TSOT Autumn in the Air

Today is Try Stampin' on Tuesday's sketch challenge.  I whipped up a card and was happy with it until I realized I forgot to check out the theme!  My card was suited more for winter than for autumn in the air!  So I went back to the drawing board.  I just could NOT come up with something that had those dots!  Well I made them stars on my first card, so I decided to do the same with my second card.  I've been seeing a lot of orange, black and purple cards out there for Halloween too so I decided to go with that color theme for my card and sponge the colors on, then add the stars in the night sky using a gel pen.  As you can see I also rotated this card.  My other one is vertical and I'll have to show it to you some other time this week. :)

Don't forget to check out what the design team made using this sketch at Try Stampin' On Tuesday HERE.  If you're game give it a try and show us what you've made too. :)

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Pink Birthday Wallet

Just another quick post for you today...a wallet.  A pink wallet at that!  My daughter is a nanny for a couple of kids and she requested that I make a birthday wallet for the girl that she watches.  So being the wonderful mom that I am ;) I made if for her.  

I even made a fake credit card, driver's license and library card.  This time I didn't have to put the money in it though! lol

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Birthday Poppies

It's Sunday so that means it's time for another Red Hot Stampers sketch challenge card!  I must say I feel carded out lately and went with something pretty simple.  I used the aqua painter brush and colored in my flowers.  That was the only part that took a little bit of time.  Don't forget to check out what the other Red Hot Stampers made using this same sketch.  Check them out HERE. :)

Dress Up

Another quick post today of one of my September stamp a stack cards.  I've had the Dress Up framelit for a while now and decided it was about time I used it.  I usually see the dress cut out with some sort of DSP which I don't have!  Gasp!  I know, I just never buy it.  So instead I went with classic black and white and used the stamp set Creative Elements for the design on the dress.

Express Yourself Birthday

This is another one of my September stamp a stack cards. Yes, I used a retired set again, but it's my all time favorite fall set.  I sponged all of the color onto the stamps instead of putting the stamp directly on the ink pad.  It blends the colors together well and doesn't make it quite as dark.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Perfect Pansies for Summer's Last Hoorah!

Summer's last hoorah!  That's today's Try Stampin' on Tuesday's theme that goes along with their sketch challenge.  One of the things I think of when I'm thinking about summer is all the flowers that I get to enjoy.  My pansies tend to last quite a while after the other flowers have frozen and died because they do like cooler temperatures.  That's why I picked them to put on my card.  Earlier this month I posted a card that had pansies made the same way as I made these.  I love the new pansy punch, but wanted my flowers to have a little dimension like the real flowers do so I cut the petals out and did some sponging to come up with these flowers. 

I thought I'd do a little extra on the inside this time too. :)  Don't forget to see what the other designers made over at Try Stampin' on Tuesday HERE.
