Spring is here....


Happy Sunday to everyone. Today has been a great day for me. Beautiful and sunny and a Happy 37th Birthday to me. I like to think that I am getting wiser with age. HA ha ha.... :)
Some great challenges out there. I am so enjoying http://www.handstampedsentiments.blogspot.com/. I also tried another challenge from http://mirrorimage.typepad.com/. Had great fun with both of them. I used the colors Ruby Red, So Saffron and Old Olive. These colors are fantastic together. Thank you for looking and have a wonderful day. Smiles, Monica:)

You Rock


Well, another week has just sliped by me. My youngest daughter has been sick all week with a double ear infection, Yikes... I was trying to stay healthy and of course I got sick, Thank goodness it was mild. So, I finally got some time to slip away and play with some stamps. Yet, another great challenge from http://www.handstampedsentiments.blogspot.com/ This was my first time doing the faux metal. I think it's pretty cool. I enjoyed doing this challenge. I used Black as the base, then Holiday Lounge DSP (real red) backed on White. Then stamped with black and used Real Red markers. For the Faux Metal I used Silver embossing. Thank you and Happy Stamping. Smiles... Monica :)

OK, I could not decided. I had so much fun with these wonderful spring colors. I made another card using the same challenge form http://www.handstampedsentiments.blogspot.com/. On this one I went with a simple, clean look. I like the way they both came out. Hmmm......., who am I going to send these cards to. Thank you for looking. Smiles, Monica :)

Wow, this was truly a challenge for me. So many colors and after 2 days of thinking, I finally came up with a card. This was a lot of colors for me but I gave it a try. I was going more for a crisp clean look since there was many colors. The base is Kiwi Kiss, White backed with Not Quite Navy, I stamped on the white with Brilliant Blue, Bashful Blue, Glorious Green and Old Olive.

Thank you to http://www.handstampedsentiments.blogspot.com/ for another Challenge.

This was fun to do something I am not use to! :)
