An Egggstra Fun Stamp Simply Challenge

It's time for another fun Stamp Simply challenge. I really look forward to these each week. This week Sharon is getting us ready for Easter. I cannot believe that Easter is only a week away! Time really flies! This week whatever you decide to create should include eggs. I will direct you to Sharon's blog for all the deets as I have a little guy upstairs that isn't feeling so well this evening.

I was set to create a little something more than a card this evening but then my mommy duties took first place. But all is not lost! I have one of the cutest new Verve sets! I LOVE the Chocolate Bunnies set! Here's my Easter card.....

Be sure and check out the rest of the team to see what they have in store for you....Dee, Tammy, Janine, AJ, Julie, Becky and the newest guest designer Jenny.

I'm off! I will post you all soon! Have a good one! :)

One Verve Sketch Three Ways

There is this fab sketch over at Verve...yes, a contest is involved...the winner will be the guest designer for the month of June. Well, win or not this is a fun sketch and you know me...I'm a sucker for a great sketch! LOVE sketches! I love seeing all of the different interpretations and I love coming up with my own!

So while playing with this sketch I came up with three different cards that I really like. You can check the sketch out over at Julee Tilman's blog or at her Verve blog. Well, when I first saw the sketch I wanted to flip it and turn it into a mailbox. I really love when a sketch just 'looks' like something to me. Love it! Well here's how that one turned out....

The 'mailbox' even opens....

...how funny is it that there was only a one dollar bill in my wallet! I never have cash! :)

So then I had this great idea for turning a star into a flower. The trouble is once the 'flower' was created it looked really Christmas'y' so I had to turn it into a Christmas card. Here is that one...

...and finally...I had to use my heart stamp. I really love the heart from this set. It's spring and so I turned to pinks and greens. I had the perfect pink pearls for this one. Here's my final card...

So that's it. What a fantabulous sketch! This one I will definitely use again!

Thanks for stopping by! I am off to...well...clean my desk! You wouldn't believe how trashed it is! I look forward to posting you all soon!

Have a great night! ;)

I've Got Some Verve! :)

If I'm late that is! :) ...it's a good thing I crack myself up! :)

Ok...so while doing the laundry today I found this really cute blankey of Hayden's....it had inspired this card last week while doing the laundry and of course I didn't write it in my little book...the book was in the basement - I was upstairs...I just didn't have the energy and I knew I wouldn't forget! Ha! What a laugh that is! If I don't write it down, I've got problems!

Anyway, there I was doing the laundry yet again only to come across the same blankey and it was a 'V8' moment. So I rushed downstairs to throw this together. Tonight is a girls night and I really need to get a few things done before....

So here's the card....

...well, I sort of 'girlified' it...his blankey does not have a girl puppy on it...but I really wanted to use the flowers. Love the felt flowers!

That's all for now. Depending on how things go this evening, I might actually come home and stamp...the gals that I am going to dinner with are laughing at that sentence by the way! We are going to be taking Angie out tonight...she's my friend that is moving in just a couple of weeks. What a bummer! Who knows when we will make it home...and by that I mean from a mom standpoint...keep in mind that for me 10 is REALLY late! I don't get out much!

Thanks for stopping by and I will post you all soon! ...and yeahhhhh!!!! it's the weekend!!!! Time for more challenges! I am sooooo excited!

Another Verve Visual Entry

Here's one more for the Verve Visual contest. I had a really hard time taking this picture because of all the silver. I will take it again with a little natural light in the morning and see if I can get this any better. It's so shiny in person. I love that!...especially since the sentiment says 'your time to shine'! What an awesome couple of stamp sets! I love them both!

Here it is...

I hope y'all like this one. I am off to play with the boys a little before I send them to bed and then, if all goes well, a little more stamping!

Take care and I will talk to you all soon! :)

Verve Visual Challenge

Ok...one more. Here's one of my cards for the Verve Visuals Sketch Challenge. I so love this stamp set! Here's the card...

Hope it's ok to flip the sketch....fun sketch!

...and off to bed?....I am soooo tired and my head is starting to hurt again! I think it's time to call it a night! But I haven't even played with my new stuff yet! Not sure if I will be able to sleep! ;)

Talk to you all soon! Take care! :)
