Happy 100th Post to me!!

Hi All,

Today is a fun day for me - it's my 100th post on my blog!  Yay!!  To celebrate, I've used this week's sketch from Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge and one of my favourite stamp sets.  Of course, I got my preorder items last week from the new Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue which starts June 2nd and I had to share some of those items.

Seeing as we've made it to another Monday, that means it's another great sketch from Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.  Check out the sketch below.  Also, make sure you head over to the blog and check out the rest of the Design Team creations on Wednesday.  Till then, head over and play along, we would love to have you!!

Here is the sketch:



And here is my creation:




I am absolutely in love with the new Bohemian DSP that will be available on June 2nd - the colours are just amazing.  They are so rich and bold and so much fun!

You'll notice that I embossed the sentiment in white on a basic black card stock and then coloured over the embossing using Blendabilities.  I am super disappointed that these have been discontinued but I understand when there were problems with quality and it is better to discontinue than have a lot of unhappy customers.  I will, however, continue to use mine.  I love them!

This week is "Anything Goes" over at Seize The Birthday, so I will also be entering this card there as well.

Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy Birthday to You!

Hi Everyone,

This is my second post for tonight...wow!

I got the Amazing Birthday stamp set a few weeks ago and it is quickly becoming one of my favourites.  Tonight was the first night that I inked it up but I'm in love with it.  It is so multi dimensional!

I was inspired by this week's sketch over at Create with Connie and Mary and knew I had to play along.  I love playing along with those ladies - they are a super talented bunch!

Amazing Day

Hi Everyone!

Hope you all have had a fabulous weekend!!

Before I get started tonight I wanted to take a moment to say a very special thank you to Kathy over at Stamps At Play.  I woke up yesterday to a very lovely note from her indicating that one of my cards had been one of her Favorite Picks this week.  Thank you Kathy, I am honoured!  Make sure you take a few minutes to drop by Kathy's blog and send her some love - she is super talented.  You can see my card HERE.  And check out Kathy's blog HERE.


I got to spend the evening crafting with some very wonderful ladies again - I am so very lucky.

As always, I was able to be inspired by some wonderful challenge blogs:


This a new blog that I was introduced to this week and what a fun sketch they have to play along with!

I wanted to try to make a more masculine birthday card tonight as I am starting to run low on them.  The colour combination over at Stampin' Royalty was a great one to use.
