Stamping the day away!

I hope you are all having a wonderful Labor Day weekend. We have been hanging out relaxing most of the weekend. As crazy as this may seem, I actually got to spend 8 hours in my stamp room today. I got up this morning, grabbed a Diet Dr. Pepper and hurried off to stamp in my PJ's....next thing I knew it was 3:30. Yikes. Where did the day go? I did manage to get 4 cards made during the 8 hours. I'm a slow crafter. I typically average about 2 hours per card.

For one of my cards today I played along with one of the Taylored Expressions Birthday Bash challenges. The challenge was a color challenge: Bermuda Bay, Melon Mambo & Crushed Curry
For my card I used an Elisabeth Bell stamp from SCACD. I absolutely love this image. The sentiment is from Verve Stamps.
Supplies used: Elisabeth Bell stamp from SCACD, Sentiment stamp from Verve Stamps, SU DP, SU CS, SU Dazzling Diamonds glitter, Copic markers, EK Success border punch, Amuse ribbon, foam dimensionals.

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you are all having a great day! Be sure to check back in tomorrow for another fun Little Paper Shop Monday challenge!

Trying to find my mojo...

Paper Pretties has a sketch challenge posted on their blog this week so in an effort to reclaim my mojo I decided to try it out.

Here is the sketch:

Here is my card (I flipped the sketch to work with my image):Isn't Cuddle Me Sophia just adorable. My heart melts every time I see this image. I just ordered a couple more Sophia stamps yesterday and I can't wait for them to get here! Paper Pretties is having an awesome sale, check it out HERE.

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you are all having a great week!

Mojo on vacation!

You may have noticed that I haven't posted much lately. With the stress of Annabelle starting kindergarten and trying to get everything ready for that, my mojo seems to have jumped ship. I've tried stamping a couple times in the past few weeks and I just haven't been able to put anything together. I'll be leaving a trail of glitter in hopes that my mojo finds it and follows the way home ASAP. While we're waiting I have a card I made a while ago for one of the Paper Makeup Stamps Monday challenges.

Hope you all had a great day!

WooHoo!

Have you seen the new Just Cards! Holidays! issue? I just got mine in the mail yesterday.
Recognize that bottom card? It's mine!!!! I can't tell you how excited I was to see my card on the cover of the magazine.

Here is the card: all stamps are from DRS Designs

I also have another card in this issue made with stamps from Firecracker Designs.

I hope you all have a fabulous day! Thanks for stopping by!
