Happy Birthday Deb...

For a sweet lady and one of our Tuesday Riders, Deb for her birthday.  This was also for the Splitcoaststampers Dirty Dozen Design Team Challenge, Deja Hue...a play on words with Deja Vu: the illusion of remembering scene ad events when experienced for the first time.  Instead of scenes and events, remember colors (hues!)  Ideas were- to be inspired by a SCS Color Combination Challenge.  Make a new card inspired by the colors of an older card in our gallery.  Make a project using a color combination that has meaning in your life- a wedding, schools colors,  favorite sports team etc.  Try any coloring tutorial.

I used CC1015 (Melon Mambo, Pretty in Pink, Mossy Meadow) for my color inspiration.
Supplies I used were-
Stampin' Up Fifth Avenue Floral, My Favorite Things Itty Bitty Birthday stamp sets.
Melon Mambo, Pretty in Pink, Mossy Meadow card stock.
MFT Elegant Stitched Stax, Royal Leaves, and Itty Bitty Strips die-namics.

  

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Kindness is Natural to Nancy...

I was on the hunt for a shaker cup I was given a couple years ago from a nutrition class from Natural Grocers.  It's the most amazing shaker cup!  It has this little cup under the shaker cup that you can put your post workout powder in, it's a total game changer!  I wanted to find one to give to my friend and wasn't having any luck until I met this sweet lady Nancy at Natural Grocers.  We walked all over the store looking, and after I explained in detail what it was I was looking for, she realized she had an extra one and gave it to me!  It turned out she was the new nutritionist, just my luck!!!  To thank her for her kindness, I made her this card and will be dropping it off by her store tomorrow. 

I used this weeks SCS color challenge, CC773- Early Espresso, Balmy Blue (I didn't have any so I used Coastal Cabana), and So Saffron.  I used Stampin' Ups Mosian Madness and My favorite things Pretty Poppies sentiment.  Accessories- cuttlebug folder, mosiac madness punch and popdots.  I also used this weeks SCS sketch challenge SC783.

Thank you so much for looking.

Fabulous Friends...

Our "car club" friends had us over for dinner last weekend.  We had Baked Ziti and Caprese Salad.  It was the first time my hubs and I had eaten both and we both thought it was pretty yummy!  We went to see Sherlock Holmes afterwards, what a fabulous movie!  It was long, but one of those movies that is so good it just flies by.  Anyhow...I made them this card to thank them for dinner and for a nice evening out=)

As always I start out with Memento Ink, Neenah, and my Copics.  My image, Neighbor is by Unity Stamps (it was one of the stamps they sent from my SFYTT win, thank-you Unity!)  I used a glaze pen on the windows and roof and outlined the image with a glitter pen.  SU Photo Corner Punch for the tag, sentiment from SU Right at Home set.  Nesties, Die-Namics, CB Folder, Island Indigo, Pool Party and EP Little Boy paper.  I used this week's SCS CC360- Island Indigo, Pool Party, and White.  For my sketch I used Day 3 of the CPS 5th Anniversary Challenge, CPS54.

Thank-you so much for stopping by.  I hope you have a fabulous day!

Just Stomping By...

Another card I made with no one in mind=)  I've seen the CAS-ual Fridays Challenges since they started but have yet to play along.  So finally, I'm giving it a go=)  For this weeks CFC37, they had a sketch challenge...my favorite=)  I also wanted to play along in Denami Design Theme Challenge #9, which is anything goes.  

I started off stamping the Polka Dot Background in Lucky Limade then stamping the Elephant on top of the polkadots and cutting it out.  Nesties for my Basic Black and Poppy Parade panels.  I stamped the Three Line Border in Memento Ink on Lucky Limeade then ran it through a CB Folder.  I stamped my Sentiment in Memento Ink on Neenah, using SU's Photo Corner Punch to make my tag.  Prima flowers and a black rhinestone.  This is also my entry for this week's SCS CC359, Basic Black, Lucky Limeade, and Poppy Parade.

Thank-you for stopping by.  I hope ya'll have had a great weekend. 

World Aids Day...

Though my post is late in the evening, I made this for World Aids Day.  It's in honor of someone I've never met, Mondo of this season's Project Runway.  He's secretly lived with Aids for 10 years of his life, not telling anyone.  I can not imagine living with a secret as big as living with Aids...can you imagine not having a soul know your secret, not having anyone to lean on for support during your lowest of times?  I don't know that I could do it.  His strength and courage to let his secret be known on national tv was absolutely touching.  I've never cried more watching a reality show before.  He was amazing on Project Runway and I still say he should've won, lol.  He created a t-shirt for World Aids Day, it can be found HERE.

I used this weeks SCS CC299, which was Real Red, Old Olive, and River Rock.  I stamped the Tree from Branch Out in Chocolate Chip on River Rock Cardstock.  I stamped the leaf thingies in Certainly Celery and Old Olive then sponged more Old Olive on top.  I stamped a line of butterflies in Real Red across the tree.  I used Martha Stewart Punches and Denami Design Ribbon.

Thank-you for stopping by.  Hope ya'll enjoy the rest of your week.  I'm getting my hair cut and shopping for a dress for one of my hubs Christmas Parties on Thursday=)
