I used zero stamping.  It doesn't happen much, but it did this time!  I used some fun DCWV glitter paper, some Pure Poppy SU! patterned paper and black cardstock plus some gorgeous SU! ribbon that I bought at a garage sale a while back.

Thanks for coming by and taking a peek!  Don't forget to say hi to the other gals on the DT and please play along with us this week!  Merry stamping! :)

Cutting it close...

I stamped my scene onto patterned paper to give a bit of texture and I LOVE how it worked out!  To see how I created the butterflies, you'll have to check out Technique Tuesday! ;)

I went TOTALLY CAS on this card, but you don't have to!  It's a card for my DH--so therefore it's also a "Spread the L-O-V-E" card...can't remember when I last mentioned that! ;)  I can't wait to see you take on it!  And if you'd like to see some absolutely amazing cards, go and say hi to the other DT gals!  Happy stamping! :)

I hope you come and play along with us!  And please stop by and say hello to the fabulous DT gals we've got--they're all so talented and you won't be sorry!  Merry stamping everyone!!! :)

Get ready...

...to not hear from me for a while!  IF I get time, I'll be posting some posts, but I won't have a ton of time for the next few weeks to post regularly, other than the scheduled DT post (hopefully they post...fingers crossed).  Okay, so there you have it!  I've got some cards I HAVE to show you before I leave, though!

Here's the first one~

For these fabulous challenges~

Addicted to Stamps: Make Your Mark

(Use markers--I used mine to color my stamp!)

Waste Not Wednesday: Use Your Stash

(I've used up some of my washi tape, scraps, & rhinestones!)

The Paper Players: Tic Tac Toe

(I used the Circles, Dry Embossing, Punches line.)

I had the idea to use lots of color to showcase my SU! markers and this was the perfect stamp!  I grabbed my washi tape and couldn't figure out how to use it until I realized it would make a fun fake ribbon bottom!  So, that's what I used it for!  Hope you like it--this card was super fun to make and I LOVE it! :)

Second card~

{PIN}spirational Challenges: Photo Inspiration

House of Gilli: Fall Colors

Simon Says Stamp & Show: What do you say?

This one totally had a mind of it's own...my original thought was to create some sort of brick wall or something, but then I spied this stamp set from Prima (not sure the name) and it had this wonderful border stamp and I KNEW I should use it!  Just a bit of bling and then I turned it into an aperture card...because that's fun!  Voila! ;)

Thanks for stopping by--I'll miss you all while I'm away but will look forward to seeing you when I return from my sister's wedding!  Happy stamping--and THANK YOU for being here! :)
