This week's Create with Connie and Mary Challenge was a tough one. I spent more time than I care to admit on this card, well not the card I actually am showing you but the many others that ended up in the recycle bin. The challenge was to use the sample on page 119 of…
This week the Create with Connie and Mary Challenge is using the sample on page 5 of the 2018-19 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog for inspiration. You can use the sketch, the color combination, and/or the stamp set as the inspiration for your card. I chose to use the layout for my card. I just received…
This month on the Create with Connie & Mary Thursday Challenge the challenge is a little different. Every week there will be a sample from the 2018 Stampin' Up! Catalog that will be used as inspiration. You can use the stamp set in the sample, the layout, the colors, or whatever you like from the…
Today's Create with Connie and Mary Challenge is a sketch. Here's what I made using the sketch. I haven't used the Daisy Delight stamp set or the Daisy punch in quite a while. I stamped the daisy in the new In Color, Lovely Lipstick. To keep everything bright and fresh I added the new 6"…

Use the…

It is Thursday which means it is time for the Create with Connie and Mary Challenge. This week it is a color challenge. So when you saw the color combination what did you think? At first I was a little leery of this combination but after working with it I do like the mix of…
I know you have heard me say this many a time, this week's challenge was a tough one for me. Strangely enough I had a concept of what I wanted to make and the card actually came together pretty easily. The tough part was deciding if I liked the card I made. I went from…
It is Thursday and time for the Create with Connie and Mary Challenge #494! If you haven't guessed by now I have been having so much fun with the Flying Home stamp set. The images are so sweet and coloring can be quick or more detailed, either way it seems to turn out. I do…
