Fab Friday 19

It's Friday and time for a new Fab Friday challenge. Yay! We have a fun sketch at Fab Friday this time. Check it out!

And here is my take on it...

Stampin' Up Supplies Used:
Stamps: Embellished Events, Friendly Phrases
Paper: Summer Startfruit, Midnight Muse, Raspberry Ripple, Whisper White, 2012-2013 In Color DSP stack
Ink: Summer Startfruit, Midnight Muse, Raspberry Ripple, Gumball Green
Accessories: Big Shot, 3" Circle die, Square punch (to make the banner), pearls

This is a pretty simple card, but I am happy with the way it turned out. My lack of stamping lately has really made it a struggle to just sit down and make something I like, so this is actually the second card I made for this challenge. The first one will never get posted because it was just that bad. We all have reject cards once in a while. It's just part of the process, I guess.

I am going to make it a priority to do more stamping and blogging now that school is almost out. Maybe the kids need to have "craft time", "quiet time", or "outside time" in order for Mommy to get a little time to stamp, but I will do whatever it takes. If Mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy, right? Does anyone else find that stamping time always gets pushed to the back burner when life gets busy? I wish it wasn't that way, or that there were more hours in a day, or that there were two of me. Ha! Maybe someday... ;-)

Anyway, have a fantastic weekend and please come and play along with us at Fab Friday!

Hello, Babies!

Today, I have my final card from my class to share. This is another design that I made in two versions, one for a baby girl and one for a baby boy. I used the adorable and very versatile new set called Embellished Events for this cute ducky image. I also used bright colors and I love they way they turned out. This was a great class card because they were very quick to stamp and assemble.

Stampin' Up Supplies Used:
Stamps: Embellished Events, Sweet Essentials
Paper: Lucky Limeade, Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo, Tempting Turquoise, Brights DSP stack
Ink: Lucky Limeade marker, Daffodil Delight marker, Pumpkin Pie marker, Tempting Turquoise pad, Melon Mambo pad
Accessories: Big Shot, Argyle EF, Perfect Polka Dots EF, Daffodil Delight seam binding, dimensionals, glue dots
Techniques: marker to stamp, dry embossing

I hope you liked all the cards I made for my class. I hope to have some new cards to share this week. Maybe I can catch a few minutes to stamp sometime this weekend as it looks like we are housebound due to the extreme heat and humidity. It is supposed to be 100+ today! Yikes! Stay cool and enjoy the rest of your weekend!
