Sorry for the quick post but I'm late and will need to come back and fill in more info later today......Broke Stampers Unite color challenge this week. Can you guess what colors they are??? Lol I'll leave it a mystery until this afternoon.  I even had my card ready early but got involved with the Playoffs for Basketball and forgot to write my post!!! Ugh!

Alright well I have made it to work and back and had some lunch so now for the real post LOL.....

This weeks post is color challenge and the colors we chose were... Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Old Olive, Blushing Bride and Melon Mango.

I started with a base of crumb cake and layered a piece of Very Vanilla card stock...I then pulled out my trusty Work Of Art stamp set and stamped the three colors, MM, OO, BB using the heart and fussy cut those guys out. I then stamped the three arches in the same colors and added the heart cut outs with some dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment in Crumb Cake and added a (retired) Melon Mambo double loop bow. (it's my new fav way of making bows)

Have to admit these colors were interesting to work with, but really came together nicely.

Now.....hop on over to Terri's Blog HERE and Stace's Blog HERE
Then check our Facebook Page HERE and enter your take on this weeks challenge. We would love to see what you make and please do share!

That's all for this week.....be sure to stop by again next week when we'll be featuring a stamp set......! Have a great week!

Sunday and WCMD

Good Sunday to you. Hope your weekend is going well. Yesterday I almost forgot that is was World Card Making Day. What was I thinking??? Anyway I jumped in and made some cards even though I was feeling very challenged...  Lol. 

With this ca d I started with a base of Soft Suede and with some Whisper White I stamped some images from the Work Of Art stamp set. I used Pink Pirouette, Pool Party, So Saffron and Calypso Coral.  I cut out the butterfly with the thinlits in gold foil paper and glued it on the front. I then took some gold sequin ribbon and gently pulled the sequins to use as an all over embellishment. 

This is not at all what this card started out to be but its funny how well it just takes you where you should go. It was supposed to be a note card and a CASE from Pinterest but, it just took on its own life.  Hahaha 

Hope you are able to squeeze in some stamping time today. I'm still going to continue to celebrate WCMD and try to get a jump on my week. Take care everyone and Thank You for visiting.

Daily Post Challenge

Well today's post has kind of a funny story to it. I spent the day getting ready for a different challenge. Tried real hard to come up with a card using a specific technique. Got it done....wasn't very happy with it but it will do. Moved on. Completely ended up accidentally making a card with that technique while trying to come up with today's card. Hahahaha ugh now I have to make yet another card because I can't reveal that technique yet. So by this time I'm distracted by other things. So today's post is just a cute lil note card. Nothing fancy just simple small and pretty. But it's a post right??? This daily posting can get tough. But it's been fun and it keeps me stamping as well as looking ahead to my next card. Hope you enjoy your Sunday. I'm off to work for a few hours then it will be a relaxing day for me. Thinking about trying last weeks Mojo Monday challenge. For tomorrow. Hmm Have a great Sunday!

Work of Art stamp set

I have a strange relationship with this stamp set. LOL I look about for inspiration and to see what others are doing with these stamps and I'm amazed. The creativity is mind blowing. But when I sit down to put this set to ink I draw a complete blank and I end up forcing myself to make "something" LOL I end up casing someone else's idea. Two of these were cased  one wasn't, I won't reveal which. Hoping someday this set will talk to me! Until then.....this is what I got! ;)

Burger Box

I would like to start off by saying I LOVE MY CRICUT EXPLORE!! That said....here is a little box I made from a template that I uploaded into design space and cleaned up then cut with my Explore!!
I used pink pirouette card stock from Stampin'Up!, silver ribbon (also from Stampin'Up! ) along with the Work of Art stamp set for the sentiment and background. Jolee's stickers for embellishments. Such a cute little treat box. And because I used my Explore I can easily change the size of the box to suit my needs!!
