Actually, I have just finished up some severe work deadlines and I have just rewarded myself with some time in my stamp room! Yesterday morning I grabbed a cup of coffee and my laptop and logged on to SCS to see what kind of challenges they had out there! While I've only played a few times, I really love the Featured Stamper challenge. I love looking and being inspired by other people's work. It is just so refreshing! So, I got Ink-e! That is Emily's screen name for SCS and she was this week's Featured Stamper! (FS89)
THIS is the card that inspired me. I loved the monochromatic look, the layout, well, pretty much everything! To change this up, instead of blue, I chose a black and white combo!
I used different stamps too and then, I added some bling! The Stamps were Spring Ephemerals (Flourishes), Rummage Bin (Cornish Heritage Farms) for the background flourish image and the saying, "Friend," was from the Flourished Words set from Flourishes! Add some sheer ribbon, some Hodge Podge Hardware and some pewter self stick pearls and you're done!If you need some inspiration, you should really take a trip to Emily's gallery. She has some great cards and some fun layouts too! I had fun just taking a peek at all her recent creations!
I'm am off to go on a cleaning binge! My mom is coming tomorrow and I have to ready the place for the "Queen!" LOL! Just kiddin' ma! Actually, who doesn't want to roll out the red carpet for their mom! ;-)
Until tomorrow!

Julie Just Beautiful!!!!
That's a beautiful card, Julie. I'm happy for you that you got to get into your craft room and play. Between following the blogs of so many talented stampers and then stamping, I could live in my room if I had the time. But since I don't, I enjoy whenever I get to be in there. Have fun with your mom.
looking for challenges? I have a hard time believing you had free time! :) I'm glad you did because the card is wonderful! Have fun with your mom. Tell her hello for me!
Absolutely beautiful!
Finally no holiday stuff - THANK YOU! This is REALLY pretty, Julie. Hope you get things neat and tidy for the Rubber Maid, too. The way she sounds, though, it won't matter a bit as long as she gets to see the kids. Have fun!
Hey, Jules! Let's stampaholic day a huge batch of cards for RMPat to gift Children's Hospital upon her return home. We totally enjoy stamping with her when she's in town! Keep Looking Up!
