Sale-a-Bration Ends Today!

This is a sad day for all of us stampers.  The biggest deal of the year comes to a close at 11:50 p.m. (MT) today (via online ordering).  Thanks Stampin' Up! for some wonderful stamp sets to earn and the cool new punch.  Also, many have loved taking advantage of the regular catalog items that could be redeemed instead of having multiple items of the SAB sets.  This was a great addition to an already fabulous event!

If you have not had the chance to get all your Sale-a-Bration awards, there is still time to place those online orders or contact me early this evening to place an order for you.  Don't miss out on the once in lifetime opportunity to get those stamps that will retire at the end of today.

Watercolor Rose

Well I got the problem fixed with my scanning software..yikes!  So now I can share with you the card I originally planned to have for yesterday.  I hope you all enjoyed the Blog Tour..I know I did.

The rose was watercolored using Watercolor Wonder Crayons.  I used several different colors to get the multi-blended rose color.  I like how it turned out.  It really stands out on the Coral Cameo paper too.

I hope you find some of your own creativity through my samples!

KLOMPENSTAMPERS BLOG TOUR (HOP) - Last Day

Well, today is the 3rd and final day of the blog tour...I sure hope you have enjoyed the designs and creativity of my fellow demonstrators, I know I have.  They sure are a talented group!

Today I have a card for you made with the Bloomin' Beautiful stamp set.  This set is a lot of fun to create with, since it has bunches of opportunity!  Today's card is simple reflection of spring...BLOOM!  I can not wait for all the flowers to come into bloom with the new season.  I used the watercolor pencils with a blender pen to color in the flower.

I'll let you in on a little secret...I will have another post for you tomorrow, if you want to bookmark or save my blog page.  I run into some technical difficulties last evening with my scanner and camera so I didn't get to share my newest design as originally planned.  (Shhhh...don't tell anyone)

Again, I hope you have enjoyed this blog tour and we hope to be having another one in the future, for your creating pleasure!  Please click on the link below to be taken to the next blog on the tour, Jackie Bolhuis, and be prepared to be WOWed, she is an awesome designer!
