Crafts: Act 1, Scene 1: DeNami Sketch Challenge 3
My biggest inspiration, when it comes to card-making, is DeNami Design Rubber Stamps (www.denamidesign.com). While I own an ever-increasing collection of stamps from several different companies, I find myself drawn to and inspired most by DeNami. Their images are both elegant and gorgeous as well as whimsical and adorable. I have fallen head over heels in love with this company, and I have had a blast over the past several months entering their challenges. Their current challenge is Sketch Challenge #3. The above picture acts as the template for my newest creation. Below you will see my entry into this challenge. I plan to show you some of my past favorite submissions on my shiny, new blog, but for now, check this out: I created this card using DeNami stamps that I just recently won via a DeNami giveaway. Ecstatic does not even describe how elated I was when I won! I jumped up and down for days, and about the time I calmed myself down the package arrived, so I started bouncing up and down all over again! On this card, I used the following supplies: Stamp: Polka Dot border by DeNami Design; Ink: New Sprout by Memento Stamp: Paw print stamp by DeNami Design, Ink: Lilac Posies by Memento Stamp: Doggy Bone stamp by DeNami Design; Ink: Bahama Blue by Memento Stamp: Doghouse stamp by DeNami Design; Ink: Tuxedo Black by Memento, colored with Copic marker & colored pencil Stamp: Poodle stamp (part of Playful Puppies set) by DeNami Design; Ink: Tuxedo Black by Memento; Accents: Fun Fluff by DeNami Design & Distress Stickles in Black Soot Stamp: hi! stamp(part of Everyday Greetings set) by DeNami Design; Ink: Tuxedo Black by Memento; Accents: Stickles in Magenta Ribbons from Celebrate It! by Michael's Button is covered with Stickles in Turquoise Paper is a combination of DCWV & other scraps. White cardstock from The Paper Company. Let me know what you think! Love, Amy

Thanks, ladies! I'm so excited to have 'followers' now! I feel so...OFFICIAL! :)
I've been hoping to start a blog ever since I first discovered DeNami's blog, and I've been so in awe of all the Design Team's blogs. My crazy schedule doesn't afford me a lot of free time, but I finally realized that I just need to MAKE the time. It's just such a fun creative outlet, and I love getting comments and feedback! I know I go on and on about my love of DeNami all the time, but it's 100% true. With other companies, I like certain stamps. With DeNami, my little heart goes pitter patter whenever I look at the website or at my local stamp store. The overall style just really suits my personality, and I am inspired to try techniques and products that I never thought to try before! I'm so grateful to be able to participate in such a fun community of people, and I hope to get to know you all more!
Thanks again for your comments!
