<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I didn't realize how long it had been since I posted anything to my blog! I'm glad to be back at it!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This card is for the IN{K}spire_me challenge #388.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I used Rich Razzleberry, Bermuda Bay, Soft Suede, and White. It was also a sketch challenge.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I used a Simon Says Stamp set called To Thine Own Shelf. The books are stamped with 1st and 2nd generation stamping. I really love this color combination! The main image is popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals.</span><br />

I was checking out all the challenges that I follow on Thursdays and 2 of them popped out at me!! I knew I had to use the embossing paste and my chevron stencil!! The <a href="http://seizethebirthday.blogspot.ca/">Seize the Birthday</a> challenge was to use chevrons and I liked the <a href="http://casethissketch.blogspot.com/">CAS(E) This Sketch</a> challenge. I used some Post-It paper to mask off a diagonal section of the card base. The embossing paste went on and the mask came off. I'm still getting the hang of the embossing paste, so it didn't turn out as clean as I wanted it to. I guess I need to practice some more!!! :) I then sprayed some Heidi Swapp Color Shine in Tinsel onto the card front. I'm not liking the way it makes the dry paste look dirty instead of gray. I even took the spray nozzle out and applied the spray by hand. I still think it looks dirty, but it will work. I used my "happy" die to add a pop of color and paired it with some gray alphabet stickers. I thought the white stripe was a little stark, so I dripped the Color Shine onto it.<br />
Stamps: Simon Says Stamp-Cupcake Party<br />
Ink: SU-Island Indigo<br />
Paper: misc. blue, white, and orange<br />
Accessories: Wendy Vecchi-white embossing paste, Heidi Swapp chevron stencil, pop dots, SSS-Happy die, Heidi Swapp Color Shine Tinsel, Basic Grey-stickers<br />

So, I broke down and bought some to see what the fuss is all about. I LOVE IT!!! It is so much fun to use! I get to control the amount of texture that goes on!! Now I just need to break down and buy some new stencils...3 of them isn't going to cut it!!!<br />
Here's a card I made using the embossing paste and my Heidi Swapp chevron stencil! I just added the paste to a small section of the card. I wanted a distressed look, so I tried not to smooth it out too much. When it dried, I put the stencil back on and sponged 3 different shades of red ink onto the dry paste and even left some areas white. I love the ombre effect it gives!!<br />
Stamps: SSS-Thinking of You and Cupcake Party<br />

This might be one I will have a hard time sending to someone!! I used the sketch from <a href="http://retrosketches.blogspot.com/">Retro Sketches</a> today. I wanted to do a one layer card today, so I used embossing powder for some texture.I masked off the two side panels and then sponged an white pigment ink around the edges, before I remove the masks, to give the panels a little more definition. I didn't have any gold paper to match the embossing powder, so I took a white Thanks die cut and embossed it with the gold e.p.<br />

Okay, this little snowman has been hanging out on my table since early December when I put him together. I thought it would be cute to make a snowman wearing a top hat!!! Well, that is as far as I got. I couldn't figure out how to utilize him on a card. So there he sat, taunting me to use him!! While I was looking at all the challenges for today, inspiration struck with two of them!! The <a href="http://merrymondaychristmaschallenge.blogspot.ca/">Merry Monday Christmas Challenge</a> and the sketch from <a href="http://mojomonday.blogspot.com/">Mojo Monday</a> were perfect for this guy!!<br />

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, SU-Poppy Parade<br />
Paper: Misc.-white, orange, and black, Crate Paper-Peppermint Collection<br />

I didn't stop making cards, just posting them here. I was busy with Christmas, sickness, and just life in general!<br />
So, my goal for this year is to start sending out more cards. A couple years ago I started sending birthday cards out to nieces, nephews, brothers, sisters, in-laws, mom, aunts, uncles, and grandparents for both mine and my husband's families. I sent out anniversary cards to all those above that are married, plus I included all my married cousins!! I'm starting that back up this year!! Although I am going to include birthday cards for all those cousins that are unmarried and for friends!! For a family as large as mine, this is going to be a busy card making/sending year!! My other goal is to make these cards one of a kind! I want to expand my creativity, so each card I make will be a new one for me! Wish me luck on that!! I will try to post pictures of these cards after they have been sent, but I have already sealed a couple up without taking a picture. :(<br />
Here are a couple cards I've done:<br />

Mine was as stress-free as they come!! No cooking or cleaning!!! I loved going out to eat!!! I got my inspiration today from the <a href="http://justusgirlschallenge.blogspot.com/2013/11/just-us-girls-217-wild-card.html">Just Us Girls</a> challenge. One layer cards are not easy for me to do. I always want to add more!! I took some Post-It paper and cut out the PTI Mat Stack 4 and adhered it to the card front. I then laid my stencil down and sprayed the color shine. After I removed the stencil and die, I adhered the negative die image and used my Tim Holtz blending tool to add color and definition to the space where the Post-It paper was.<br />
Stamps: SU-Sleigh Full of Toys, misc. sentiment<br />
Ink: SU-Early Espresso and Midnight Muse<br />
Paper: misc. white<br />
Accessories: Heidi Swapp-stencil and Tinsel color shine, Zig metallic silver writer, PTI-Mat Stack 4<br />

Nothing major, just me getting tired of single parenthood when I'm not a single parent. I guess that is what happens when your hubby works the graveyard shift. Anyways...I'm over it now. I did need to make some cards this afternoon to help de-stress. I fell in love with the Easily Distracted stamp set from Sweet Stamp Shop!! So cute!! I paired it with the stamp set from my October card kit from Simon Says Stamp, Giving Thanks. I decided to play along with the <a href="http://mojomonday.blogspot.com/2013/11/mojo-monday-320.html">Mojo Monday</a> challenge today! It was an easy layout to work with!!<br />
