My Paper Life

Good evening!

I’m sharing just one card from a set of 4 tonight.  They are all a bit different (same bases, different images) but it’s late and I want to get at least one entered in the 4 Crafty Chicks Birthday challenge  I’ll share the rest tomorrow night.

This card features the new Simply Sketched Hostess set from the upcoming 2013-2014 Annual Catalog. I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it!  I inked the stamp up with the Primrose Petals and Summer Starfruit markers and stamped the image on Whisper White cardstock.  The image was cut out with the Oval Framelits and then mounted on a Baja Breeze oval. The sentiment was stamped in Midnight Muse and is also included in the Simply Sketched set.

I used the soon to be retiring Patio Party DSP and finished off the card with a neutral button (also retiring).

The layout is from The Friday Mashup, a few weeks ago they had this sketch and a challenge to make a card set. Loved the concept and saved it for when I had time to play.

TFL!

Hello!

What a busy weekend! I was quite productive at yesterday’s crop. 7 cards made and quite a few use some sneak peek and new products!  This card features the upcoming Gingham Garden dsp pack and May’s new “Best of” stamp set – Best of Brides & Babies.

I used Techno Stamper’s Monday sketch for my layout, loved the little flag banners

The card base is the returning color – Pear Pizazz. It’s such a pretty green! I colored the leaves with the Lucky Limeade marker.  The heart and birds were colored using the Melon Mambo and Daffodil Delight inkpads and Aqua Painter.

This is the sketch I used~

Thanks for looking!

Good morning! I hope you all had a great weekend!

Today I’m sharing the last card I made at last month’s crop.  I better get busy stamping so I have some new stuff to post!

For this card I started by using a sketch from Try Stampin’ on Tuesday and the Best of Flowers stamp set.  I just love this silhouette image.

I don’t usually do monochromatic well but this was a happy accident LOL!  I’m looking forward to getting my first of 3 pre-order packages in the mail today.  It’s going to be one long work day waiting to get home to see all my new goodies!!

Any plans for the weekend?  I’m hoping to have some craft time tomorrow since we don’t have any plans.

Today I’m sharing a layout I made on Sunday. It was created for the 2 Broke Girls NSD Mini Sketch a Thon and a challenge for a Disney scrapbooking group ~ Streetmosphere.  Usually white space drives me crazy but I really like how this layout looks.

TFL!
