Monday Montage #133

How fun can this be?  Another hop with some seriously talented stampers.  I really enjoy taking time to make these cards for the hop and hopefully to mail out to one lucky recipient.

I love three day weekends.  We are celebrating Presidents day so I get Monday off of work.  The hard part will be trying to decide how spend that day - I have a whole list of  "need to do's" but which one.  Maybe a little sleeping in, some cleaning and crafting to wrap things up......

• My project uses the Sweet Things Suite.   The DSP  top layer has a circle corner cut to expose more of the DSP. 
• I embossed and cut the jars out of vellum.  I also stamped the jar image on Whisper White in versamark which helped with the placement of the candy so it would be centered when I added it to the back of the vellum jar.

Stamps - Sweetest Thing
Ink - Versamark, Melon Mambo, Granny Apple Green, Pineapple Punch, Cool Caribbean,
Paper - Whisper White, Gorgeous Grape, How Sweet It Is DSP, Vellum
Accessories -  Stitched Rectangles framelits, Layering Circles framelits, Jar of Sweets framelits, White Embossing Powder,
Blender Pen, Natures Twine, Wink of Stella, dimensionals

Monday Montage #132

I am so excited to be a part of this blog hop joining these majorly talented stampers.  

Church this morning....Super Bowl fun and food this afternoon and a little cardmaking and blogging to wrap up the evening makes for a great ending for the weekend.

Salt Lake has had temperatures in the low 50's that last couple of days - totally giving me spring fever.  The closest I could get to spring is a few butterflies.

We Create Blushing Blog Hop

Happy February.  I  have officially made it through the toughest month (for me) of the year.  It has really helped not having a horrible inversion that makes it impossible to see the sun.  There has been enough wind and rain/slow to keep it at bay.  Participating in a step bet also keeps me out and active.

Although I have no intention of making you blush.... I have created a project with Stampin UP's petal pink and other accent pinks to follow the blushing theme of February.  I wanted to steer clear of hearts, kisses and anything else that may make someone blush :)  I know the piggy stamp set isn't new and I know that this stamp set has "been there - done that", but when I thought about pink - I wanted to play with the pigs.

Paper - Whisper white, Petal Pink
Ink - Petal pink, Real Red, Lovely Lipstick, Melon Mambo, Pear Pizzazz and Black, balmy blue for shading
Stamps - This Little Piggy, Hand Written background, Perrenial Birthday, Amazing Life
Tools and Stuff - Stitched rectangles, dimensionals, black/white twine

I used the cut out from the pink panel on front for the inside.  I used the greeting from SALE A Bration - Part of My Story
