March Blogging Friends Blog Hop!

Hey there stampers,

Can you believe it is March already?  According to our little season predictors (here in Ontario, we have Wiarton Willie) spring is almost here!  I am very done with winter, so I really hope he is right.

A new month also means a new blog hop with my blogging friends!  I love our hops!  This months hop is featuring Sale-a-bration items.  I created two cards for the hop using my top 2 favourite stamp sets in the Sale-a-bration catalogue.  Can you guess which two they are?.......

Yep.  The first is the Hey Chick stampset.  I mean common - living in farm country or not this one is super cute!  All of these images are 'da bomb' as my kids would say, but what really caught my attention was the 'hey, chick!' sentiment lol.  Makes me giggle every time.

I kept my card simple, focusing on the image, the greeting and the colouring of the chick  as the main focus. I used our new stampin'up! coloured pencils and blended the colours using my Aqua painter.

My second card features my other favourite stampset.  It is the fun lovin' ice cream/ taco/hot dog truck.  The possibilities are endless with this set!  I went with some bright, bold and fun colours.  Again, I coloured the image with the stampin'up! pencils and Aqua painter.  

Sale-a-bration ends march 31st so if you would like to add these free stamp sets to your collection, head on over to my Canadian on-line store.  

Be sure to hop on through all of the bogs to see their fabulous creations.  Up next is Rick Adkins. You can click on the picture below or follow the links on the list at the bottom of the post.  

Happy Stampin'

Birthday and The Paper Players #189

Hello there my stampin' friends! 

 

I have a quick post for you today.  It is a card I had made a while back but thought it needed a little something before I showed it to you.  Do you ever have any of those...you have an idea in your head, you put it on paper but it still isn't quite right?  Well, here is an example of that for me!

 

 

 

 

I wanted to use the hexagon punch - it was a part of an old challenge - and well, I couldn't get it to come together.  When I added the Bitty Butterfly punch and some sponging it REALLY made a difference!  Sometimes, life just needs some sponging! 

 

 

And a luck would have it, I received a reminder e-mail from The Paper Players about this week's challenge - a tic-tac-toe.  My card fits into the match of Birthday card, punch and ribbon or twine!  Make sure you stop by to see all of the great creations people have come up with!

 

I hope my card inspires you to plow through the ones that don't turn out exactly as you had planned!

 

Happy stampin'
