LNS Challenge 58

This is my submission for this week's challenge over at Late Night Stampers. This week was simply to use either punches or dies. The inspiration for this card came from a card I saw online some time back. That card was made by Lisa Buesing. So, Lisa, even though I don't know you....thank you! Here's my "recipe" for this card:

Stamp sets: Circle Circus, Sprinkles, Trendy Trees

Cardstock: Melon Mambo, Old Olive, Elegant Eggplant, Whisper White

Ink: Melon Mambo, Elegant Mambo, Old Olive

Other: Melon Mambo Polkadot ribbon, 1" Circle punch, 1 1/4" Circle punch, Word Window punch, Small Oval punch, Large Oval punch, Stampin' Dimensionals

And, just a side note....hopefully over the next few days you will see a whole new look here! The name of my blog changed back in November or December. That was Michelle Laycock's idea! I LOVED it! I have been "in line" for her to make me some graphics since then. She finally got to me and I've "approved" the new graphics. She has sent the graphics on to Heather Wright-Porto for Heather to install them for me. So, now I'm "in line" for Heather. These two girls are SO busy! I heard from Heather just a few days ago and she thought she'd be able to get them installed either this past Friday or Saturday. Well, it's now Sunday but still no new graphics. I am sure Heather is busy so I'll try my best to not bug her but I am so anxious to get the new graphics installed! So, check back often during this next week to see my new look that will match my "new" name - Pawsitively Happy Stampin'!!!!!

LNS Challenge 51

This is my submission for this week's challenge over at Late Night Stampers. Now, unfortunately, I didn't save a picture of the "inspiration" for this week's challenge but it was one of those "designer" cakes. It is really pretty. It was pink and red and white. It had stripes in some places, tiny little flowers, these little round objects, diamonds, and I can't even remember what else it had other than around one of the layers was what looked like a yellow ribbon tied in a bow!!! Now, you can see what I "saw"! All of the other girls on the list saw the pink, red and white! My poor brain must be warped because all I saw was polka dots and the yellow ribbon!!!! OH....go look here - http://www.technostamper.blogspot.com/ and you will see a picture of the cake! That is a link to Mary Jo Price Williams's blog! See all the pink and red? See that TINY bit of yellow? That TINY bit of yellow is what called out to me! My brain really is weird! Anyway, here is what I used to make this card:

Stamps: Circle Circus, Vintage Vogue

Cardstock: Crushed Curry, Old Olive, Whisper White

Ink: Crushed Curry, Old Olive

Other: Movers & Shapers die with the circle die, Scallop Circle punch, 1 3/8" Circle punch, 1" Circle punch, 3/4" Circle punch, Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions folder, Big Shot, sponge, Crushed Curry Polka Dot ribbon

Cards for the Troops #7

Here is another of the cards we sent over to Afghanistan! And, I received word from the Chaplain just this morning that they have received the box of cards I sent! I was SO worried that it would take too long and it would be too late for the men and women to use the Christmas cards! This card was SO simple to make! A tiny bit of die cutting, a little stamping and before you know it, it's DONE! Easy peasy and you could simply change the sentiment and use it for a birthday, anniversary or just about anything! Here is my "recipe" for making this card:

Stamp sets: Circle Circus, Teeny Tiny Wishes, Sanded (background stamp)

Cardstock: Crushed Curry, Whisper White

Ink: Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry, Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie

Other: Top Note die, Big Shot, gold brads, Stampin' Dimensionals
