Two Challenges with Mixed Media and Splitcoaststampers


We have continued the weekly Mix-Ability Challenge on Splitcoaststampers even though I haven't been posting here on the blog for a very, very long time. Splitcoaststampers community continues to be a positive source of creativity in my life even if my time is limited for being in the studio.

Here's my thought. What if people out there miss the plain style of gathering and supporting each other in our creative time? I have to take a deep sigh of contentment and then let you know something. If you are curious about stamping, scrapbooking and watercolor. Or if you are in search of a papercrafting community that encourages you and gathers in some simple challenges, we have the place you are looking for!


I join in the mixed media challenge mostly. It's my favorite style of creating when I have a chance. I also have a rotation in the hosting there, too! The first card in this post is one from last Friday where I challenged us to use pennants, buntings or flags.

The next card image is the challenge hosted by MariLynn about bugs! 

Stop by and check it out! The details about both of my cards are in my Splitcoaststampers gallery where you will also find the links to the challenges!

Supplies: All the stamping supplies I have used on these cards are retired or discontinued. My go to ink is Clair Nocturne Ink Pad, and the paints I use are almost always DecoArt Traditions.


I'm a maker who receives goodies chosen by myself for design team work. To see a list of these companies just scroll to the bottom of my blog under FTC Declaration.

Let's Celebrate Plain Jane Style!

There is an Anni-Verve-Sary party going on today! Verve Stamp Company is 2 years old! The hop started at Verve's blog , so come hop on board and see over 5 dozen projects that are sure to get your Verve on! I've been waiting for the right time to blog about this project and when the opportunity came to join in the anniversary blog hop for Verve I knew it was time. My blog hop project today uses all Plain Jane Bible verses from Verve. I saw this project at Susan Roberts gallery on Splitcoaststampers and went to her blog to get the details . I decided to make one for my mother as a Christmas present...in 2008. Yep, I just now finished it and I have the blog hop to thank. Using sketches would have made this a whole lot faster. LOL The two cards shown in the picture above use the latest Plain Jane release for Psalm 121:1-2 (hanging on box) and Hebrews 11:1 (in front of box). And I'll give the details below, but first here's a slide show of the whole year. Hebr...

Color Fragments are sprinkled over Deep Impressions Embossing Powder along with Shabby Blue Embossing Enamel and heat set from the back of the project. (That's just so the fragments don't soar off the page and to the floor.) Now for the Sc...
