Happy Hump Day everyone!! I can't believe it is the middle of the week already again! Wow! Time Flies!
Anywho...it is time for a new challenge at Your Next Stamp. We had such a great time viewing all the Thank you or Thanksgiving Challenge cards. This week's hostess is the fabulously talented and sweet Wendy. Wendy's YNS challenge is to "Grow your own" or to make your own flowers on your card or project. While it is not required to use a YNS challenge for the challenge, we would love to see them if you have them and you may only enter one NON YNS creation per challenge. You can link your creations here. This challenge lasts two weeks.
For my creation I used the YNS Just Swimming By stamp set. I colored her with copics and added some sparkle. The dp is a combo from my scrap Stash and from retired SU paper. I used two dies from the Fancy tags (spellbinders to create my sentiment panel).I made a ribbon flower. It has been a while since I made one of these.
For more inspiration for this challenge, please visit my dt sisters:

Today is also another Stamp and Create Product Spotlight. This week's Product Spotlight is My Heart Stamps for you!! All these images will be on sale for 25% off. If you want these stamps, now is the time to get them at cheaper prices. After the stock on these stamps are out, Lacey will no longer be carrying them at Stamp and Create store, so the sale is on for this week or until supplies last, whatever comes first.
Today I created a shaker card using the Puddle Duckie (My Heart Stamps for you) image from Stamp and Create. This particular stamp is now out of stock, but there are several more images with ducks similar to this one.
I challenged myself to create an all white card with only color on the image. I added stitching, tear drop embroidered white lace, and kaiser craft "snow" pearls. The bottom is punched with a Martha Stewart border punch but it is hidden by the lace a bit. The background is embossed with the perfect perennials die from Cuttlebug.

Happy Friday Everyone!! I can't believe it is Friday already!! Wow!! Time really does go so fast. Still can't believe summer is over and fall is here!!
Today I have a Wags n Whiskers challenge to share with you. This week's challenge is hosted by
Emma. Emma's challenge is to use diamonds and pearls on your creation.
I decided to challenge myself even further by making an all white creation except for my image. This image is Wags n Whiskers- Say a prayer from the Spring time fun collection illustrated by Crissy Armstrong. I paper pieced her with Parisian Breeze paper retired from Stampin Up. The background is embossed and I added some lace and pearls. The image is framed with the Spellbinders Beaded Oval die. Rhinestones were added for the "diamonds". The layout uses the Midnight Madness sketch:

Today is the Stampin Sisters in Christ Challenge this week and I am the host. I chose one of my fave verses for this week which relates so well today the First day of fall here in the USA!! Happy Fall!!
The verse I chose is:
Ecclesiastes 3:1 To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven.
If you are interested in seeing the whole devotional I wrote, please stop by the Stampin in Sisters challenge blog here. I will give you just a piece of my thoughts here on this post.
When many read of this verse they think the seasons of the earth...I truly believe it means the seasons of life...those times of joy, sickness, health, sorrow...and etc. I sometimes don't understand why some people have to go through such pain and suffering, especially those who live their entire lives for Him. There really is no explanation for it other than this verse. God has planned a time for everything to further His kingdom. He uses the situations in our lives not only to shape us but to shape the lives of others as well. We will never know why my dear friend Ruby or Randi is suffering with cancer and what good God plans to make out of this horrific disease but we do know that God is there with them as we pray to Him. Being a Christian does not mean a life without suffering or pain but it does mean you are never alone with out God's guiding and comforting hand. God's plans are not always ours. I would much rather travel the road of life with God than without, wouldn't you?
The challenge this week at Stampin Sisters in Christ is:
May a card or project using fall colors (mambo melon, red, orange, yellow, green, brown) and or leaves.
Here is my take on the challenge:
For my creation I used a sentiment (Scripture Collection 1) and border stamp (Brocade Borders) from Our Daily Bread Designs. This week's sponsor! You can have a chance to win a gift certificate to stamps for $15 if you participate in this week's challenge!
This creation uses the sketch from Midnight Madness this week.
card recipe:
Paper: SU Urban Garden
Accessories: Felt stick on leaves, green silk ribbon, Lacey squares Spellbinders, flourished pearls

