Wonderful You

Howdy!  I'm glad that you could stop by today and have a look around.  I really do love to paper craft, and being on different design teams actually gives me an excuse to be in my craft room.  I mean that I would already be in there, but now I have an legitimate reason. (smile)

The talented Jennifer, is the creator of this week's sketch over @ Sketch Frenzy Friday.  And this week's sketch is easy to work with.  I had fun making  this card.  Here is Jennifer's sketch:

I am a big fan of using what you have.  I'm also a fan of mix and match.  I believe all paper lines have potential to wow ya!  One of the requirements of playing along with Sketch Frenzy Friday, is that you use Stampin' Up!products.  So, in my usual fashion, I mix and matched different DSP collections.  I really loved the polka dot pattern paper from Berry Blossoms DSP.  And the loved the large yellow medions from the Flirtatious DSP.  So, I used scrap pieces of each.  There is a beautifully-font, word stamp set from the new occasions mini catalog: Loving Thoughts.  So, I combined the three and here is what I came up with:

I used some of the new bakers twine and tied a button to the bow.  I added a left over crochet flower and yellow rhinestone brad.  Elegantly simply.  Now, head over to Tammy F.'s blog, and continue with the blog hop.

Here is a card that I made Sunday morning. I used two past challenges to create it. I know, you're suppose to create something to enter a current challenge. But, I really loved the layout of one challenge, and the color combo of another. So, I combined them, and this is what I made.

I used all Stampin' Up! products on this card. A little stamping, some laying, and viola!

I sponged some of the champagne shimmer mist on the tags, and flowers. You know, just to give them a translucent gold-ish metallic shimmer. The flourish is from Friends 24-7 stamp set. The friends is from With All My Heart stamp set. I used two different textured flowers, a paper flower and a crochet flower. Both were sponged with the shimmer paint. A neutral glimmer brad gave the crochet flower a nice balance, and helps hold the color combo in the card. I added some of the rhinestone jewels, to help give the card some polished bling.

Thank you for looking! Leave me a comment, and let me know what you think. Have a great week!
