I didn't fall off the planet...

Wow...I feel like it was forever ago since I last blogged. I apologize for my "absence"...life has been well...life. This past weekend was non-stop! On Friday my girls were off of school, so my mom and I took them to Rochester, NY to a children's museum of play. Then Saturday I was gone all morning with my dad, and then we took our girls to stock car races in the evening. Sunday was church then camping, and Monday we had friends over for the holiday. So yeah...no time at all...lol. I did however take some stamped off images camping with me, and got them colored after the kids went to sleep. Then last night, I was able to make them into cards. I was pretty impressed with my 3 cards in a hour last night. I am hoping to whip a couple more off tonight...since the basement is nice and cool, and the weather is 90 degrees today.

Well...moving on...I am thrilled to officially announce that I have been asked to join the Design Teams for BOTH sister companies of QKR Stampede...and I will be staying on QKR Stampede for another term too! In case you aren't aware...Biblical Impressions and Eureka Stamps are sister companies to QKR Stampede. They are all owned by the fabulous Maribeth! Well, today I am going to share a card I made using one of the Biblical Impressions images. Isn't that flower just awesome? This is the Large Sunflower image...and it also comes in medium, and there is a really cool sunflower background image too! As a matter of fact...just check out all the flower images...because they are all awesome! Anyway...I stamped this image off, and colored with watercolor crayons. I like the way they blend so I can add orange and yellow to them. I stamped the image on brown CS, and cut the center out and layered with foam tape. Then I fussy cut the image out, and layered onto the PP from CTMH. I thought the green and orange went really well with the sunflower. Last, I added the little sticker sentiment. OH, and when I layered the flower onto the background papers...I did not glue the outside rim down...I wanted to give it a little dimension there too.

Well that is all for now. I will hopefully get some more stuff done tonight to share with you.


This is for the following challenges:

Very nice job Jessica! I've been too busy making my wish list for Eureka! and haven't had a chance to really check out Biblical Impressions. This is a really lovely stamp and very versatile!
