DESIGNER'S CHOICE CHALLENGE AT REPEAT IMPRESSIONS

Greetings, blog friends!!!!  

I hope you all had the opportunity to get in on the "Bottoms Up" release blog hop last Thursday.  What fun that was!  Congratulations to Patty....she won the whole enchilada!!!  Woohoo!  Thank you all for joining in on the hop.  I appreciate all your comments on my cards and I know my Rock Star Teamies appreciate your stops and comments on there blogs too.  

Today we're here to play along with our Rock Star Teamie, Joy Hadden who is challenging us to create a baby card.  Babies just make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, and I just love, love, love, holding them and snuggling.  Just the thought of it has me feeling gooey.  (Babies have their own incredible power!  LOL).  

Without further blah, blah, blah....I took on Joy's challenge and here is my card.  

I'm sure those of you who follow my blog have seen me use this stamp (RI #1607-I) before...that would be because I LOVE this baby image.  I love it's versatility.  Like so many RI stamps...they are extremely playful.  The sentiment is RI #4116-F "New Arrival".    

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Here are the links to my Teamies for more inspiration with Joy's challenge.

We hope you'll join the challenge.  You can get all the details at The House That Stamps Built Blog.

DESIGNER'S CHOICE CHALLENGE AT REPEAT IMPRESSIONS!

Hello blog friends!  

Over at The House That Stamps Built there's a new designer's choice challenge and you're going to have some fun with this one....guaranteed!  

Rock Star, Deonna has challenges us to create a "monochromatic card", which means sticking with one color, tone, hue of color.  Super fun and creative way to use up scraps, try new layouts, play with colors you may not like or have picked for a card before or just create with your favorite color....join Deonna and the RI Rock Stars. 

You can head on over to THE HOUSE and get all the instructions and details and see all the great cards from the RI Rock Stars.  

Here's the card I created for Deonna's challenge.  It was made with one of my favorite RI stamps #1401-B "Portland Head Light".   I used the Triple Stamping Technique to create this card.  

This technique is not easy, but it creates such a unique effect on a card.  Give it a try!  It's all about fun.  

Check out my Rock Star Teamies for some incredible inspiration for Deonna's challenge.
