Gerda Steiner Designs, LLC... 

Oh my goodness! Some of my new favorite stamps. Well of course I have a lot of favorites!  

I purchased 4 different sets and I am loving them all!

 The first two are 

Go Wild!

And 

Party Animals

And what have I done with them....

Tada

Please let me know what you think! The sentiment on the 2nd card is from Stamps of Life. 

 I also got 

Coffee Monster

 Isn't this just so adorable?  I have not completed a project with this set yet but I am looking forward to it.  Then the final set I got was ...

Gopher it!

With this and some Heartfelt Creations Coffee Talk paper I have created a gift card holder.

I cannot wait to expand my collection of Gerda Steiner Design Stamps. 

My Favorite Things Challenges.  Wow did you realize they had so many at once. 

Sketch Challenge, 

color challenge, 

blueprint challenge , 

the birthday project

So... I decided to do a card that covered three of the categories

I just hope that I don't get called out for entering the same card 3 ways. Not sure if it against the rules or not.  

Oh and coming soon...rocks! Did you know that painting rocks and hiding them around town is a thing? Stay tuned as I learn more.

MFT Color Challenge 102

My Favorite Things color Challenge number 102

My first time participating in a My Favorite Things blog challenge, and this was a challenge for me. My mind currently is set on Christmas and these colors just did not scream Christmas to me.

So I added an extra challenge  for myself and that was to somehow turn this into a Christmas theme. And this is what came  of it.

The stamps that comes from my favorite things it is the "BB Polar Bear Pals"

Also use were:

• Merry Christmas stamp by Stampabilities
• circle punch
• Memory Box die Neena ornament outline

Believe it or not

I can't believe how long it took for me to get my computer back. When I saw that the last post on here was in April and now the Summer is gone. Wow! It's time to get back into the craft room and start making a few things, especially my Christmas card which I have not started yet. Look for a few challenges and see if I can come up with some new fresh ideas. Although I could use a few more months of Summer.

This month we did a couple of deep sea fishing trips, one for halibut and one for salmon. We had a really good time and I caught my first ever salmon. And it just so happened to be the biggest one caught that day!

Man that's big! And I'm not sure I'm talking about the fish LOL.

Our theme this round is going to be:

Faith

I has so much fun with these!

The background was drawn with the Cricut, "Faith" cut out with Elizabeth Craft Designs die and the Stamp is from rubberneck.com

This second design was done with Our Daily bread dies and rubbernecker.com Joel 2:25 stamp

MY Treasures

So Rubbernecker put out the challenge 

Anything But A Card – Rubbernecker Challenge #27 

I was so intending on doing something with their woody stamp and die. So I started out to set up a beachy themed project. Get a picture and some "beach stuff"... OH! ...is that driftwood in my box. Ummmm? Can you stamp and emboss on driftwood? As it turns out you can!  And voila a picture frame emerges 

and I am feeling bad as I didn't even us the Woody that I intended.  I even made it in 3 colors!

Love Is In The Air – Rubbernecker Challenge #26

I have to admit this was a difficult challenge for me.  I know the theme was chosen for Valentines day but to be honest I have never been into the "romantical" stuff.  So my first attempt is totally about love... but has nothing to do with the holiday.

The I loved the way the first one came out and had to try another one similar.  Although it has absolutely nothing to do with the challenge. I really like the way this one turned out too.

Alright I gave a go at the hearts and pink, it just doesn't use one of  Rubberneckers stamps. But at least I did it. HEHE

Thank you if you stopped by to take a look.  I don't get much company on this page. It is new after all. Anyway because there is so little traffic I am not going to list all the items and such that were used but if you wanna know where or what something is,  just ask.

Make: Grunge It Up! – Rubbernecker Challenge #25

Grunge It Up! – Rubbernecker Challenge #25

So I will be honest, I had to google what grunge was. LOL Not sure I captured it well but I gave her a go. The stamp is rubbernecker stamp 1050-13 1 John 3-18.

Our daily bread designs baking tag set item#D286

I have also made this gift bag base on this challenge.  The paper used was my scrap paper that I used as my inking mat to keep the desk clean.  This whole grunge idea made me actually think to use it for the background for the stamps.  I think I like it better than the card. HEHE

Believe: Sometimes inconveniences can be be Blessings!

At 5:30 am Mom calls me, no not an emergency! Well not an emergency in the real world. My  Dad went to work and left his wallet at home. So Mom and I had to take it to him, he is working 3 1/2  hours away.  A 7 our round trip drive was not exactly what I had planned for the day. However , yes it was a long drive but that was 7 hours that I got to spend with Mom. We talked and talked , and laughed and just enjoyed each others company.  I could not have chosen a better way to spend the day.
