Recently, I was asked to join the Sketch Challenge Team on Splitcoaststampers, and I am thrilled! I get the sketches in advance, and post late Tuesday nights. Deadlines are good for me! I'll be on the DT April through September.
Today's Sketch #744 came from Cathy (cathymac) and it has lots of layers. I love layers!

I am posting a card I made last Wednesday for the Sketch challenge on SCS, along with the Color Throwdown for the week. I am finally posting here; still getting acclimated to my blog again. The first card I made used vanilla instead of white, and the sketch wasn't quite right. (It was also combined with a recent SCS Inspiration challenge.)

Hello Friends!
I am finally posting my Mini VSN cards here. The Mini took place on March 8th, but there is actually still time to play! Misti, Lee, and I give out "VSN Virtuoso" prizes for people who complete ALL of the challenges. Since some people come by later, we don't want to punish them for missing the Mini. But you have to upload your Mini projects by Thursday Kim Phttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10580255832404589439noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5471975858219479763.post-21078706307523589202019-03-07T13:29:00.001-06:002019-03-07T13:30:30.026-06:00Natural Touch
Hello Stamping Friends!
Check it out...my second post this week! Ha! I made THREE cards yesterday, already uploaded to my SCS gallery, and now I am here. What's up? Well, yesterday was Ash Wednesday, and as part of my Lenten commitments I am reducing my time on Facebook and cutting out silly computer games. I want to create more cards, and stamp more Kim Phttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10580255832404589439noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5471975858219479763.post-54035183719806679502019-03-04T13:45:00.000-06:002019-03-04T13:45:02.604-06:00Hello Spring?
Quick post today, because I almost forgot to post this card, and the blog deadline is looming upon me!
Friday's Free 4 All Challenge on Splitcoaststampers was all about spring. Many of us are longing for it, especially as we get ore snow! I decided to check out the palette for the week on The Color Throwdown, and it is perfect for a springtime card!

Like many in the blogosphere, I let my blog go into hibernation. I looked at y list of posts, and there are 5 in the drafts. I had a bit of a rough 2018, so many projects suffered a bit.
But I was stamping a fair amount, just not posting here. In fact, last fall I was asked to join the Dirty Dozen on Splitcoaststampers!!

Lots of cards today, as I am posting this WAY after the week of DTGD Challenges on SCS. I had started with high hopes of completing all of the challenges, but I didn't. No good reason. I was home, Bruce was working. Good grief. Guess I just need to get my mojo flowing better next time around! Here are the first 6 cards I completed.

I am dusting off this blog! I have been stamping fairly often this year, helping to moderate Virtual Stamp Night events on Splitcoaststampers, and always having fun with family birthday cards. I actually have 4 or 5 posts in my drafts...clearly I thought I would be back sooner!

Hey Stamping friends...I'm back!
I had another lull in my stamping life, but was re-awakened by the recent "Falliday Fest" over at Splitcoaststampers. I decided rather quickly not to worry about completing all of the challenges, so I could concentrate on making multiples. I had hoped to combine with more palettes from The Color Throwdown, but I have just these two today.

I am still trying to catch up with some specific card needs, but sometimes it is good to just make a bunch of cards for my general stash. The best way to do this? Grab a pack of designer series paper and a bunch of sketches. Over the last 3 days, I have been working on the remnants of a long-retired package: SU's Autumn Traditions.

Happy Monday, Stamping Friends!
I have a couple of cards for the Color Throwdown today. I initially planned to do more, and I may get a couple done today, but I want to get this post done before today's deadline.
I have a hard time with pastel palettes, and there have been several recently. Perhaps if I dug in to complete them instead of ignore them, I'd be more comfortable Kim Phttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10580255832404589439noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5471975858219479763.post-26122807100716563192017-08-11T17:37:00.001-05:002017-08-11T17:37:49.250-05:00More Colorful Cards!
Happy Friday!
Wednesday was the last day to submit projects for the Dare to Get Dirty challenges. I have been stamping off and on, combining DTGD with previous challenges from The Color Throwdown. I started this post on Monday, thinking I would get more done before the deadline. 3 of these cards were done by then, but I did 1 yesterday, and 1 today.

Feels kinda weird posting again...but it feels good, too! I'm still working on Dare to Get Dirty challenges. My pace has been slow, despite hubby working loads of overtime last week. The good news is that I have until Wednesday at midnight to play along. Today, I'm posting several cards that do not incorporate other challenges.

Hello Stamping Friends!
It has been a long time since I have been here. Thanks to the Dare to Get Dirty challenges on Splitcoaststampers, I am rediscovering some mojo! I made all 5 of Saturday's challenges that day, but didn't stamp at all Sunday. I have made a few cards each day since. I am hoping to complete all of the challenges; something I have never done before.

Once again, it has been a while since I have been here. Still trying to get out of a rut. I had a good friend visit last weekend who gave me some encouragement. While I may be far behind in many projects for home and church, I just need to take small steps in order to catch up. (That's my free advice for the day! Haha!)

Happy Monday, everyone!
I have a couple of cards today for The Color Throwdown blog. I needed some baby cards, and these soft palettes were a great jumping off point. I actually set up this post LAST week, thinking I'd get several cards done. Nope, just one. But today, I am adding the current challenge just barely before the link-up deadline.

Hello Stamping Friends!
Today is a Monday, and very rainy, but I am not feeling down! That's because it's the first "slow" day I have had in a while. I've had recent days when I got very little done, but I had so much hanging over my head. Not today.
Unless you look at my long list of family members who STILL haven't received their birthday cards!

Today, I have several thank you cards to post. Over the last couple of months, I have been busy prepping for a diocesan volunteer appreciation event.

It has been MONTHS since I have blogged here! No need to go into the reasons why, but I am happy to get things posted again!

Hello, and Happy Friday!!
I am sooooo excited to share a few cards with you today; cards that top off my goal to complete ALL of the 2016 challenges at The Paper Players!! I started late, since I originally focused on a different blog. After that blog challenge retired permanently, I switched and even decided to get work on early-month challenges.

If you have been following my blog at all, you know I have been busy catching up on the 2016 challenges at The Paper Players. But the other half of my stamping goal is to complete all of the 2016 Featured Stamper challenges at Splitcoaststampers. Honestly, before this past Sunday, I had only done 15 so far! Yikes!

It's Friday, and that means it's time to post my card before the deadline for The Paper Players! LOL My intention was to finish catching up with my goal of completing this year's challenges. But that didn't happen. Ironically, doing this week's challenge and one from a few months ago led to 2 very different seasonal cards. Kinda fun, dontcha think?

Today, I have several cards...all for The Paper Players! I am getting sooooo close to finishing my goal of completing all of the 2016 Paper Player challenges! (I will finish my write-up after I eat lunch with dear hubby!)
First, the current challenge is a sketch. I love tilted layers, so this was fun for me. I made this card on Sunday when Kim Phttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10580255832404589439noreply@blogger.com7
