Thanks for the Challenge - CHALLENGE WINNER AND GUEST DESIGNER SPOT!

Even though the blog is under construction, I'm still posting! I think it will be completed while I'm resting after gallbladder surgery next Thursday.   Future posts will have more project details, until then here is a creation for this week's Altenew's March Inspiration Challenge.

The majority of my stamps come from Altenew, I just LOVE the floral images!  The layered die cuts and layered stamping is to swoon over!  I was participating in the Altenew Educator Certification Program before Covid, but after giving up my studio for my daughter, I was not able to complete it.  BUT, I'm here now and will engage them soon to try and complete it.  For now, I'm just enjoying being back here being inspired and creating!

This was a difficult challenge for me, as I do NOT gravitate to these colors at all.  The beautiful florals just didn't seem to fit for me, but I will challenge myself to try again with them.  Instead I chose the classic Leaf Cluster stamp and die set as well as the Script Words die and Sentiment Strips.

The colors of the photos here are much darker than in person or on my camera....hopefully it's just my computer?

Have a colorful day!

Easter Skirt Inspiration

 Even though the blog is under construction, I'm still going to post! I have returned to my art studio after a hiatus since November 2019.   Future posts will have more details, until then here is a creation for this week's Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Easter/Spring.

This card is inspired by my Easter Sunday church skirt this year:

I love the simple classic look of blue and white.  Its crisp and fresh and reminds me of spring!  I used Spellbinders Four Petal Bloom Reflection etched die set...I HAD to have this...Its so beautiful....

 

Thanks for coming by, please come back soon to see the changes!

MFT Sketch Challenge 638

 Even though the blog is under construction, I'm still going to post! I have returned to my art studio after a hiatus since November 2019.   Future posts will have more details, but these cards are for the MFT Sketch Challenge 638.  I LOVE MFT Stamps, I have quite a few.  This stamp set and coordinating dies are retired...I will invest in new ones once I revisit the sets I have...until then, enjoy this great set and my creations!

I made 3 cards, as both our daughters will have a tough week at school, and a friend is completing her training test as well.  They are all strong women and definitely 'got this'!
