Bargello - Finally tried it!

Hello Stampers,
Well I saw this Bargello technique a while ago on Splitcoast and decided it might be a neat technique to do with my club ladies. I used the tutorial on Splitcoast and found it to be quite easy to follow. I decided to pick a straight forward pattern for the paper (In Colours DP); I used Blushing Bride, Poppy Parade, and Concord Crush - I am pleased with the way it turned out. I will definitely do this one at club.

Happy Stamping,
Meg

Tryin' to get my mojo back

I have been feeling quite blah lately and seem to have lost my stamping mojo - so today Idecided to make a concerted effort to get it back by doing some direct casing of cards. I have not really used my new delicate doilies set, so I decided to ink that up. These cards are the result. The first card I cased from this one at Jen's Ink Spot. I love the way it turned out. The other two I cased from splitcoaststampers - here and here. I also love the way these cards turned out. They were all fairly quick and easy too. I have a feeling that is going to become a real go-to set.

Happy Stamping,

Meg

PPA 101: Summer Blues with a little silver too!

My husband is turning the big "50" on Monday and we will be at sea on a wonderful Caribbean cruise. This is why I have the cruise ship motif for his card. I made this with my silhouette sd - I love this machine, as the possibilities are endless. I used Not Quite Navy, Bashful Blue and Marina Mist which fit the PPA colour challenge this week. Ilove the way it turned out - I am sure he is going to love it too. Thanks for looking.

Happy Stamping,
Meg
