Adulting is hard

Hello. Playing in the photo inspiration challenge today over at Just Add Ink.


I liked the leaves, coffee, and plaid in the photo below and incorporated them into my layout.  

The plaid designer paper is from Memory Box. The leaf is a die from Simon Says Stamp and was cut from a distress ink background that I had in my stash.  The coffee ring stamp is from Altenew and was stamped in Ground Espresso Distress Oxide ink.  The sentiment is from Technique Tuesday.

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Birthday

Hello. Playing in the Just Us Girls, anything goes with a stencil challenge today.


The confetti stencil used here is from Waffle Flower.  I used inks from Simon Says Stamp to create the party background.  The Birthday die is cut from Tim Holtz alcohol ink cardstock, and I used three layers of basic black cardstock behind it to add dimension.

Kept it clean and simple for all genders and ages.

Thanks for stopping by.

Just wanted to say hello - TSOT#675

 Hello, and welcome back to another sketch challenge over at Try a Sketch on Tuesdays.



I decided to go with a Criss Cross Card for this challenge as I haven't done one in ages and turned the sketch on its side.

Designer paper is from Stamperia Hidden Grove paper pack.   The base of the card is dark chocolate from SSS. 

Mushrooms are stencils and dies from Pink Fresh Studio. To get the spots on the mushrooms, I used an old splatter stamp from SU, and heat embossed it with fine detail white powder.   The insert card has a tab that is created from an old SU punch.  Tied a bow using some jute string and called it done.

Here is the link to play along.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs! - SSC365

Hi all. We have a new sketch up over at Sunday Stamps.  


The corner dies are from Papertrey, Ink that I've had in my stash forever.  The gingham paper comes from Echo Park and the circle hugs stamp is from Concord & 9th.  I also used C&9 eucalyptus ink and cardstock.

This should be a fun sketch - I can't wait to see what you come up with.

Thanks for stopping by.
