Wow, this month is off to a fast start! That always seems to be the problems with short weeks. As I sit here, I realize all the things I have yet to do this week, and the list keeps growing. But, I won't fret. Here is how I see it: I'll do what I can. No more and no less. I finished my home chores for the week yesterday. And the few days I have at home this week, I'll try to squeeze everything else in. I have a few items that have to be taken care of each day, so I'm not too over whelmed. And then I still have all my blog things to do. design teams I still need to create for, posts that need to be written, and of course, paper crafts that need to be created.
In the mean time, the wonderful talented ladies over @ Stampin' Queens Sketch Challenge have a great sketch for you to work with. Here is the sketch:
For this challenge, we are to use only Stampin' Up! products. But, I'm probably like most of you, in that I don't have alot of disposable income to spend on my hobby these days. So, I have opted to purchase some Designer Series Paper, and a few embellishments. That way, I can spend $10 or so and have a few new things to 'play' with.
Here is my card:
The DSP is called Attic Boutique. Isn't is just gorgeous? I just love how the images look crisp and vintage. I wanted to showcase the different patterns. But, I wanted a 'hand-crafted' paper piece, so I got my inspiration from a quilt square called a 'log cabin'. I think its pretty interesting, and has a 'home-y' feel to it. So, I cut my pattern paper, adhered it to a cardstock square and matted it onto Calyso Coral. I wanted my solid cardstock to match my DSP, so I used my Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder so the very vanilla cardstock wouldn't look so stark. I didn't want my card base to compete with the pattern paper, so the card base is crumb cake.
I couldn't decide between the very vanilla satin ribbon and the calypso coral ruffle ribbon. So, I added them together.
Thank you for looking, and please play along with us. This sketch is very user-friendly.
