New Sketch/New Stamp Set

Here is my card for the sketch given over at Let's Scrap....I used a stamp set from the sponsor of this weeks sketch...Mark's Finest Papers. I stamped my frog on patterned paper from Stampin UP....cut him out and sponged the edges--created a background using the cat tail stamp, brayering some colors over it with a masked moon--embossed my background with a plate from Stampin Up and then spritzing the paper!! There you have it!! Come on over to Let's Scrap and play along.....you could be the lucky winner of a prize from Mark's Finest Papers.

Missing you!!

My sister is visiting right now...she and her 4 boys!! We are having so much fun and after having them around for 3 weeks I know I will miss them terribly when they leave.....so I have made this card and will send it before she leave so that when they arrive home she will have it. For this card I used Mercy's sketch and the color combo challenge from Embellish Magazine. EM's challenge also called for a label and I created my wavy label by hand and stamped it with an I Miss You sentiment from Stamping up. My main image piece was stamped in Choc. Chip and colored in with So Saffron and Cameo Coral.....all products from Stampin Up.

Mojo Monday #143....it has been forever since I have gotten to play!!

It has been forever since I have gotten to make a card....it feels great!! I have not had a chance to stamp in such a long time.....busy busy schedules around here!! I used my new embossing folder that I just got today.....So Saffron, Perfect Plum, and Mellow Moss for my color combination, and I decided to play around with the Mojo Monday sketch today....always a great source of inspiration. I hope to be able to play along alittle more than I have been these last several weeks. Thanks to all of you who missed me and let me know....that felt good!!
