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 PALs Paper Arts sketch challenge

This card will be going out to a very special lady, she's having some health issues and I just want her to know she has me in her corner. It always picks you up when you get a hand made card, it lets you know that the person who made it went out of their way and really cares.  One of the reasons I love what I do, and I'm able to help other people make great cards too.

Every so often I just have to make a card using this years incolors. In my opinion they are the best incolor set to come out ever.  Not only is each color gorgeous, but they flawlessly combine no matter which ones you use together.   If you are color challenged, it's the perfect set for you and you can get all of them, all 5 ink pads plus paper for the price of the 5 pads.  The paper ends up free.

I used Baked Brown Sugar for my base card, then the Strawberry Slush DSP from the Incolor paper stack.    Layered on the Baked Brown Sugar using Core'd ations, running over it with a piece of sand paper first.
I used the Labels collect framelits to put my sentiment on and frame it, using the Perfect Pennants stamp set from the Occasions mini catalog.  The butterfly is from the Best of Butterflies stamp set. It is one of a monthly set that came out during the 25th anniversary year for SU in 2013 and will be available until next month.
 Thanks for stopping by, hope I was able to give you a bit of inspiration.

Pals Paper Arts 189 Good Thoughts

Good morning! Beautiful day here in Northern AZ.  This mornings card was made using the sketch at PPA.

It is open to everyone, so feel free to give it a try, you'll find it HERE

My card today started with Whisper White cardstock then a piece of the Fresh Prints paper stack layered over Coastal Cabana.  If you like paper that is sized for cards and not so much scrapbooking this is the stack for you. They are 4 1/2" x 6 1/2", very usable, and double sided, love, love, love the colors on this piece.
A piece of Crumb Cake goes across with 3/8" Ruffled Stretch trim ribbon attached to the bottom. The sentiment and heart stamped on are from Perfect Pennants stamp set, a new set in the Occasions catalog. I used one of the Labels collection framelits to die cut the sentiment out and used the heart punch from the main catalog to punch a second heart. I also did a bit of inking around the die cut to make it stand out over the white.



Thanks for stopping by today, I hope I've given you a bit of inspiration.
