Hello! 

I hope you all had a great weekend. It’s been really low key for me, which was a very welcome change to how busy I’ve been lately. I love spending time with friends and family, but there are also days when I just need to have nothing planned. Does anyone else need these moments? 

Since I did have some down time, I had time to make lots of cards. Here is one that I made (for the current Embellish Magazine challenge)….

As most of you know, I like to stamp my own patterned papers. It may be polka dots, argyle, damask, etc…. pretty much any stamp can be used to create your own papers. However, I must say, there ARE times when it’s nice to go the “easy” route and use printed papers. With the recent influx of cute ones recently, I’ve been known to pick up a few paper pads here and there. I’m so glad that the challenge today helped me actually USE some of them! :)

 Well, that’s all for today. I’ll talk with you all later!

Hi-ya, blog friends-

I have a card to share for the newest CAS-ual Fridays challenge. It’s hard to believe that it’s already at the 13th challenge!  This time around, the theme was to create a long card (measuring 4 x 9). I rarely ever create long cards, so this was a nice change. 

Since it IS CAS-ual Fridays, I kept it super duper simple. I think this card took about 7 minutes to make. The hardest part? Deciding which color to make the flowers! :)

Well, that’s all I have for today. I’ll be back soon; I have lots of other cards to share with you all. Oh, and don’t think I’ve forgotten about my giveaway. Since I was gone at CHA, I’ve been a little behind. I’ll hopefully have it in a few weeks! 

Have a great night! 

Hi-ya, blog friends! 

I’m back here in sunny Washington. I cannot even begin to tell you how happy I am to be home. Chicago and I just didn’t get along very well. In between feeling dizzy and having bouts of nausea, I also couldn’t get used to the muggy weather! Yuck, yuck, yuck! 

 

For today, I have a card that was based off of the current Lawnscaping Challenge #14: stamp a scene. I had such a fun time creating this card- the colors and the mix of DeNami and Lawn Fawn just makes me so happy!

Did you happen to notice the glittery rainbow? LOVE!  If you’ve been eying this stamp, I actually have a sweet little deal for you. Here’s a coupon code good for 10% off your whole order on the DeNami Design website!

Well, that’s all for today. Thanks so much for stopping by!  

 

Hello from {muggy} Chicago! 

I arrived a few hours ago for the big CHA SuperShow this weekend. If you missed the news, DeNami Design has a booth there, and I’ll be working in it! You can find us at Booth #2222. Hundreds of card ideas, all of the new stamps along with many of you old favorites, Make N Takes and of course, demos by Nami!  Hope to see you there….

Okay, now onto today’s card. I recently stumbled across a newer company, The Craft’s Meow. I had to pick up two of their sets- they were just calling my Copics! For this card I pulled out the set called “Happiness Is…” and created a card based off of the July challenge.

I had the hardest time trying to come up with a way to add a sentiment. After trying many different options, I finally decided to bring out some of my neglected vellum. Voila! I love the way it turned out. You can still see the pretty rose AND it adds a bit more elegance to the card. 

 

Thanks for stopping by today. Sending you all hugs…..
