Stampin' In Alaska

This week Sassy Cathy has asked us to use our favorite color combo over on the Sassy Cheryl's Digi Stamps Challenge Blog .  Well, my current favorite has been Primary colors - blue, green, orange and yellow!  Here's what I created using the new Sassy Sally Pondering Thoughts : The sun die and sentiment are from Lil' Inkers Designs.  The sky was created using the Stampin' Up! Cloud die by Sizzix and blue vellum.  The gingham papers are from Memory Box. Cheryl's " Show Me " challenge is running for two weeks this go around.  Don't forget to stop by and link up whatever is going on in your corner of the world!  If you haven't gotten a chance to share in awhile, it's easy and you might win a FREE Sassy Cheryl digital image. Thanks for stopping by for a closer look!  I always enjoy reading your comments. 

I am so glad that I got a chance to play along with the Friends with Flair Challenge this week!  I've had an idea growing for the past week to use the scrapbook page layout provided on the Be Inspired challenge blog.  It finally came together for me today!  Here is the sample layout provided for the challenge. Here is my take on the layout using an Itty Bitty from Unity called "Destination Happiness"  and the chevron background.  I have also used a scrolled journal block that I received in a freebie bag.  I have to admit that this is definitely not my typical style of scrapbooking.  It was nice to step out of my comfort zone and give it a try!  I also have to admit that this is my first completed page in probably a year.  Yikes! Thanks to Joslyn for the challenge and inspiration to get me back into creating! PS > Sorry for the poor photo!  I never quite know how to photograph a 12x12 scrapbook page.  Tips are alway...

Happy Friday and welcome to another Sweet 'n Sassy Digi Challenge ! It has been a very busy week for me.  We have also gotten over 20 more inches of snow this week then temperatures fell below zero yesterday!  Wowsers!  What happened to Spring this year?! Well, on to our challenge for this week.  Regardless of the weather in your area of the country we want you to "Think Spring" this week.  So, print out your Spring themed digital images and get busy! Here's what I created this week using one of the March digi releases - Magnolia Block : Magnolia Block $3.00 I kept my design simple to focus on the gorgeous magnolia flower.  The image was printed three times and each layer was colored with the new Wink of Stella glitter brush .  The glitter brush works like a dream!  It provides the perfect amount of glitter and is super easy to control.   The center layer was adhered with dimensional tape and the petal edges ...

Oh my goodness, I am running so behind with the Sassy Cheryl challenge this week!  I had an idea all planned out then it changed completely this weekend.  Yikes! Here's what I've created using a Noah image He Is Loved : The sentiment is from Create with TLC called Promoted to Big Brother .  The fancy edge along the top is a Martha Stewart border punch.  There is also a fancy edge to the sentiment using Spellbinder nestibilities.  The clouds were sponged and die cuts were used from My Favorite Things Woodgrain Fence and Impression Obsession grass die.  Thanks for stopping by for a closer look!

Hi!  I hope your weekend is going well.  My hopes of an early Spring were dashed today with a very heavy snowfall in Anchorage.  Oh well, at least the temperatures are staying above zero! I have been looking for an "excuse" to use this sweet Birdie Brown image called Friends - Puppy & Chick .  Torico's  2nd Birthday celebration of Birdie Brown is the perfect opportunity with her "Anything Goes" theme.  The digital sentiment is from Create with TLC . This is also for TSG199 - Anything Goes Challenge on the There She Goes blog. Supplies used for this card: MME Reunion Paper Pad Stampin' Up! Crumb Cake Cardstock Wilton 4 inch Doilies The Robin's Nest Dew Drops Inkssentials Glossy Accents Prisma Flowers

A quick post to share my clean and simple design for the Unity Friends with Flair and Be Inspired challenges.  Below is the color inspiration that I chose to use for my card from the Be Inspired Challenge: I used several Memento Dew Drop inks for a direct to paper application.  I took advantage of Angela's recent sale to buy 1 Itty Bitty and get the second for a penny.  Really, who could resist?!  Anywho, I received my order this week and the " Talk Nerdy " image was just calling to be inked up! I added a few gems and added a partial sentiment from the "Bubbles of Fun" set by Phyllis Harris.  Thanks for stopping by for a closer look!  I always enjoy reading your comments.
