Two very different cards....

Hello!! Today I am posting for two challenges with two very different cards. One of the things that I LOVE about stamping is that you can achieve so many different styles!! I really enjoy being stretched to think out of my typical (whatever that is) design box.
My first card is for the Unity Addicts Challenge 34 to use your first Unity stamp and pair it with your most recent Unity stamp. The paper pieced leaf image is from my first and favorite set-"What Matters Most." This set with its sentiment, "You are right where you should be" attracted me to Unity. The label image is from the December 10 Kit of the Month from Unity. I really appreciate how all the Unity stamps match so well with each other! I used this fantastic dp from my stash, added some pink gems and I was finished!
My second card is for the CPS 201 Challenge. I love their sketches! I haven't had a chance to play along for a while so I jumped at the chance to be able to this week. I used Schoolboy Riley, that adorable moose:) I made a set of these cards to give out as thank yous to my friends that I teach with at school. I think they'll love them:)

You are Fabulous!!

Hello! You know, sometimes when you're working with creativity you just have to go for it! All that is to say that these are not my typical colors, but I thought I'd give them I try. I figure if I don't push myself to try new things, I'll just get stuck in a rut and that's no fun! I just kept adding things to this card to make it "right." I was totally laughing. I was reminded of the first and second graders I teach who often think that MORE is BETTER. You know: more glue, more coloring, more sequins, more writing, more talking....so not true! So, I stopped and this card is the result. I hope you like it! Don't forget, YOU are FABULOUS!

Welcome to Creative Happenings!


Hello! This is a place where I plan to share ideas, projects and thoughts on and about creativity. I am at heart a rubber stamper and much of what I share will be cards that I have made. Who knows what else will come up? I hope that you stick around to see!

My first project is stamped with a sentiment that is so important to me. I try to remind myself of it everyday.

See you soon!!
