The Final Letter

Last week over at Inka Dinka Doodle Holly posted the last letter in her Sunday Stamps challenge, which would be 'Z'. It wasnt hard to pick a set, as the only one I have that begins with 'Z' is the SU set Zoofari. I thought it was such a darling set, had to have it and then couldnt figure out what to do with it after I got it.Dont you just love that? Anyway, I decided to use this weeks sketch challenge from Mojo Monday to go along with Holly's challenge.

Here is my card. These little guys look like they'd be full of energy so I wanted to use some bright colors on this card.

Supplies used(all supplies Stampin'Up! unless otherwise noted):
Stamps:Zoofari, Best Yet(sentiment)

Paper:Brilliant Blue, Riding Hood Red,Certainly Celery,Whisper White,Bazzill White

With this card I combined 2 challenges.

1.) Monday Stamps from Holly. This week the letter is 'W'. Since my family has been doing a lot of fishing lately I decided to go with the set Whale Wishes. Its another one I had to have and I think this is only my 2nd time putting ink to it, bad me!

2.) This weeks sketch challenge from Mojo Monday. This is the sketch posted:

Mojo Monday and Monday Stamps

I'm knocking out 2 challenges with this card. The layout is from Mojo Monday . I really like this layout and am going to have to use it again in the future. The 2nd challenge was for my friend Holly's blog, Inka Dinka Doodle, where she hosts Monday Stamps. The letter this week was 'U', and I only had 1 set that started with that letter, the Unfrogettable set. Funny thing was that when I took a break from making my frog card I went to mow the lawn and guess what I saw in my garden, jumping through my lettuce? Yep, a frog! The little guy was fast though--I tried to catch him and he hopped right into the fireweed. Oh well!

Here is my card:

Supplies used(All supplies Stampin'Up! unless otherwise noted):

Stamps-Unfrogettable

Paper-Whisper White,Soft Suede, Old Olive, Chocolate Chip, Bordering Blue, PP by Three Bugs In A Rug

Ink-StazOn Black, Real Red, Wild Wasabi, Soft Suede, Forest Foilage

Taking care of 3....

This card incorporates 3 challenges:
1.)Holly's Monday Stamp Challenge at Inka Dinka Doodle
2.)Christmas Stampin' All Year Long Challenge # 25
3.)Mojo Monday Week 95


The letter of the week on Holly's blog is the letter 'T', so I used the set Trim The Tree and then used this weeks layout sketch on Mojo Monday. On CSAYL we had to decorate both the front and inside of a Christmas card. This was a good one for me as I tend to leave my cards blank until the last moment. Last year all my Christmas cards were blank so I had to stay up late before mailing them/handing them out and put in a sentiment! I like to tailor my cards and their sentiments towards the personality of the person they're going too, so thats my main reason for leaving them blank. Some of my friends and family like silly little things, others get a more serious card.


Here is the card I came up with:

Supplies used(all supplies Stampin'Up! products unless otherwise noted):

Stamps: Trim The Tree, snowflakes from Trees Three, inside sentiment is misc stamp

Paper: Basic Grey Wassail PP, SU Bravo Burgundy, Always Artichoke,Very Vanilla

Ink: Always Artichoke, Crushed Curry, Bravo Burgundy,Metallic Silver

Accessories: Dimensionals,Bravo Burgundy ribbon

The Letter 'S'....

I'm playing catch-up , and once again its for Holly's Monday Stamps challenge on her blog Inka Dinka Doodle. Last week the letter was 'S' and so I chose the stamp set Scene In A Garden, a set I just had to have but hadnt touched since I got it, oops :(

Monday Stamps- 'R' Challenge

This week on Inka Dinka Doodle the Monday stamp challege is the letter 'R'. I saw that and thought, excellent, I know I must have a ton of sets that begin with the letter 'r'. WRONG! When I checked out my spreadsheet I was surprised to see that I only had 3 'R' sets, and 2 of them are alphabets. That left me with the set called 'Riveting'. I also ended up using a level 3 hostess set from the new StampinUp! catalog and a background stamp.Supplies used(all StampinUp supplies unless otherwise noted):
Stamps: Riveting, The More The Merrier, Fresh Fillers
Paper: Pink Pirouette, Cool Caribbean, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White
Ink: StazOn Black, Chocolate Chip, Pink Pirouette
Accessories: Ticket Corner punch, 1 1/4" circle punch, Pink Pirouette 5/8" striped ribbon, SU markers

Monday Stamps, just on Tuesday!

Even though its Tuesday I worked on Holly's Monday Stamps challenge, which can be found on her website . The letter this week is 'P' and I had quite a few sets to choose from. I ultimately went with the 'Perennial Favorites' set. I dont have a lot of cards that could be used for any occasion, so thats what I was trying to aim for with this card. I left the inside blank so down the road I can add whatever sentiment I need.

Supplies used(all supplies StampinUp unless otherwise noted):
Stamps-Perennial Favorites and Flannel Plaid
Paper-Mellow Moss, Basic Black, Very Vanilla
Ink-Versamark, Ruby Red, Summer Sun, More Mustard, Not Quite Navy

Monday Stamps

My friend Holly, of Inka Dinka Doodle , listed 'O' as the letter for Monday Stamps(formerly Sunday Stamps) this week. I had a few 'O' sets to choose from but went with 'Older And Wiser'. I cant believe I've never used this set before.It is so darn cute!
