Oh this is one of those sweet and simple sketches that I just love! The favorite thing about simple sketches they can easily be dressed up if you want a little more or you can keep it simple for a nice clean look. Since we are having the Summer Smooches promotion right now, I thought it would be fun to …
Happy April 1st everyone! No…this is not an April Fool’s post but a peek at the new Summer Smooches Suite that is available this month and most of it available in the NEW CATALOG! The control freaks did a swap with the ‘stuff’ from the suite and this my swap card. I love the bright, crisp look of this and …
Oh…it’s time for another clean and simple challenge on SCS! You know how I just LOVE these! What a great way to start the week! The challenge this week is to use the technique of ‘spotlighting’. I always liked this technique. Since I’m not very good at watercoloring that means I don’t have to color as much – LOL!!! What …
Did I mention that this week CAS challenge is spotlighting and what a GREAT technique that is? Make sure you check out my other card which is more of a ‘traditional’ spotlighting card! I learned this technique (Pierced Spotlighting) from the <a href=”http://www.techniquejunkies.com/”>Technique Junkies newsletter</a>. It just love it because it gives a different look from the traditional spotlighting technique …
Aren’t these pretty colors together? I really like them too! Poppy and grey are always nice together and that little bit of yellow is just what is needed to set it all off! You know…it’s hard to believe that the one set of incolors are getting ready to retire…SAY IT AIN’T SO!!!! I will say…I am going to miss these …
Can you see why this is just a GREAT sketch for the Season of Friendship set? It really is just perfect! I wanted to pair it with a fun paper from the main catalog because I’m trying to use up some of my ‘stash’ I decided to use the Berry Blossom dsp and pull the colors from this pack for …
Sorry I haven’t been posting that much lately. Just finished off my winter quarter (this week is spring break) and I had 3 workshops this past week too! BUSY…REALLY BUSY!!! But it is over so I’m going to do a little STAMPIN’! This is for the CAS challenge on SCS. This week is an inspiration challenge. You’ll have to check …
You KNOW how I just LOVE this kit! Can’t get enough of it! This was just a fun little sketch and I really wanted the main image to be the focal point. I like how you can make fun color combos with the Blossom Builders kit and wanted something bright and happy so the yellow/poppy/green just couldn’t be beat for …
The theme for the SUO Challenge is Spring (or Autumn if you are from ‘down under’!). I decided to go for the spring part of the theme. In keeping with the my CAS style these days I wanted to go with a nice simple design. The base of the card is Whisper White. I took a piece of Bashful Blue …
Oh…I do love the sweet shop dsp…it really is just so fun and I love the interesting color combo. I did a card similar to this one at my workshop on Sunday and changed it up a bit for Mary Jo’s sketch today! What another fun sketch that Mary Jo has for us this week! She does such nice ones …
Today for the CAS challenge on SCS we have a fabulous sketch challenge inspired by Arizona Maine – I LOVE her work! It’s one of those things again that I couldn’t make just one. I did do two separate posts so make sure you check out the other one too! I have to say Season of Friendship is my all …
Here’s my 2nd card for the CAS challenge on SCS using Arizona Maine’s sketch. I wanted to do something a little different and I do love this fun little set! I played around with this a little bit before settling on this. Originally I put the balloons on white instead of Pool Party but it just didn’t create the look …
Really a quick card. Base of the card is Certainly Celery I stamped the shamrock in Certainly Celery, Wild Wasabi, and Garden Green, cut out and added to a piece of Whisper White textured cardstock. I trimmed off the ends of the shamrocks that hung over, layered this on a piece of Garden Green and then the card base. I …
I thought colors really felt inspired by the Everyday Enchantment dsp in the SAB brochure. I do love the colors in there a used that for the inspiration for my card today. I absolutely LOVE this Pool Party/Peach Parfait print in the pack. I think it is so much fun and are two colors I would NEVER put together! The …
Happy Monday everyone! Hope you all are adjusting to the time change. I LOVE it being light later in the day but I have such a tough time adjusting to this one! To help you along…I have a happy flower to help you celebrate spring for Mary Jo’s Technostamper Monday Lunchtime sketch challenge! You can see this is just a …
So…here’s my second card for the CAS challenge on SCS to use white and shades of blue. I haven’t done this technique in AGES and just had sooooo much fun! I honestly couldn’t pick between the two as to which one I liked best! So although this has a lot more going on in it, I still has a very …
This is one of two posts I’m doing this evening with this set so make sure you check out my other card. The CAS challenge on SCS is to use shades of blue and white. My problem was I immediately thought of two different cards to make for this so I decided to make both (which is why there are …
Today is the Featured Stamper on SCS and it’s one of my favorite stampers HSKelly. I LOVE her CAS style and couldn’t resist doing When you do the featured stampers challenge you need to change at least 2 things and I kept the over look but did change things up. The base of the card is Whisper White and I …
Isn’t this a fun sketch. I like the simplicity of it. I had used a variation of the sketch for a card I did awhile back and really like it so changed it up a little to use it for our sketch this week. I like simple sketch because I feel there is so much more you can do with …
I will have to say that I struggled a bit with this. Since it is March my first thought was to go with that whole ‘St. Patty’s Day’ idea. That’s green right? So it should work just fine. Well…so that is how things started…as a St. Patty’s Day card. I guess you can see that I sort of took a …
Isn’t this a great look? I really like the banner look on a card and couldn’t wait to get going on this. I decided I’ve been neglecting my ‘stuff’ I got from the ‘main catalog’ so I thought I would use some of the dsp from the Berry Blossom pack as my inspiration for my card. The base of the …
Well here it is…my first card for the CAS DT on SCS (don’t you LOVE alphabet soup?). Our challenge this week is to use monogram. I decided to go nice and simple but yet a little ‘stepped-up’! Such a simple card this is but I LOVE how it turned out. The base of the card is 6 1/2 x 6 …
Here is the 3rd card I did for the CAS DT call on SCS. I will have to say…this was my favorite of the three I made! What I like about this card is that is looks like a tall card but really it is a regular 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 card. So the final challenge was a color …
