New In Colors...in bloom

Ok, so you have seen me use Melon Mambo. A LOT. This is my attempt at using all 6 of the new In Colors. In keeping with my Rose theme, (and I promise you, I am almost done with this set for a little while!) here is a set of 2 3x3s and 4 5x4s. I have the new polka dot ribbon, but I thought that the black ribbon look a bit more elegant. Enjoy!


2010 In Colors: Bermuda Bay, Melon Mambo, Rich Razzleberry, Crushed Curry, Soft Suede, and Dusty Durango

This set was created using the One Sheet Wonder technique. Although I didn't make my own designer paper, it was some I bought at that awesome sale I told you about in my last post! :) I also used the roses I made when I was playing with my Stampin' Pastels last week. I still have a lot left, so you will see more projects using them! Thanks for your continued support, and have a GREAT day! :)

Mojo Monday..on Tuesday

Hello! My card for today is my entry in the Mojo Monday challenge. I actually had it done yesterday, but it still looked unfinished to me, so I didn't upload it. It STILL looks unfinished to me today, but, oh well.

Anyway, I sm still continuing to go outside of my comfort zone with this card. I am not much for floral print, but I have been playing around with the A Rose is a Rose stamp set. Since I paid for it, I might as well use it, right? :) This set has two step stamps, but with the rose on this card, I just used the detail stamp, and used my Stampin' Pastels to color it. I have also been playing with my pastels a lot lately, because last week one of my club members asked me about them. I was kind of 'meh' about them, because I don't really like the texture of chalk. But, after actually sitting down with them and really using them, I found that I REALLY like them. Thanks Tamie!

Do you think I should add to it? If so, what? Thanks in advance! Have a great day!

Back from a break...

Hello All! Sorry I haven't posted, my family came to visit! We had so much fun, I didn't want it to end. But alas, back to work...

My project today was done with my Mom and Me Card Club. The patterned paper we used was Raspberry Tart Designer Series Paper. Although Stampin' Up! has retired this very pretty paper, I have lots of it, and will use it until it is gone! :) This set includes 4-5 1/2 x 4 1/4 cards, 3-3x3 cards, and 4 gift tags. It also has an address book, a pen, and a little pocket for your stamps. This set makes a great gift!





Have a great day!

Stamps: So Very, A Rose is a Rose
Paper: Raspberry Tart DSP, Whisper White, Pink Pirouette, Kiwi Kiss
Ink: Basic Black, Pixie Pink

My first Mojo Monday

Hi! I have completed my first card in the Mojo Monday challenge! I really enjoyed myself, and it made coming up with a card in a short time REALLY easy! I think this is going to be a part of my card making routine!

This is the sketch that I had to work with...



And this is what I came up with! With this card, I forced myself to use supplies that I rarely use, and a stamp set I have never used. I tend to prefer bold shapes and colors, but I ordered this stamp set to do something different. I really like how it turned out.
