(SSD013)

I am delayed with posting my card for this sketch . . . seriously being pregnant, appointments, and sick kids have been getting the best of me, but it was such an awesome sketch, I knew I had to make time to play with it!

Have you ever tried this stamping "technique" before?  I stamped my images on my designer paper, in a similar color to some of the images already on the paper.  Easy -- and looks SUPERB!  This was such a quick and simple card, and really would adapt to many different sentiments!


I cannot believe how fast February has flown by . . . already we are saying thank yous and goodbye to this months guest sketch artist - Belinda Chang (who has the most gorgeous blog ever which you SO need to visit!)  Some good news though -- starting next week the design team will be working with some awesome sketches by Jami Bova (Srgt. Stamper).

As always, please go see what the design team has come up with for this sketch (links on the right sidebar under the Skipping Stones logo) and then get busy and show us what you can do (be sure to use keyword SSD013 when uploading on Splitcoast etc.)  Happy hoppin' and happy stamping!!!  Hopefully I will be back here soon with a birth announcement for our new baby girl!


Stamps:  Garden Stamp Kiss Set (Skipping Stones Design), Dandelion Dreams (Skipping Stones Design)  Paper:  Birchtone Dark (Prism), Leaves of Love - Penny Lane (My Minds Eye), Solar White Classic Crest (Neenah)  Ink:  Memento - Rich Cocoa (Tsukineko)  Accessories:  Brown with white dots organdy (Hobby Lobby)

Hi Amanda! I love this card. I have used the technique before, but this card is the best I've seen.

Good luck with the upcoming delivery, and I know this time it will go smoother than the last time.

Take care - I'm hoping to see pictures of the beautiful little girl very soon!

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...

(SSD014) - Ear Infections and Pneumonia

I apologize for my late posting today . . . the countdown to being 40 weeks preggo continues.  This week has been crazy out of control already, and it's only Tuesday!  YIKES!   Friday night Baby E was running a fever and really congested.  We gave him tylenol/motrin, but he would not take in fluids, and I was worried about him, so I slept on he floor beside his bed (stupid thing to do at 39 weeks pregnant).  Anyway, I cried a bit, and when I woke up in the morning, I had the most intense pain in my right ear ever!  Seriously OW!   Saturday, Mic took the baby to the pediatrician, where he was diagnosed with double ear infections, and pneumonia -- he had a breathing treatment there, and an antibiotic shot . . . and his lungs were sounding much more clear when he left.  Late Saturday night his fever broke, much to our relief.   Sunday was an okay day, mostly we just all rested -- an interesting thought occurred to me while I was on th...
