Friday Mashup #9-Cards for Kids

Happy Friday everyone! Life has been busier than usual, with work and family!  Summer is fast approaching and I have been enjoying the nice weather, although the past two days have been rain-filled, this weekend promises to be sunny and warm!  I will spend the weekend, working on cards...REPORT cards!  LOL!  I have a few to write but I hope to squeeze in some stamping too!

Today is Friday Mashup Day and it is my turn to host!  I chose a fun photo that I found online and loved the primary colours!  Those colours made me think of cards for kids and so my Mashup Idea was born!!! 

This week for the Mashup Challenge, you are welcome to: 

       1. Create a Kid Themed project. 

       2. Create a project using just the Color Combo.

       3. Or "Mash it Up!" and create a Kid project that uses the Color Combo!

I decided to create a Kid Themed project with my new sets called "Summer Splash"! This fun little set has a lot of great images, perfect for cards for kids! I love the sweet little Octopus!

This is a fairly simple card, made with Concord Crush DSP and Cardstock.  I went Monotone with my project this week but this fabulous set is perfect for bright and cheerful colours!!!

Come on by the Mashup this week and join us! 

Thanks for stopping by!

Paper Players Sketch Challenge: "Fish" Big

"Fish" Big is not the sentiment I used on this card but I did use a lot of FISH!  I just adore this cute new set from the SU! Summer Mini!!!  It is called "Summer Splash" and includes a lot of fun images like an Octopus, Surfboards, a Turtle and some other beach themed images! Cute, Cute, Cute!

Nance came up with a great sketch this week for the Paper Players that I absolutely adore!  It could be intrepreted so many ways!   I decided to use Pacific Point and Real Red on my card!  I am happy with these cute little fishes!

I am not going to write too much about this tonight as I have a massive headache!  I have had it all day!  I think an early night to bed is what the doctor ordered.  Before I sign off, what do you think of my new blog look?  I think I need to tweak it a bit more!  I used the new My Digital Studio kit called "Playful Polka Dots" for the header...it was a lot of fun to make but I think I need to make it smaller.  Any thoughts?

I hope you get the chance to join us at the Paper Players this week!  Thanks for stopping by!
