Cottage Rumble Challenge 8

Hi there my friends, I hope you're having a great weekend. I had to let you know about our Cottage Rumble over at the Clear Artistic Cottage Studio. This time our sweet WENDI is hostess and she designed a beautiful and versatile sketch for this challenge. Here is the card I made, although my 3 panels are too big, I like Wendi's original much better, but I had them framed and done before I really noticed, so it is what it is. :) My card was created using the Delicate Moments stamp set, which is part of the beautiful Serenity Line. I stamped 3 different images in real red, old olive and creamy caramel for the main panels. I added diamond stickles here and there on each image for a bit of sparkle. The patterened paper is double sided floral/tan from Piggy Tales. I chose the word "Serenity" for my framed oval and added 2 green bling gems to either side.

I hope you enjoy this sketch as much as I have and get a chance to play along too (you have 2 weeks)! You have a chance to win a fabulous prize just for joining in the fun!! Find all the details on how to play and see wonderful cards from the design team using this sketch HERE! Thanks for stopping by!

A St.Patty's Day Rumble!

Hello and happy St. Patrick's Day! I'm not Irish, but I feel lucky every day simply because there is so much to be grateful for and one of them is being a part of the Clear Artistic Stamps design team. :) Each month, we get to create a card for our Cottage Rumble and it's always a blast! My fellow design team members are so talented and inspiring and I love to see what each lovely lady comes up with! This month, we are going GREEN!

Clear Artistic Stamps Sneak Peek

We are just 2 days away from our January 20th Release Party for Clear Artistic Stamps and Belinda has designed the most beautiful set called Moments In Lace, which is going to be perfect for all of your wedding, anniversary, new years, graduation, shower and just about every other celebratory occasion you can think of!

And how about a fun little rumble to get ya all fired up for the release party this Tuesday?! We are hosting our first Cottage Rumble challenge over in the cottage studio! This first challenge is a challenge of threes! Make a card or project and count your 3's! Now you can do this purposefully and do everything in threes, or you can go ahead and make your card and then see afterwards how many things you did in threes! You'll be surprised how often this happens naturally without even thinking of it! :) The CAS design team has created a fabulous array of samples, so be sure to stop by for some inspiration! Hope you will join in the fun and leave a link to your creation HERE for us all to enjoy!

Here is my "3's" cottage rumble sample, Save This Date mini cards. I just think Belinda is brilliant to have thought to include a save this date stamp with Moments In Lace. Thanks so much for visiting me! :)
