Stampin! with Jaydee

Always on My Mind...... and blog candy update

Hi Everyone. Happy Saturday Night. Well, I didn't get much chance to spend in my stamping space today. We decided to go visit a few of the new houses that have been built as part of the parade of homes. Well, that was a really bad decision! We ended up spending far more time out than we had anticipated and we only got back home at around 5pm. One of the houses we saw will.. truly... always be on my mind:-) The minute we drove up the forested street to the driveway and saw this prairie style house - I... Read more →

Guest Designer card and SU News

Hi Everyone. Happy Friday night. OK... so.. can someone please do an intervention. I need a 12 step program to stop using Gray! Some of you may remember that I was asked to be a guest designer across on splitcoaststampers clean and simple challenge. Well, this week was my week! It was a sketch challenged based on a clean and simple submission. I had to make a card using this sketch layout. I was uncharacteristically nervous about this. Seriously. I pfaffed and worried and pfaffed and worried, but in the end went with instinct about whether or not it was... Read more →

Find joy in the little things - Homage to retiring colors #5

Hi Everyone. Happy Thursday Night. Tomorrow is Friday... Oh yeah!!! Tonight's card was for two challenges - 1 of them I missed the submission. Time this week has been very short... no stamping time to load my submission cards!!! Tonight's card is also a huge departure from the cards of the last two days.

Blue! nah! you can't be on jaydeestamping! :-) The Clean and Simple Challenge across at splitcoaststampers last week was an inspiration challenge. The inspiration Mackinac Island. One of my favorite places, I might add. If you... Read more →

Happy Earth day - blog candy alert and Homage to Retiring Colors #4

Hi Everyone. Happy Wednesday. Oh yes... Friday is on the way!!! I'll be so glad when this week is over and I can get back to stamping and doing something creative. I really get withdrawal symptoms. For tonight's card I'm using Awash with Flowers - one of the new sets from the 2010/2011 catty. This is the stamp set that you can earn free as part of the two step into spring promotion. I love this set and you can see my other example cards here. The curtain call challenge (a new challenge site I found) has a color challenge... Read more →

Black and White with a Dash of Orange - homage to retiring colors # 3

Hi Everyone. Happy Tuesday night. I'm still trying to pay homage to some of our retiring colors; part of my New Year resolution to use colors I don't often give love to. Maybe if I'd given them a little more love they wouldn't be retiring :-) I found another challenge site Play Date Cafe - isn't that the greatest name? The challenge this week was to do a black and white card - with a dash of Orange. How perfect. Especially as Only Orange is retiring! As usual, i really suggest you go across to Play Date Cafe and check... Read more →
