Summer Sweetness

Hi All!

It's another hot, hot, hot day here so we've been swimming and hiding out in the A/C! Hope you're all staying cool!

This is a quick card I made in honor of this perfect summer day. I'm not a huge fan of eating watermelon, but I do like this stamp!

Have a great Tuesday! Happy Stamping! :)

Images Close To My Heart, Supplies Stampin' Up!

Wild Chocolate!

Happy Monday!

I was feeling like chocolate today, but of course we didn't have any in the house, so I had to settle for chocolate paper! Not as tasty, but still yummy!

I made this card using more of my Close To My Heart stamps. Seeing as I have to wait until August for new Stampin' Up! stuff, I went and splurged on some other new things instead. I used Emily's sketch from a previous STAMP SOMETHING challenge, love this layout.

The papers are Chocolate Chip, Close to Cocoa, and Creamy Caramel. I stamped the bear in Staz-On ink on watercolor paper and watercolored him with markers. I added a piece of wide Chocolate Chip grosgrain ribbon and made a tag for the sentiment.

Thanks for looking! Hope your week is off to a good start. Happy Stamping! :)

All images are Close To My Heart. All other supplies are Stampin' Up!

Dazzling Somethings!

Happy Friday and 4th of July!

Hope you all have a marvelous holiday and a great weekend!

Today, over at STAMP SOMETHING, our challenge is all that "dazzles, sparkles, shimmers, and shines!" Make us a project that brings on the bling!

My card is pretty simple! I haven't had a lot of time this week for stamping because we are on vacation.

I just got some new stamps from Close To My Heart. I know, big time cheating on Stampin' Up!, but these were so cute that I had to have them! I started with Sahara Sand, layered on Soft Sky, and then used Mellow Moss and Ivory cardstock for the image. My bling is two strips of sticky tape with glitter and crystal effects with glitter on the flowers. The sentiment is from the same new stamp set and it's been framed with a styled silver piece of hodgepodge. (all products except stamps are Stampin' Up!)

Thanks for taking a look! Enjoy the weekend, hope you all have great BBQs and get to see lots of fireworks.

Hop on over to STAMP SOMETHING and check out the dazzling design team samples, then dazzle us with your creations! Happy Stamping! :)
