Happy Birthday!

Hello, hello!

Rain rain, go away....

Oh, well - it's January - could be worse, right?

Colorista Fun...

Hello!

So happy that you dropped by today. It's winter!
Hope you are reading from someplace nice and warm.

Over the next few weeks, I'll be sharing some projects that I made for the January 10th Crafter's Companion show on HSN.  I had fun, especially since a lot of what I did included coloring.

For this project, I got out a Crafter's Companion coloring pad, and began coloring. As I was working,

it dawned on me that the coloring page could be 'split' into panels, for a really cool look. As I thought about panels, I remembered this Dollar Store tray that I had bought for the purpose of re-purposing!

Here is the end result:

Here are the products that I used:

Spectrum Noir 5 x 7 Colorista Coloring Pad 'Eastern Promises'

Spectrum Noir Colorista Markers

I'm so enjoying these coloring sheets!!!

Pop over to Crafter's Companion, and check out all of the beautiful coloring options!

Have a great weekend,

Inspiration Palette Challenge

Good morning!

Sorry this post is late - I just totally forgot it was Wednesday.  Having a holiday on a Monday does crazy things to this old brain!  Thank you big time to Shirley, who called to be sure that I was okay!

I'm back today with a new challenge for Repeat Impressions.

Our challenge this week is an inspirational palette - create with the photo or colors, or the theme...look at the beautiful inspiration that Wendy gave us to work with - sort of looks like it did here last week!

  

And, here's what I made using these Repeat Impressions Stamps:

3301-P Winter Moose

1105-E Thinking of You 

I love this Winter Moose.  It's such a serene image.  I send out a lot of cards to church friends and chemo angel buddies, so my favorite sentiments are things like the above Thinking of You.  Hope you like this new inspirational palette challenge!

Now it’s your turn! Create a card using the inspiration above, and link it up at The House that Stamps Built. Remember, your creation does not have to be made with Repeat Impressions stamps, but if you would like to include our designs we would love to see them! Plus, there’s an added bonus… you will get an additional entry in our random.org drawing for using our stamps in your submissions!

Please drop by and give our newest Rock Star, Donna, a warm welcome!!!

creation with you.  Hopefully, it will bring her a smile.

Here's what I made, using some fabulous Crafter's Companion supplies:

Thinking of you

Good morning!

I have a pretty card to show you today, made with products from Crafter's Companion.

I needed a card for someone at church who was just placed on hospice care.

Here's what I made...

Here are the supplies that I used:

Sara Signature Collection Love and Romance "Hello Beautiful" EZ Mount Rubber Stamp Set 
Shimmering Cardstock - Coastal Pearl
Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers: DG2, PL1, PL2
