Demo Luncheon Packages

Today was one of my Demo Luncheons but we agreed to make it simple so we would have more time for chatting and working on Convention Projects! Here is what I served using the new DSP for decorations. Enjoy!

Paper Players DOMED BOX TOP

My new granddaughter arrived yesterday and while I anxiously awaited  her birth I created this pretty DOMED COVERED BOX filled with soft light wishes for her life. She already reminds me of Snow White!
The colors of Pool Party, a touch of Soft Sky, Calypso Coral, So Saffron and Early Espresso were perfect for the Paper Players Challenge too!

Baby Arrival

SORRY friends, no card today because Gracie is coming into this world! I am busy pacing, and can't wait to meet my third grandchild! See you soon!

Here She Is

Distressed Fun

Today's card is for three challenges. One was to use Fruit at Flourishes  and the other was to make a Masculine Card at Stampin Royalty and  Tuesday Taggers. Here I used Smopkey Slate, Basic Black and Soft Suede to create a male color theme and added some distressing by running a marker over my diagonal Simply Scored board. Enjoy!

Color Block in SMOKEY PISTACHIO CANTELOPE!

I am really enjoying the new colors for the 2013-2014 Stampin' UP! collection. They are fresh and fun especially when used in combination with one another. Here I sponged some color blocks and added a couple of flowers and an embossed area to make a pretty everyday card. ENJOY!

Jumpin' Hello to you!

Today's card is for the nautical color theme over at Crafty Play Date. I made a traditional looking background and then used a non traditional image for a whimsical surpirse. Enjoy your day!

Fun with a few Challenges

This card is for the sketch at Freshly Made using the colors from the challenge at Color Throw Down 
Enjoy!

CRISP CANTELOPE CITY CRAFTERS CHALLENGE

 

I loved the picture for the color challenge over at City Crafter and used it to create my version of flowers in a vase using Crisp Cantelope, Smokey Slate, and Pistachio Pudding . What fun FRESh colors all in the NEW 2013-2014 Stampin' UP! catalog.

Baby Sprinkle and Class

 

Good Friday and Happy Weekend Wishes!

I hosted a

Baby Sprinkle

last night for my daughter. I had never heard the phrase until recently but it is a perfect saying for a small token shower for a multiple time mom to be. I also managed to serve the guests and make four cards all before 8:30 too!

 

So, here are a few cards we did last night in class. The Brown toned one uses the new Baked Brown Sugar Ink sponged for the front using a mask . The Green toned one uses the new Pistachio Pudding and the flower on the left is matted with Smokey Slate. This color combo was a hit with my girls!

 Inside I used Crumb Cake for the banner design and stamped the sentiment in Baked Brown Sugar.

The last two cards were practically cased. The Honey Comb design was inspired by Laura Laffke and the legos are all over the internet so I am not sure who began that idea but the girls loved that too.

I am doing better on decorating the inside of my cards too thanks to the inspiration of

Robbie Rubala!

 

 

I am sending warm Birthday Wishes to Amanda over at Crafty Play Date so why not help me suprpirse her with dozens of Birthday Wishes in her comment section!

SPRING PROJECTS!

Hey Stampers! I have a couple of cards and projects to show you today. First some of you probably know it is that time of year again and that means  my
Grand-daughter's Ballet Recital is coming up. Here is the card I made for her this year. In years past I have used the same template but it was a bit more babyish. This year she is a big girl of 5 and loves BLING so I added some to the tutu.  Oh my what can I expect at 16 LOL!

I have added pictures of some of the other designs I have made using this same template below for baby cards. This template is so much fun especially with the rounded bottom! So be sure to browse my store for lots of fun ideas to inspire you too!

Now as you also know I have been showcasing designers from Craft Project Central here on my blog this month. I hope you have enjoyed them. So, now it is my turn and here is the project I amde for them. It is a variation of the leather satchel I did last fall. I hope you enjoy it with the Swallowtail Butterfly!
