ABC Christmas Challenge: D - Don't Over Do It

Hello stamping friends!!

I'm sorry I have been so quiet. We are moving in a couple of months and have a lot to do to get the house on the market. I haven't had much time to craft. 

ABC Christmas Challenge:

D is for Don't Over Do it!

All Dressed Up.

Winner will receive two free digis of their choice

from Wendy’s Etsy shop

 

Here is my card...

 This is Santa's Gift from High Hopes Rubber Stamps. 

Just a quick card with a little Liquid Applique and Stickles glitter to finish it off.

 The image was embossed in black onto watercolor paper and watercolored with Twinkling H2Os...

Now it's your turn! The challenge runs through March 1st.

Thanks for stopping by! Happy stamping!

Getting Spruced Up Christmas Scrapbook Layout

Hello stamping Fans!!

Come join us for the High Hopes Monthly Challenge

 

****

 

It's also time for a new ABC Christmas Challenge:

B is for Baubles (or Ornaments for those of us in the US ;-)

 

****

 

Today I'm sharing another Christmas scrapbook layout. 

This one is from 2003 when my now 13 year old was only 15 months old (my how time flies). 

I used Getting Spruced Up S241 for this layout.
I kept it simple so that it fits nice and flat in a scrapbook.
I used some die cuts to cut out the title from glitter card stock, a Star punch and spruce die, and ric rac ribbon to finish it off.

The image was embossed in black onto watercolor paper and watercolored with Twinkling H2Os and a few Copics...

High Hopes: Sunday's Best

Hello Stamping Fans!!

It's time for the High Hopes Monthly Challenge

Anything Goes

 

******

I needed to get started on some Valentine's Day cards for the kids' teachers. 

I chose Sunday's Best (on sale 50% off at Stamp and Create- only 1 available; or here at High Hopes) for my son's teacher. It's nice and cute, but not overly "lovey-dovey" since it's a card for a teacher from a 5th grade boy ;-) 

 

This image is really cute for a Mother's Day card as well.

 

 

 

The image was embossed in black onto watercolor paper and watercolored with Twinkling H2Os.

High Hopes Sitting Santa Scrapbook Layout

Hello Stamping Fans!!

Well it's back to the grind!
My kids went back to school yesterday after their almost-3 week break.
I love being home with them, but it is hard to get anything done.
We had a great time together while they were on break and we are looking forward to a great year!

High Hopes January Challenge:

Anything Goes

 

I really need to get caught up on some scrapbook layouts. Hopefully I will be able to do more layouts more often. I miss it and I'm desperately behind!

I had these pictures already printed out so I went with 2014 first (I don't think I have any Christmas layouts completed yet!! I have 13 years to catch up on!! Yikes!

 

 

I decided to use Sitting Santa S203 for this layout.

 

The image was embossed in black onto watercolor paper and watercolored with Twinkling H2Os.

Lacey 

Today I created a Thank you card for a friend. She loves to golf and we live in Florida so I paired these two stamps together to create a fun scene.
This is Swinging Sherry and Palm Tree S096.

I created a Zig Zag Card (or a Center Step Card). You can find a tutorial here created by Kristine.

The image was embossed in black onto watercolor paper and watercolored with Twinkling H2Os then cut out and attached to the card.

Happy stamping and I hope you have a very Happy New Year!!

Happy Christmas Eve!!!

I pray you all are having a wonderful Christmas. 

 

I needed a few tags so I pulled out this adorable stamp called His Love For Ewe M103.

This stamp is called Happy Mail SS002 from the latest release. The sentiment is We Wish You A Merry Christmas HH003

ABC Christmas Challeng: Youngsters

 

******

Well, I'm sorry I missed my post last week. My husband was in the hospital with a blood clot. Luckily they found it early and a few days of hospital bed rest and blood thinners and he will be ok. 

It has been a little crazy while he was gone so I am so thankful that I colored up two of these images the last time so I had a colored image already to be popped on a card...

 

This is the fun Jolly Old St Nick T037

It is also currently part of one of the Club Packs CP007

 

The papers are My Mind's Eye. 

 

The image was embossed in black onto watercolor paper and watercolored with Twinkling H2Os and Copics.
