Howdy stampers! Sorry I didn't post anything yesterday. I'm knee deep in convention swaps, which I will be sharing with you while I'm at convention. I am trying to continue to create something new everyday to share here too, but sometimes it's just too much. Anyways, it's Wednesday so that means it's the Diva Coffee Break Challenge. And this week it's a sketch challenge.

I really struggled with this one. I finally came up with something, but I do have to admit it's not my favorite. I couldn't justify spending any more time on it though with the hundreds and hundreds of swaps I still have to create. The colors are Baja Breeze, Old Olive, Regal Rose and Whisper White. I did use some DSP, Nursery Suite, but you can't see much of it. The stamps is from Define Your Life.

DCBC and Operation: Depleting DSP

So it's Wednesday again, so that means it's the Diva Coffee Break Challenge. This week it's a color challenge and here are the colors.

It just so happens that I was also able to incorporation my Operation: Depleting DSP too. For this creation I used the DSP sampler from the Level 1 Hostess (which I also have way too much of). The stamp set is Best Dad Ever.

DCBC Color Challenge

Welcome to Wednesday and the Diva Coffee Break Challenge. This week's is a color challenge, here are the colors.

 And here is my creation. Again, I used a stamp set from the main IBC, I guess that's this week's theme on my blog. They really do need to see more ink. Anyways, the stamp sets are Funky Four and Something to Celebrate. And it is a CASE until I realized that we don't have any Pacific Point buttons, so I had to substitute in a colored rosette. Yes, it really is Pacific Point even though it looks like a black blob.

DCBC Shares

It's time for the DCBC sketch challenge and I have two shares for you today. But first, here is the sketch.

And as promised, here is my creation using a couple SAB sets, So Happy For You and Punch Bunch. The colors are Real Red, Basic Black, and Whisper White.

The second share I have to you uses some of the SAB DSP and a set from the Occasions Mini, Eat Chocolate. As I have previously mentioned, I'm part of this group and we have monthly challenges and/or kits. March was my month to present the kit and April will be when we present our creations. This is one of my creations. The kit that I provided, was one piece of the SAB DSP, 1 sticker sheet, Whisper White grossgrain ribbon, a piece of Pear Pizzazz cardstock, and the stamp set Eat Chocolate. The colors are Early Expresso, Pear Pizzazz, Melon Mambo, and Whisper White.

Sorry and DCBC

Sorry for the little hiatus I took. I know on Sunday I promised you another stamp set of the week and I was in the middle of preparing card using Bliss. Well on Sunday, I went to meet some friends to work on these cards and then afterward went shopping with TC's kids. Someone sold my Greenhouse Gala tote bag, filled with about $300 worth of stamping supplies, and my cell phone from my car. In the Greenhouse Gala tote were my samples for this week, along with my stamp set. My back-up stamp set was going to be Nature Walk, but that was also taken. So I had to go back to square one. This week won't be featuring any particular stamp set, just random samples I've made this week. I have borrowed Nature Walk from a friend and have made quite a few cards with it, so maybe inadvertently that will be the rest of the week. And I was able to stamp set images using someone else's Bliss set.

Wow, that was long winded, now on to our regularly scheduled program. This week is a color challenge, here are the colors.

And here is my sample. It is actually a CASE of our very own Sharon Field. I had this done for a few days now, but then had to re-stamp it tonight. The stamp sets are Bliss (thanks Jolene) and Nature Walk (thanks Laurie). The sentiment is from Hodgepodge Happiness.

Thanks for stopping by and I promise more regular posts the rest of the week. Don't forget to check out the homepage to add your own creation.

DCBC, Sneak Peak, and Sweet Summer - Day 3

Whew! What a title. But that is what I have for you today. Yes, it's Wednesday so that means it's the DCBC sketch challenge. And here is the sketch.

I have two shares for you that utilizes this sketch. The first one using Sunny Fun, a sneak peak from the new Summer mini, available May 1. The main colors are Pacific Point and Cherry Cobbler. I used many colors to color in the images. It's a little darker than I'd like, but here it is.

And because this is Sweet Summer week, of course I have a creation using the sketch and Sweet Summer. The sentiment is from So Happy For You. The colors are are the colors from the Subtles Color Family (I think that's what we're calling them now).

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to check out the homepage to check out the other designs and add your own. Day 4 of Sweet Summer is coming tomorrow.

DCBC Color Challenge

It's time for this week's Diva Coffee Break Challenge. This week is a color challenge, let's check them out.

And here is my creation. Now I have to admit, this was a hard job to accomplish. Not because of the colors, but because of my new stamping area. As you might know, I've been in the moving stages for about two weeks now. In addition, I'm downsizing my craft area. In my old place, I took out my dinning room table and took over the dinning room with my craft center. Well TC is coming back soon, and he insisted that we have a dinning room table to have dinners at (what a concept) so I now have to share with the dinning room table and I'm not a happy camper. I no longer have my stuff at my finger tips, not to mention things are still not unpacked.  It took me like five minutes to find my paper trimmer, another for my punches...you get the point. Anyways, back to my sample, I used Sweet Summer and You're a Gem.

Thanks for stopping by and your continued patience while I unpack the rest of my stuff. Don't forget to check out the other design team's creation and add your own on out homepage.

I'm back, kind of. Sorry I took such a long leave of absence. I've had so much going on this past week that I barely had time to breathe. On Thursday, I was asked to make 350 favors for the boutique that I'm selling my cards at. They were due yesterday. I got about 275 of them done, but that was enough. Anyways, onto today's scheduled program, it's time for the Diva Coffee Break Challenge. This week it's a sketch and here it is.

And here is my creation. I rotated the sketch and used Bliss. The colors are directly from the Color Coach and are Pear Pizzazz, Tempting Turquoise, Rich Razzleberry, and Whisper White.

Late DCBC Post

Here is my late submission for this week's Diva Coffee Break Challenge. Tuesday nights are usually my nights to do my design team cards for the week (a little procrastinating, I know). Last night, little to my know I spent that night in the hospital with my future father-in-law. He was admitted yesterday morning and so I hurried over there and spent the day and night there. I first looked at this week's challenge about 20 minutes ago. So anyways, this week is a color challenge.

And here is my creation. You may recognize the layout from a card I previously did. I used a SAB sneak peak, Bliss.

Thanks for your patience and thanks for stopping by.
