FIrst In Fashion Flashback

Happy Friday!

So, this was supposed to be for Beate's weekend sketch challenge. Whoopsie! Once again, didn't quite work out. The panel with the purse is too big. LOL! So I improvised with the pieces I had and this is what I came up with. I love the "new" layout! :) I made six of these for a fashion-themed swap. I specifically joined the swap to use SU First In Fashion (retired). 

Recipe:

Sets: First In Fashion

CS: Tempting Turquoise, Purely Pomegranate, Old Olive, WW, Petals and Paisleys DSP (retired)

Ink: Tempting Turquoise, Purely Pomegranate

Have a good night! :) I'll try Beate's sketch again tomorrow! :) 

And now....a card!

Now that I'm done with my baseball "fix" for awhile, here is a card I created this week for an Inkadinkado swap on SCS. I love this stamp (sorry about the poor photography on this one!) I love the DP - it's from American Crafts. The rest of the recipe:

First....Where have I been?

Hi Everyone, 

hope you had a fantastic Memorial Day Weekend. Would you believe I did not do any stamping??? Scary yes...but it happened. LOL! Actually, I went on a weekend baseball trip to Chicago. It was wonderful! The picture above is from the 2nd of 3 games I went to. I like this picture because I'm wearing a Cubs shirt at the home park for the Chicago White Sox (in case you don't know, that's normally not a good idea - LOL!) So we saw the White Sox play the Angels Saturday and Sunday, and then Memorial Day we were at Wrigley Field watching the Cubs (they won YAY!). I was with a group of 23-25 people from Jay Buckley Baseball Tours. We also got some free-time downtown, and had a really nice lunch at Harry Caray's Restaurant.....ok now back to your normally scheduled stamping program...LOL!

More Happy Hippos

Hi all, 

been a little AWOL again, lots going on around here so I have not been able to post much. But here is a card I made last night for a Gina K Designs Release Party Sketch Challenge. :) I was happy I got it done! LOL! The Hippo is from So Hippy (Gina K). I colored him/her (??) with my SU Taken With Teal Water Color Crayon, and then used my Blender Pens to finish it off. I didn't have a circle punch (gasp!) so I traced a circle and cut it out. The scallop was made with a .75" circle punch. 

I'm going out of town this weekend (baseball trip to Chicago) but will have at least one card to post tomorrow before I take off! :) 

Have a good night!

SC174 Terrific Topiary

Here is my card for the Wednesday Sketch Challenge. I love oblong cards! This one started as a 8X9" piece of Old Olive Cardstock, scored at 4" on the 8" side, and then scored again at .75". The stamp is from Gina K Designs (Thinking of you). The picture is not very good, but there is a SU Rhinestone Brad on the top flower. I used my nestabilities for the ovals. The Old Olive PolyTwill Ribbon is from the current SU Mini Catalog. 

I plan to get some more cards done today! :) thanks for looking!

WSC46 - Happy Everything

This is for Beate's weekend sketch challenge. I did this tonight when I got home from work. Lots of layering, but that tends to be my style. I played a but with the flower piece, pretty happy with the results! I'l have another oblong card to share tomorrow for the SCS Wednesday Sketch. 

The recipe for this card can be found in my SCS Gallery by clicking HERE

Have a super night! 

CC164 & more hippos...

I am going to so miss these colors when they go away in a few months! This is for this weeks color challenge (Sofy Sky, Basic Black, and Purely Pomegranate. When I saw this combo last night, I knew EXACTLY what the card was going to look like. Don't you LOVE those kind of cards? I do! The stamp sets are So Hippy and Hip-Hop Accessories (Melanie for Gina K Designs). OK I have a confession to make, I am addicted to these sets right now! LOL! I guess that is a good thing! All paper/supplies are SU, with the exception of the cute black polka dot paper, which is Martha Stewart (found my my halloween stash of all places!) 

Have a good night!
