Stamp Happy

Stamp Simply #90 - Gone to Pot!

Sharon Johnson has come up with another fun Stamp Simply challenge for you this week!  Sharon was planting flowers in a pot recently, and came up with the idea of a challenge using pots!  So just make sure to incorporate some kind of pot into your project (wherever your mind leads you, LOL!) whether it's a flower pot, or a coffee pot or a teapot, a cooking pot, whatever.... be creative and have fun!

I immediately thought of yet another cute Whipper Snapper image that Danielle recently sent me to use for this challenge!  Tomorrow, I am finally going to finish my Whipper Snapper order so I can get more of my own WSD stamps, as I'm running out of the ones Danielle sent me!  So, here's my pot... with a kitty popping out of it!

Sharon has used another beautiful Crafty Secrets image for her challenge card today, and you can check out the fabulous, creative designs from the rest of the team by clicking on their blog links below!

I have not been so glad to say TGIF in a long time... what a long week I've had and I'm still not caught up!!!  But I hope your Friday is fabulous!

Stamps:  Potted Kitty (Whipper Snapper Designs), sentiment (Gina K Designs)
Cardstock:  Cool Caribbean, Taken with Teal, So Saffron, designer paper (Stampin' Up!), white (Neenah Classic Crest Solar White)

Color Throwdown #45

Cathy is our hostess this week for the Color Throwdown, and she has chosen some bright, fun colors for you to try!  Remember, you don't have to use these exact colors, just whatever you have that is similar.  I myself did not have any Green Galore, and very little Pink Passion, so I substituted some Mint Bo Bunny Double-Dot paper, and used Pixie Pink instead.  See what I mean... just use whatever is close!  Post a direct link to your creation on the Throwdown blog (we're working on getting Mr. Linky back!), and if you upload to an online gallery be sure to use CTD45 in your tag!

For my card, I used this adorable Whipper Snapper image that Danielle sent me.  She's such an enabler... this one is going on my shopping list for sure!

Stop by the blogs of the Throwdown designers for more awesome creations!

Color Throwdown #42

Another Wednesday and it's time for another Color Throwdown!  I hope you'll take time to join us this week!  LeAnne chose our colors this week.... I believe she was inspired by some Basic Grey designer paper, as you'll see if you check out some of the other designers cards!  LOL  Stop by the Throwdown blog for all the challenge details, and to leave a direct link to your creation on Mr. Linky!

For my card, I chose to use this yellow Bo Bunny Double-Dot paper for the background, making this card very bright and sunny!  This card is actually already on it's way to someone... I know she'll be surprised when it arrives!  :)  This is another new Whipper Snapper image that I got recently at the Adventures in Stamping convention.  I just LOVE these cute images!  I think it's time to see if I can carry their stamps at the store!  The sentiment is from Stampendous, and is one of the very first rubber stamps I ever owned!

Check out the creations from the other Throwdown designers, including our Guest Designer for today.... my super-awesome friend Darlene Pavlick!

Color Throwdown #41

First... a few housekeeping items!

Over a week ago I directed you to the blog of my friend Joan Fricker and asked for prayers for her cousin Mel, who was suffering from the effects of a brain aneurysm that was discovered just days after she gave birth to her third child.  Well, it would appear that God is working a miracle in the life of this young woman, as there are some encouraging signs in her recovery!  Please visit Joan's blog for a recent update, and continue to keep Mel in your prayers!

AND, my wonderful friend Barbara Anders is in the FINAL FOUR of the Stamping Idol contest being sponsored by My Favorite Things!  I want to see her go all the way to the top!  Be sure to take time today to check out her awesome contest submission for this week here, and stop by this forum to cast your vote for her!

NOW, on to the Throwdown!  Danielle is our hostess this week, and she picked this fun color combo for you to try!  I had a GREAT time with it, coloring this sweet little Whipper Snapper image that I picked up at the recent Adventures in Stamping Convention in Akron!

Isn't Sofia a cutie with her kitty in the wagon?  She's bringing a pot of flowers to her Mommy for Mother's Day, I think!

Stop by the Throwdown blog for all the challenge details, and see what the other Throwdown girls have created by visiting their blogs!
