Animal Talk for Friday Mashup & Stampin' Royalty

Hi Everyone. Happy Monday. I played along with Friday Mashup (sketch and technique challenge) and used the colors from the Stampin' Royalty color challenge to create the card I'm sharing with you tonight. Animal Royalty was one of the sets that I didn't even notice in the 2012-2013 SU catalog, but for some inexplicable reason, I saw it in the new catty and fell in love with it. I knew it would be fabulous for making cards for the next Operation Write Home card drive, too! Here's the challenges: Isn't that a great color scheme? I love Pool Party and... Read more →

Gifts of Kindness for Cards In Envy and Dynamic Duos

Hi Everyone. Happy Sunday. I got to play a little in my stamping space today and played along with Dynamic Duos color challenge and a sketch challenge from a brand new site (to me at least!) - Cards In Envy. It's called that because the cards that you make for the challenge have to be able to fit inside an envelope! When I saw the "dessert option" from Dynamic Duos, I knew that this was an ideal opportunity for me to ink up a new set from the 2013-2014 catalog called "Gifts of Kindness" and paired it with a fabulous...

Banner Greetings for Paper Players #150

Hi Everyone. Happy Saturday. The fabulous Anne Marie has a great challenge across at the Paper Players this week. I mean, whenever have you known me resist a plea to add a bling to a card! I thought about it for a couple of minutes, got out the "blingyest" things I could find and got to work. I knew I wanted to make a wedding card and keep it to a sophisticated grey, black and sand color scheme. To add the bling, I dusted off my Silver Glimmer card stock and paired it with some mirror-like rhinestones. The sentiment is... Read more →

Modern Medley

Hi Everyone. Happy Friday. I am SO glad it is Friday this week. Modern Medley is a set of DSPs in the new 2013-2014 catalog. It's Basic Black and Very Vanilla. I wasn't sure how I was going to like it because the colors are not ones that I generally use together and, they are such strong patterns, that you really need to embrace these two colors! I knew that I needed to do exactly that and used the Merry Monday sketch as my starting point, as it lends itself ideally to the use of DSPs. As a reminder, here's... Read more →

Happy Day for casonsunday and runway inspired

Hi Everyone. Happy Wednesday I had great fun working with two challenges this week: casonsunday which is a color challenge of black and white + one, and the inspiration challenge across at runway. Here's the inspiration dress I knew that I needed to use my Epic Day washi tape. I mean... it was a given considering the graffiti and graphic nature of the inspiration photo. The red looked like Calypso Coral would fit perfect for the color challenge and it was perfect to combine the cleanandsimple on Sunday challenge with this. Happy Day is a new set from the 2013-2014... Read more →
