I recently ordered and quickly received this new Kitchen Sink Stamp of cats and dogs. It is adorable with the cutest little sentiments as well. I could not believe how quickly that order came. Great job, Maria! This card is made for their Monday Kitchen Sink Crew Challenge. These challenges are fun and prizes are involved, so how much more fun is that when you might even win a new stamp set for it. This dog is done in 4 easy steps. I am always amazed at how KSS' images look like actual photographs. They are truly unique and not like any other stamps out there. Keep up the good work, Kitchen Sink!

I can't think of a better way to start the week than with the MOJO Monday challenge found here. I used my tulip stamp from Flourishes. I used my copics for the coloring. I sponged the edge of the circle with sage shadow. This is one of my favorite color combos.

Build a card challenge

What a fun challenge I did today! It was a build a card by blog hopping. This combined some of my favorite things: checking out other blogs and doing a challenge. I also got to use some scraps up from my piles!!

If you have never been to this site go by to check it out!!

I'm a day late for this challenge, but have done all the others and didn't want to pass on this one either. I'm having some major work done at my house so my stamproom is some what dispersed. Here's what I came up with using the scraps I had available to me. You can find the midnight madness sketch challenge here. The stamp is from Stampin' Up. I did my coloring with copic markers.

MOJO Monday 95

I love the new melon mambo from Stampin' Up along with pretty in pink and pink pirouette. The Basic black does a great job of helping those colors pop. I stamped the flower from the always set with melon mambo and kept stamping to lighten the color. The sentiment is from Sweet and Sassy. The design paper is punched with a Martha Stewart scalloped border punch. I punched a butterfly with a Martha Stewart punch and placed it in the silver hardware. Prima flowers were added with brads for the centers. The bow is made with burgandy organdy.

Flourish Timeless Tuesday Challenge

Here's my Flourish Timeless Tuesday challenge. I can't seem to get enough of my kiwi kiss and baja breeze. I hate they are being taken from us. Isn't that cruel?? I used the violets set and the verse is also from Flourishes. The challenge was to cut out some of your design and pop it up. I also used my nestabilities on this and I thought the tiny seed pearls were perfect flower centers.

Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge #9

I love Tuesdays because of the great challenges that happen on that day of the week. This is for the Midnight Madness Sketch challenge. I used my new Stampin' Up 's Autumn Day stamp for this arrangement and added a few speckles with my itty bitty background stamp. I used some of the new soft suede ink and some of the retiring color baja breeze. Actually, I am mourning the loss of my baja breeze. I have a stash, but it's going to have to last me during these hard times. (sniff, sniff). The vase is punched from the wide oval punch.
