This week's Runway Inspired Challenge photo seemed a perfect match for Papertrey's Live Love Life set. I used a small piece of striped paper to ground the stamped base.

Thanks for stopping by! Hope you have a good weekend.

Paper:Papertrey Ink Smokey Shadow, Pure Poppy Striped Patterned, & Neenah White
Stamps: Papertrey Ink Live Love Life

CAS(E) this Sketch #37

For my interpretation of this week's CAS(E)This Sketch, I decided to use stars in place of the hexagons.

I stamped some dotted bursts around the stars in Soft Stone. Might be easier to see in this picture.

Hope you are getting some creative time in. I finally am! Thanks for stopping by.

Supplies:
Paper: Papertrey Ink Soft Stone cardstock & patterned paper
Ink: Papertrey Pure Poppy, Orange Zest, & Soft Stone and Momento Teal Zeal
Stamps: Papertrey Super Stars & Let Freedom Ring, Hero Arts Everyday Sentiments

Playdate Cafe #191

Time for another great color combination at Play Date Cafe. This week's colors are very melony (is that a word?). These softer colors inspired me to make a Thinking of You card.

I embossed a linen background to the base for a little texture and added a border of kraft to the cream to help it stand out a bit.

Thanks for taking a look.

Supplies:
Paper: Memory Box cardbase, PTI Kraft & Vintage Cream
Stamps: PTI Botanical Silhouttes & Fillable Frames Sentiments
Ink: Versamagic Pumpkin Spice, PTI Kraft, & Momento New Sprout
Other: PTI Linen Embossing Plate, American Crafts Twine

ColourQ #198

This week's colors at ColourQ inspired me to use a modern medallion from one of my favorite sets - Papertrey's Sketched Shapes. Think these colors work great for either a male or female recipient.

Thanks for taking a peek.

Supplies:
Paper: PTI Simply Chartreuse, Neenah White
Stamps: PTI Sketched Shapes & Thanks All Ways
Ink: Momento Teal Zeal, PTI Simply Chartreuse, Hawaiian Shores, & Autumn Rose

Summer Card Camp Week 2 Day 3

I'm playing catch up with the Summer Card Camp since I was away last week. I decided to jump in with Week 2 and work my way backward when I have time. Week 2 brings a more masculine softer color palette.

Here's a card I made using one of this week's sketches. I attempted one of the featured techniques of creating my own plaid. Unfortunately I do not have a suitable solid line stamp in my stash so I created a border using the letter X on its side stamped with the alternating colors. Not quite plaid but I think it looks pretty good!

The front panel is cut so that the inside border can be seen from the front and the flowers are hanging off the edge. Love this look and need to remember to do this more often! This picture shows the detail on the border a little better -

ETA: I am also adding this card into the Moxie Fab Birthday Card Challenge!

So much more from this class to come. Thanks for stopping by!

Supplies:
Paper: Neenah White
Ink: Papertrey Ink Limeade Ice, Aqua Mist, New Leaf, and Dark Chocolate
Stamps: Papertrey Ink Flower Fusion 3, Birthday Basics, and Headline Alphabet
Other: PTI Flower Fusion 3 Die, Keizercraft Bling

Be Back Soon

Hi everyone -

I'm getting back from a week away at the Outer Banks, NC with my family. It was so relaxing, weather was gorgeous, and great to spend time with my extended family. Its been tough getting back into the routine of everyday life and finding little time for my creative pursuits. I keep wishing I am back at the beach....

See the rainbow peeking from behind the clouds? It was truly amazing.

Will hopefully be posting soon as my favorite challenges and Summer Card Camp 2 await me....

Have a good day!
