Design and colour challenge #14!!

Hello everyone!!

I have finally been able to stamp for fun. No class prep with this card at all!!! The only thing I did was follow Heather's (my upline--see her link to the right) design and colour challenge that she holds weekly! So much fun to participate. Her card layout is above and of course my version is posted here. I changed it a bit---my card is a 5x5 card (LOVE SQUARE CARDS!!) and I don't have the curly label punch so just did my own thing. I haven't used my Pun Fun stamp set in ages so that was fun to bring out again too! Her colour challenge was to use Pretty In Pink, Old Olive and Certainly Celery. There you have it! Perfect because now I can use this card for my friend that is due to have a baby girl this summer! Pays to plan ahead I say!!!

Enjoy your Wednesday everyone!!
Take care and thanks for popping in.

Butterflies

Hey all.

So today's card is a simple pocket card. These are typically colours I don't use. I'm usually an earth tone kinda girl BUT the weather has been sunny here lately so I feel like bright colours are in order. Crushed Curry, Melon Mambo and Bermuda Bay are the three main colours used here. All In Colours. Love them together and hope you do too.

The stamp set I used was SU's Flight of the Butterfly. Forgot I even had this set!!! Terrible I know. Love using it and think it's a great fun set!!

Take care and as always thanks for taking the time to visit!

Glad We're Friends

Well hello all!!!

These cards were made some time ago and I realized I haven't posted them yet!! As I've said in the past, when I make my cards I usually make a few at a time just to have them on hand. You never know when you may be in need of a card. This way I can go to my stash and select one that best suits the occasion at hand.

I hope you like these ones. I LOVE SU's Flower Daisies #2 Big Shot Die.So fun!

Take care
Paula

Mambo Birthday

OH MY GOODNESS I'M BACK!!!!
I can't even say how sorry I am for not being consistent here on my blog. Life is busy busy busy for me so my stamping has sadly taken a bit of a back seat. Oh how I miss it though. Last time I stamped was before Christmas! Can you even believe it? I was suffering big time let me tell you.
Well, I got back into my goodies and came up with this card. I am loving the colour Melon Mambo and can't believe I haven't used it sooner! It's beautiful!!
This card was so super easy. I just used my 1 1/4" square punch to puch out 4 pieces of the Melon Mambo DSP and used our new border punch on the black cardstock----a great contrast on the Melon Mambo!!
I hope you like it. I also hope to post a little more frequently!!
Thanks for popping in.

Late Christmas Card

I know I know. Christmas has come and gone BUT let me tell you I had so much fun making these cards that I just had to post it. I ADORED this stamp set that was in the recent Holiday Mini from SU. Snowmen are my favourite! I only made a handful of these cards....especially for my stampin' friends. You know who you are (wink wink).

This was one of my first times using Brocade Blue too. Love it with the Kraft! Great combo.

Take care for now and see ya soon.

ABC Frame

Hello !!

Did you think I had fallen off the face of the earth? Well, nope. Here I am. Holidays were busy as usual and school is taking up most of my time. Stamping is my true love yes but busy busy busy life is getting in the way :(
This particular project I made was an idea from my upline Heather. She made a frame like this and I just selected a white frame and different colour letters to suit my daughters room. She is really into the alphabet song right now so I've hung it in her room. Not only is it cute BUT it's helping her visualize the letters!! GREAT!
I hope you like this project. I used the SU Big Shot to cut the letters.

Thanks for checking in today. Hope you're having a great weekend. HAPPY NEW YEAR TOO!

Warm Winter Wishes

Ahhhh, I just LOVE Christmas. I am a Christmas freak BIG TIME. I love the songs especially. I love the crazy busy malls. I love baking. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Christmas dinner above all. It's just my most favourite meal EVER!
Last year I made a card just like this one only switched it up a bit. I think this set, Season of Friendship is a great set especially if you're starting out. You can incorporate so much with it.....winter, summer, fall and spring. I suppose that's why it's called SEASON of Friendship (DUH). HA HA. Great set, love using it and I hope you like how I've used it.

I hope to get some shopping done soon. I haven't even started!!
Thanks for popping by and I hope you are enjoying this holiday season too!
