Stampin' Bee #85

I did the challenge for the Stampin' Bees #85, which was snowflakes. I used Mark's Finest Papers' Bells on Bobtail Ring set. I added some paper punched snowflakes and a pearl snowflake button. The flower soft added a little textured snow on the picture. The dp is from Cloud nine and the cardstock for the card base is SU's always artichoke.

Stampin' Bees #79

I decided on this wonderful fall day to participate with the Stampin' Bees today for their fall challenge. All papers are from Mark's Finest Papers, the dp is from Indian Summer by Basic Grey. The trees are a sneak peek at a new set called A Walk in the Woods from Mark's Finest Papers. I added some puffy stickers and a lovely brown ribbon.

Stampin' Bees #73

Vicky's challenge today for the Stampin' Bees was to make a square card with a western theme. This paper I got last month when I visited Stamp San Antonio's new store. It is really cowGIRL paper but thought I would make it work with the colors in a sunset. I used MFP's crackle stamp along with the cowboy set. I did some direct to paper with the ink pads and also some sponging. Since the dp is double sided and I loved the plaid side as well as the western print, I decided to fold back the corner to reveal the underside. This poor cowboy out on that hot plains is a pretty good representation of the hot temperatures we have been experiencing in my part of Texas. The background cardstock is hazelnut tan from Mark's Finest Papers. I love it.

Mr. Squirrel is here for fall

This little squirrel is a part of a new stamp set that will be released in September from Mark's Finest Papers. I think you are going to love it along with the cute sentiments that are part of the set. I did this card for the Stampin' Bee's challenge this week to use a diecute, a circle and a flower. This rhinestone flower was one of those great $1 finds at Michael's. I love their $1 bins. I can always find a useable embellishment there. Happy stampin' to you, and hope you are looking forward to all those wonderful fall projects and fabulous colors the season brings.
