TIC TAC TOE CHALLENGE - TTTC163 THANK YOU....

Hello stampin' friends!

I'm hosting this weeks Tic Tac Toe Challenge - TTTC163 and hope you will come out and play along?!?

  

Here is the #TTTC163 board for you to choose from....

For my card I chose the bottom left diagonal row - THANK YOU, RIBBON AND VASE.

I pulled out an older Stampin' Up Set called Vivid Vase. The sentiment is from the PTI - Keep It Simple: Gift Thanks Mini Set. The DP is also from PTI and the Ribbon is from SU.

Now it's your turn....please make sure to link it over at the Tic Tac Toe Challenge Blog - TTTC163....can't wait to see your ideas! Wishing you a fabulous day! ~SL~

CQC160 Miss You...

Happy Tuesday!

It's time for a brand new Color Q......

I was inspired by the tree image in the inspiration photo and decided to dig out an old Stampin' Up Set....called Branch Out. I randomly inked the leaves in the required colors and voila the card came together in no time.

Please stop by the Color Q Blog to see all of the teams creations and this weeks entries! I'm also submitting this card to the Less is More Challenge #90 which is an Autumn theme...make sure to check it out!

C4C119 I'm seeing BLUE!!!

Happy weekend everyone!

Hope you’ll have a nice relaxing one planned. We’ll be busy with Sarah’s first pageant this year. It’s a Pink Ribbon Pageant in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness. A cause that is dear to my heart. I’ll post some photos this week so you can see her new dress and I can update you on how well she has done!!!

Anyway, I had a chance to stamp for this week’s Crazy 4 Challenges -C4C119 theme. Joanne has challenged us to create a card/project with *MONOCHROMATIC IN BLUES*.

Here is my take on it…….

I decided to dig out one of my retired Stampin’ Up Hostess Set called Because I Care. I inked it in Memento Black and colored it with these Copic Markers ~ BV000, B0000, B00, B93, B97, YG11 and G21. The image was placed onto a Circled Spellbinder Die and a Doily. The DP in the background is from the Pacific Point DP Collection and I decided to add some scoring on top and added the new PTI Filigree Border on the bottom. The Enchanted Evening Ribbon is also from PTI and I topped it off with a matching Button as well as some White Scrapper’s Floss. At last I added the Silver Pearls...voila!

Please make sure to check out the rest of the *Crazies* for their  ideas ~ Frances, Barbara, Cindy,

Dawn, Jessie, Joanne, Joycelyn, Lynda, Maria, Silke K. and Vicki.

Have a fabulous week and I'll see you again on Tuesday!!!

                                                                   Hugs, ~Silke~

Aloha stampin' friends!!!

I'm off today....wahooo!!! I'm enjoying my day with my middle daughter Rebecca!!! We are on a field trip to Tybee Island..my favorite beach!!! Hope the weather plays along...there is rain in the forecast so please keep your fingers crossed that we'll stay dry :) !!!

I also have some fun news to share....the sweet ladies from the Pals Paper Arts Blog invited me to play along in their Color Combo ~ PPA67 today!!! Thank you ladies for having me!!!

Aren't these some fun gorgeous colors to play with??? I actually had two ideas......

My main image on this card is from the SU Set ~ Just Believe. I used my required SU Markers to color the image. The DP in the BG is from the SU Walk in the Park Collection. For my embellishments I chose a Large Silver Eyelet, the matching SU Poppy Parade Ribbon and some Silver Pearls.

The sweet pillow box was created with the SU Pillow Box Die. Again, I used the SU Walk in the Park Design Paper and finished it off with the Poppy Parade Ribbon and Pearls.

*******************************************************************************

My second idea was created with another fun SU Set that I have not used in ages....it's the awesome Baroque Motif Set!!!

I was a bit lazy cutting out the matching flowers to this Set so I opted to use the SU Three Flower Punch instead. I used my Stylus to *rough* them up a bit and I l.o.v.e how these sweet flowers turned out with my favorite Silver Pearls inside!!! I added a punched Scallop Trim Border on top of my card plus some DP from the Walk in the Park Collection on the bottom. I finished the card off with the awesome Poppy Parade Ribbon and the sweet sentiment....voila!!!

Thank you so much for stopping by today!!! I hope you like my ideas and have a chance to play along with us!?! Please make sure to stop by the Pals Paper Art Blog for all the details on how to play along and of course all the fabulous samples the PPA Team has designed!!!

Have a wonderful day!!! Hugs ~S~
