Hello everyone!! I hope you are having a great weekend!!! My DH went to a fishing tournament today so I am forced to stay home and stamp....yeaaaaaa!!!The Inspiration Challenge on Splitcoast today is to find inspiration from Lang Calendars. I chose to case this Scripture calendar picture. The two things that really caught my eye were the color combo and the beautiful Scripture. Last week my DD Holly (hbrown) brought back some stamps she had borrowed and gave me some samples of what she had been working on. This top note with the Echoes of Kindness images was one of them. I used her top note today and glammed it up a bit with some ribbon, felt butterfly, prima, and felt button from Taylored Expressions (I just love Taylor's store!!!). Boy was that easy!! I could get real used to this...I wonder what else she has in her stash (insert evil grin!!)
The close up shows the wonderfully inspirational sentiment. Holly sure did a fabulous job of stamping that top note.....she has such an eye for design!!! Do I sound like a proud Mama???

Friday's Limited Supply Challenge and the Weekly Double Dare Challenge
I made this card yesterday for the LSC 204 Challenge on Splitcoast. The challenge was to use a black card base so that we have a very bold, black expanse.
I also combined this challenge with the Double Dare Challenge hosted this week by Michelle (sf9erfan) to case a card from the old SU catty and change at least to things...one last look at the old one before we place it on the shelf. I decided to case the Christmas card on page 39. I kept the same layout but changed the theme, colors, papers, and stamps. The Rubbernecker Stamp Oasis Hearts and sentiment were stamped on Regal Rose cs with Craft Black and embossed with clear ep. The dp is from Glitz Design and the velvet crinkle ribbon came from a booth at the Canton, Tx Trade Days.
The Double Dare girls would like to invite you to join along in our weekly challenges! Just create a card or project using the Double Dare challenge instructions listed above and post it in your SCS gallery. Please be sure to use the keyword DDC when you post so we can all find your card. There is no time limit for posting your card and a new challenge is issued each Tuesday. You can find the other DDC cards here. So come along and join in with us!! We can't wait to see what you create!
Have a wonderful day and Happy Saturday Stamping!!
