SPCC #100 and Mojo Monday Sketch #191

I've had a bit of time to get crafty lately and it has been forever and a day since I particpated in some crafty challenges! So today, I bring you a card I created using the SPCC #100 and Mojo Monday Sketch #191.

The color combo from SPCC was different than my norm, but I just love how nice these colors look together! Sami from SPCC, will be giving the winner THREE SP and Company stamp sets! These are among some of my most popular stamp sets (and the brand new one released this month!!). AND the winner this week will also become one of her guest designers! How cool!

And the sketch from Mojo Monday was a blast to use, too!

Here is my card creation:

SP Design Team Call

I've really been wanting to branch out a bit with my crafty creations, so when I saw the DT call over at SPCC/SP & Company Stamps, I knew I just had to apply! The last day to apply is today, so be sure to get there and do it...I know, I know...I wait till the last minute! ;)

Now SP & Company Stamps is: 'Sami's exclusive stamps are high quality photopolymer clear stamps. Every stamp is designed by her, Samantha Strachan Peyton. She is am a stamp lover, and her collection of stamps was designed with her fellow stamp addicts in mind. The stamps are made in the USA. The stamp materials and packaging materials are all made in the USA. These stamps are not just any other clear stamps, they are some of the BEST clear stamps on the market today. They pick up ink beautifully and leave a great impression. Plus, they are clear so you can see exactly where you are stamping. You will need an acrylic block with these stamps. More great designs will be added on a regular basis, so make sure to follow the SP blog so you don't miss a thing!'

I don't have any of Sami's stamps yet but plan on making my first order sometime this week! Her stamps are so original, fun and creative...I can't wait to use them!

When applying for the DT, Sami asks that you create a card using the color blue! So simple--I love this color, anyway. I've had some extra time lately, so I created two cards. Go here to apply!

Here are my creations:

I had a card made for the SPCC color combo, which is now 2 weeks old hahahah...and since I got my FujiFilm S5100 camera working again, I decided that I would show you my creation! :) Oh and if you're still wondering, I have NOT found my memory card for my smaller Canon FunPix camera...but that's ok...I have fixed my bigger camera and I am more than excited to use it again. And with this camera, you will definitely notice more details in my cards and whatnot, too (once I get back in to teaching myself how to use it again!) Yay! :) Anyway, here is the 2-week-old SPCC #31 color combo:
