Stamp Simply Challenge #33 - Think Spring

Keyword ssnotime33 - There is no time limit. You can play this challenge and upload your project at Splitcoast and/or your Blog, anytime at all!  You (and that means anyone and everyone, blogger or not!) can play as many times as you like!!!  The point is to keep it simple, quick and have fun!!!  Please link back here.

The challenge this week is to think spring — use pink and green in your card and a flower.  Any kind of flower will do — stamped or an embellishment.  I am sooooo ready for warmer temps and sunshine — hoping this will help!!!

Can’t wait to see what you all do!!!  Just have fun with it!!!  As always, try to stick with our overall theme to *stamp simply*. 

Sorry, but I have no sample today.  Jan Marie arrived today, we organized and packed the vehicles  and I made 2 more tablecloths tonight, and we are off in the morning to do Flourishes first ever road show — the Sayner Spring Stampede.   So, if anyone is going to be in Sayner, WI this weekend, we’ll see you there!

Here are some samples:

Check out Julie Koerber’s sample. 

Check out Dee Jackson’s sample.

Check out Tammy Hershberger’s sample

Check out Jennifer Buck’s sample.

Check out Janine Orchard’s sample.

Check out Becky Oehlers’ Sample.

Oldies but Goodies

I’m just checking in to make sure you all know I haven’t deserted you — even though I haven’t had as much as usual to upload in the last few weeks.  It has been super busy getting ready for the show that I am doing, along with Jan Marie, for Flourishes this weekend in Sayner, WI — the Sayner Spring  Stampede – here we come!!!

I have prepped well over 200 cards, bagged them into kits, supervised the making of Flourishes very first on-the-road display (made by my son, Ben), made display boards for cards, sewn skirting and tablecloths, etc., etc., etc.  Jan Marie arrives here tomorrow (Thursday), we take off for Wisconsin on Friday morning, set up Friday afternoon, teach a class to 48 on Friday night, and the show is all day Saturday.  Then we head back here on Saturday night.  Needless to say, I think we will be tired by then!!!  Gee, I’m tired already and we haven’t even started.  We’ll try to get some pictures to share with you next week!

So, in light of all that, I’m doing an Oldies but Goodies post tonight.  This card was done about a year ago and it uses all SU product, but it still has that bit of simple elegance and the flourishy design that I so love!  Here it is:

All details of this card can be viewed on my SCS upload back in May, 2007.   The interesting detail here is all the piercing - I LOVE to pierce, and just didn’t feel like stopping — LOL!!!

For those of you who liked the SU Pomegranate and Chocolate ribbon that came out for a while the end of last  year — are you aware that this exact ribbon is made by May Arts and is available in a number of colors from Flourishes.  You can check it out here.  I LOVE this ribbon and I use it often in many different colors!!!  Just thought you might like to know!  And I see a Champagne color that I haven’t tried yet — hmmmm, we’ll have to do something about that!!!

Thanks so much for stopping in — and the Stamp Simply Challenge is still scheduled for Friday morning, as usual.  I’ll try to get a sample made, but if not, I am so thankful for my 6 fabulous team members providing samples each week — thank you girls!!!  And I won’t give you too many hints, other than to say that this is one of the ultra simple, anyone can do it, challenges!!!!  Talk to you soon!
