Color Challenge BSU011718

Hi Stampers!

I have another Broke Stampers Unite Challenge today.  This week it is a color challenge.  The colors are Sweet Sugar Plum, Smokey Slate, Basic Black, and Whisper White.

I used the hostess set You're Delightful for the verse and Beautiful You for the image.  I just love the ladies in this set. 

Let's see what Terri and Carol have created this week.  Don't forget we would love to have you join us and our challenges on Facebook.

Until next time,

New Year New Challenges BSU011018

Hi Stampers!

Welcome back.  With the changing of the blogs etc., I am a little behind.  Here is the first Broke Stampers Unite challenge.  This months theme is Birthday.  As it turns out I needed to make birthday cards.  Perfect timing.

 I used Night of Navy for the base.  The layer of Chocolate Chip has been stamped with the Hardwood background stamp with Early Espresso ink. 

I stamped the  the fern from Butterfly Basics with Night of Navy on Very Vanilla card stock.  I cut it out using the largest oval in the Stitched framelits. I sponged the edges with Chocolate Chip ink.  A little twine wrapped around the card.

I wanted to make a masculine card this week.  I wanted it to deal with trees.  The oval is too small to hold the pine tree from Lovely as a Tree that I was planning on using.  I let my friend borrow my wood embossing folder....so this is what I came up with instead.  Does that ever happen to you when you stamp.  You have something all planned out in your head and then it turns into something completely different??? 

I wonder what Carol and Terri have created this week.  You can see Terri's blog here.  Carol's blog is here.  We would love to have you join our group on Facebook.

For those of you who didn't follow me over from my old website, here is a little history of our group Broke Stampers Unite.

We are a group of Stampin' Up! demos who have been friends for years, who wanted a place where we could challenge ourselves to reach outside of our comfort zones & try new things so we decided to do delve into weekly challenges. All team members will be using Stampin' Up! products, but if you join us you are free to use whatever you have at your disposal. We hope you will share with us what you make each week by putting a picture of your creation in the comment section of that week. You are free to go back & make something from prior weeks as well.

Wednesday Challenge lineup:
1st week- Theme
2nd week- Technique
3rd week- Color Combo
4th week- Sketch
5th week- Stamper's Choice 

So I hope you will share your creations with us on Facebook.

I've Moved Back Here Stampers!

Hi Stampers!

I am so glad you have found me back here. I am back at this website for several reasons.  Mainly, money.  If you followed me on StampingwithStace.com you know stamping hasn't been a main focus for me lately.  My life after my divorce has been my main focus.  That is is the greatest thing about Stampin' Up!, if you want to stamp a lot and have a business you can; or if you just want the discount for yourself that is fine too.

I still love stamping but I am located in a new town and I am focusing on learning my new job and getting to know the area.  I will sharing ideas with you at least once a week with the great Broke Stampers Unite challenges.

Join me for every Wednesday for awesome challenges with Carol and Terri.

Until then Happy Stamping!
