HANNA SNEAK PEEK: To the Beach

I fell in love with this sketch when I saw it on Jen del Muro's blog. It was so unlike anything I normally create. I was going for a relaxed, beach look on this card, but I still wanted it to be fun and funky. It was SO hard for me to get it looking how I envisioned this card to look and I struggled with the sketch for sure!!! What do you think?

This set will be available May 4th after the Release Party in the Hanna Stamps forum on SCS. Hope to see you there and hope you will fill your cart with awesome new stamps afterward!

Stamps: To the Beach (Hanna Stamps), Handwritten Notes (Papertrey Ink) Paper: 209-Teeny Polka Dot Bikini - By the Sea (Arctic Frog), Night of Navy (SU!), Orange Nostalgia color cored card stock (Core'dinations), Solar White Classic Crest (Neenah), Taken with Teal (SU!) Ink: Onyx Black Versafine Accessories: Paper flowers (Prima Marketing), button brads (Making memories), adhesive gems (Michaels Stores Inc.), sewing machine (Singer), white thread (Sulky), glossy accents (Ranger), white gel inkssentials pen (Ranger), 1 3/8 inch square punch (SU!), glue dots (Zots - Therm-o-web), glitter glue (unknown).

My Decade Later Comeback and Playing Catch Up

Hello friends, It's been awhile and I kind of dropped off the face of the planet since moving to Oregon. I got busy with growing four babies into teens, and attempting to hold together a marriage with a partner who was working out of town for the most part. It was a lot! Truth be told, I have been spending most of my time over on Instagram which allows for more quick picture and caption posts (@the.amanda.sewell), but I really, genuinely miss having a journal of our adventures, so I'm back.  Some changes, my ex-partner moved out in October of 2023 (after 23 years of marriage, who would have thought?) and I am on a new, single mom adventure with the fabulous four. Luckily, they are adjusting to the changes well as we navigate this challenging time as a family team. Things are still in flux and hopefully at the end of all of this, the dust will settle and we will end up landing on our feet. Because of this change, I needed to go back to work and after not working for the past lo...

Okay, well, not me actually, probably mostly my work, but either way, I'm SUPER FLATTERED! I appreciate all the comments you leave me. They really do validate me and make me feel like I should keep on going with this blog. You all ROCK! So, I have decided to do a small giveaway to show my appreciation to you. I will have two separate contests. Both of these contests will win you blog candy (yummy embellishments, and other such fun stuff). The first one is to guess my middle name. You can post your guess as a comment to this post and then I will do a drawing of every...
