Challenge Combinations


The Three Amigas are having another virtual stamping challenge and you are welcome to join us. Julie would like you to use something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue.
Sharon challenged us to make a quilted card, the how to can be found in the Splitcoast Resources tutorial section.My challenge is to make an Easter treat holder of any kind. I will get my samples up as soon as I can. I think my "borrowed" item for this card was time. I was supposed to be painting the Rec Room but made a card instead.
This is also for today's challenge to use flowers and for this week's sketch.
All supplies are Stampin' Up: Greenhouse Gala paper with Baja, Saffron, and Soft Suede cardstocks, half pearls, Boho Blossoms punch, markers and pastels, Baja seam binding ribbon.

For today's color challenge of Marina Mist, Baja, and Celery and the Mojo Monday sketch.

Oldies But Goodies Blog Hop




I hope you can join us on our Design Divas hop today! We will revisit some of our oldies but goodies. I'm sure we all have some of those treasures we will never part with!
I used a retired Stampin' Up set called Close To Nature. I kept it simple, embossing the white cardstock with the Bella Toile background stamp and a Happy Birthday sentiment with some silver hardware. All supplies are SU.

You should have arrived here from Maria's blog.
Your next stop will be to see what Karen has made for you today. Enjoy the hop!

Springtime Smiles



All supplies are Stampin' Up. I combined the sentiment, egg, and flourish from the Easter Blossoms set and the Day Of Gratitude medallion for this clean and simple card for today's Featured Stamper Challenge over at SCS. (For Mary Beth- mbrcutie25)
I really like to find ways to make each set versatile for year round use and both of these seasonal sets would work for that.

My second pic is the clown that we made at our cake decorating class yesterday. Mainly we were working on roses which I think I may need to keep practicing. A lot. Sorry I didn't get the picture of the clown before my guys tore into the cake.
