Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge 244

Been a bit of slacker when it comes to my blog lately... so much going on! BLAH! One week from today and the kids will be on break. Most moms would be excited, and although I am ready to be done with school, I am not sure that I am ready for summer break.

This week with the Paper Craft Crew we have fun sketch for you all to play along with! I am really loving the Wood Words Bundle that will be available to you on June 1st!

Click here for challenge details!

This fun card started with a base of Pool Party Card stock with a soft matte of Sahara Sand. My Whisper White layer is stamped with Pool Party ink with the flower cluster from the Wood Words stamp set. I added a Stitched Circle stamped with the same pattern layered onto a Sahara Sand Layering Circle with a couple of dimensionals. Almost like a triple time stamping effect. My cute little rooster was the perfect edition with my Linen Thread bow and wood trim. My sentiment was heat embossed with Stampin' Emboss White and was perfect for this card. I added some nice Glitter Enamel dots and I was done with this fun little card!

OSAT Clean And Simple Blog Hop

 I am so glad this week is almost over!! I have been a bit stressed and under the weather with some recent happenings here at the home-front... I keep telling myself, "This too shall pass". It hasn't but I keep jumping back up and dusting myself off.

This month with the One Stamp At A Time Blog Hop were are hopping with Clean And Simple in mind! I was so excited to get my pre-order goodies to play with! I am so in love with the sentiments in the Lovely Friends Bundle that will be available to you on June 1st!

My rich colors in my creations today are Fresh Fig and Always Artichoke. They work really well together. The sentiment is stamped with the Fresh Fig ink with an Always Artichoke accent on the bottom corner. I used the dies to create the Gold Foil leaf and Flower. The flower was fun, it always hard to find the perfect color combo when layering inks but the Sweet Sugarplum was perfect with the Fresh Fig. I did a quick Gold Stampin' Emboss center and a nice border of Very Vanilla Lace Trim to finish this Clean And Simple card off. 

You will notice a nice little pillow box that was made with the Eastern Palace DSP with a coordinating Very Vanilla Lace Trim. I made this with the Pillow Box Punch Board, unfortunately it is not available from Stampin' Up! but was certainly Clean AND Simple!

Stamp Ink Paper Challenges 96 CAS Wedding

Tuesday! I swear the last few weeks of school just breeze right by! It will be summer before you and I both know it. Then comes the pool, thunderstorms (we had one last night) and grilling with friends!

Today I am designing with Stamp Ink Paper and we have a nice Clean And Simple Wedding Challenge that I know you will enjoy!

Challenge Details Here

This Clean And Simple card was so nice to make. I received the Ribbon Of Courage set at OnStage San Diego. Patty Bennett did an amazing demonstration of the set and was kind enough to sign my copy! I heat embossed one of the sentiments from this set on a stitched circle. I popped this up over a Powder Pink stamped image from the Awesomely Artistic stamp set onto Very Vanilla Card stock. I added a Fresh Fig dragon fly to off set the bottom corner. The card still needed something but I really didn't have any embellishments that coordinated well. My Bronze Sharpie was perfect to color over the Glitter Enamel Dots as shown below!

Thank You soooo much for stopping by! I can't wait to see what you make with this Clean And Simple Challenge!

TGIF Challenges 104 Polka Dot Challenge

Friday!!! Friday!!! Thank Goodness Its Friday!!! We are suppose to be getting some much needed rain today and I am sure that our farmers need it. 4 more weeks of school! Not that I am counting down or anything!

Today I am designing with TGIF Challenges with a fun Polka Dot challenge! What person does not love some polka dots!?

My fun card started with a base of Real Red card stock with a nice layer of the new wood DSP. I used the circle from the Wood Words set with Real Red ink. It has nice distressed look to it, as do all of the shapes in the set. I went ahead do a nice wood strip across my polka dots with a nice rustic strip of burlap ribbon and the new copper trim that tied on the little "Thank You" sentiment. The crumb cake stamped flowers on my nice stitched circle are layered onto a Real Red scalloped circle to coordinate with my Rooster and polka dots!

Thank You so much for stopping by! I can't wait to see what polka dot perfection you come up with for this challenge!

TGIF 103 Sketch Challenge

WOO!!! So glad that is Friday! There is something about a family vacation that leaves me needing another vacation. Kids are out of school today for Good Friday. We are going to get everything out of the suitcases, my Stampin' Up! OnStage goodies were the first to be unpacked. At least we know that I have my priorities right!

We have a lovely sketch today on TGIF Challenges! As you will see below I chose to you some new with something that is going to carry over!

Challenge Details Here

This simple yet elegant card started with a base of Berry Burst with a soft matte of Smoky Slate. My Whisper White Card Stock is stamped in the Berry Burst Ink. I accented the card with a few of the new Gold Faceted Gems! To represent the "banner" in the sketch I decided that the Happy Birthday Thinlit was perfect. This was cut twice out of card stock and then heat embossed twice with Gold Stampin' Emboss powder to coordinate with the gems!

Simple and Elegant! 

Thank You so much for stopping by today, I can't wait to see what you make for this weeks challenge!!!
