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 #99

In today's challenge, I used my scraps! I am getting too much in my scrap pile, so I figured I would get busy getting rid of them!

Can't say No to a good sale...

Hello! Let me start by saying that yes, I am a Stampin' Up! Demo. And while I think our products are FABULOUS and encourage everyone to buy them (especially from me!), I have been bad. Really bad. You see, I got an email from JoAnn Fabrics a few days ago alerting me to a sale they are having. A pretty flippin' good one, as a matter of fact. And I couldn't help myself. I. WENT. NUTS. I spent waaaaaay more than I should have, but I got some really cute stuff! I justify all this by saying that I have a weakness for good sales, and if I didn't get this stuff, I would kick myself later. ;)

Anyhow, this card is using my favorite new In Color, Melon Mambo. I had so much fun playing with some of the other things I bought yesterday. I think I am going to make this card into a set with a cute box. Hmmm....stay tuned! :)

Notepads!

Hello!! My project for today is altered notepads! I did these for a meeting that I had at my house today. It is functional, but also served as sort of a gift to thank them for all the hard work that we have ahead! :) As you can see, I am using one of the new In Colors in the first set. Of all the new colors, I think Melon Mambo is my fav. I love this shade of pink so much! I also used the new Polka Dot Ribbon in Melon Mambo. The patterned paper is more from my stash, that I am slowly starting to let see the light of day. The second set is using Pacific Point as the main color. It is from the 2008 In Colors, and is my favorite from that group. I just love how Real Red looks with it! If you can believe it, I still had some paper left over from my One Sheet Wonder project from a few weeks ago! I made a bunch of cards with it, and still had some left over. I LOVE that technique!

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!
