SSC 198

Hi
It was really nice to finally get some time to make a card. Life has been crazy here the last few weeks. This is my entry for the Sketch Challenge over at http://stamping411.blogspot.com/. I love that we are only allowed to use Stampin Up products!!
I used Flight of the Butterfly stamp set
Paper and Ink is Cameo Coral, Tempting Turquoise, So Saffron and White
I finally got to use my New Big Shot Ebosslit too. I love the little buttons it creates :)
Thanks for looking :)

Thank You Kindly

Here is my entry for the SSC 194 at http://stamping411.blogspot.com/.
I used Baja Breeze, Daffodil Delight and Crumb Cake ink and paper from SU. The stamp sets were Pocket Silhouettes and Thank You Kindly from SU. I think I will use this card in my upcoming stamp camp class. :) Thanks Ladies at stamping411 for an awesome sketch this week! ( I should say every week!) :)

SSC 193

So after a week away I am back and ready for another challenge from http://stamping411.blogspot.com/
I used SU Party Hearty stamp set with some retired colors: Brilliant Blue, Only Orange, YoYo Yellow. I also had fun using some of my bigger circle punches! I think this would make a nice birthday card for a young child.
Thanks for looking!

Hi There!

Tonight I challenged myself to use the SU Good Neighbors Stamp set. It was a sale-a-bration set from 2010 and sad to say that I have not used it until tonight. Now I wonder why! I think I will make a bunch of these to keep on hand to send notes to friends.
Stamp sets: Good Neighbors and Fundamental Phrases
Ink and Paper: Soft Suede, Baja Breeze, Cherry Cobbler, Vanilla and Old Olive
Thank goodness I had a stamp-a-ma-jig to keep everything straight. That is a must have for any stamper.Thanks for stopping by to look.

Easter Blessings

Hi
I used the Saturday Sketch challenge 191 from: http://stamping411.blogspot.com/ and the Stampin' Royalty Challenge 59 at: http://stampinroyalty.blogspot.com/ and came up with these two variations of an Easter card. I had fun playing around with my markers while coloring on the Stampin' Royalty card.
Here is what I used:
Never Ending Joy stamp set...SU
Paper and markers are all SU: Pear Pizzazz, Rich Razzleberry, Tempting Turqoise, White, Black and Garden Green (for shading on the stems).
I used my stamp a jig to make sure everything lined up. I used my color coach to help me use colors I normally don't play with. I also added a button from the Fresh Favorites 1 with linnen thread and a glue dot.
Thanks for looking :)

Here is the entry for SSC 191

Here is my entry for SR 59

Just Add Ink #56

I am addicted to sketch challenges these days and here is my entry for the Just Add Ink Challenge #56. You can find it at: http://just-add-ink.blogspot.com/
I used markers to color stamps from Asian Artistry. The paper colors I chose were Crumb Cake, Marina Mist, White, Cajun Craze. Marker colors were Marina Mist, Crumb Cake, and Old Olive. I used a nestabiliity from the curved rectangle set. Old Olive Ribbon is ued and a Martha Stewart Punch.
Thanks for a fun sketch challenge ladies!

Get Well Soon

This is my entry for the Saturday Sketch Challenge 190 that can be found at: http://stamping411.blogspot.com/
I used mostly SU products on this card.
Paper is soft suede, regal rose, so saffron and vanilla. I used Eastern Blooms, Flight of the Butterfly and Sincere Salutations for stamp sets. I chose to use a butterfly instead of a bow due to my inability to tie a pretty bow on this card.

Thanks for looking :)

Saturday Sketch Challenge 187

Hello!
I couldn't sleep last night so I thought I would complete the sketch Challenge from: http://stamping411.blogspot.com/
This time I chose to use a stamp set that had no flowers in it. I am a farm girl and I love this Stamping Up stamp set....Farm Life.
I used Soft Suede, Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White and Basic Grey SU paper. I colored the image in with a blender pen and used a white gel pen on the clouds after sponging the sky. The button is tied on with linnen thread.
