CASology Week 83 - Jump!

Happy Saturday!  We have a little taste of spring here today.  The sun is shining and the snow is melting, but there is still a lot left!

I am playing along with CASology Week 83 at the last minute.  The theme is the word "jump".  I don't have many stamps that portray this, so I had to dig deep into my collection and came up with this...

It's not my usual style, but I like how it turned out.  Thanks for looking!

Make It Monday #152 - Take 2

This is my second post today with my second card for the Papertrey Ink Make It Monday #152 Challenge.  For this card, I stamped on cream cardstock with Galaxy Gold pigment Ink.  I then stamped butterfly images with Royal Velvet and Stampin' Up's Wisteria Wonder dye inks.  It is hard to see in the photo, but the gold ink shows through the dye inks very well and has a little shimmery effect.

Thanks for looking!  Enjoy your day!

Make It Monday #152

Yes, it's true.  We have another snow day.  We haven't been to work or school in almost a week now!!!!  Anyway, since I have not been working, I have had time to play in "my spot".  Today I am trying the technique from Papertrey's Make It Monday.

Heather showed us how to stamp layers using pigment and dye inks.  For my first card, I stamped an image from Turning a New Leaf with white pigment ink onto white cardstock.  I then stamped rose images from The Sweet Life with Scarlet Jewel and Pure Poppy dye inks.

Thanks for stopping by.

Keep Smiling!

There are a lot of people out there who are not happy about all of this snow we have.  Here is a little card I made to remind us to just "keep smiling".

I was inspired by the CAS(E) this Sketch #64.  Here is the sketch..

Here is my card....

Doesn't this just make you feel happy?  The dancing girl image is from The Angel Company (no longer in business).  The Keep Smiling sentiment is from the Simon Says Stamp February card kit.  The patterned paper is from the card kit as well.

Thanks for stopping by.....just keep smiling!!
