Hey y'all, I wanted to pop in quickly to share a card I made for the latest PTI blog hop challenge. The inspirational photo this week is so modern and chic. I decided to use my new chevron background stamps to create a background pattern. I used the colors from the photo, which are an amazing color combo. I'll have to remember it for future cards. Sorry to make this post short, but I have tons to do today before the NY Jets take on the Raiders at 4! Bye for now, Brandi

Hello! Hope you're having a great weekend. It's time for a new Scrappy Saturday Challenge over at Wee Memories! The theme this week is "Patterned Paper" and is sponsored by Echo Park Paper. You can find their website here, to see their fabulous lines and collections! Patterned paper is definitely a hard theme for me.  I rarely use pp and opt to make my own patterns out of background stamps. I am guilty of buying and hoarding cute paper, that's for sure, thinking one day I will use it. LOL! I had this little doll stamp that I bought in the dollar bin at Michaels and thought that the dress pattern matched this cute paper by Cosmo Cricket. Maybe I should jump out of my clean and simple box I'm in and dive more into my stash for future cards! What do you think? Why don't you come play along? You have until next Friday to upload your fabulous card  here for a chance to win a fun Echo Park Paper Collection! Thanks for stopping by, Brandi

Hey y'all, I wanted to pop in quickly to share some pics of this past weekend. The hubby and I are huge NY Jets football fans, as well as his parents. We all took a trip down to New Jersey on Sunday to tailgate and watch them beat the Jacksonville Jaguars. It was such a fun game to watch because it was a blowout, as compared to many games in the past. The hubby and I have a few connections regarding the team we were playing against. The kicker and quarterback for the Jaguars both played football at the college we attended (Louisiana Tech University). We use to hang out with the kicker (Josh Scobie) at school, so it was pretty neat to see him play professionally. I wanted to share a few pics of the day. The hubby and I both love the quarterback (Mark Sanchez #6), so we wore the same jersey. A little weird, I know, but it is what it is! LOL! The second photo was taken from our seats. We had a great view! Thanks for stopping by for a visit and seeing what I love outside of

Hello! Hope you're having a great weekend. It's time for a new Scrappy Saturday Challenge over at Wee Memories! The theme this week is "No Patterned Paper" and is sponsored by Ippity Chick (Jen).  I decided this week to go with a "fall" theme. I bought these cute little acorn stamps from Paper Smooches and just love what they look like inked up. I also broke out my new houndstooth background stamp from PTI. What do you think? Why don't you come play along? You have until next Friday to upload your fabulous card  here for a chance to win some fun stamps! Thanks for stopping by, Brandi

Hey girls! Hope you are having a great week!  Thank goodness it is Friday because I am so ready for the weekend. One of my good friends and I are going to have a girls day out tomorrow with a little shopping and lunch. Fun! What are you doing? I just wanted to pop in quickly to share a card I made for the latest Colour Q Challenge #102. The inspiration colors this week are amazing. I know another Christmas card, right? Oh well! I should have plenty at the end of the year. LOL! Thanks for stopping by for a visit! Brandi

Hey y'all! Hope you had a fabulous weekend. I wanted to pop in to share a card I made. I had a request to make a card for a 5 year old's birthday. He is really into spiders and insects. I looked through all my stamps and picked out this spider stamp from a Halloween set. Isn't he cute? Can you really be scared of a spider with a smile? LOL! Thanks for stopping by for a visit.

Hey y'all, I am popping in quickly to share a card I made for the Colour Q Challenge #101. I found the colors this week to be so inspirational that I couldn't pass it up. I used the colors to make a Christmas card. Starting early, you know, so that I will have plenty when Christmas rolls around. On a side note, I just wanted to say that today is a day of remembrance for 9/11. The hubby and I will never forget where we were when this day occurred 10 years ago. We will always remember the innocent lives taken to soon. God Bless America! Thanks for stopping by, Brandi

Hope you are having a great weekend. It's time for a new Scrappy Saturday Challenge over at Wee Memories! The theme this week is "One Layer Creations" and is sponsored by Wilson Designs. Wilson Designs is a clear stamp company owned and operated by Kim Wilson. She has the cutest creations. You can view her stamps and work  here! Do you like this Christmas scene stamp? One day my boss came into the office with a shoebox full of stamps that she picked up for me in a little shop out of town. I was so excited when I found this little gem inside. I let the stamp speak for itself. I added very minimal coloring in the trees and a cute sentiment with pearls. If you look closely, there is a hint of glitter throughout for the snow. Why don't you come play along? You have until next Friday to upload your fabulous card  here  for a chance to win a fun stamp set! Thanks for stopping by, Brandi
