Pocket Silhouettes is a retiring stamp set, I will be sad to see it go, I used it quite a bit.  The base of the card is Pear Pizzazz followed by Blushing Bride card stock.  I added a piece of Blushing Bride designer series paper from the paper stack and added the pear pizzazz ribbon.  I stamped the flower in Pear Pizzazz ink and repeated it, four times.  Layered the stamped image onto Blushing Bride and Pear Pizzazz card stock and added a few pop dots.

Supplies:

• Pocket Silhouettes stamp set
• Pear Pizzazz, Blushing Bride & Whisper White card stock
• In-Color Designer Series Paper Pack
• Pear Pizzazz ink pad
• Pear Pizzazz ribbon and pop dots

I hope that you have time to play along with us tonight.  A new challenge will be posted on Monday morning.  You can visit us at www.latenightstampers.yahoogroup.com

Happy Mother's Day to all of you!!

She has dark brown hair and blue eyes!!  Kaitlyn has been sleeping like a champ, it's hard to get a picture with her eyes open.  We came home on Thursday afternoon and everyone is doing great!  Big Sister Lindsay loves to hold her, so does her Big Brother Andy, but at the age of 14 they don't like the whole picture thing.

This card is featuring the Summer Smooches promotion, that will be ending in a few days!  I tweaked the card a bit from the original artist, I added the saying in a square and the ribbon.  Anyways, I really love the way this card turned out!!!

The base of the card is Whisper White card stock, followed by 1/2" strips of Summer Smooches designer series paper.  The nice thing about this card is that you can use any scraps of paper that you have left.  The saying is from the hostess set "Happiest Birthday Wishes", which will also be retiring at the end of May.  This is one set, that I WILL NOT be parting with, I use it all the time.  It's perfect for birthdays.

Supplies:

• Happiest Birthday Wishes stamp set
• Whisper White & Real Red card stock
• Summer Smooches designer series paper
• Real Red ink pad
• 1/8" Real Red Taffeta ribbon & glue dot

The base of the card is Blushing Bride, this is an in-color that WILL BE retiring at the end of the catalog.  If you like this color, I would order it soon before it runs out.  I also used a piece of Blushing Bride designer series paper in the paper stack.  I carefully inked up the flowers in Chocolate Chip ink and used the Blushing Bride marker to color in the butterflies.  Then I finished coloring in the rest of the flowers with SU markers.  I added three rhinestone jewels to the bottom.

Supplies:

• Up in the Air stamp set
• Blushing Bride, Chocolate Chip & Whisper White card stock
• Chocolate Chip ink pad
• SU Markers ~ Blushing Bride & Pear Pizzazz
• Rhinestone Jewels

I hope that you enjoyed this card!

This layout features the Spring Fever Simply Scrappin kit and Bordering on Romance stamp set.  I also used the Big Shot, Top Note die, Naturally Serif die and Scallop border punch.  Here is a closer view of each page.

 Here is the left page, you can see that I stamped the flowers down the side in Melon Mambo ink onto Daffodil Delight card stock, layered a piece of designer series paper and a strip that was punched out with scallop border punch.  I stamped the flowers twice onto Whisper White card stock, I cut the three flowers out and colored them in with re-inkers and added pop dots and pearls and layered them onto the leaves and flowers.  I used one Top Note, cut in half for journaling on both pages.

Here is the left page, same supplies, just copied onto the other side of the page.  I did add a pearl to middle of the Top Note die and onto the center of the green swirly accent. 

These page layouts were inspired by a page that Jessica Lamb created at www.jessicalambsstamps.com, she is a fellow demonstrator that had a similar layout on her blog.  She does have her instructions/class for sale at her site, if you are interested in that.

Supplies:

• Spring Fever Simply Scrappin' kit
• Bordering on Romance stamp set
• Big Shot, Top Note die, Naturally Serif die
• Scallop border punch, Scallop circle punch
• Pearl jewel accents
• Melon Mambo ink pad
• Black Staz on ink
• Melon Mambo, Pear Pizzaz and Daffodil Delight re-inkers and aqua painter
• pop dots
• Whisper White, Daffodil Delight and Melon Mambo card stock

I hope that you have enjoyed my pages!  I'm hoping to get to share a lot with more in the future, I need to get my butt in gear and work on my pages this summer, I'm so far behind.  My oldest will be a freshman in the fall and I think it might take me till he is a senior to get all his pages done!
