TSSC350 and CQ276

Happy Wednesday, peeps!  Just a quick card today…I am in the throes of a sinus thing, feeling a wee bit washed out!  The colors from the ColourQ challenge cheered me up…this inspiration photo cracked me up, actually:

and I paired it with the sketch from Technostamper:

to make a little thank-you card for a customer:

I have a 4 1/4” square card base in Crumb Cake on which I stamped the Dictionary stamp in Sahara Sand; the image is from the SAB set Lotus Blossom, stamped in Strawberry Slush and Rose Red and mounted on some SS DSP and the Best Year Ever DSP from the SAB catalog.  I just love the vintage vs. fresh look!  My sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes, and I stamped a little background from A Fitting Occasion and used the Itty Bitty Framelits to cut it out:

My Chocolate Chip scallop is from the Circle Card Thinlits…that little set comes in handy, there are lots of cool dies in there!

Doing some artwork with watercolors and crayons!

She was quite intent on it, too!  Enjoy your day!

Hey, peeps, it’s Tuesday, and that means another cool color challenge from Arielle for the ColourQ!  Here you go:

Definitely a boyish color combo, although it doesn’t necessarily have to be!  I inked up some images from Geometrical and A Fitting Occasion, both of which have been neglected, and paired them with a sentiment from a new Project Life set called Remember This:

I added some scallops and zigzags, and popped it all on a panel that I embossed with the Alphabet EF:

I added a little sentiment (and hat!) to the inside as well:

Sentiment is from Fabulous Four!  I hope you can come play with us this week!

A few more fair pictures:

Enjoy your day!

Hey, peeps, another post today….I wanted to get this card in for the Dynamic Duos challenge:

I felt like I was the only one who hadn’t seen this stylish card created with the Scalloped Tag Topper punch, so I googled it, found this great tutorial and set to work making a card for my niece’s birthday:

I changed the front panel about 3 times, and finally decided on a plain piece of Blushing Bride, run through the Elegant Lines EF.  I added elements from Chalk Talk and A Fitting Occasion, as well as an embossed and diecut border:

I finished it with an elegant bow in Very Vanilla seam binding!  Hope she likes it!

I am glad I am not the only one who reads cookbooks just for fun:

Enjoy your day!

IB108 and The Challenge

I normally don’t post two times in one day, but I saw a cute inspiration photo on Inspired By, and time was running out!!!  Here it is:

This reminds me of London during the time of 101 Dalmatians….LOL!!!  That was the first movie my parents took me to, so it sticks out in my mind vividly!!   I don’t have any images like this but I liked the color combo, and after seeing Laurel’s sample, as well as this sample from Lorraine, I pulled out a few sets and went to work:

I printed out a little bingo card (sorry, I don’t remember where I got it!), some Jenni Bowlin papers, a few SU stamps, and a bunch of embellishments, some of which were already sitting on my desk!   I think my favorite is the little bird:

And here are the rest of the embellies:

This also uses Lesley’s sketch at The Challenge!!!  Here’s what it looks like:

‘You should play along!!  And I am feeling lazy, so if you have any questions about what I used, just send me an email!

Another lineup!!!

Thanks so much for visiting!

MLS301 with Fresh Prints

Happy Saturday, peeps!  Have you shoveled out from under the snow and ice the east coast received this week?  More due tonight, I hear!  Yikes!  Spring cannot come too soon, right?  I had some stampy time on Thursday (a big snow day!) and I was determined to use up some scraps from the little pack of Fresh Prints that I had…..it seems like it goes on forever!  What a great value!  My first card uses Mary Jo’s Technostamper Monday Lunchtime Sketch 301:

and I also put to use a SAB set, Banner Blast:

I stamped the banners twice and punched them out, cutting off the points and adhering them together under the red ribbon to make them a bit longer.  I added stars and a sentiment from Make A Wish to finish it off.  My friend has ordered some birthday cards, so this will be a good start!  And here are the rest, just using scraps of the Fresh Prints pad:

Now I think I am ready for a different color combo!  Come back tomorrow when you’ll see my Paper Players creation….I am the hostess, too!  Can’t wait!

A little snow fun:

Since the snow was too deep to sled, Grampy made a ramp using the snow from the driveway!  It worked great!  Good thing we got some sledding time in, as this is now all scooped away with Uncle Raymond’s tractor!

Once inside, instead of hot chocolate, some hot vanilla (warm milk, sugar and vanilla):

Enjoy your day!
