Stamping Bliss

Using the Catalog For Ideas

When the new catalog comes out I spend hours drooling over it.  I am a little addicted.  =)  But as the year wears on and I get familiar with it I don't spend as much time in it.  I even forget to look through its pages for inspiration.  Well this card is inspired by the card on page 44 of the Idea Book & Catalog.  It is only slightly different but the colors and templates are exactly the same.

So I am going to challenge you all this weekend:  Pick a card out of the catalog that you like, whether it is because of the stamps, colors or template.  Then make it.  Very simple.  If you have a blog and you take me up on this challenge, then post your creation and I will post a link to it on my post.  Or if you e-mail me a picture I will put it on my blog.  You may find a Random Act of Kindness (RAK) in your mailbox just for participating...

 

RECIPE:  Stamps-Love you Much; Ink-Chocolate Chip, So Saffron & Regal Rose; CS-Close to Cocoa, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White; Regal Rose & So Saffron.

Friend To Friend

Whew, it has been awhile, hasn't it?  Sorry about that.  Life suddenly got crazy and it became impossible to keep up with blogs and everything else.  But I am back with lots of samples to share with you.  I must admit I have missed working on my blog and can't wait to get back into the swing of things.  I have also updated the sidebar of my blog with new projects and information.  I am currently working on my Spring schedule so check back tonight or tomorrow to check out all of the exciting classes and events coming up.  Thank you for your patience.

Today's card is from a recent Stamp-A-Stack.  I found the design in a card magazine (sorry, I can't find it to post the title).  I fell in love with the template and new I wanted to create the same look using SU! products.  This is not my usual style but I loved the simplicity of the card.  It is hard to see in the picture but there is a slight dot texture on the white card stock.
