Splashes of Watercolor

Yeah!  It’s time for the very first Color Throwdown of 2010!!  Can you believe another year has come and gone?? We’re also celebrating because we have a brand new CTD designer!!  She’s so cool and so talented and I bet you already know her….Kristin Bueter!!  And for her initiation, we’ve asked her to start the […]

Hey, everyone!  Today is day 2 of the Valentine release sneak peeks for Our Craft Lounge.  I’m showing you a peek at Granny’s Truffles.  Everybody loves Granny! I’ve used the MOJO113 sketch, which worked perfectly for Granny and her chocolate heart sentiment.  And this also fits the Splitcoast Monday TLC247 for cutting “Outside the Box” […]

I hope you all will be spending your Valentine’s Day with the ones you love!  I hope to be spending most of the day in my stamp room! I didn’t get a chance to post this for last Thursday’s  Ways to Use it challenge – Embellishment pile-up (WT204).  So what better time than now, on […]

After spending 5 hours cleaning out my closet (Whew!), I needed a break!  So I decided to check out the Featured Stamper challenge at SCS.  Today’s challenge FS105 features k dunbrook.  She’s got a wonderful gallery!  I chose this card – Hint of Red – to CASE. Only I used pink instead of red, and […]

I made this card for the inspiration challenge at SCS today.  IC166 caught my eye because my daughter and I have been shopping around for nursery furnishings for my soon-to-be first granddaughter.  I love all the fresh designs at the Hunkydoryhome website.  I’ll have to send her the link as soon as I’m through with […]

Today’s Featured Stamper at SCS is Vicky Gould!  She’s a wonderful stamper and her gallery is full of so much inspiration!  Congratulations, Vicky!  This is a well-deserved honor! Here is her card – Star of Wonder – that I chose to CASE.   Isn’t it beautiful?  I used her ideas of layering the focal image on […]

How about another pink Valentine??  Oh, why not!!?? I’m hosting this week’s Color Throwdown challenge, and I just love this color combo for a “hot pink” Valentine: I’m using my Love Banner image again!  It’s just too much fun!   Like yesterday’s bookmark, this card has a lot of texture.  I used several colored images to […]

Wow, it  seems like it’s been forever since I played in one of the Dirty Girl/Alumni challenges at SCS.   And it probably has!   I couldn’t resist this month’s challenge though.  “Feel the Love” is just too tempting to pass up! Jodi Collins (Kharmagirl) from Stamping A Latte is our hostess this month.  Here are the […]

Well, I don’t think I’ve ever made a mostly black Valentine card before!!  But I just love this Basic Grey paper (Seed from the Granola collection) and thought it went really well with the sweet little birdhouses. It may be strange that this little stamp came to mind when I first saw Taylor’s sketch for […]

Do the young people now even know what that means?  There used to be a song back in the “olden days” that was called “Sealed With a Kiss”, by Bobby Vinton.  At least that’s the first one I remember.  I just looked it up on Leo’s Lyrics (www.leoslyrics.com) and found a few more who sang […]
