Need a new blog name

Wow! It has been a long time since I have posted anything to my blog. Alot has happened, most recently I have gotten a divorce. My original blog name was JP's Creations, which were my initials. Now that I've gone back to my maiden name, I don't care much for JM's Creations. I hope to become more active with postings now that I'm starting a new chapter in my life. :-D

Do you have any suggestions for a new blog name? If so, comment below!

Thanks.

Color Inspiration #48 and a "Hi" card

This is the card I came up with for this week's Color Inspiration challenge over at Kristina's blog. I just received an order from Stampin' Up with the new Stampin' Up Big Bold Cupcakes sizzlit 4-pack dies and the Sweet Little Sentiments stamp set. I thought this was a perfect opportunity to try out my new stuff!

This card was created last night. I found this stack of paper by Black Market Paper Society at my LSS. I free hand cut the flower out of one of the sheets of paper. The 'hi' is shimmery chipboard from Scrapworks.

Isn't it Spring?

This is the weather in Oklahoma today...

Color Inspiration #44

Sorry I skipped last weeks Color Inspiration challenge. I didn't have one of the colors she listed and I know you don't have to use them all but I had a very hard time with the combination as a whole. But never fear, I'm back for this weeks challenge! This challenge is using my favorite color combinations:

And here is my take:

I really need a new camera or something...I had a hard time getting a decent picture of this card. Anywho, ENJOY!

Color Inspiration #42

Here is this weeks color challenge over at Kristina's blog.

And here is my take...

Color Inspiration #41

I have seemed to of lost my creativeness lately. I figured the best way to spark it again, is to participate in various challenges. I am a frequent visitor to Kristina Warner's blog and thought I'd start with her Color Inspiration challenges. This week's challenge is this:

Kristina mentioned about possible Valentine's Day cards out of these color combinations. For those that know me, Valentine's Day is my least favorite holiday. I was in need of 2 cards so I used this as my opportunity. Here is what I came up with:

For this card, I used Riding Hood Red SU cardstock as my base, Basic Gray SU cardstock embossed with Diving Swirls folder in my Cuttlebug, Studio G stamp on Whisper White SU cardstock, and Basic Black SU 1/4" ribbon.

For this card I used Basic Gray SU cardstock as my base, Riding Hood Red SU cardstock stamped with a Studio G clear stamp using a Versamark ink pad, Basic Black SU 1/4" ribbon. I didn't use Whisper White on the front of this card but there is Whisper White on the inside.

Long time, no post.

Sorry I've been MIA. I have been scrapbooking but just mainly layouts.

I recently ran across an ad on Craigslist.com for some Stampin' Up sets. She had 4 sets pictured and wanted $20. I called her to ask if she wanted $20 per set or $20 for the whole lot. She said for the whole lot! I was all over that steal. When I went to get the stamps, she handed me a Wal-mart sack with not 4 sets of stamps but 6 sets. 5 of the sets are Stampin' Up! I was in complete shock! So, I had to tell my fearless leader, Ellie, about this great find. She, of course, wanted me to put them to use. I haven't been able to get to all the sets but here is what I've started with.

I'll try and use the rest of the sets soon and post!

TFL!
