Stampin Up, Saying good bye to SAB, and Mojo monday 391

Yup, today is the very last day to order and receive free goodies from the SAB catalog.  Some very cute items in there and I am going to miss them.

One is the papers you see here, both the stripe and the leaves.  The come all white in different patterns, with resist. You simply use a marker or sponge to put color on, then wipe what remains of the color on the resist part.   I love these. I am really hoping we see some more of this kind of paper in the new catty which comes out in June.
My colors today are Elegant Eggplant, So Saffron, Garden green and I did add that Hello Honey ribbon, I love how it is perfect with the So Saffron. 

I also used the Spring Flowers embossing folder, not sure why I forgot about it, I just love this one.

Here is todays sketch:

Here we are, another Mojo Monday Sketch! I love mondays, I hop out of bed, make coffee (nothing comes before coffee) and off to my room to see what this weeks sketch looks like.
Everyone has favorites, this kind of sketch is mine, fairly simple.
Here is what it looks like, and please feel free to join in, the more the better.

Anyway, before I tell you all the important info on my card, you just have to see this. 2 of my kitties just love sitting on my keyboard tray and if I don't move it, the keyboard.  Here is what I saw trying to get my card up this morning.

This is Shadow, she is saying, mommy, let me on your keyboard.  Makes it a tad difficult to do anything when I do, and she will lay there for hours.
On to the details of the card. 
Colors:
Very Vanilla
Tempting Turquiose
Daffodil Delight
Supplies:
Embellished Events (126497) clear (131984) Wood
Brights Collection Designer series Paper pad (117155) Also retiring
Daffodil Delight Seam binding (125583)
Scallop Edge Border punch (119882)
Rhinestones (119246)
I just have to say, I have no idea where this color combo came from, I was wanting to use up some of my retiring product, and these just jumped into my hand.  At first I thought them might be a little bright to use together, but they just scream happy, don't they?

Thanks for stopping by, I hope I've at least given you a little inspiration.

Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge # 158

It's time for another PPA color challenge. Please feel free to play along, it's great fun.
Here are the colors:

And here is what I did:

I love Pool Party, it's one of my favorites, so I went with it for the most part.   I used the Bird Builder punch for the leaves,  Embellished Events for the flower stamp, then I used the Chevron embossing folder.
The ribbon I'm sorry to say is from the SAB, I was hoping it might come over to the new catalog, I really like this little skinny ribbon.  The Bitty butterfly punch is new but available from the Spring Catalog and staying in the new big catalog. I used just a bit of Comfort Cafe Designer series paper for that butterfly.
The Petite Curly Label punch has stuck around in the new catalog from the spring catty too.

Fast and Fabulous 10 minute Christmas card

I know I said on Wed I'd post the FF 10 min cards, but it's Christmas and if you haven't gotten your cards done, it's time. I hope this will help you, these are very quick, easy and look so fabulous. I have done two of the same card, just changing out the colors.
One of the easiest ways to made a big difference in your cards is embossing folders. Takes no time at all to run a piece of CS through the folder and it can look so awesome.

Here I used Rose Red and Very Vanilla.
The folder used is Northern Flurry #120902 pg 189 in the main catty.
Image is from Embellished Events  #126497(clear)  pg 40
I love this stamp set as it gives you 6 different images for so many events, plus the sentiments, in this case the Merry Christmas, is separate from the image stamp so you can mix and match them.

Here I used Midnight Muse, and my Craft White ink. It's a favorite of mine, you can use it to wet emboss, or just stamp on dark CS with it. It will take just a bit longer to dry however. The ribbon here is Very Vanilla Seam Binding. One little tip using the seam binding. The cartridge glue doesn't stick to the ribbon very well, so I usually use the Glue stick.  You can pretty much do any color combo you like with this one.

Bye for now.
