Sundays are for Stampin' - September 27th

Hello there, and welcome to another edition of Sundays are for Stampin' - and the final Sunday in September!! Wow, nearly October!

You've probably been able to tell already that I love Halloween, but in case you forgot =), here's another project I'd like to share with you:

This card is the result of a challenge to use die cuts and punches, but Nesties don't count. You'll see here that I've used a couple Martha Stewart punches - I loved this excuse to use the cool runny gooey border punch! If you visit Tina's blog often, like I do, then you'll probably recognize the sketch behind my card, take a look here!

Once again I turned to the wonderful two-step tree to make this creation, though this time I focused less on the tree aspect and more on the swirly curly branches!

So the heat-embossed swirly-ness was actually a happy accident. For some very odd reason I heat-embossed the stamping with BLACK embossing powder instead of white. Turns out, it's perfect as a silhouette behind the bridal embossing!

Thought I'd share with you one of the playful things I added to this card:

In the embossed cat's face I just thought it'd be fun to add some whimsical brads for the cat's eyes!! I'm glad you dropped by to check out the blog and see another Halloween creation! New Release Wednesday is almost here!!! Just a little over a week, I can't wait!!!

And before you go, please scroll down to see Linda's flower monkey - so very cute!

Thanks for reading and have a very blessed Sunday!!

Sundays are for Stampin' - September 20th

Hello there, and welcome to another edition of Sundays are for Stampin'!! Wow was our Saturday ever full with family time!! By some miracle we were all up and awake at 7:30am, so we spent the whole day together, the latter part out running errands. Wow is it ever a blessing to strike up conversations with our kids! Talking to the kids and having hubby snuggly time - now those are heavenly!!

If you followed along the Royal Wednesday blog hop on 9/16, hopefully you hopped all the way through to catch the informative blog posts and inspirational projects! And if you happen to somehow recall the Alien Royal Wednesday boo boo, my eyes completely skipped over the 9/16 color challenge that Maria posted for us in our forum...I managed to leap forward in time and create this week's Royal Wednesday project, thinking I was ahead of the game and everything.

Here's the card I would have posted if I'd read our challenges more carefully:

The two-step tree stamp set?? They really are just some of the best stamps I have...truly love their look and versatility! And of course the Take a Journey greetings!

The 'Wherever you go,..." sentiment is absolutely one of my favorites!
