Paper Smooches sparks COOL SHADES Challenge

Whaa...? Two posts in one day after a three month absence? YES! I cannot believe it either! I made time for crafting and made the best of it! For this card, I utilized a stamp kit, simply called Travel Kit that I bought back in April, needless to say, this is the first action this stamp kit has seen, but definately not the last! It is so stinkin' cute, as are all of Paper Smooches stamps. I simply cannot resist PS stamps!
Anyway, onto my card. This is for The Paper Smooches Sparks COOL SHADES color challenge. I used My Mind's Eye Dilly Dally dp and coordinating cardstock. The printed twill tape is one of the awesome accent pieces included with the PS Travel Kit.
Thank you so much for stopping by! I would love to hear what you think of my card, and comeback to the crafting blogging world! Lets hope I can keep it up!

Stamps: PS Get Outta Town

Clearly Inspired Challenge #33 -- Things with Wings --

Hello friends! Here we are again .. another 'first friday of the month' I cannot believe it is already August! Not to mention August 5th! My son has been a second grader for 5 days already! Not only is this all true, but it is also time for the Clearly Inspired Challenge over at Lori's blog, Clearlyistamp.

I immediately thought of the Clear Dollar Stamps' Bold Butterflies stamp set, which seems to be my go-to set when it comes to a flying object-hehe-

I also drew some inspiration from the following challenges:

ColourQ #96 --  use Tempting Turquoise, Bashful Blue, Basic Grey, Lucky Limeade and White

and Raise the Bar #69 is back and they are having an 'Anything Goes' challenge this week

Clearly Inspired Challenge #32 -- Color Challenge --

Hello Friends! We find ourselves smack dab in the middle of July, which means alot of HOT weather, and the next installment of the Clearly Inspired Challenge! This time, its a color challenge...

It used to be that all I did was color challenges.. couldnt hardly do anything else. Now, its been awhile since my last color challenge, and it was tough! I love the colors that my BFF, Cassie, chose to challenge us with, but this was really hard for me! AHA! That's why its called a Challenge!! HEHE!!

These colors remind me of the outdoors, especially the Pacific Northwest, where I grew up, so that is why I reached for one of my favorite stamp sets, A Walk in the Park, a former CDS Stamp of the Month. I used my sponge daubers to add the 'grass' and 'sky' using my CDS hybrid inks matching the color challenge. If you dont have these exact colors, just try to get as close as you can.

Now onto the details of the Clearly Inspired Challenge!

Clearly Crafty Crew DT CALL!!

I am SUPER excited to get to share this with you! This card is my submission for the Clearly Crafty Crew Design Team!! (2nd term) The challenge was to follow the sketch, to use bright colors and an embellishment of our choosing. As soon as I saw the sketch, I knew I wanted to use this stamp, Fabulous Fruitstand (CDstamps). This stamp is SO fun to color and it fits perfectly with the bright colors called for in the challenge! I used both tombow markers and prismacolor pencils to color the image as well as paper piecing her shirt with the fun dp, Cosmo Cricket Garden Variety.

I love Clear Dollar Stamps.  The product quality is fantastic and the people are amazing. I am fingers crossed hopeful that I will make the summer DT. It would be such a blessing to me to get to create along side the talented ladies at Clear Dollar. Wish me luck!

I made this card for the sketch challenge at PaperTake Weekly and for the color challenge at Color Throwdown. I pictured the sketch turning out better than it did, but I dont hate it, so I am posting it anyway. The colors for Color Throwdown are: Pink, Olive and Grey. One of my favorite color combos!

This card is one that kind of had a mind of its own, and after some head-scratching, I am happy with how it turned out. Turns out, it qualifies for three challenges! First is the sketch at the Our Creative Corner Sketch Blog. I did end up omiting two minor details of the sketch, but I just could not bring myself to cover up that neat Material Girl dp any more than I absolutely had to! The second is Raise the Bar #9, "Go Green", and the third, Stamp Something's "Cream & Green".

Taylored Expressions # 103 and Color Throwdown#82

Hello! Happy Sunday! Today has been a gorgeous sunny and warm day in the desert southwest! After church, I enjoyed my day redesigning and replanting one of my flowerbeds.  I actually made this card last night and since the sun is setting behind the Franklin Mountains, I will take some time and sit down and post this card. I made this card with two challenges in mind. The first, the Color Throwdown #82 challenge, which is to use Not Quite Navy, Ruby Red, Old Olive and Very Vanilla.  I just love these colors together! It just might be the best of the earth elements color family! The second challenge is the sketch over at Taylored Expressions. I am not sure if a taylored expressions stamp is required but, since I only (as of now) have one Taylored Expressions stamp and I have used it kind of alot lately, I decided to just participate anyway using one of  Clear Dollar Stamps March new releases. 
I paper pieced Charliene's robe twice actually, once for the ruby red trim, and another time for the robe itself. Oh yeah, not to forget the bunny slippers! They are paper pieced as well.
