INKspired Blog Hop 22

Hi and welcome to INKspired #22!  Did you get here via Louise Sharp or are you starting here? Either way, grab a cuppa, sit back and be amazed! I hope you are enjoying our fortnightly challenges and getting some INKspiration from our team of talented stampers. This weeks sketch is amazing!  I think it's one of the most versatile sketches we've had yet, as you can tell by the team's' cards this week! I can see so many "big sentiment" cards being made with this, especially Christmas!

As you can see I have made another baby card.  Firstly because they are so cute and secondly because  the "Big News" stamp set has the biggest sentiments that I own.  I am totally in love with the colour, Lost Lagoon, it pairs so well with Pool Party and I'm sure it loves me too because every time I open the stamp pad I end up with lost lagoon fingers or "spots" on my hands!  Luckily it hasn't yet ended up in my lap (touch wood!).  I embossed the Lost Lagoon panel with the Lucky Stars embossing folder, you can't see it very well but it is there.

I have used a silver foil layer under the Lost Lagoon. It's not that easy to see in the top photo but you can see it in the second photo.  The "Cherry On Top" paper stacks are so cute, Kabrina has used some of the other designs on her invitations, this one has spots and little squiggles - C.U.T.E.! You can also peak at the embossed stars on the inside (I only did two corners of embossing on the inside)

It's Just Us Girls, Adding Ink for Blokes...

Phew! what a week and it's only Tuesday... my cupboards arrived on Saturday {YAY} so MOST of my weekend was spent loading and organising my ever expanding craft stash into and onto my gorgeous cupboards.  I really need to downsize my stash (maybe I could make some cards??!!)   ;)

Anyway I DID use up a little bit with my "blokey card" for

 Just Add Ink's 176th challenge... Just Add Blokes

I combined it with the

 Just Us Girls 200th (! WOW) Challenge

 

I know, making one card for two challenges doesn't use up twice as much stash... but give me a break! Ive been busy organising and repacking PLUS I have been playing nurse for the last two days.  Here is my card for my wonderful Husband who picked up my cupboards and helped me put them in my Stampin' Studio!

Gorgeous grunge makes an AWESOME galaxy! Don't you think?

Jugs 198

Just Us Girls Challenge 198 is a photo/colour challenge

 

Love those flowers and the colours too!

 I did the inside of this one too

 I must say, I'm a fan of the Gorgeous Grunge set.

Until next time,

Keep Stampin'
