Fancy Friday- Color Challenge

 
 
 
 Welcome to our Monthly Fancy Friday blog hop! 
This month we have a color challenge to play with & here is my card...
 
 
I was not only inspired by the colors but also by the flowers!
I couldn't wait to use this adorable window frame & when I saw the graphic I knew exactly what I wanted to do! We will be playing with these little windows at our Stamp Therapy night!
 
Speaking of that I need to get back to preparing the projects for class so hop on over to see what Cathy has created!

Stampin Up Artisan Blog Hop- Market Fresh

Welcome to this weeks ADT Blog Hop!
I am pretty excited to hop along & see what the Team has created with the Market Fresh product suite!
I couldn't wait to put my paper snips to work as soon as I opened this beautiful DSP...Take a Look-

 
 
Doesn't it look like I did some fancy water coloring?!
Well besides fussy cutting this was an easy peasy card! I stamped the sentiment & added it to the pre colored DSP which has been transformed in to my fabulous focal point!
 
But just in case all that fussy cutting is not your cup of tea, just grab a punch & create something like this... 
 
Ok lets run over to see what Sarah has created!

#tgifc17- Back to School

I can totally say T.G.I.F.!
This was our first full week of school & the 6am wake up calls are killing me. Lol!
#yayforweekends
 
Well before we start celebrating that Saturday morning sleep in we must get through our Friday & that means...yup another TGIF Challenge is up!
 
  
 Perfect theme for this time of year, I'd say! This is the first year that I am not our girls primary teacher. Yes that's right they have embarked on the public school adventure. Of course it was me that wanted to cry as they bounced away excited to explore their new classrooms. So on the long...well not that long but definitely lonely drive home I started thinking about what I would do with my new found freedom.
Let's just say it didn't take long to figure it out so how about we look at my card....
 
 
Ah yes the joys of stamping in solitude, a pleasure I usually only get once in a blue moon.
Kind of liking it! So a Thank You card was in order for each of the new teachers that my kids will be spending the bulk of their day with.
Thank you for helping my kids expand their minds, learn new skills, & most importantly giving me back my sanity-LOL kidding well kinda.
 
Just in case you missed the video I posted yesterday about those awesome new framelits click HERE!
 
Alrighty thats all I have for today but the TGIF Team has so awesome inspiration up for your viewing pleasure so make sure you head on over there!

Stampin Up Artisan Blog Hop- Garden in Bloom

Welcome to this week's Artisan Design Team Blog Hop!
 
Today we get to share the projects we made for the Stampin Up Facebook page!
This week we are focusing on the Garden in Bloom product suite...
I couldn't wait to cut in to that beautiful paper-
 
 
It's so pretty that I really didn't want to cover it up too much so I just
added a few supporting cast members but let the DSP take center stage!
Here's a closer look...

 
 

 
I love the variety I was able to get with all these beautiful water colored patterns,
from a very soft subtle to a regal color palette! And they all look so pretty!
 
I'm working on featuring these on the next Quick & Cute video to show
how to maximize the DSP- #staytuned
 
Make sure to subscribe to my YouTube Channel so you don't miss it!
Since my girls are in school this year I will be taking advantage of the quiet time to
hopefully make lots of videos!
 
I can't wait to see what Sarah & the rest of the Team has made & I'm sure you can't either so let's click on the "next" button before the suspense kills me!

Freshly Made Sketches #200



Hey! Welcome to the Party!
I was so excited to be invited to represent Stampin Up for the big FMS celebration!

Sometimes the simplest sketches really challenge you & it took me a minute to come up with my interpretation of this sketch....take a look...

 
Tried to keep it very clean & simple but still adding a little pizzaz!
 
 
And just in case you would like to see my little tricks to jazz it up a bit I made a video for you!
