I have spent most of the weekend helping my Mom with a Memory Quilt, but I loved Dawn's sketch so much I just had to take a break and make something with it. I hope you'll play along, just head on over to the PMS Blog and add your challenge entry to "Mister Blinky". As I attach this sketch I realize that when I looked at it for my card, the bottom of it was cut off, thus my image at the bottom instead of in the middle. He he, oh well.... creative license, right?!? Hope you are having a wonderful start to your week!
Supplies:
Stamps: Argus with Teddy (Paper Makeup Stamps)
Paper: SEI dsp, Basic Black, Whisper White and Taken with Teal cardstocks
Ink: Momento Tuxedo Black, Copics
Accessories: White Organza ribbon (by SU!), circle nestabilities, paper piercer

** This post will remain at the top of my blog until April 26th**
PMS Blog Candy!!! I messed up when I order (duh, me!!), so I thought I'd give these away as Blog Candy instead of returning them. These two super cute stamps are from Paper Makeup Stamps, the Elephant comes with his sentiment "A Ton of love for you", and Jashen is the sweet little boy sleeping in the clouds! Both of these are from the April release. FOr a chance at this candy all you have to do is leave me a comment (and if you wanna subscribe to my blog that'd be great but don't forget to leave a comment on this post too), AND post about the giveaway on your blog. All of this should be done by midnight (Pacific time) Sunday, April 26th. I will announce the winner on Monday. Hope you having a wonderful weekend with some quality stamp time!

This week's PMS Monday Challenge was a color challenge... Cameo Coral, Old Olive, Summer Sun and Kraft. For some reason the color "kraft" just instantly causes a mental block for me, lol. Sorry I am posting this so late, I really hope to get back into a stamping groove and get back to posting this week.
Whenever I color an image I haven't colored before I always have to do a "pretend" color job just to see what it looks like. Well this image was my "pretend" one, I didn't put effort into blending, etc. Once I put the card together I looked at the image again and kinda liked the "effect" the coloring left, he looked kinda furry like a stuffed animal, so I left it as is. Tomorrow is a new PMS Monday Challenge... hope to see ya tomorrow!
Supplies:
Stamps: Argus with Teddy by Paper Makeup Stamps
Paper: Pink Flamino DSP, Basic Black, Cameo Coral and Kraft cardstocks (all papers by Stampin' Up!)
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Copics
Accessories: Lace punch by Stampin Up, misc flower, Top Notes die from Stampin Up

Hehehe, you thought I fell off the face of the earth, huh? My poor little baby boy has been so sick and he is sooooooooo clingy to mommy! He's getting better, though still needy, lol. I haven't stamped in sooo long and it feels so good to be stamping again. I met such a great group of ladies on SCS who all live locally and we get together once a month to stamp. Tonight our task was to make a Monochromatic card for our shoebox swap. This is what I came up with..
I think I like the outcome. Monochrome cards take a little more thought for me, but they are easy enough. Two things that you cannot see so well on the picture, but made a big difference IRL were 1) I used VersaMark and stamped the gears image on the sentiment piece, and 2) I punched out the smaller clock piece and attached it directly to the card base (the main image is popped up with dimensionals). Thanks for stopping by, later this week I'll have some PMS blog candy up for grabs!!
Supplies (all supplies are Stampin' Up! except as noted)
Stamps: Sense of Time
Paper: Brocade Blue, Night of Navy and Very Vanilla cardstocks
Ink: Brocade Blue, NIght of Navy and VersaMark
Accessories: Brocade Blue ribbon, circle nesties, Top Notes die, Blue brad

Happy Friday!!!! I {heart} Friday's! This week's challenge was a sketch. This was a very simple and easy card. I actually got it done last night, and as soon as it was all done, and the last touch added, I decided I needed to take it apart and make some changes :(. Oh well, being early is overrated anyway, lol! I don't know about you, but I LOVE Stampin' Up! Designer Papers!!! One of the things though, is that while it looks "nice" in the catalog, once you get it and look at it up close it becomes "OMG, this is sooooooo pretty!!!" I may or may not have ordered this paper at some point, but one of my OSF's, Mae Wiser, sends me an email that says "I HAVE TO HAVE THIS" she included the link of a card she'd seen made with it...it was beautiful! Now I'm wondering why I didn't get this beautiful paper before now! Thanks Mae, for being such an enabler! ;-) Well I'm so glad you stopped by, hope to see you again soon! Have a wonderful weekend! This was the sketch... thanks Lisa!
Supplies (all supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted):
Stamps: Dreams du Jour
Ink: Chocolate Chip, markers
Paper: Parisian Breeze Specialty dsp, Baja Breeze, Whisper White, Kraft cardstocks
Accessories: Eyelet border punch, 5/8" White Satin ribbon from the Occassions Mini, dimensionals (all SU), Misc pearls (not SU), circle nesties

...a pink and pretty basket! Hehehe, this week's challenge onthe PMS blog was to create an Easter Basket of any kind. Well, finally, here is mine and my apologies that it is empty! I followed the tutorial from this week's Weekly Inkling newsletter from SCS to make the basket. Can I just say that this whole basket is made with just 1 (yes, one) piece of 12x12 cardstock?? You actually have about a 1/8" strip leftover at the end...that just cracks me up!! I made my ribbon handles a little longer than the instructions, but I think I could have gone a little lonnger still. Jaina actually is a little sparkly with some Spica pens, but to get the right angles on the basket, flowers, etc. I didn't capture the glitter. Happy hump day, I hope you are having a wonderful week! I have been just exhausted lately, but I'm hoping to get inky again tomorrow :) Hope to see you back here again soon.
Supplies:
Stamps: Jaina by Paper Makeup Stamps
Paper: Regal Rose textured cardstock and Whisper White
Ink: Brilliance Graphite Black, Colorbox Chalk in Chestbut Roan, Copic Markers
Accessories: Flowers are by Making Memories, Brads are by Making Memories and (I forgot), brads along the rim are by Stampin' Up as is the Chocolate Chip stitched ribbon, Spica glitter pens in Lemon and clear
