My surprise

Good morning stampers. In my last post I said that I had a big surprise for today. Well Sunday Stamp, a blog that I have been following and posting to asked me to be a guest designer.Yey!!!  This is the first blog that has noticed my work so thanks for the opportunity.I had a lot of ideas that popped into my head and all of them were while I was somewhere else. When I got home and tried to work it out on paper they were gone. So now I have started keeping my sketch book with me. Here is the design challenge sketch and the card I came up with.

I used a new stamp set that I got from Stampin Up. I even tried make it a card using only stamping up but the die is from spellbinders. The card stock and ribbon are all Stampin Up. I have never order ribbon from Stampin Up so I thought since they were running a special I would try it out I think I might be hooked. Well that's all or now. I plan to do a card using some new products from Papertrey Ink later on today I will post what I come up with afterwards.

Have a Great Day

Another Challenge post

Hello stampers back again with a quick post. I decided to add a card to Sunday Stamp challenge.This is a stamp set that I got a while back from stampin up. The challenge was to use the colors, pool party, melon mambo and black. I also used a stamp set that I got from Simon says stamp in the center of the flower. When I stamped the flower I stamped off on a piece of paper first so the flower would be lighter and you would be able to read the the stamp that is in the middle. The melon mambo was cut using a framelit from Stampin Up and the black one was cut using one of my nestabilities. For the base of the card I added texture using an embossing folder from Stampin Up.

I'm glad you stopped by to take a peek so check back on Sunday and I will have a surprise that I am truly excited about.
