SSInk - Case a Design Team Member

Hello everyone!  Happy Friday!  Do you have any fun plans this weekend?  I do not think we have anything going on.  A quite weekend at home, finishing up swaps for my upcoming trip to San Diego for Stampin' Up!'s OnStage Local event.  

Today over at Stylin' Stampin' Inkspiration we are all CASE-ing another Design Team member.  If you aren't familiar, CASE stands for Copy And Share Everything.  We have so many wonderfully talented ladies on this team, it was hard to choose who I was going to CASE.  In the end, I decided to CASE my BFF Jen.

Here is Jen's Card:

I love the simple layout of her card, and the small pops of color on the fun Inside The Lines Designer Series Paper.  (Today is the last day to get that paper!!)

Here is my card:

I chose to change the colors a little, and also color a little more of my patterned paper.

That is all I have to share for today!
Thanks so much for stopping by.  Have a great weekend!

SSInk March Madness

Hello everyone!  Today, over at Stylin' Stampin' Inkspiration we are sharing sports themed cards.  I am not into basketball - so I'm sharing a baseball card.  In two weeks our local AAA team will have their opening day, and we will be there!  

Here is my card:




Last year we saw about 10 home games with the Rainiers.  I love the atmosphere at the ballpark!  I can't wait for this season to get started!

That is all I have to share for today!  I hope your week is going well!  Be sure to stop by the Stylin' Stampin' Inkspiration page for more fun sports themed cards! 

Thanks for stopping by!

High Tide Thank You

It's time for another international blog highlight!  



This month we are all using the All Things Thanks stamp set from the Occasions Catalog.  I wanted to make my card with the  High Tide stamp set that I just got.

Here is my card

I had a lot of fun making this double z fold card.  I got the directions from Dawn's Stamping Thoughts on YouTube.  My card base is Soft Sky.  I then sponged on some Marina Mist for the sky, and some Chocolate Chip for the ground.  On top of the ground, I used the sand stamp in Soft Suede to add some texture.


I am so very excited to be participating in Kylie's International Blog Highlight again!  The top 10 participants will get to take part in a special blog hop.  I had so much fun with it last time.  You can go here and vote for your favorite cards:

Sale-a-Bration - Get'em while you can!

Image may contain: text

Hello everyone!  Welcome to the March edition of the Earning Alaska Blog Hop!  This month we are all sharing ideas using the Sale-a-Bration products.  These amazing, exclusive products are all *while supplies lasts* only!  So, get'em while you can!

I decided to use the Reverse Words stamp set, that just came out on February 21st.

Here is my card:

For the background I used 2nd and 3rd generation stamping in Island Indigo, and also 1st & 2nd generation stamping in Pool Party.  I then embossed that piece with the Sparkle Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. 


For my main image, I did a little reverse rock-n-roll technique.  I then stamped the image again in Pool Party and cut out the words.  I covered the words with Clear Wink of Stella and added them on with dimensionals.

Next up on our hop is Cindy, I'm sure she'll have something fun to share!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
