Orchid for color challenge.

Well, I can't believe I had never inked this stamp up, thought I had! Maybe I did and then didn't finish the card, lol. Anyways, this was for Theresa's color challenge on StampTV.com from last week. Here is the card:



When I first saw the colors I cringed, lol! But after getting them out and looking at them, I really like them. I actually love purple, don't know why I dont use it more..yes I do, I have nothing purple to embellish with, lol! No ribbon, brads...nada! I need to change that...

Hope you have a wonderfully creative week! Thanks for stopping by, grandson gonna be here in a bit so I hurrying! Thanks for stopping by!

Robeez inspried cards

I made these two cards for the CAS challenge and the sketch challenge at StampTV.com last week. Both cards were inspired from this:

Robeez Shoes!

Here is the first one I did:



See that yummy dark chocolate base cardstock? That came in the Floral Frenzy kit from Gina K Designs. I really love the weight of this paper and this rich deep color. It probably looks black on here, but its not, lol! Here is the other card I made:



This was also inspired from the shoes, and also a sketch challenge at StampTV AND the CAS challenge this week at SCS, to use punches on our cards. I really enjoy doing CAS cards sometimes, and then when you have a sketch challenge and inspiration piece, well, doesnt take much thinking at all! LOL!

Hope you are having a wonderful relaxed Sunday! It has been beautiful today here in TX, still a bit chilly, but at least not storming or raining! Thanks for stopping by!

LOOK!! *doing happy dance*

I got my camera back! yay! Well, actually not the one I had, they had to give me another one after MUCH ummm discussion with the manager of Best Buy, lol! Anyways, here is one of the cards I did this past week, it was for the color challenge and sketch challenge from last week at SCS, (Riding Hood Red, Summer Sun and Kraft, with black as optional). So I pulled out this old stamp (it says 'Stamp Happens, Inc. on the side of the wood block):



This is one of my favorite wood block stamps and I know I have done a card with it before, but this one looks much better I think, lol! Love those colors together, so bright and fun! And the bees look like they so happy and so am I since I have my camera back now, lol!

Ok, off to upload some more. Will be posting another later!
