Tess for The Paper Players

Today, I wanted to start to get into the swing of challenges. I really like participating in different challenges because most of the time I get out of my comfort zone. This week The Paper Players are having a sketch challenge. Sometimes the sketch challenges are the hardest for me but not this week. I knew when I saw the sketch I was going to use Totally Tess. I only recently acquired this set and I absolutely love it!

I had a little block when it came to the colors that I was going to use. I only have one set of DSP and that is the Play Date set. When I was going through the papers, I stopped on this one, knowing it was perfect. I wanted to coordinate her bag with the background paper so I stamped it in Staz On and cut it out. The Pretty in Pink came into play because I have just recently completed baby shower invites and it was the color on top of my stack.

I just love the new Four Frames set that will be in the new catalog; don't you!?! I am so happy that it goes perfectly with the designer label punch.

I hope you enjoy this card and have a great weekend! Leave me a comment to tell me what you think.

Christmas Presents

This is one that I saw some where in the blogosphere. I don't remember where I saw it or even when I first saw it. I knew that I had to CASE it and if someone knows where it came from, please let me know so that I can give them proper credit. I used Play Date Designer Paper cut into different sizes and stacked them on top of each other. The ribbon is 5/8" Real Red grossgrain. The "Merry Christmas" is from Teeny Tiny Wishes. This card is a great clean and simple card and only took me minutes to put together. I hope you enjoy.

Thanks for visiting and see you next time.




Happy Thanksgiving!

My first scrapbook progression!

Here it is! My first scrapbook page progression! I am so happy with how it turned out. I am going to have my customers at a workshop make the 6x6 page and then so them how to make the 8.5x11 and then the 12x12 page. I have fallen in love with the Play Date DSP from Stampin' Up! I think it is the perfect paper for a Summer birthday!

Here is the 6x6 page.I used a strip of the flower DSP for this one. The cupcake is from the Crazy for Cupcakes stamp set. I stamped it on Whisper White and colored it with the coordinating colors from the DSP.
Up next is the 8.5x11 page.
I used the Cupcakes wheel and Versamark for the cupcakes on the top of the page. The balloons are stamped on card stock, cut out and layered on the page (some have dimensionals). The So Saffron in the middle is from the Play Date DSP. The rectangle layer is where I will put some journaling and the square is for another photo.

Here is the 6x6 layered with the 8.5x11.An last but not least, the 12x12 page.
This one was super easy. I cut a strip of the Chocolate Chip numbers from the Play Date DSP and layered the number "4" from the colored sheet over top. I used a wire clip from the Clips Assortment to give it some definition. The sentiment is from the On Your Birthday stamp set. The final two squares are for two more photos. I don't have any photos to put in them because I plan on using this page for my son's birthday in a couple months.

Thanks for visiting and see you next time.

Greeting Card Back to School

How cute is this stamp set?! This set is called Greeting Card Kids and it is my new favorite! These little kids are so cute and versatile. I am going to give this card to my daughter's second grade teacher for back to school. You could also give this card to any parent whose child is going off to college or your own child going off to college as a "miss you" card.

This layout is for Mojo Monday. I decided to use different patterns from the Play Date Designer Paper Pack. I got this pack for FREE at Convention in July!

Remember that you have until the end of August to host a $350 workshop in order to get your extra $25 hostess freebie. Contact me today to book your workshop.
