Stamping Symphony Colour Challenge Instahop

We are mid-way through another month, which means it's time for another Stamping Symphony Instahop!  This month Sandy gave us a colour challenge as a jumping off point  But I decided to go with a more muted variation in this card:

Creation Station Stampin' Blends Blog Hop

That summer flew by!  I took a short hiatus for the month of August and am now happily back in my craft room and brimming with new ideas!  

I love my Blends, so I was happy to break out my favourite colours and pair them with some new Christmas stamps for a non-traditional holiday card.  How cute is this little wagon full of winter cheer?!  The image is from the new Filled With Cheer Stamp Set, which coordinates with an existing stamp set, Filled With Fun, and the Filled With Fun Dies.

Creation Station Case The Catologue Hop

Good gravy it is July already!  The world is green, the birds are singing and it's time to enjoy some sunshine.  It's also time to play with the Creation Station team again, and this month we are scouring the new annual catalogue for inspiration.

Stampin' Friends Lots of Layers Blog Hop

Good Morning Stampin' Friends.  It's time for another blog hop, and this theme is always one of my favourites--Lots of Layers!  My project has a grand total of 11 layers, which I think meets the challenge nicely. :)

Stamping Symphony Clean & Simple InstaHop

Our Stamping Symphony InstaHop theme this month was "clean and simple"--which is not my forte!  I love layers and embellishments and textures, which tend to make for busier cards than fit within the definition of clean and simple.  So this is simple-with-a-twist, which I hope you like!

#TGIFC476 Colour Challenge

It's been a long time since I've been able to play with the TGIF Challenges, but this week I was able to squeeze out some time to play along.  It's a colour challenge this week, with colours (Azure Afternoon, Pumpkin Pie & Basic Grey) that I don't naturally gravitate to--so a fun challenge to take on!  I just received some new paper so I was excited to break into that pack of Take To The Sky DSP and get creative.

Creation Station In Colour Challenge

Here we are in June already, and another Creation Station Blog Hop.  The new annual catalogue is still hot off the press, and I'm having so much fun playing with all my new products!  This month's hop theme is a colour challenge--one in colour + one core colour--so the potential is endless.  I decided I need to use my favourite new in colour, Petunia Pop, and the beautiful Thoughtful Journey DSP as a jumping off point, adding some accents in classic Smoky Slate for my project.
