March Klub

Hi all!
it's a crispy day out there today! Sun shining and Spring is in the air!
We had Kreations Klub last night ... lots of fun, as always.
Here are the kreations we made this month:

First a triangle shaped treat box.... this one can cause a little frustration while getting the "box" to fit inside the triange! Love it when it is done!


Next is a fairly simple Easter card using a stamp from SAB Sweet Summer and the WallPaper embossing folder from Stampin' Up! Here I used the neagtive side of the embossed image .... and of course, some beautiful satin ribbon!

Finally, we made a Joy-fold card.... these are such fun to do! This is a view of the outside... used the butterfly from the Bliss SAB set; large buttons; Adornments...

Here is a view of the inside - the sentiment is from "Herb Expressions" - and you can barely see it but the section on the small flap is a place to write a little note!

Hope you enjoyed your peek here today...come back soon!

Have a wonderful sun-filled day!
Blessings....

Two Challenges In One Card!

Hi everyone!
I love to do this ... incorporate 2 challenges in one card. It makes me go outside the box for sure! so today ... Monday - Mojo Monday always has a new challenge for us. Today it was to use this sketch -

AND - on the weekend CR84FN challenged us to use this color combo on a card....

Now, I must say that when I saw these colors listed together I didn't think I could pull it off... the picture is gorgeous but could I find these colors in my stash of S. Up! paper to meet the challenge? Here is my creation for both of these challenges!

Inside the card....

So - what do you think? Did I make it work? I think so! I really like the finished card... and sometimes that doesn't happen so easily for me! I used Silver and Basic Gray for the "gray" ... not a color I use a lot of! Also used Basic Gray to stamp the frame and inside the card. The ribbon is Basic Gray; the "curly" stamp comes from a SAB set - Sweet Summer... I'm loving this particular stamp! And the DSP is from Paisley Petals ... I talked about the promotion for this DP and Frames in my post yesterday... you might want to check this out! :)

Hope you enjoyed your peek here today. Thanks for stopping by!

Tuesday is our Kreations Klub night ... can't show you the projects yet!!!! I will take some pics and post them later in the week!
Have a great week!
Hugs!

SPRING ... is blossoming!

Hi everyone! I have a Sneak Peek for you today! Gotta love that!

Between April 1 to 30, 2011 you will be able to purchase the Paisley Petals DSP and the Four Frames Stamp Set when you place a $25.00 Stampin' Up! order; or by hosting a $460.00 workshop. This DSP and stamp set will be available after that in the 2011-2012 Idea Book & Catalogue.
As a demonstrator I was able to pre-order these items.... and I have to tell you "I love this DSP".

Here is the first card I made using this paper and stamp set.....

Don't you just love that print???? Wait til you see some of the others! I used Bravo Burgundy, Marina Mist and Whisper White CS. Check out the little bird on the sentiment frame.... used markers to color in the bird. Cut the frame out with the decorative label punch... punched out a couple extra and cut them to make a mat around the "frame".
I hope you enjoyed your peek here today.
Thanks for stopping by!
HUGS!

Sweet Summer!

NO! I'm not hallucinating! I KNOW it is not summer - not even spring yet!
Sweet Summer is the name of the stamp set I used for this card.... it is a Sale-A-Bration set that one can get for free when they purchase $60.00 of Stampin' Up! product.
I was blog hopping this morning and a friend directed me to this awesome blog! I love this gals work ... Elegant and simple at the same time! Check her out - http://www.tenealewilliams.com.au/   You will be glad you did!

Here is my card - i used Concord Crush and Pear Pizzazz as the primary colors; used blender pen and markers to color in and shade the flowers and leaves (colored the flowers with a retired color - lavendar lace).

The pictures truly do not do this card justice! The Concord Crush is so much more vibrant in real life!!!!
I hope this has been a great day!  See you back here soon!
Keep lookin' up!
((((hugs)))
