DESIGNER'S CHOICE CHALLENGE AT REPEAT IMPRESSIONS

Hi blog friends!

I hope you're having a great week!  We're getting soggy and moldy here in New England with all the rain.  I hope our garden makes it through this stuff. 

One good thing about making cards is you can create your own sunny day with paper and ink.  LOL. 

Today, we're having a Designer's Choice Challenge at Repeat Impressions and it's Joy's turn to challenge us.  She's challenging us to create a card using 2 images and 1 sentiment.  How fun is this? 

Here's my card for Joy's challenge - I created my own scenic spot that reminds me of growing up in the Adirondack Mountains and seeing the mountain vistas everywhere.  I love the mountains! 

My two stamps are #629-I "Mountain Vista" and #3415 -I "Adirondack Chair".  My sentiment is #3905-I "Where We Love".  The clouds are dies from Memory Box. 

Please visit the other Rock Stars for even more exciting inspiration for Joy's challenge.

We hope you'll play along with us and create your own card using Joy's challenge of 2 images and 1 sentiment.

 

Upload your creation to your blog or online photo library, copy the link and head on over to The House That Stamps Built and link it up.  You'll then be entered to win a Repeat Impression Stamp.  If you use a Repeat Impression stamp on your card, you'll be entered in the drawing twice.  Woohoo!!! Come on over and play! 

Thank you for stopping by and thank you for your comments.  They make my day!

What If? Wednesday at Repeat Impressions

Hello blog friends!

I'm back with another fabulous sketch challenge for What If? Wednesday at Repeat Impressions aka The House That Stamps Built Blog. 

Wendy has come up with another fabulous sketch for us so we hope you'll join us in the challenge. 

I'm still in a patriotic frame of mind so used the red, white and blue color scheme to create this card.  I'm really giving the new Big Boys Toys stamp set some love and attention lately.  It's so much fun to ink up and stamp with. 

For this card I used two silhouette stamps, Big Boys Toys #9111-I, Bi-plane Silhouette, inking it with Distress Ink "Red Barn".  I then masked it and stamped the cloud #5105-I, Cloud Sil. (lg) Memento "London Fog" ink.  The stamping left a distressed look to the larger cloud, but I liked it as it added some texture to the cloud itself (or so I thought).  The sentiment is from the Big Boys Toys set too.  My bg dp is from the new Authentique "Glory" 6x6 paper pad. 

So head on over to The House That Stamps Built and play along with the Rock Stars.  You can get more inspiration from linking to their blogs.

REPEAT IMPRESSIONS STAMP OF THE WEEK

Hi blog friends! 

Happy Memorial Day!  
Today is the day we in the USA set aside to remember those who served in our military and gave their lives for the freedoms we cherish.

At the same time we honor those men and women and their families who are currently serving and continue to perserve those freedoms.

Please take some time today to reflect on freedom, what it means to you and the price paid to keep it.

Thank you!!

This week we're showcasing this fantastic sentiment stamp and since it's the season for graduations and weddings, this stamp works so well for cards.  I'm sure you will come up with some creative and fabulous ideas of your own.

Head on over to The House That Stamps Built and snag the code that Wendy is providing and get this fantastic sentiment stamp #3101-J and get creating something fabulous. 

For this card I was thinking "Graduation".  I used some legal pad dp and cut it, punched the three holes and rounded the corners before stamping the sentiment on my "page".   I then used DI "Antique Linen" to "age" the edges. 

I'm entering the above card on Lily Pad for the Simon Says Star Challenge


I wanted to create a totally different card with this stamp and am showcasing it over at Outlawz this week as my card for the CAS DT "What You Love" Challenge.
