SSS Start afresh

Hello ,. I'm back again with one more card today. This one is for SSS monday challenge .. Start Afresh, use something brand new. Well I ordered a few things on boxing day I had yet to ink up , this is one of them . I loved this little stamp from PPP . The back ground is SSS diagonal stripes,  I stamped it , then flipped the card base the other way and stamped it again. I love how it turned out. Thanks for stopping by. 

SSS Anything goes

Hello, I'm trying to enjoy my last few hours of holiday break.... I don't want to go back to work tomorrow.. I would love to be able to stay home and make cards all day. However I need to pay my bills and craft money doesn't grow on trees. This stamp/die set was something my mom got me for Christmas. She is so sweet and broke into my SSS wishlist while I was at work and picked out a few things and ordered them for me. Currently working on holiday thank you notes. Off to make more cards, be back soon. 

One more for this challenge.

Hello, so  as I said previously ... I'm crazy about this stamp set. I wanted to try a different version with this stamp. Good thing Christmas is only once a year, I have a feeling I might use this every day if I could. But I'm sure you can see why? And I will have a headstart on next year's cards. Have a great night.

PTI December blog hop


Hello , I hope you are doing well today. I wanted to play along with this month's blog hop... but 1st I had to clean up my craft space... yikes! after making my Christmas cards I had a huge mess. I received some nice crafting supplies for Christmas , so I needed to put those in their place also.I took my inspiration from the assorted papers in the photo and used that idea for my background. I decided to make a birthday card. Because I'm sick of making Christmas cards. I think I made 200 ? not sure , lost count. Off to check out what everyone else made, see you soon.   Blog hop inspiration

Tis the Season

Hello, hope you are doing well. I've had a couple of rough days at work this week, so some coloring time was much needed. I have been looking for a good poinsettia stamp/die for ages, I'm a bit picky. I recently stumbled upon the Ellen Huston store , oh my !!! I had no idea what I was missing in life! Several orders later , I finally picked up this stunning stamp . LOVE!!!!!! Since it's an essential by Ellen I'm going to play along with the challenge they have going. There is a great prize... eek ! I would love to win.. I have my eye on the peony stamp next. Flowers are always great for watercoloring after work. Off to bed, tomorrow is gonna be a killer at work .....See you soon.
