Sunshine Ombre Stencil Music

I really wanted to start playing with my new stencils, so I was excited for this challenge at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog, then I noticed the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge,
to use the Ombre effect. There is also a challenge over at Frilly and Funkie, (sponsored by The Funkie Junkie Boutique ) and their challenge was to create a project related to music.

When I was a young child, my mother used to tell me about when I was two and my brother was three and they would stand us up on a table and have us sing 'You are my sunshine' which was quite popular way back then.

I had a stamp which I had not used (I've been quite the slacker lately) so I thought this would be a perfect combination.

I have one more card to post with the same challenges, but one has the sentiment on a ribbon instead of a stamp.

Thanks for stopping by!

Miss all the fun...

I made this for a sweet young lady celebrating her 21st Birthday...she likes vintage so this fit her perfectly.  I love Graphic 45 and tend to hoard my Graphic 45 supplies, but she's been dating my youngest son for almost 3 years and she's a pretty cute kid!  I do like the way my re-purposed 'netting' looks like the netting from a hat in days gone by.

I'm also submitting this one for the Anything Goes Challenge over at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

No Place Like Home

Another one for the Simon Says Stamp-Wrap It Up Challenge...this one is to welcome some of our new neighbors into the neighborhood...some yummy pumpkin bread from Kneaders Bakery.. 

A Little Yummy

A little 'Thank You' treat for some friendly neighbors who welcomed us into our new neighborhood...thought this made a great tag for the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge to 'Wrap it Up'.

Thanks for looking!

Monster Treat Bag

This is just a quick little treat bag for Halloween next week.  The challenge this week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge is for Monster Bash...and for Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge is to Wrap it Up, so I thought I'd combine the two!  Don't those worms look Yummy?

Dragonfly Vine Birthday

This began as a Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge to use Watercolor, so I dug up my Watercolor Crayons and gave it a shot, which took me a while and then I didn't finish in time for the Monday Challenge...but I did use the Wednesday Challenge, Simon Says Stamp-Color Inspiration: love the colors, I wish I had more time to play, I'd enter again!

Simon Says Stamp is also showcasing Stampendous this week so I used this Dragonfly Vine...can't get enough of this one!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Birthday Nevermore

It has been a really long time since I've posted a card...but the house is finally coming together and I would feel guilty if I didn't make a card for my new daughter-in-law's birthday.  I asked my son what colors and themes she likes and found that since her birthday is in October, she really likes Halloween theme and orange.  I used my cell phone to take this picture so the colors don't show up as vividly as I'd hoped, but I was pleased with how the card turned out. I love the Raven Background Stamp from Stampendous.

I intentionally didn't use any Designer Paper so I could enter this in the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge No Designer Paper.
