Valentine Heart Window Card


Hello!
I created these cards 
for a recent class I held at my home.

They are a simplified version of this card,
which I had created for the latest challenge
over at our Simply Stamp It Facebook Group.

I replaced stamping the zig zag pattern 
from Work of Art
with a square of Designer Paper 
from Painted Blooms.

We had a lot of fun making our cards in class
and I love how you can get different effects
simply by changing the color of your spatters!

Craft Room Re-Organization & Backorder Report


Hello
Happy Monday!

I have come to the conclusion that I am a tad bit crazy :)

With our family vacation to Disney World fast approaching,
I am trying to catch-up on all of my obligations for the month... 
all in a few days :)

My 4 submissions for the Splitcoast Stampers Creative Crew Challenges 
are due while I am away, I have Challenges to design 
for our new Facebook Group: Simply Stamp It, 
I have a class at my home on Friday, 
I would like to have some little treats & cards prepared for my GrandBabies 
for when they arrive on Saturday, I need to start packing for our trip, 
and, as if that is not enough, I decided that I simply could not work 
in the disaster my craft room has become any longer
 so... I started a re-organization project that I hope will allow me 
to feel more at peace in there and will spark my creativity and let it flow!  
It has become exhausting to even walk into my room!  
Do you know that feeling? Can you relate?

Here are some photos of the mess I have been walking into for months!

When I found myself stamping on top of stacks of unmounted, 
un-cataloged stamp sets, I knew enough was enough 
and I needed to do something about the mess!  






As you can see, I have my work cut out for me!
Despite the chaos, I have actually managed to create 2 new projects 
and I will be photographing them so that I can share them with you soon!

I will also post updated photos of my Craft Room Re-Organization as it progresses.
Perhaps my mission will help you with some re-organizing of your own :)

I'll be back soon!
See you then, 
Mary

Gorgeous Art Valentine



Hello!
Today's project was created for the latest challenge over at Simply Stamp It (the Facebook Group).
Our Challenge this week is "Window Stamping"!
There is still time to join us!
Just hop on over and post your creations!


It also fits in with one of our current 
Splitcoast Stampers Creative Crew 
February challenges 
that you can play along with here.

I wanted my card to bright and cheerful.
I chose Melon Mambo as my launching point 
and grabbed my Color Coach to come up the additional colors.  I love my Color Coach for giving me that helping hand I occasionally need :)

The Color Coach suggested 
Tempting Turquoise and Daffodil Delight 
so I went with those.
I wanted to create the look of Designer Paper 
behind my heart, 
so I went with stacking the zig zag 
from Work of Art.  
I LOVE how my card came out, 
I hope you do too!
