Just Kidding!

 Monday, February 26, 2024

Happy Monday! It has been a great Monday here! Very productive! I love Mondays! And I'm excited to share today's card. I  was inspired by The Paper Players Sketch Challenge PP678 this week.

Here's my card:

When I first looked at the Just Kidding DSP I saw this image and loved it. My BFF immediatley said, "I love you no matter what!" I knew I had to make a card! The Paper Players sketched made it easy to use more of the DSP to create my card.

Card Details:

• Pretty Peacock card base
• Just Kidding DSP: 4"x 5-1/4";  2 x 3-3/4";  2-1/4" x 4-3/4"; adhere to card base as shown
• Basic White approximately 1-1/4" x 3" stamp sentiment from SU!'s Bee My Valentine in Pretty Peacock. Cut using die from Stylish Shapes dies. Adhere to card base with dimensionals.
• Cut image from DSP; adhere with dimensionals
• I added 3 sequins from the Shiny Sequins (SU! Online Exclusive available March 5)

I'm going to have to make several of these now. I have a list of people I want to send one too!

And here is Autumn yesterday during church. Her momma was doing the livestream and Gigi (me) was trying to keep here contained! 😂 I guess you can see how well that went!

Happy Stamping!

I'm playing along with the Stampin' Up! Only Challenge SUOC 345 and realized I needed to submit this now as the challenge ends in a few hours! They want your favorite florals.

I used SU!'s Simply Zinnia stamp set an Online Exclusive available March 5. I stamped the flowers in Berry Burst on Bubble Bath cardstock which I cut with the Perennial Postage dies. I adhere it to a Berry Burst layer which was cut with the same dies. The sentiment is from the same stamp set. I stamped it using Encore Silver ink and fussy cut around it and popped it up with dimensionals. I added a few Matte Black Dots.

I'm also entering it in the Simply Clean & Simple February Challenge where Anything Goes with an optional theme of PINK! I hope it is clean and simple enough...for me it is!

Happy Stamping!

Catching Up

 Sunday, February 25, 2024

Wow! A month has flown by without a blog post. We were gone a week camping in February. Had a great time. My cousin and her husband joined us...fun! Our first camping trip with them. Growing up our families camped together every summer except my cousin never joined us! She hated camping and would go stay at Grandma's or our aunt's house! 😂 Now she and I are the only ones that camp from those two families. Here's a pic of Gunner. He is biggest of my cousin's three dogs!

After the campout I spent the following week taking care of a sick granddaughter, Autumn. 😞 So sick with croup and an ear infection. Thankfully she was better by the weekend and we all went down to the beach to celebrate her first birthday! Katie's aunt allowed us the use of her beach house for the weekend! It was so nice. Autumn had a 'mermaid' themed party. Her outfit was so cute!

Hard to believe she is ONE! She never did touch her cake or eat a piece. 😂 We had a wonderful weekend with the kids. By the time we got home I was coming down with a cold. I spent most of this past week dealing with it along with getting our tax info to the accountant, dealing with things here at home, etc. 

I made a few cards with the SU! Simply Zinnia bundle coming to the Online Exclusives March 5. The cards are okay. I was playing with the Zinnia EF and the Glimmer paper. I like the look of it on the white. It popped the most. I can't believe I didn't take a picture of the card I made for  Autumn's birthday! Ugh! I'll have to get one next time I'm at their house which will be this week!

Okay, I think that's a quick overview of the last few weeks.

Happy Stamping!
