From My Heart {CCMC208}

Hi Stampers, I'm here with this week's Create with Connie and Mary Challenge. This week we had a color challenge... The Colors for this Challenge are Basic Grey, Real Red, and Pumpkin Pie. Really fun birght colors. I love the greeting in the From My Heart stamp set that says "I'd rather do NOTHING with you than SOMETHING with anyone else." and have been anxiously waiting for the set to get here so I could play with it. I think the greeting is so sweet - it could make a beautiful love note but it's also a GREAT greeting for... Read more →

The Cherry On Top {CCMC207}

Hi Stampers, I'm here with this week's Create with Connie and Mary Challenge. This week we were given a sketch to inspire our creations... This sketch made me think of a fun Birthday Banner streaching across the room so that's what I decided to create. A fun banner stretching across the card over a Birthday Greeting! At first when I was playing with my card I had some buttons and brads and other embelishments and was playing around with positioning them here and there but I wasn't liking anything I did. Then I realized the card was really fun and... Read more →

Wacky Monster Birthday Card {CCMC206}

Hi Stampers, I'm here with this week's Create with Connie and Mary Challenge. This week we had a color challenge... The Colors for this Challenge are Cherry Cobbler, Island Indigo, and Crumb Cake. At first I was thinking of going the Father's Day route with this color combo but then I decided it was perfect for a Monster Birthday! I used my favorite new Hostess Exclusive greeting set again on this card Wacky Wishes. This time I stamped the greeting one on the Whisper White card stock and once on Crumb Cake. Then I used the Bitty Banners Framelits die... Read more →

Floral District {CCMC205}

Hi Stampers, I'm here with this week's Create with Connie and Mary Challenge. This week we were given a sketch to inspire our creations... I loved this sketch when I first saw it. Then when I started creating nothing was coming out the way I wanted so I tossed all the cut paper in my scrap bin grabbed a random stamp set and a few things off my shelves and started over and when I was finished I was back in LOVE with the sketch! :) I choose one of the bold bright prints from Floral District Designer Series Paper....

Just For Fun Pinwheels {CCMC204}

Hi Stampers, I'm here with this week's Create with Connie and Mary Challenge. This week we had a color challenge... The Colors for this Challenge are Wisteria Wonder, Calypso Coral, Lucky Limeade, and Early Espresso. These colors are so bright and happy, perfect for a little Just For Fun note, so that's what I created. I used the Sweets for the Sweet stamp set and a simple card layout. The three Pinwheels spin which adds to the FUN! I used just a touch of Early Espresso at the side to pull your eye over to the edge and the Greeting... Read more →

The Button Buddies Flower {CCMC203}

Hi Stampers, I'm here with this week's Create with Connie and Mary Challenge. This week we were given a sketch to inspire our creations... I've been fighting a spring cold the past week or so and the creativity has not been flowing so It was nice to jump into this week's sketch challenge and get the juices flowerin again! Button Buddies is one of my favorite sets so I decided to play with it and fall back on my favorite color combo (As you can obviously tell from my blog design - lol) of Cherry Cobbler, Wisteria Wonder, and Pink...

Keep Calm and Stamp On {CCMC202}

Hi Stampers, I'm here with this week's Create with Connie and Mary Challenge. This time we had a color challenge... The Colors for this Challenge are Pool Party, Poppy Parade, and Basic Black.

The Carry On Stamp Set is a sneak peek from the new catalog. It's one of the Hostess sets that will be avaliable starting June 1st! It's so fun getting a peek at stamp... Read more →
