Inkspirations Winner

Good Morning!  What an exciting day here at A+ Stamping Solutions...Miss Renee chose me as the winner of the Inkspirations Challenge!   That's very exciting...(I reposted the winning card.)  This week's challenge is a beautiful color combination of Poppy Parade, Baja Breeze, Peach Parfait and Whisper White.  I have a few ideas, how about you?  Here's the link to see some beautiful samples... Inkspirations Challenge.

Later this afternoon our Clearly Creative SU Demonstrators are coming over for a Christmas in July Shoe Box Swap.  How fun!  Well, I'm off to get the house picked up, my stamping space clean and get some chicken ready for the grill!

I'll be back tomorrow morning with the goodies from tonight.
Have a fantastic Friday!

Color Challenge...Rollercoaster!

Boy was this ever a roller coaster of a ride getting this card finished.  I stopped by the Create with Connie and Mary blog this morning, saw the color challenge:  Tempting Turquoise, Tangerine Tango, Old Olive.  Excellent, I thought...a fun summer card.  Well...somehow I ended up with a Hello Baby card.  I have no idea how.  I've seen these adorable little pinwheels all over the web, and there is a fantastic new stamp set and coordinating paper in the Stampin' Up! catalog.  Thought I'd give them a try.  Certainly these are going to become a favorite!  Do you ever look around at your crafting supplies, slightly embarrassed by all that you have but secretly wish that the SU fairy godmother would just bring a few more things?  That was me today.  I kept thinking"" if only I had this die cut" or "that paper would be just perfect" or maybe "that new ribbon would be the best!".  I could stamp for a year on just what is in my stash but seeing the new things makes me crazy for more!

Sorry for my rambling today...I just had too much fun in my stamping space today!  Who knows what tomorrow will bring!
