STAMPlorations Inspiration #231 and a Farewell

Hi Everyone,

its inspiration time at STAMPlorations!
For me this is going to be me last inspiration post - I am stepping down from this wonderful team. I have been with STAMPlorations almost from the beginning and have been watching this company grow and prosper. It was a wonderful experience and I will miss it dearly. However work has made my life difficult and I don't know what the future will hold for me. I simply could not commit to another term.

I wanted to say thank you to Shery Russ the owner and mastermind behind STAMPlorations for all her hard work, for having faith in me, supplying me with those wonderful stamps and letting me be part of this! Extra thanks also to Monika Skinner our hard working blog coordinator!

Thankful for Autumn, Mixed Media Elements

I stamped the pumpkins. Masked them. Smooshed the background. Used some Mixed Media elemnt stamps to color the pumpkins. Trimmed my panel and added a thin strip of black paper. Stamped the sentiment.

And we are celebrating this wonderful occasion with a special blog hop! You may have arrived from the wonderful Giada , our Italian contingent :) HAPPY BIRTHDAY Suzanne! I used the Blowing Butterflies (heat embossed in gold) and the Birthday Wishes to create my card. I cut myself a gold frame from glitter paper and added a water color wash. I opened the frame on the side to have the butterflies and color spill out. Added lots of splatters and the heat embossed sentiment Your next stop on the hop is the talented Henriette - you are going to love her card!

Easter Egg and Bunny

Hi Everyone, I made a bunch of Easter cards, after all its little more than one month and I need to send them out in time... You see, they are all similar - using both the die cut and the negative, that I cut from a die cut egg. The cute bunnies got their yearly appearance - they are from Impression Obsession. the egg is by Lifestyle Crafts. The sentiment is by Papertrey. And here are bigger photos from this set: Linking up with Creative with Stamps - Easter The Paper Players - die cutting Die Cut Divas - animals Happy Little Stampers - anything goes with dies

Addicted to Stamps and More #134 and Spotlight Sneak Peek

Hi Everyone, Its challenge time at ATSM ! For the next two week its going to be CAS - just my thing! And hopefully yours, too! I made a birthday card, because for some reason I always need more and never seem to have enough.... I was inspired by this weeks Make it Monday , where the talented Ashley Newell shows us a video about stamps and doodling. Since I mainly own die cuts from Papertrey and not so many stamps that would fit this theme I made my own out of fun foam, using my latest Papertrey dies (just got the order a few days ago) and cut those in fun foam - it works so well - voila - you have our own stamps, spending only a fraction of the money! I doodled around the stamps as you can see. Gives you kind of a cool effect....a little more tremor and one would think I drank too much ;) Added tiny enamel dots - do you know about this month House of Cards challenge - its enamel dots - thought I'll let you know..... Our wonderful spons...
