a LOT better than me!  Anyway, today's post is all about pillow gifts for convention because that's where I'm headed! :)  I put together four 3x3 cards with envelopes and some Ghirardelli chocolates for everyone.  Do you remember on Sunday I said you'd see a lot of the stamp set Field Flowers this week?  I wasn't kidding...and you'll still be seeing more.  At least today's cards use the new in colors. :)

RHSSC 97 - Field Flowers

Well, it's a good thing it's Sunday and time for another Red Hot Stampers' sketch challenge or I might not be posting on here...kind of like this past week.  I should have a few things this coming week since I've been working on gifts for the ladies I'll be staying with at convention this week. :)  I've also been working away at my swap cards.  I came up with something I liked with way too many steps, but that's what I'm doing anyway because I like it! :)  One reason I mentioned all of this is because a lot of posts are going to involve this stamp set and most of them will be this color.  Why?  Because that's what's all over my craft table so I figured that's what I would use. :)  So here it today's card which I must say was challenging for me!  Don't forget to check out what the other Red Hot Stampers made on their blog HERE.

RHSSC - Wetlands Sunset

It's Sunday so that means it's time for another Red Hot Stampers' sketch challenge card.  I made this card special for a stamping friend's birthday who seems to craft a lot for her grand children making special things for class parties.  She makes crafts for others and has opened her home so others can craft too. :) I hope she had a great birthday!


Even though I've done a lot of sponging lately I couldn't resist doing a little more. :)  Don't forget to see what the other Red Hot Stampers made using this same sketch.  Check them out HERE.

Celebrate Today!

Happy 4th of July!  And Happy Birthday to a stamping friend of mine whose b-day happens to be today.  She makes hundreds of cards for others, so I think she deserves one on her special day too.  I wonder if one of these years I should make her a normal every day card instead of one that's red, white and blue?  We'll see next year, but for this year I used the Paper Craft Crew sketch challenge #49 HERE to help come up with her card.
