My card for Kerin's challenge that you can find here. Her prize for this week is one yard each of the new In-color polka dot ribbon!

I used SU's Give Thanks stamp set for this challenge and watercolored on SU's WC paper. Not too keen on the inside of the card however, but some of the earlier stamp sets were difficult to cut and so often times I get that rubber mark and have to correct my error in the best way I can.

Oh and that big ol' button is from the Dollar Store from at least 3 years back!

Here is a card for this week's challenge. This is a pretty color combo, easy on the eyes. I used SU's Happy Harmony SS with markers and my MIL stamped the image. The DP is Bella Bleu.

A fun little card using Ellzybell stamp. This was a fun challenge because of all the layering and again I used SU's watercolor paper which has changed the way I want to stamp. You can check Kerin's blog here for more fun challenges and other great ideas. She also has a great Make-n-Take kit for sale, everything pre-cut - just add the stamping. Check her out!

Earlier this week I received a package of SU Watercolor Paper that I won from Kerin's blog Stamps, Paper, Glitter! that you can find here.
Well, can I just mention how great this paper is?! I had some watercolor paper amongst my supplies from either one of my kids' leftover art classes which I thought was acceptable quality. But after using the SU variety, you just can't compare. Trust me. So this is a card I made for Splitcoast Stampers' weekly sketch challenge using Echoes of Kindness stamp set and watercolors. Only problem now is that it seems I don't have enough stamp sets to watercolor!

Here is the card I made for this week's challenge.
Mixing the old with the new colors and a stamp set
that says so much...

This was a real fun challenge this morning - I wasn't too sure about the color combo but when I put it all together I was quite pleased with the outcome. I pulled out some older in-color paper, like when was the last time you used Groovy Guava and Purely Pomegranate? You can find Kerin's blog here with her challenge. She also has a weekly prize for participating.

Becky Roberts' Designer Desk Set Tutorial...

...or as I like to call it 'Thank God it's raining again!'. Yes for anyone who lives around the greater Montreal area, rain is what we have been getting. So I don't feel so terribly guilty being in my craft room plugging away at yet another of Becky's great tutorials. This one took me several hours, but I am quite pleased with the outcome.
