Baby Wipe Technique

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card for Masculine Monday. So my end result does have glitter, but I still think this is a pretty masculine card. I used the baby wipe technique to have a bit of fun with the retiring I Think You're Great stamp set. I love this technique! I seriously need to make more cards using it.

Sunday Haul #11

I popped into Michael's the other day to grab a new PL album for the baby. I found this Project Life album on clearance and snapped it up. While there, I noticed a coupon for 40% all Recollections stickers and embellishments. I somehow only walked out with these four things (MAMBI stickers were on clearance). These will be perfect additions to the newest addition's album. I didn't take a picture, but I also received my May stamp club order. I was buying strategically and just picked up some cardstock and dimensionals.

Blackberry Vases

Typeset Butterflies

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card using a retiring product. I've been trying to use a decent portion of the retiring DSP. I fully admit to be a DSP hoarder. For this card, I'm actually using two different DSP packs. I love the simple color combos and mix of pattern papers.

A variation I made:

• Stamps:
• Inks:
• Cardstock: Typeset DSP (retiring); Pretty Petals DSP (retiring); Calypso Coral; Pool Party; Very Vanilla
• Accessories: Candy Dots (retiring)
• Tools: Elegant Butterfly Punch; Pansy Punch

SSINKMC33: Going Places Thank You

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card using elements from the mystery challenge below.

For this month's challenge, I used four the elements: shape, colors, special element, and theme. I played with picking some patterns from the Going Places DSP stack and helping to fill out the remaining spaces with a washi tape covered circle and a stamped circle. The size of the circles are slightly off, but overall I love the look of this card.

• Stamps: Another Thank You (retiring); I Think You're Great (retiring)
• Inks: Delightful Dijon
• Cardstock: Going Places DSP; Delightful Dijon; Very Vanilla
• Accessories: It's My Party Washi Tape; Gold Embossing Powder

Project Life April 2016

For this month's pages, I decided to focus on using one of my mini kits. I chose Dear Lizzy's Polka Dot Party. The kit's a bit more feminine than I usually go for, but I think changing it up is a good thing. Page one features pics from our monthly trip to the zoo. I embellished my month card with some washi tape and butterflies. Plus, I added alphas and some word stickers to the photos.

Page 2 highlights our One Bad Mother meetup in Berkeley. I added just a few word stickers to help complete the page.

Page 3 is a collection of park pictures. Apparently we went to a lot of parks in April.

Page 4 is all about our trip the Bay Area Discovery Museum. I went completely different and used a patterned card instead of a journaling card. Of course, I added an identifier sticker to one of the pics.

Page 5 features the Spring Social. I embellished the pics wth some bright flowers and butterflies to keep the same color family.

Page 6 highlights more park photos and random life photos. I added a lot of stickers to this page including some alphas.

Finally, page 7 includes the leftover pics from the months. I often forget to take photos of subjects other than Arthur. I included two food pics in this month!
