JUGS (Technique Challenge), Pals Paper Arts Inspiration Challenge and Stampin' 411 Sketch

**Just a reminder that I am offering BLOG CANDY...please see my post HERE for all details!**

I have had an "off" day for crafting!  Sheesh!  It took me most of the day to get into it and this is what I came up with.  I decided to combine three of my favourite Challenge Blogs and created two projects.  The theme is Birthday and I love the Whimsical feel of the colours.  I actually am really happy with the result!
The colours came from this photo from the Pals Paper Arts Blog.  I love these bright, cheery colours on the little jugs all piled up and immediately thought of my new "Sweet Scoops" set.
On the Just Us Girls Challenge Blog they have asked for a Pocket Card.  I love making Pocket Cards and thought I would continue on with my Birthday theme!  I used the "Sweet Scoops" set and the " Introducing Set" to make a sweet little birthday invite!  They are also holding a challenge to find a new Design Team Member, so go check out their blog and give it a whirl! 
The card uses the current Stampin' 411 Sketch!  I love their sketches because I always feel like the sketch allows me to create anything! I went for a lot of white space...I just love Whisper White paper and Real Red with it!!!!
My husband has been away for a week, visiting his family in Ontario.  He is due back today!  I am so looking forward to seeing him!!

Thanks for stopping by!
Smiles, Lesley :)

Supplies Used:
Paper: Real Red, Sage Shadow
Ink: Real Red, Sage Shadow, So Saffron
Stamps: Sweet Scoops, Crazy for Cupcakes, Introducing
Extras: Real Red Ribbon, Real Red Brads, Corner Rounder Punch, Scallop Edge Punch, Oval Punch

CPS Sketches and Curtain Call Colour Challenges

Again I am using my new "Sweet Scoops" set from the upcoming Summer Mini Catalogue. This is one of the wonderful reasons to be a SU! Demonstrator, you get to play with stamp sets in advance!! I loved the CPS Sketch Challenge this week and decided to play along!! My card measures 5"x5" square. The little strips behind the main image measure 1.25"x 4.75". The main panel is 4.25"x 2.5". The Curtain Call Colour Challenge #25 over at Stacey's blog this week is a fun one! We get to use Bold Brights!! I don't have many Bold Brights and so I had to improvise.

Here is my colour conversion:
Yoyo Yellow became So Saffron
Green Galore became Certainly Celery
Pixie Pink became Melon Mambo
Only Orange became Only Orange (I have that one!!!)
I wish I had those colours that were needed for the challenge because I can just imagine they would look beautiful together! Green Galore, Yoyo Yellow, Pixie Pink and Only Orange are on the retiring list of colours going out this July! I finished off the inside too...now I have a card in my stash, all ready to go!! I glittered up the ice cream part of the cone again...I LOVE the Dazzling Diamonds on these sweet scoops!!!
Thanks for stopping by!

My First Swap (Another Sneak Peek!)

Today has been wonderful! I cleaned and purged my crafting area, streamlining it so I can be more organized and inspired to create! I am so thrilled with how the room turned out. I have an old dresser from when I was little and I took the mirror off of it and turned it into a long work area with drawers! The best thing is my Big Shot and my Circle Scissors Plus are now out all the time, ready to be used. They just sit on the top of the dresser, all pretty and tidy looking and I get to play!! I joined a card swap with some other Canadian SU! demos. We had to use new stamps from the Summer Mini coming out and I decided to use my "Sweet Scoops" set. This cute little set is so much fun to stamp with, I loved using my Stamp-A-Majig to line up the ice cream tops. The cones are stamped in So Saffron and the ice cream is either Only Orange or Tempting Turquoise. I used my 2-way glue pen to add some Dazzling Diamonds to the ice cream...oh it is SO pretty!!! I also embossed each white panel with my Texturz Plates. The best thing about the Texturz Plates is they emboss softly and so when you stamp a sentiment, the sentiment doesn't look warped! I love it!!
What colour do you like the best? Only Orange or Tempting Tuquoise? I am torn but I do LOVE orange...it is my favourite colour!!!
Thanks for stopping by!

Curtain Call: Sweet Scoops (Sneak Peek!)

The Curtain Call Colour Challenge this week was to use Kraft, Black, White and Pink. I patiently waited for my new stamp set to get here called "Sweet Scoops". Today I finally had the chance to play and made a card for Stacey's challenge. I inked the main ice cream scoop in Pink and then used the little sprinkle stamp that comes with it and kissed the ice cream scoop with my Versamark, then I embossed the scoop with Iridescent Ice embossing powder. The scoop just shines!!! It is really pretty. I used my Scallop Circles #2 die and the Big Shot for my scallop circle and created the main circle with my Circle Scissors Plus. The pink panels in behind the image are embossed with the dots folder.I also finished off the inside!!! This stamp set will be available in the new Summer Mini coming out on May 1st.

Thanks for stopping by!
