Colorific Challenge from Totally Stampalicious!

Hello everyone! This week's challenge with Totally Stampalicious is a color combination: ORANGE, PINK and YELLOW...I decided to use Peach Parfait, Blushing Bride and So Saffron and inked up the new Fairy Stella.....the sentiments with this set are absolutely freakin' hilarious!!! I highly recommend it if you have some "witty" friends! :)

I was blog surfing one night looking for some challenges, and I found this wonderful sketch from Taylor's Expressions...

Hop on over to the Totally Stampalicious Blog HERE and check out the rest of the super talented Design Teams creations for your inspiration! I can't wait to see what wonderful creations come out of this color combo! Happy crafting!!

Well, I am off to get some sleep - I will see you in the morning for another challenge from both PPC and SPCC! Cheers!

SPCC #45 and Taylor's Cupcake Challenge

Good evening crafting PEEPS! It's been a verrrrry long day it seems but I just *had* to squeeze a card out before I went to bed...helps unwind the day and relieve your mind of some or all stresses I find.

After much deliberation as a family, we decided that we are going to increase our family size by one more, and get a dog. He will be an outside dog for the kids to play with and hang out with....his name is Cocoa (not sure how the kids are going to spell it) and he is a Malamute (sp?) Husky crossed with a black lab. I will post pic's once we get him here and all settled in. We have some work to do in the back yard with the fence and get the gates hung back up so he can't escape and the kids are in the process of building him a mansion of a dog house along with Nana and Papa's help. They are very excited!

Anyhewwwwww .... enough rambling hey?! On with the crafty stuff :o) I decided to give Samantha's color combo a try from Scrapmaster's Paradise and I combined it with Taylor's Cupcake Challenge over at Taylored Expressions. I need to admit whole-heartedly that these colors were WICKEDLY DIFFICULT for me...I love Kraft and Durango, but that green was so hard to incorporate in there. I think I did "ok" with it and it turned out alright in the end. Thanks, Samantha, for such a challenge - these are good to make us step out of our comfort zones and attempt some new stuff!


.....here is my card using both challenges:

Stamps: Vintage Labels; Paper: Kraft, Green Galore, Dusty Durango, Dusty Durango DSP; Ink: Dusty Durango, Basic Black; Accessories: scallop square and circle punch, square punch, large circle punch, dimensionals, ribbon.

Thanks for stopping in tonight...I'll hopefully be back tomorrow evening for another installment! Have a super night!!

Genuine Boy Card

The kids just finished their lunch break and I took the chance to get another card put on my blog while they were eating! I slowly worked on this card while they were doing school work and needed my help...I would cut a few pieces, color a bit, then go help one of them...come back and keep going hee hee...one way to get the cards done right?!?

This time I ventured over to Taylored Expressions to see what goodies were waiting there for me and lo and behold there was a cool sketch there. I saw "boy" when I saw the sketch and I remembered that over at ColorQ, Arielle had some "boy colors" happenin' :o) Yay!! My only hard part, was finding some boy stamps that SU! has...I don't know about all you out there, but I really struggle in that department when it comes to SU...in my opinion, they don't offer a lot of stamps for the male gender. Thank goodness I keep some oldies kickin around for times like these!!!


When I saw the colors from Arielle, I instantly thought of these papers I have had forevah and decided to get them out and use some of it up. It's from My Mind's Eye. I don't have a lot of Tempting Turquoise DP that is boyish, so this was what I had to work with!! Close enough in my books....:)

Stamps: Bronc Buster; Paper: Soft Suede, Night of Navy, Tangerine Tango, Whisper White, My Mind's Eye DP; Ink: Versafine Black; Accessories: clear EP, markers, pewter brads, pewter pearls, dimensionals, paper piercer.

I also got some chocolate chip cookies made before lunch, so now I'm off to start the banana bread! I'm trying to get my snacks and breads caught up for the weekend so I can CRAFT the weekend away!!! :) TTYL....
