Fall to Inspirations

Wow, I don't usually get to stamp or post on Saturdays---always a busy day, but DH worked today and I got my stamp room a little bit cleaned up, filling up the shelves he put up yesterday.   Clean and Simple Stamping  had two layouts to peruse:

and the Inspiration Challenge #83 on SCS today had some really cute rooms and bedding, so I decided to make two cards!  These are both 3x3 cards, which are fun, but challenging to get everything on there, sort of in miniature!  The first was inspired by this room:

This uses a new stamp set from the upcoming SU catalog called Circle Circus, as well as a new sentiment, Teeny Tiny Wishes.  The image was stamped in Versamark, then Sahara Sand, then clear embossed.  All the other elements were distressed with Sahara Sand ink as well.  Sentiment is stamped in Basic Gray.

The next one was inspired by this room and has a totally different feel:

There's not a lot of stamping on this!  Polka dots from PTI's Polka Dot Basics; sentiment from Trendy Trees.  Punched circles of Only Orange and a diecut stem form the flower, and I found some fun dotted orange ribbon in my stash!

Thanks for visiting today!  Oh, here are a couple before & after photos of my stamping area.....not anything fancy like some I have seen, but much better for me!

Big empty space on the wall...everything used to be on the table.

Now, two large, long shelves, with lighting underneath!  And still room for more stuff! (Sorry for the bad pix).

Ah, a semi-clean space!  My stamps are behind me....still working on that area!
