I was going through some of my old DSP today, and thought I would share a quick and easy card with you. Yes the DSP is retired, but you could use any of the gorgeous papers that are available from Stampin’ Up! to make something similar.
Hope you had a crafty day.
Happy stamping!

That is this week’s challenge from Our Creative Corner, and didn’t that open up some possibilities!! I have so many ideas floating around in my head for this one that I think I need to spend the rest of the week doing nothing but stamping! Hmm yes well, nice try.
This one features that gorgeous DSP Morning Mocha, and so my “splash of colour” is Soft Suede.
And I enjoyed making this one so much, that I have made a set of cards, all in the same layout and style, just using different colours and embellishments.
Leave me a comment and let me know which one you like best. Personally, I like the pink one, and my son’s favourite is the blue one, but that’s not really very surprising! 🙂
Happy stamping!

The colours of today’s card are from this week’s Just Add Ink challenge, and the colours are: Pool Party, So Saffron, Wisteria Wonder and Certainly Celery. And yes, it definitely was a challenge. I found it very hard to add the Certainly Celery. It is a little hard to see, but behind the main image is a layer of Wisteria Wonder cardstock and then a layer of Certainly Celery Cardstock. I really wanted to take out the Certainly Celery layer, it just doesn’t fit for me, but I guess that is the idea of challenges 🙂
I have combined the colour challenge in with a sketch from Clean & Simple Stamping, but to be honest, I am not really all that happy with the end result.
Perhaps that is because I am completely exhausted from our move. However, we are in our new house – not very organised and still with a lot of work to do here, but we are here! And I have been trying to give myself a few minutes of stamping every day, just to take the edge off the stress of moving. So I do have more to share with you, and will be back again real soon. Hope you are having a fantastic Monday.
Happy Stamping!

Yes, I have finally started to do some scrapbooking again, after well over a year of being scrapbook-less.?.?.. either through complete lack of inspiration or just the need to do other things.
I have used a sketch challenge from Our Creative Corner for my scrapbook page today. I think I will have to make a card using this sketch too!
I am doing a set of pages looking back on all of the things that we have been through, both positive and negative, over the past 12 months, so most of the journalling will be out of sight.
Once again I have used the Everyday Enchantment DSP for this page, and also the Fresh Vintage stamp set.
We are in the process of moving house at present, so there may be some gaps in blogging for a couple of weeks, but I intend to keep stamping and scrapping in between days of moving and cleaning, so I will try to keep posting my creations.
Happy stamping!
Chris
