Inky Friends: Inking Up the Retiring Colors Blog Hop: Sweet Sugarplum

Here we go again! It's the second weekend of the month so it has to be time for Inky Friends blog hop! Yippee! I love these hops! I love creating for them as well as checking out what my friends have created!

This month we chose to focus on the retiring In Colors. You may have come to my blog from Mary's blog where she showcased Peekaboo Peach. Maybe you are hopping backwards around. If that's the case, you would have just been on Sharleen's blog where she featured Peekaboo Peach (I'm in a Peekaboo Peach sandwich!). Regardless of which way you are hopping, we are all linked together so that you can see all! Now, on to my projects!

I picked Sweet Sugarplum to be the main color I used because I haven't used it much. It is a sweet color.

My first card has Sweet Sugarplum, Peekaboo Peach and Dapper Denim. All three colors will not be returning. I haven't done much with the splatter stamps. I like the way this one turned out. I am going to have to play with that a bit more!

This stamp set is one that is easy to miss. It's one of the hostess stamp sets that you can you could get with your hostess benefits. It's so cute! I have a few more projects with this set that I will be sharing next week. Come back for more!

This card uses an unusual color combo. My oldest daughter, Abi, was over to help pick out color combos again! She really makes me stretch.

Of course, I had to create a double layout! I enjoy creating these pages and the challenge of figuring out how to use the stamps and DSP on scrapbook pages. When I first started stamping, I was just a card maker. Several friends talked me into trying scrapbooking. I truly enjoy creating the pages.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed my projects and the color Sweet Sugarplum. Now you are off to see what Sharleen created wtih more Peekaboo Peach. Or you may be going backwards. Then you are off to see Mary's projects with Peekaboo Peach.

Don't forget to come back next week to see the Cozy Cottage cards, close ups of the scrapbook pages as well as another card using Petal Palette.

Happy Stampin'!

March Christmas cards

Bet you were wondering if I got my March Christmas cards completed or not! I sure did! I did them over spring break but wasn't able to photograph them or write up the blog post. I'm posting them now.

Here's the picture of the 6 cards that I made.

Here's the close up of one of the cards so that you can see it better. The background was embossed with Softly Falling. It really gives this card some great texture.

Six more Christmas cards in my box and ready to go this winter. How are you doing?

Happy Stampin'!

Floral birthday

I have been trying to mail cards for friends and family as their birthdays come around. I do OK at it but am behind at the moment. We have been doing some home improvements since Christmas break. Well, actually, we have been doing home improvements since we bought our house two and a half years ago. This last round has found it's way into my stampin' room. My space has been turned upside down! Because of that, I'm behind on mailing those cards. I'm really hoping that we can get the project completed this weekend and get my room back together!

Anywho, this card was made about a year ago so that I had a stash to mail to friends and family for their birthdays.

Because this was made a year ago, the ribbon has been retired. This stamp set, Rose Wonder, is on the retiring list that was released on Monday. You can see the list by going to my website or I can email it to you, just let me know you want one!

Happy Stampin'!
