Stampin' Chez Moi

Well I got a parcel in the mail yesterday from Lil' Inker, it was m y sentiment flag ~ thanks,  Laura !  and I just wanted to play so badly ~ I had to use my new toy! Well I found the layout that I wanted to use from Inkspirations  #55, isn't this a great layout! but just couldn't get my colors together, until I woke up this morning and found what I needed on CQC  #70, thanks so much girls! I wanted to create a valentine's card for my amazing husband and I knew these colors were exactly what I wanted in order to put this together for him... Don't you just love my new 'flag' die cut ~ it is just perfect! It was so fun to pull out this darling little girl from Greeting Card Kids (love that stamp set) her words of love are exactly how I feel.... i just love you! Thanks so much for stopping by today and sharing  a bit of your day with me! Happy February..spring is coming...it really is! Have a fantastic day! Stamps: Rough Type, Short & Sweet, It...

Well I finally got a chance to play along with another challenge ~ tea with my girlfriend this morning, and then a day of playing in my studio...what a fun day I've had!  So the cQc Challenge #68 was asking for these colors I rose to the challenge and created a little birthday card for our 2 year old grandson ~ Thomas the Train is his absolute favourite, every train he sees becomes his Thomas! I can't seem to capture my pictures well ~ it really does look better IRL ~ and so, here it is.... I used clear EP on Poppy Parade CS for my smoke, cut them out and used dimensionals to adhere them! and then continued with the train theme on the inside of my card. Sure hope our little man loves his card...and of course he'll be opening up some Thomas the Train gifts to add to his collection! Here is our little Birthday Boy holding his baby brother! not the greatest pictures due to the water glasses....but can't you feel the energy ~ he is SO much fun! Thank you so much ...

When I saw the cQc Challenge #67 , I knew right away what I wanted to do with this ~ my baby card stash is VERY low...and then the following morning I noticed the SUO Challenge was for a Baby Card! Two challenges in one ~ I had so much fun doing this...with a few challenges along the way! I really seem to struggle with colors that are chosen for me...so this is a good thing, gets me out of my box and comfort zone ~ I didn't have any Kiwi Kiss in my studio and then forgot all about Melon Mambo! So I substituted Certainly Celery for the Kiwi and then added the Twine to my buttons which is the closest embellishment that I had to Melon Mambo! Okay, so now I'm exhausted....so here's my Baby Buggy Card I then used Crystal Effects on the Baby Buggy dots & heart (I'm loving CE, just adds texture and 'color pop' to whatever it kisses) ~ so then I came to the interior of the card and when I stamped.....oh....I made a mess, I didn't come down properly and so m...
