Inspiration Comes From Anywhere

Inspiration comes from all places.  In addition to stamping, I love Vera Bradley bags and accessories.  I have my two daughters to thank for this obsession.  

Stamps: Simple Stems, Bring on The Cake
Cardstock:  Basic Black, Basic Gray, Whisper White, Crushed Curry
Ink:  Crushed Curry, Basic Gray,  Black Stazon

This birthday card, which we are making at stamp class tonight came about when looking at one of my favorite pattern . . .  Go Wild, which is here in one of my favorite scarves.

It is hard to believe that it is the last week of February.  Usually February really drags for me even though it is a short month, but this year it just flew by!!!

Spring is just around the corner!!

Have a great day!!!

Perfect Life

I don't think anyone would say that another snowstorm and weather advisory would be perfect, but that doesn't mean that it can't be wonderful . . . we just have to look at it another way.  Use the time you are stuck indoors to do something you truly enjoy.

 

Stamps:  Perfect Pennants
Cardstock:  Soft Suede, So Saffron, Very Vanilla,  Retro Fresh DSP
Ink:  Soft Suede
Accessories:  Retro Fresh Washi Tape, Fringe Scissors

I am off to my stamp room (which is clean right now) to spend the day working doing what I love.

Have a great day!!

Happy Watercolor

I love the new stamp set, Happy Watercolor, and the black and daffodil make me think of spring!  It can't come soon enough!!!!

Stamps:  Happy Watercolor
Cardstock:  Basic Black, Daffodil Delight, Whisper White
Ink:  Daffodil Delight, Black Stazon
Accessories:  Delicate Designs Embossing Folder, Big Shot, Daffodil Delight Seam Binding

One of the upsides to only having one vehicle and bad weather is that I have had a lot of time to spend in my stamp room and I am happy to say that other then trying to tame my ribbon, everything else has been cleaned, purged, and reorganized.  There is now space for everything and you can actually walk and work in the room.  Hopefully it can stay that way for a while!!

Have a great day!!

Perfect Life

This stamp set was a must have when I saw this saying….I guess it fits with my rose colored glasses.  

Stamps:  Hearts a Flutter, Perfect Pennants
Cardstock:  Real Red, Basic Black, Whisper White, Gold Foil
Ink:  Real Red, Black Stazon
Accessories:  Small Heart Punch, Stampin' Dimensionals

I am  not sure I am ready for more snow . . . but it is going to come whether I want it to or not!!!  It just means that it will not be desirable to get out and go anywhere, so I guess that means I must play in my stamp room.  

Have a great day!!

Peachy Keen

"Peachy" has always been one of my favorite sayings when someone asks how I am so when I saw the Peachy Keen stamp set in the Occasions catalog it was a "must have." Here is one of the cards that Hanna and I took to a demonstrator meeting last week.  As Hanna says . . . "Mom, this is the first card that I have designed that you haven;t had to change in some way"  She is right.   I loved it just the way she designed it.

Stamps:  Peachy Keen
Cardstock:  Basic Black, Very Vanilla, Gold Foil Sheets
Ink:  Versamark
Accessories:  On Film Framelits, Big Shot, Gold Embossing Powder,  Heat Tool,
Watercolor Wonder Washi Tape, Very Vintage Designer Buttons,  Gold Baker's Twine,
Stampin' Dimensionals

Today will be spent gutting ready for the Superbowl/Sale-a-Bration Open House tomorrow afternoon. Even though it is snowing as I type, I think the weather should hold for tomorrow!!

Have a great day!
