HSS 177

Hi stampers and happy Tuesday!  It's time for a new challenge over at Hand Stamped Sentiments!  This week is a fun color challenge.

Obviously, with baby on the brain this challenge screamed baby girl to me :-)  But I did take it in a different direction by making a gift tag instead of the usual card.  And no, I'm not giving you hints here as it's way to early to know if the jelly bean is a boy or girl.  The color challenge just fit for a girl :-)

Stampin' Supplies:
Stamps:  Zoo babies
Paper: Whisper white
Ink: Wisteria wonder, coastal cabana, strawberry slush
Accessories:  Wisteria wonder ruffled ribbon (retired), scalloped tag topper punch, whisper white bakers twine, subtles collection buttons

I was excited to pull out one of the new tag topper punches!  Those things are really cool!  Just cut your paper to 2 inches wide and punch any length tag you want!!!  And it's hard to see but there's a wisteria wonder button on the elephant behind :-)  I wanted just a little something 3D and to jazz her up a bit!

Ok, make sure to check out all the inspiration and play along!!!!

Happy stamping!

Happy stamping!

Retro Sunday

Hi stampers!  Yay for stamping Sundays!  I'm slowly getting back into the groove.  I've made a few things I hate, a few I love, and a few that are just ok :-)  I haven't played along in many challenges lately so I've been trying my hand at a few today.  First up is Retro Sketches.  I always love their sketches and use them often for inspiration.  This one is cute!

I broke out the zoo babies set which is totally cute and made a little baby girl card...which I don't really need....but I'm sure I'll use it soon since everyone but me seems to be popping out babies!!!!

I'm all over bright colors as of late...you should SEE some of the shirts I bought on vacation....they are so bright you really couldn't help but see them;-)  So, I went fun and bright with this card.

Stampin' Supplies:
Stamps:  Zoo babies, a dozen thoughts
Paper:  Whisper white, strawberry slush, afternoon picnic DSP, 2013-2015 in color core'dinations
Ink:  Wisteria wonder, strawberry slush
Accessories:  doilies, subtles buttons, whisper white baker's twine, alphabet press EF, coastal cabana ruffle trim

The giraffe is supposed to be polka dotted but my slush ink pad is really juicy so I got kind of annoyed trying to get a good image so I gave up, lol!  It's still cute!

And now I'm off to take a walk I think....vacation has made me lazy!!!!

Happy stamping!
