Congratulations - Freshly Made Sketches

To make Sydney's card ( see previous post), I turned to Freshly Made Sketches. Their clean and simple sketches are my new "go to" sketch site and the design team is amazingly talented. The 3 1/4" x 6 1/2" sketch really caught my eye. I used the new Spring Fever Simply Scrappin' paper for a cheery color combination. The colors really do make one long for spring.

Stamps - Furry Folk, Mixed Bunch, Silhouette Sentiments
Ink - basic black, daffodil delight, melon mambo, pear pizzazz, crumb cake, basic gray, chocolate chip
Paper - Simply Scrappin' Spring Fever DSP, pear pizzazz, daffodil delight, whisper white card stock
Accessories - Blossom Punch, Pear Pizzazz Pleated Ribbon, Modern Lable Punch, Word Window Punch, 1" Circle Punch, dimensionals.

The Paper Players - Non-Holiday/Christmas Challenge - MDS Hybrid

WOW! I can't believe my time as a guest designer for The Paper Players is almost up. I have just one more project with the team next week and then I will go back to entering the challenges. My, how time flies when you are having fun! This week Nance has a fun challenge for us to use non-holiday stamps or color combinations to create a Christmas card.

I knew I wanted to use Calypso Coral and Pear Pizzaz ( don't know where my brain picked that from). Since the color combination is a little modern and youthful I decided to use my Furry Folk set and went from there. I had a scene in my head but no paper to match SO I turned once again to My Digital Studio. I created the background paper using digital paper and stamps. It was rather fun and I am really starting to see endless possibilities with MDS.

I printed out this sentiment on whisper white card stock, then stamped the images around it. I just love this little hedgie! A little glimmer paper border, ribbon and jewels and it is finished. Non- holiday stamp with non-holiday colors.

I had some company in the closet while while I was working and had to post these pictures.

Sympathy Cards

I love to make cards but absolutely do not enjoy making sympathy cards and these are for a very sad occasion. My husband is the coach of my son's flag football team and yesterday one of our boy's father passed away. He was such an involved father and a constant at every practice and game. It is heartbreaking and we are all shocked and saddened. I made the first card for the team to give to their team mate who is now without his dad. I think the sentiments are just perfect for how the boys feel. I wanted to post these for you so you can see how great the Petite Pairs set is and how apropos the sentiments are.

The second card is for his mother.

1st Card

Paper - Spice Cake DSP, early espresso and more mustard card stock, watercolor paper

Ink - Stazon black, crumb cake, soft suede, chocolate chip, more mustard, pear pizzazz

The Paper Players Birthday Challenge

I am so honored to be chosen as a guest designer for The Paper Players challenge blog. I hope you play along each week and are inspired by all the amazing talent of the design team.

This week's challenge is a birthday challenge. I have been anxious to ink up these cute little FURRY FOLK from the new Idea Book and Catalog. This set caught my eye right away and I think the images can be very versatile. I thought the little critters would combine well with the cheery colors of SPICE CAKE designer series papers ( yummy!). Megan has already claimed this card for one of her friends.

Pop on over to The Paper Players challenge blog and play along.