Happy Saturday Everyone!! I hope you are enjoying the weekend. It is suppose to be a beautiful day here!!
Today I am popping in to share this week's Shining the Light challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs.
This week's Challenge:
This week the team is challenging you to make a clean and white creation without any dp. The only colors should be embellishments or the coloring of your images.
While it is not required to use Our Daily Bread Designs images and sentiments on your creations, we would love to see them if you have them.As a way of recognizing those who do use Our Daily Bread Designs stamps, we will again be choosing 1 to 2 creations to spotlight for our Shining the Light Award. In order to qualify for this award, however, you must use Our Daily Bread stamps and have your submission added to Mr. Linky by September 23 at 8 p.m. EST. If you upload your creations to Splitcoast Stampers or any other online gallery, please use the keyword is ODBDSLC30. When creating your posts on blogs please include a link to the challenge.
Here is my take on the challenge:
For my creation I used the Blessed Christmas and Sing to the Lord stamp sets from Our Daily Bread Designs (the sentiment is from Sing to the Lord). I colored my image with copics and added silver baubles for my colors against the white. The image is framed with Lacey Circle Spellbinders and the Fleur De Lis Spellbinders. A little embossing and some lace and white ribbon and my creation is complete.

Happy Friday Everyone!! It's Friday and so it is time for a new challenge at Wags n Whiskes!!! Our challenge this week is hosted by my uber talented and sweet Dt sister, Sharon.
Sharon would like you to create a:
Birthday Card.
As always, you must use a WnW stamp or digi on your card to be entered into the drawing for ONE FREE Wags 'n Whiskers STAMP OF YOUR CHOICE! This really is easy peasy since there are even many digis available at Wags n Whiskers perfect for this theme!
For my creation I decided to make a birthday card and tag for my niece. Next week I go to Boston for her Birthday party. Lyndsey loves pink and purple so I decided to use those colors for my creations. I used the WNW image Angel Whispers.
Anywho...I colored my image with copics and added some stitchings... and some embossing on my spring card. The ribbon is pink silk.

Hello Everyone!! Can't believe it is Thursday already and it is only one more day before the weekend! Wow! Times flies!!
Today I have two creations to share with you. The first is for today's Divine Diva Inspiration Challenge. Lori sent each of the dt this photo.
I was inspired by the orange twigs and the white background. For my image, I used Echoes of Kindness from Stampin Up. I embossed my white background with a Cuttlebug die. I love how the image has an autumn feel to it with the Pumpkin Pie color. I stitched around the edges of the card and used a decorative stitch around the image as well. The lace is from a RAK from my dear friend Sabrina. Thanks Sabrina. The ribbon is May Arts Silk ribbon. The punch for the decorative is a Martha Stewart Flower Vine Punch (some of the punching is hidden (it was too wide for this card).
For more inspiration, please visit my dt sisters:
Anne
Lori
Donna
Julie
Kerri

