Good Morning Ladies! I visit Carole’Anne’s blog Stampin Stress Away every day. Each week she and her sister Sandi (who’s blog Sandi MacIver I also check out) have a 10 minute challenge. The rules are to create a card in 10 minutes. Sometimes there is a sketch to follow, colors to use, or a specific product. This week it was a color challenge. I decided to try again. I used the sketch from Mary Jo’s…
Happy Friday Ladies! I have 2 cards for you today. The first card is for the Late Night Stampers patriotic challenge. You were to use the colors of you flag to create a card. I was inspired by this card by Chera and by a card that someone made (can’t remember who) that used strips of red, white, and blue at the bottom.

I used the Perfect Details template to make the back layer and added to card base with…

Round the edges of your sentiment and cut out…

I had a demo friend I met on the yahoo group Late Night Stampers. She told me about mixing it with alcohol and spritzing your cards to give them some sparkle (you know I like my sparkle). So I…
Second post, scroll down for the first! Not sure where the inspiration for this card came from. I started with the Melon Mambo color and then thought it would be great to add some Basic Gray. I found a great sketch at Just Add Ink so I was set to make my card. I stamped the Matchbox Messages frame and then added the basil stamp from the Herb Expressions stamp set. I then mounted it…
