Hello Stampers! I have two new cards to show you in response to my first design challenge. I love the way both of them look. Notice they are the same layout just two different orientatioins.

The first one (above) was completed by Mandy Gross. Thank you Mandy for playing!

The second (above) was created by Cynthia Peterson-Castro. Thank you Cynthia for playing!

I hope you all will play along with my next challenge and then come back to check out the finished items. It's a great way to get ideas and have the layout already designed for you!!

Happy Stamping!

I thought some of you may like to see one of the many things you can do with Stampin' Up!'s Decor Elements. I originally ordered this to put on my laptop but decided to cut it in half and put it on my cabinet in my studio. I love the final result!

Send me photos of something you have done with Decor Elements and I will post it for all to see!

Have a stampingly happy day!

Design Challenge #1

Okay Stampers, here is my first design challenge for you. Make a card or scrapbook page using the layout below. It's easy!

This is how I play:

• Use whatever materials and colors you like with the layout above.


• The ovals can actually be squares, circles, etc. Whatever you want to use.


• Same for the strips. Ribbon, cardstock, scalloped edging, designer series paper, etc. It's your choice.

Once you have completed the challenge, photograph your project or scan it and email it to me and I will post them here next week. I will have my as well.

I can't wait to see what you all come up with! Have fun!

Hello Stampers! Yes, I know I have been MIA for awhile but I am hoping that will change. My current goal is to post a project twice a week so I hope you will check back with me often.

In the meantime, please enjoy some of the new, updated information on my sidebars.

Happy Stamping!
