Looking out my Window

Hi again , I meant to post this earlier but I totally forgot!! I made another window card (I so love this die). This one is for Lee's challenge over at Stamp TV. It is a inspiration challenge from her Pinterest page on Facebook. This challenge just started if you are interested in winning a bag of stamps from Gina K. Designs. I was inspired by a photo looking out a window. In this case I made it look out on a lake near here, "Whiskeytown Lake".
The stamps I used are from Theresa's set "By The Sea" and Life is Good" both sets are Gina K. Designs.
The window die is "Grand Madison by Poppystamps. I received this as part of my recent win over at Joan's Gardens. I just love this die so many things I can do with and I have tons of ideas.
I colored the image with Copic's and sponged the back ground with Mementos.



I'm off to make another card for this week's challenge at Joan's Garden, who knows maybe I will win again!!! Take care and thanks for stopping by.

Blinging it Up!

Hiya stampers! Hope the new year has started off great for you.
All I had on my wish list for Christmas was stamp related items. So you will be seeing some new fun things.
Today my card is for the "Bring back beautiful challenge over at Flourishes, Bling it UP". I just got this gorgeous set and couldn't wait to ink it up!! My pears relect the color of the pears I have been seeing around here, they don't have very many leaves on them but this is the color of them. They do look a little strange on the trees with just a few leaves and a ton of pears. I'm sure they are a beacon to the deer.
I colored the images with Copic's and the stamps are "Pears" by Flourishes.


Hope your week is going great and thanks for stopping by.

A New Year!

Good morning and Happy New Year!!!
Time for new beginnings and new hope for the coming year. I wanted to share this card I made for Donna's new release challenge over at Stamp TV. To make a stamped a background.
For my card I used Theresa Momber's just released set "Mountain Wilderness" by Gina K. Designs.
I just love this set and goes so well with many of her other sets. I see quail all the time but the best time is when they have all their baby's, they are so cute!!!!

I'm not making any new year resolutions, but do hope to try to do better at cleaning my stamping area. Don't really think it will happen, but there is always HOPE!

Happy New Year, my friends and thanks for stopping by.
