We have another great sketch for you this week on the Try Stamping on Tuesday blog!  Hope you will find time to play along.  Here is my card for this week's sketch...

I used the Summer Silhouettes stamp set with Tangerine Tango and Crisp Cantaloupe and Pistachio Pudding!

I love the giant button but it does make the card pretty stinkin heavy--not a card you would be able to sent with normal postage on it, lol!  


here is this week's sketch....


Have a great day!

I am so excited to let you all know that I finally did another tutorial.  I have had so many of you asking for more! The one tutorial everyone seems to ask for the most is another One Sheet Wonder so I did another one of those for you!  I hope you like it.  This tutorial will walk you though--step by step--on how to make 9 cards and a two page 6 by 6 scrapbook spread!  The colors and layouts are terrific!  And it is using my new FAVORITE stamp set--Summer Silhouettes!

Believe me you are going to love this!  So easy and fun--and don't forget once you have the template you can use it again and again!  Just change out the papers and colors and it will be entirely different!

Yep, I am still going with this set and more left over pieces from Christmas cards.  Here is another one using the same colors as the one yesterday. 

Again the colors don't look true--Kraft, Real Red, Lucky Limeade and Whisper White.  Only extras are the Lucky Limeade ribbon and rhinestones.  And of course the stamp set is Summer Silhouettes!

Quick post for today!
Thanks for stopping by.

I know it is the middle of winter and Valentine's day is coming soon--so you would think my cards would reflect those--but NO!  I am so addicted to this set.  I decided to use some scrape from left over pieces of cards from Christmas and see if I could re-use the parts to make something with this set.  I am so done with Christmas cards so I had to do something with these leftovers!

Not sure why I can not get these colors to look like they should--these are kraft, real read and lucky limeade.  Such a simple yet pretty card, don't you think?   Kept it really basic--just added some rhinestones and butterlies from the embosslet! 

Happy today!

Hope your new year finds you with lots of time for stamping and creating!

Yea, the sun is shinning and I am ready to start a brand new week!  Or course I always start my week out with my new sketch challenge.  If you are new to my blog or just visiting for a moment please check out the sketch challenge.  A new sketch is posted each week on Mondays but you have the full week to play along!  And it is a blog hop too!  That means if you add the code to your blog while you are in the edit HTML mode your readers can play along and view the samples right from YOUR blog!  Hope you have time to play this week!  Here is the sketch....

Pretty simple one this week!  I actually have two samples for you.  They are both using the sketch, both using the same colors and both using the same stamps but they look so different because of the flip of the sketch.  So fun how that works. Which one do you like better???



Funny that I wasn't sure I wanted this set when I seen it but after so many of my customers bought it I gave it a second look.  Yep!  I want it now--the cards for today challenge are done with my friend Joanie's stamp set.  Thanks Joanie!  Now I have to get my own.  Pretty bad when you are enabled by your customers/friends!

Both cards are using the Summer Silhouettes.  The sentiment on the first card is from the Blooming with Kindness and the sentiment on the second card is from a retired set of rub ons.  They both use Lucky Limeade, Rich Razzleberry, Tangerine Tango and Whisper White

SO, which do you like best?

Can't wait to see your creation with this sketch--hurry up and get stamping!  Them come on back and add your samples below!
