Serene Butterflies

Hi there!  Thought I'd better get this posted before midnight.  You know what happens at midnight!  lol
My friend, Jayne Singleton, made this card and I just had to CASE it!  I changed the sentiment, though.  She was inspired by Dianne Sisneros.    The moon was masked off and a reverse mask technique used to sponge on Pool Party ink into the negative shape, which was cut from Apothecary Accents Collection Framelits.  A bit of piercing was added using the Essentials Paper-Piercing Pack.  The sentiment from Petite Pairs and the flowers from Serene Silhouettes were stamped with Crumb Cake ink.  The butterflies are from Papillion Potpourri and punched out with the coordinating punch.  Love how everything coordinates!

All Stampin' Up! supplies were used. 

Sorry for the short post - going to call it a night.  As always, thank you for coming by today!

Lollipop, Lollipop...

Hi there!  Today's post is a scheduled one while I get ready for the girls getaway retreat tomorrow.  And while I'm away having a stamping good time with my peeps this week, I've scheduled some blog posts for you!
Today's card is a swap card that I finished Sunday evening.  I messed up the paper piercing on the original card.  (See, even we Demos make mistakes!)  This was Deana Schultz's shoebox swap card from Sally Nusbaum's event back in June.  Don't those pastel 2013-15 In Colors look yummy? Great colors for a lollipop!

Blooming Stamp Camp

Hi there!  It's a gray, rainy Monday here.  A good day to stamp!  So with that, I'll share one of the projects the girls made at Stamp Camp this past Friday and Saturday.  (Had a great time with both groups.  Thank you ladies!)  I CASE'd the above card from my downline, Mary Taylor.  There have been similar projects on the internet so I'm not sure where she got her inspiration.  Anyway, thanks Mary!  The only changes I made was the sentiment and the linen thread bow.
