Don't know what you got til it's gone......

UUGGGHHH......I just deleted all that I had typed out.  Well, here we go again and THIS time I won't delete it all.....LOL

What I was trying to say earlier, before I deleted it all, was that I did not know what I had till it was gone and no longer available.  I get so caught up in all the NEW and CURRENT products that I completely forget about all the super cool papers and stamp sets that make their debut for a short time only.

Such as the paper pack and stamp set that I have used to create these cards.  The papers are from a CTMH campaign that came out a while back called "Serendipity" and ONE of the stamp sets that I used came from a card kit campaign called "Just Because".  While I LOVED both of the specials, I grew tired of them during the month that they debuted and had not thought of them since......

WHEW almost deleted it all again.....I really need to stop typing and go do some laundry.....LOL

Even though the cards are fairly simple, I thought they turned out pretty sweet!

Supplies used are:
Paper: Serendipity, Chocolate, Bamboo and Colonial White Textured CS
Stamps: Thank You, Just Because, Boutique Borders, Childhood Portrait
Embellishments: Chocolate and Colonial White Ribbon, Bitty Sparkles, Basic Buttons, Chocolate and Colonial White Waxy Flax, and White Hemp
Tools: Wishes card program for the cutting dimensions and directions for the workshop

Thanks SO much for taking the time to stop by and check out my latest creations!

I hope that I have inspired you to dig through your craft supplies and pull out those long forgotten papers, embellishments and stamp sets and use them!  You might be surprised at the treasures that you will find!

Happy Scrapping and Stamping!  Stay safe this holiday weekend too.......

Mojo Monday Sketch using Color me Monday color combo

WOO HOO!!  I am SO excited that not only have I created a card for the Mojo Monday sketch challenge, but I used the color combo from Jeanette Lynton's Color Me Monday color combo!!!  Not to mention that I used what I have and pulled out some B&T from the Free Spirit paper pack, which is no longer a current product.   That was actually a HUGE step for me.  I usually don't break out the retired papers to use on my current projects.  Guess I just like to showcase the current products that CTMH has to offer......

SO here it is......  The colors used are Outdoor Denim, Indian Corn Blue, Cranberry and Creme Brulee.  I cheated a bit and used a bit of Honey Ink on the Creme Brulee CS to ink the embossed lines AND the B&T paper uses Honey too. 

Supplies used are all CTMH

Paper: Free Spirit, Outdoor Denim CS, Creme Brulee CS, Indian Corn Blue CS

Stamp Set: Childhood Portrait

Inks used: Creme Brulee, Outdoor Denim, Indian Corn Blue, Honey

Embellishments: Cranberry Ribbon, Outdoor Denim Brads and Outdoor Denim Ribbon

Tools used: Paper Trimmer with scoring blade to create lines on CS

Thanks so much for stopping by!!  

I hope that I have inspired you to participate in a challenge or two!  This was a fun one for me and I look forward to the next one......

Happy Scrapping and Stamping!!
