Stampin Up, Pals paper arts challenge #267 Birthday Wishes
There was just so way I could turn these colors into Christmas. LOL. So, I looked around and asked myself. Self, what would YOU like on top of your birthday cake, why yes, more cake. So here it is. My birthday cake on a plate with cupcake on top.
So, here are the colors for the challenge this week:
If you have tried to get into the PPA site and have not been able to, be aware that we had some issues. Due to some really hard working people, we are back up and in a new home.
I do hope I've helped to inspire you, and thanks so much for stopping by.

Merry Little Christmas, Mojo Monday 414
You don't usually see me using this much Designer Series Paper, normally if I use it, it's just a bit here and there. But it just lent itself to this sketch so much. I have had this framelit set setting in front of me on my desk since I got it.
I love how there are 2 sets of each shape, 3 per set, that's a lot of tags and labels. I picked out tags from both size sets to get my look. The middle one is gold foil, it just does not show well in a photo, but it shines so pretty.
Here is the sketch, it's a simple one, come try it. Doing challenges can really sharpen your skills.

Stampin Up and a brand new challenge
One if the PAL's, that's my Stampin Up group, became involved in a brand new challenge site. He asked the rest of us if we would like to post this week. This is my card. It was a color challenge,
I'm not sure if it will always be or if they will do some other types but it should be fun to see.
The DSP (Designer Series Paper) here, is my very favorite in this years catalog. It's called Timless Elegance and has stunning designs. This piece just fit perfect into my idea for this card.
The piece I've chosen I love because of it's small pattern, I've colored in the flowers in the So Saffron from the challenge colors which are: Go HERE to see the challenge site, there are SU demo's from around the world posting there.
I hope I have inspired you a bit with my card, thanks so much for stopping by.

Stampin Up, Just playing with Christmas cards
Since I am also a demo, I need to start even earlier. We started on our cards in class last month. Out of 3 cards, we just did one Christmas, this month, I am thinking maybe two.
I've had this set for quite a while new, but there was so many other challenges and a new annual catalog and Convention that I'm just now playing with it. There is nothing I love more then die cut pieces with all kinds of detail like this one!
And the vellum Designer series paper underneath is to die for! So much prettier in person, it shines like crazy.
TIP: When attaching vellum try to find spots that will be covered like with ribbon or a candy dot, and use Glue dots. In this case besides behind the ribbon, I put them under the wider strips of red.
Here is a close up of the glimmer paper:
This set is gorgeous and comes in a bundle with the framelits, you will use it year after year. I know I'm not going to be letting go of mine.
I hope I inspired you, and thank you for stopping by.

Stampin Up, Pals Paper Arts 266
I'm pretty excited today! It's my first post as a PPA team member. We have pretty talented teams so, I sure hope I can do well.
This week is a color challenge, a beautiful blend of fall colors, here they are:
To get this look on the leaf, I stamped then cut the same leaf out of paper using the die, laid it over top and sponged more color on. Very simple way to get something a bit different.
TIP: Be sure to get the new Fine Tip Glue Pen for use on all those tiny elements as well as thinlits like the words.
I hope you enjoy, thanks for stopping by.

Stampin Up, Freshly Made Sketches challenge 202, A Merry little Wish
Yes, another Christmas card. Once the Holiday catalog comes out it's hard not to. And it is now live! Go buy all those goodies. Honestly, It's the best Holiday catalog I've ever seen.
This however is a set that was in last years Holiday catalog, it carried over into our annual catalog this year. We again have a Holiday section. It's small, but there are good things in there.
I wanted to try a different tree. I'm always using either the real looking tree or the pretty scrolly tree, this one is interesting.
The embossing folder is new however. Boughs and berries. It makes a really nice framework for most anything. I've got another idea I'll be doing. Stay tuned.
