CHILD OF GOD - MONDAY DT CHALLENGE #18

I am home now -it seems as if I have been gone for a long time and have a lot of things to catch up on. I could choose to be stressed but today I am focusing on ONE MOMENT at a time and doing the important things FIRST! :) I hope you had a wonderful weekend, the past 5 days were very peaceful and full of laughter.

This weeks Monday Design Team Challenge is a sketch challenge. I used the Sweet 'n Sassy stamp set Child Of God. This was my very first stamp set that I designed! Have you participated in the challenges yet? If not, we are looking for more participants! Please head on over to http://www.sweetnsassystamps.blogspot.com/ and check out the challenge and play along!

BELLI CHALLENGE #31 - 2 Posts today!!! :)

What is the Belli Challenge you ask?

Each week, I try to give us a challenge that will use things we have lying around our stamp rooms! With a constant flow of new things coming out, I tend to forget about the other things I have and they quickly become clutter!

This Weeks Belli Challenge is BAUBLES AND BLING!! You can embellish anything with your BAUBLES or BLING. I used a little hardware for my challenge!

Here is what you need to do...Make a completed project embellishing your work with ANY type of BAUBLES, DEW DROPS, BLING, or if you have a piece of hardware laying around...use that! Share the link here in the comments linking to my Blog and CBC31. When you post to Splitcoaststampers or to your Blog, be sure and put CBC31 as the KEYWORD and mention of the challenge - with a link!I will do a random drawing for all participants and have a special pack of assorted Designer Papers for the winner!

This week in celebration of my stamp sets being released the BELLI Team is using my stamp set Child of God! This is not the Belli Challenge though. :) You can order your stamp as of September 1.

Today is also the Blog Hop! Be sure to check out the side bar and check out Faith and Jessica. Kathy was supposed to take it, but her computer is down for now...

SNEAK PEAK into MY personal Stamp Set!!!!!

Have you ever had a moment when you were SOOOO EXCITED you could not stand it? My man comes home nearly every day for lunch. Well the mail man beat him to the door and came with a package. Nooo it was not my Stampin' Up! Catalog, this one was a PERSONAL package! LOL And for me MUCH MORE exciting. The package included my NEW STAMP SET! You know the one? The one I have DESIGNED!!! Well, the sample set came in and OHHHH MYYY WORD! I was THRILLED.

Let's just say, my husband was LUCKY I had already made him lunch! ROFL Yes...I know I am HORRIBLE wife, especially when STAMPS take precedence over my man. LOL He understood though. The past few weeks as I have been talking to him about this, he didn't say too much and the excitement hadn't hit him yet. Yesterday when the stamps came I even saw him get excited. Now let me tell you...my man, does NOT get excited over much! LOL Even last night, when we were laying in bed talking he was excited! Yahoo. I see a glimmer of hope (Thank you, Lord!) that even my man can get excited!

The sad news was I had to work from 1-3. Then cook dinner for my family. I struck a deal with them though...I said IF I COOK, You all do the dishes so I can stamp!!!! LOL They all had mercy on me and allowed me to be excused to play with my stamp set. I figured that was a good trade off since I would have had my man run to Wendy's for dinner instead of cooking. SO they did have a nice home made, cooked dinner instead of fast food. LOL

Here are the details:
