Map It! Monday!

Happy Monday Stampers!

I hope you all had a great weekend and are enjoying some beautiful weather! It has been a busy week around the Stamping With Penny studio.  I had a craft show on Saturday and Thursday through Sunday I was helping out my husband at the Flower & Garden Show with his rain barrels.  Now that I have rested a bit, it's time for this week's map!

Do you have a funky kind of style?  If so, then this map is for you.  I used the Tasteful Trim die to make this funky background.  You could do the same thing with ribbon, torn paper, strips of paper, whatever you can imagine.  Give it a try! I can't wait to see what you come up with so don't forget to send me a photo.

Until next time....Happy Stamping!

Hello Stampers!  I haven't been posting this week at all because I'm getting ready for a craft show on Saturday.  You can view the commercial below and if you're in the area, please stop by and say hello!



Until Monday....Happy Stamping!

Map It! Monday

Happy Monday Stampers!  Did you all remember to set your clocks ahead?  One of the many signs of spring!  I love spring.  I enjoy checking my front flower bed to see what's happening today...my tulips are poking through and I have crocus' blooms ready to open!

The butterflies on this map reminded me of spring, so today's challenge is using the map below, make a spring like card.  Be sure to send me a photo of your creation so I can feature you here!

 

Happy Stamping!

Map It! Monday

Hello Stampers!  What's that saying?  Better late than never?  Well, that is my case this week.  I haven't forgotten about you all it's just been a busy week.  I belong to a group of local Home Based/Small business Moms.  It's called QC Moms in Business or QCMiB for short.  Long story short, we do two charities a year and tomorrow night we are doing a quarter auction for our local zoo so I have been helping to get ready for this fun event!  Needless to say, I've not even had the chance to do my version of last week's challenge.  My goal for this weekend is to work, work, work and get caught up on my blog.  Thank you for being patient.  :)

On to this week's challenge.  Such a simple design.  I think I'm going to try my version with the postage stamp punch.  I also am going to try these colors....I really like the Bashful Blue with the black.  

Don't forget to send me a pic of our masterpiece so I can feature you right here! 

 

Time to get back to quarter auction stuff.  Until next time....
Happy Stamping!

Map It! Monday

Good Evening Stampers!  As I mentioned on my Facebook page I am a little behind today, thus Map It! Monday is getting posted later than usual.  Tonight I will make my version of the map and post it then.

Had a wonderful weekend at a 14 hour cropping event.  I get to attend these twice a year and it’s a family time for me.  Both of my daughters and my cousin (more like a sister) attend with me.  We have a great time catching up and just hangin’ out together.  I get to run into some great friends too.  It’s even a good time for me to work on craft show items.  I will be attending a craft show March 24^th so there will be a lot of work going on in the studio.

Today’s Map It! Monday challenge is another simple map.  Don’t you just love simple cards?  I love when I can pull up a map that is so simple I can whip one out in no time.  However, I do love the more detailed cards as well.  Most maps you can step up to make them a little more fancy.  This map is one of those cards.  I hope you enjoy it and as always send me a photo or scan of your masterpiece so I can feature you (if you choose) as a “guest designer” right here!

Stay tuned tomorrow for my version of this map!  Until then...

Happy Stamping!

Map It! Monday Challenge

Happy President’s Day Stampers!  It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood.  The sun is shining, hubby is home today, the grandbabies are having a great time roller skating, I got to play in my studio and now I’m listening to Adele’s 21 album while I blog.  Life doesn’t get any better!

I have decided that when I do “my version” of my Map It! Monday challenge, I’m going  to make the map simple looking.  Meaning, it will look less like a finished card and more like a map.  Sort of like I did in the beginning when I first started my Map It! Monday challenges.  Speaking of the beginning…I can’t believe this is my 70^th challenge!  Where does the time go?  Well on to today’s challenge.

Below you will see two photos.  As always, one is the map and the second is my version of an actual card using the map.  I hope it shows you how the map is just an idea.

And now for my version.