IMPORTANT STORE INFORMATION FROM WHIMSY!! The Whimsy store website is having a major server issues.... Please read the letter below for more information.
Attached is a letter from Denise at Whimsy. Please read...
Good Morning,
As many of you know, the Whimsy Stamps Online Store has been offline for the past few days, as we have been upgrading our hosting server to support all of our great customers, and the increased demand we have been experiencing over the past few months. Please accept our sincerest apology for any inconvenience this has caused you. We greatly appreciate your patience and support.
Our tech support team has been feverishly working to make the transition, but an issue that occurred with our store during the transition has forced us to do a full restore of our database. The good news is they will be able to get us back online - the bad news is it may take as many as 7 to 10 days to do so. Again, we apologize for the inconvenience and promise that while we may not be online, we are still working to serve our customers.
All orders placed before the server switch have been shipped and/or are pending shipment. We are waiting on custom orders which should be here on Friday, September 17th. Those orders will be shipped immediately. If you have ordered digital stamp products and you did not have access to retrieve those files, please email us at whimsystamps@gmail.com and we will promptly send you the files via email.
Lastly, if anyone would like to place an order while we are offline, you can email us at whimsystamps@gmail.com and we will send you an invoice through PayPal and process your order as soon as possible. Digital stamp orders can be filled via email and I can ship out rubber stamp products. If you are willing to email orders, we are more than willing to provide you with the best customer service possible to get you what you need.
We do have many exciting events and promotions planned for the coming weeks at Whimsy and we are determined to not let those plans be affected by this…let's just call it… a mess! We will continue to bring our customers new digital and rubber stamps and we will be back better than ever! Please hang in there with us, check for updates on Facebook and our Whimsy Inspirations Blog. We will post any new updates as soon as they are available.
Thank you sincerely for your continued support and patronage.
Sincerely,
Denise

Happy Hump Day everyone!! I hope you are all having a great week. It has been gorgeous here lately and I am trying to take advantage and get things done and enjoy this cool weather.
I just love Fall!!
Anywho...it is time for a new challenge at Your Next Stamp. We had such a great time viewing all the anything goes challenge. This week's hostess is the fabulously talented and sweet Sylvia. Sylvia's YNS challenge is to make a Thank you or Thanksgiving challenge!! While it is not required to use a YNS challenge for the challenge, we would love to see them if you have them and you may only enter one NON YNS creation per challenge. You can link your creations here.
Here is my take on the challenge using the adorable Girlfriends image from Your Next Stamp. The sentiment is computer generated. The tree branches are created with a fern stamp from the Stampin up Touch of Nature set. The image is colored with copics. I decided it would be fun to create a Spring Card since I had never made one of these before. I love challenging myself to something new. It keeps things interesting.
Here is my take on the Thank you or Thanksgiving challenge:
Card Recipe:
stamps: Girlfriends image from Your Next Stamp,
Stampin up Touch of Nature
Paper: Bitter Chocolate, Baja Breeze, Baja Breeze dp, SU Parisian Breeze dp
Accessories: SU Oval punches, MS Butterfly punches, silk ribbon, lace, prima roses, Spellbinders Laced Squares

*********************************

Happy Sunday Everyone!! I hope you are all enjoying this beautiful weekend!! Today is a new Stampin Sisters in Christ challenge!
Today's challenge is hosted by the sweet and talented Peggysue!! Peggysue chose the verse:
John 1o:1o "I have come that they may have life and that they may have it more abundantly."
What a comforting verse we have knowing that He came to earth to be like us without sin and able to give what only He can give ~ eternal life and the comfort that He lives on us. Without the Christmas story of Jesus birth and the Easter story of how He died for our sins, there would be no hope for us.
Thank you Jesus for coming to die for us.
Today I reflect on September 11, 2001 when our nation was struck with tragedy. What a tragedy that affected so many. How awful!! What hope do we get from this TRAGEDY! For those who have accepted Christ's gift, they have the comfort of knowing that they will one day be reunited with their loved ones they lost in eternity. I pray for all those affected in this tragedy and our nation for its loss!
Peggysue's challenge to us at Stampin Sisters is:
"Use real or faux stitching somewhere on your card/project,"
Here is my take on the challenge:
For my creation I used the digi image Little school Books illustrated by Meljens available at Whimsy stamps to create a back to school fall back pack for my cousins daughter who is just beginning school. Isn't it just a fun school time image. I added faux stitching or line around my image for this weeks challenge. The dp is retired SU paper that I love (Haiku!)
For more inspiration, please visit my dt sisters:
Grace, Linda, Lisa, Peggysue, Randi, Meisje, Rebecca, Patti and Cindy
