More Gina K Designs release party challenges

Here they are! The winners will be announced tonight! I hope I win a stamp set from Gina K Designs. There were 4 really cute sets released this month. I uploaded them to my SCS gallery http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=78918 if you want to see the details. Things are pretty hectic around here with Barry back at work. I barely got these done before the deadline.

Gina K Designs had an online blog release party!

And I attended Tuesday night! There were 3 sketch challenges and 3 contest questions. Here is the link http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/922024&cat=500&ppuser=78918

to the forum so you can play along if you like. The prize for each sketch challenge is a set of Gina K Designs stamps with a value of $18.95. Here are 2 of my entries and I am working on the third. The deadline is 7 pm central time tonight!

I picked up the cutest set of clear stamps Wednesday at Scrapbook Creations. It is Turtle Crossing by Tricia Santry Studio. It has turtles, flowers, tags. dots, circles and butterfly stamps as well as several sentiments. A total of 15 stamps for $7.99 and I used a 40% off coupon to make it an even better deal. (The Live it Up stamp used below is from a dollar set from Michaels not from the Turtle Crossing set)

Thanks for stopping by!

Cards!

Stampin Up Blue Bayou is the base for this one. Le Jardin designer paper is an added layer behind some off white textured cardstock on which I stamped from an old SU set named Little Inspirations the sentiment in Old Olive. The scallop punch has a Friendly Flower stamped in Soft Sky with a rhinestone added. There are a couple of olive eyelets on the mini book mark. I used So Saffron ink to color in the flowers around the little lamb with an eye shadow applicator and then colored the lamb with a white Souffle marker. A little soft yellow rick rack also added to give another texture. It's a sweet little card for a friend to remind her that she is in God's care.

Bonjour friend!

Le Jardin is the designer paper by Stampin Up and I used SU Friendly Flowers to stamp the flowers in Soft Sky and So Saffron and the "friend" sentiment in Soft sky on the flip side of the same designer paper. I used my circle punches to punch out the flowers and added rhinestones to both.

Rainy weather is good for staying in and creating! Of course, the boys are screaming for Dairy Queen. Oh well, I must suffer through a trip to DQ!
