Weekend Sketch Challenge #66/Jewelry Color Inspiration #12

Beate is one of my favorite stampers! I love all the cards she creates! So, I always try to use her sketches.


And Stacey, at Stacey's Stamping Stage, must love jewelry (just like me)! She has a fabulous color inspiration based on jewelry she finds online. And the colors...they are fabulous too!


I bought some new Bella Stamps last week, and I was in a rush to use them. I bought all of the new Bitty Blooms, and they are so sweet! So I thought, use one of them, with Stacey's colors and Beate's sketch! WOW! I just love how it came out!

Kristina Werner's Color Inspiration #29

I'm really diggin' this fairy stamp! I can't seem to put it down! And Kristina Werner's Color Inspiration #29 had such bright, vibrant colors that I could just see all over that stamp!


The colors this week are Whisper White, Pumpkin Pie, Elegant Eggplant, Taken With Teal and Pacific Point. What a fabulous color combination!!!


I toned down the Taken With Teal for the leaf and dress of the fairy. I didn't realize how close the Pacific Point and Teal were, and at first, I couldn't tell which one was which, lol. And the Pumpkin Pie was the perfect accent color!


And since it's fairies, I continued with my stickles...I love that stuff! The pictures are a little dark, but I was trying to get them posted before I went to bed.

Fairy card details:
Stamps: Beautiful Fairies (Inkadinkado)
Paper: Jersey Shore (dsp-SU!)
Cardstock: Pacific Point, Taken With Teal, Elegant Eggplant, Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White (SU!)
Ink: Pacific Point, Taken With Teal, Elegant Eggplant, Pumpkin Pie (SU!)
Accessories: ribbon (random), 1" and 1¼ circle punch, stickles

I hope I haven't bored you with the fairies. I promise (hopefully) that I won't use them for a while, lol! Thanks for looking!

Papertake Weekly & Secret Crafter Saturday Challenges

Mia's behaving!!! So I actually have some time to work on stuff. I've started putting together her Disney World scrapbook, and I've found some time to work on some cards.


The Papertake Weekly Challenge was to add some sparkles to a card. And the Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge was to use the above sketch and use the colors pink, brown and white. And despite my disorganized table, my stamps all over the place and trying to learn and do something a little different, I got a card done! I used some sparkly embossing powder, but that didn't sparkle much, so after trying that on one of the snowflakes, I decided to stickle the other. And both look terrific!


I can't seem to get a good picture of the glitter...the backyard is too shady. I'll keep trying, but I'm not sure I'll get one.

HoHoHolidays card details:
Stamps: Snow Burst & Ho-Ho-Holidays (SU!)
Paper: Whisper White, Pretty in Pink, Chocolate Chip (SU!)
Ink: Chocolate Chip (SU!), Versamark WaterMark Stamp Pad
Accessories: Stickles, random ribbon, embossing powders

I hope you like my card! Please check out the above challenges. And thanks for looking!

Fifty Is Nifty!!!

Today is Pam's birthday. Pam is my next door neighbor. She's the big 50!!!!! Her birthday marks the beginning of what all the neighbor's call the Big Birthday Bash! We will all turn the same age over the next 2 months. There's quite a few of us, lol.

As I'm still catching up from last week, I decided to make Pam a card, and combine it with this week's Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge, GREASE!!!


I had sort of planned a card in my head last week, and had thought simple was better, lol. But I really wanted to do something nice for her. So this is what I came up with.


While I was making that card, I kept seeing something different in my head, but to be honest the next card wasn't it. I'll keep trying.


It's still cute, but I think I'll keep this for a teen birthday or something.


I hope you like it! Please check out the Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge. Thanks for looking!
