Good Morning everyone!!! We have had a wild week around here....we kept three grandchildren all week. My DIL needed to make a trip to see her mother and since my DS had to leave for work at 6:00 AM, we decided it would be better for the kids if they stayed here and we got them ready for school. The two year old ran the house while the others were in school!!! Anyway...they went home last night and I got up to a real quiet house this morning!!! It felt good to get my fingers inky again!!!
The Featured Stamper this week on Splitcoast is Darlene (akronstamperdpk)..... I have long been a fan of hers and have found lots of inspiration from her fabulous gallery!!! Congrats, Darlene!!!! I chose to case her Polka Dot Sympathy card.
I kept the same basic layout and colors but changed the
stamps, Nesties shape, papers, added the bow, pearls, and butterfly. The Clear Dollar Stamps Church Chatter sentiment was stamped on the Kaiser Craft dp and the Martha Stewart punched butterfly was made using the same dp. Congrats
again, Darlene....enjoy your special day!!!!
Recipe:
Stamps: Clear Dollar Stamps Church Chatter
Paper: Pink Pirouette, Black, Kaiser Craft dp
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Accessories: Martha Stewart Scallop Punch, Martha Stewart Butterfly Punch, Nestabilities, Ribbon, Pearls, Dimensionals
I made this Thursday for the Ways to Use it Challenge on Splitcoast. Julia challenged us to make
I have had these Vintage looking envelopes for years just sitting in a drawer...I knew I would need them one day! The paper lace from an old sachet packet was taped onto the bashful blue
cs and the image from the envie was cutout and attached with dimensionals. The sentiment from Clear Dollar Stamps Church Chatter set was stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa. The beautiful old crocheted flower was a gift from my friend Joanne (sleepyinseattle)...thanks again, Joanne :)!!! The gathered May Arts Ribbon, buttons, and stick pin finish it off.
Thanks for stopping by today...hope your Sunday is super special!!!!
