Retro Fresh!!.... hello

Hi! If you're looking for this weeks Sweet Sunday Sketch sample, it's right here! 

Hi there!!! Last Sunday a group of gorgeous gals (and myself) joined forces and hosted a Catalogue Launch EXTRAVAGANZA!!!! Months of planning, chatting, stampin', chatting, chatting, stampin', chatting ;-) went into organising the day, and it was AWESOME!!!

I really do have to constantly remind myself how very fortunate I am to have such amazing, gorgeous and talented ladies in my life, and none of whom I would've met had it not been for the amazing company Stampin' Up!! Seriously!!.. I can't imagine my life without them in it now!!

Soooo... with our NEW Occasions Catalogue and Sale-a-bration brochure in hand, we set about creating gorgeous displays, samples, make and takes and SHOW BAGS!!! It really was an AWESOME day!! One of the little treats in the Show Bags was a little 'Card Candy' bag. There were three different 'Candies', so it was lovely to see everyone open their bags and compare what they had received.

I made some samples using the 'Retro Fresh' Card Candy, so I thought I'd share with you over the next three days the samples I made. We had these up on display so everyone who attended could get some quick, simple ideas of how to use what they had in their bags at home!! FUN!!!

Today's card is....... Hello!

The piece of card candy is the gorgeous "Starburst" of Baked Brown Sugar, which has been embossed with the NEW Arrows Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, a Calypso Coral heart from the Perfect Pennants Stamp set and a Hello banner, also from Perfect Pennants. I added a strip of Retro Fresh DSP (seriously LOVE that DSP!!) and some Gold Bakers Twine. Quick and Simple.

Come back tomorrow and I'll show you another sample, using another fun piece of Retro Fresh Card Candy!.

Thanks for stopping by.

Sweet Sunday Sketch #197

Happy Sunday!! It's time for another Sweet Sunday Sketch, I hope you'll be able to join us!

There are a few birthday's this month for some special people so I decided to use today's sketch for one of those. Here is my card for this weeks sketch:-

And here is the sketch for you to play along with:-

I've used a new colour combo (for me!). Crushed Curry, Smokey Slate, Calypso Coral and Melon Mambo. The sentiment is from one of my favourite sets Really Good Greetings and I've embossed that onto a  Tea Lace Doily using Melon Mambo Embossing Powder. The addition of a sweet little  In Color Boutique Detail Button in Costal Cabana, and some Rhinestones and Voila!! DONE!.
