For You....and 2 challenges

Happy Friday!  Today is the last day to receive FREE shipping on any size order courtesy of Stampin' UP!.  If you place on online order of $40 or more with me, I will send you a package of Tea Lace Doilies.  Please use Hostess Code: UYBRDXQG.

I have been a busy stamper preparing for my Spring Stamping Spa Day, and created a project surrounding the color challenge at Color Throwdown, and also the challenge at Paper Players.  Here are their challenges:
                                                   

The colors I used for the Color Throwdown challenge are: Groovy Guava (retired), Pool Party, Crumb Cake and Kiwi Kiss (retired).  Paper Players challenge is to use a "die cut" on your project. My project consists of a birthday card made from the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits Die set (my most favorite item in the Occasions catalog!).

Here's what I made:

Isn't this just so pretty? I am very happy with how it turned out!  This is one of 10 projects you can make with me on Saturday, April 18, 2015.  Deadline to register is Monday, April 13, 2015.  Click HERE for more information! 

Built for Free Using: My Stampin Blog



Well, that's my project share for today.  Come back on Sunday to see the project I made for the new Sunday Stamps!  challenge.  Till, then Happy Friday, and Happy Stamping!

Impressions a Bloom for Sunday Stamps!

 Happy Sunday!  Right now I am knee deep in making decorations for my daughter's upcoming baby shower next weekend and the theme is Winnie the Pooh! lol :)  I am going to be a grandma for the first time and all I can say is that I am really is exciting! I forced myself to clear off my stamping table (well actually just push stuff away) and created a floral card for this weeks new challenge at Sunday Stamps!  The Impressions  a Bloom Bundle is one of my newest favorite sets and I really have not had time to create with all of the very many different ways you can with this set.  Here's my 2nd go.

I then took my Darling Duckling and my Timid Tiger Stampin' Blends and outlined some of the edges of the pears to add more depth to each Pear.
