Triangled Thanks

Happy Fabulous Friday!

As promised, here I am again on Friday...Check here every Tuesday and Friday for a new post. Occasionally I will throw in an extra post, but for sure, I'm here every Tuesday and Friday. 

Triangles and geometric shapes are all the rage in paper crafting, DIY and decorating. I just had to jump on this fun bandwagon. The sketch design is all mine & I’m unabashedly proud of it as I usually do sketch challenges or fall back to the same few sketch designs. I hope you like it too!

Supplies: All SU

Paper: Misty Moonlight, Seaside Spray, Whisper White, In-Color DSP

Stamps: Peaceful Moments

Ink: Misty Moonlight

Accessories: Stitched So Sweetly Dies, Seaside Spray metalic ribbon, Rhinestone Jewels

Heather Butterflies

This card was made for Splitcoaststamper's Virtual Stamp night, the "I" challenge, to make a Thank You card ala Elvis "Thank You, Thank You Very Much". I also used Julee Tillman's July Sketch 519.

The DSP I used was free from the Sale-a-bration SU! Catalog...gorgeous paper with colors on one side & black and white on the other which makes a perfect pairing. I'm so glad I have a few packs of this paper! I love letting the DSP do the work for the card... makes a pretty card even when you only add a sentiment. I hope you have a great week!

Stamps: Butterfly Gala

Paper: Black, White, Highland Heather, Purple Posy, DSP- Botantical Butterfly

Holiday Thank You

Happy Monday Friends! I made this card for the Victorine Originals Challenge~ make a "thanks" card. While I realize most people are making Thanksgiving cards, I seem to be totally into Christmas already this year. Go figure!

Isn't this the cutest little reindeer? I colored him with copics but his scarf is colored with SU markers because I wanted a more exact match with the cardstock colors.

Have a great day!

A Note of Thanks

I have been having a lot of fun in the studio this weekend. I had Friday off from work for the New Year's holiday & with the Christmas shopping and activities behind us, I had lots of time to play. Here's my take on this week's Sketch and Color Challenges over on Splitcoaststampers. The colors were Old Olive, Night of Navy, Daffodil Delight and your choice of neutral. I softened the Daffodil delight flower by sponging on white craft ink & I colored the silver brad with a blue copic marker.
Thanks for looking & I'll be back later with more challenge cards. Hugs & Happy New Year, friends!

Thanks & Free Font Fridays

This is my take on the Sketch Challenge (SC285) on Splitcoaststampers. I like this one~ very versatile. So I will be duplicating this one at least a few times. I used the newer Basic Grey papers called "Green at Heart"; some of the DPs in the pad match well with SU! Rich Razzleberry and Melon Mambo which is what I used here.

The "Thank You" sentiment was computer generated using Creating Keepsakes font called Woodbine Swatches. I signed up as a member for the CK Club when I was at the CK convention in St. Louis back in April. One of the perks is access to over 100 free fonts. But you don't have to be a member to get free CK fonts. Each Friday, "Free Font Friday", a new font is available for downloading for that week & then replaced with another font the following Friday. I am really happy I joined this club not only for the free fonts but for the scrapbooking forum and postings and especially free access to digital magazine issues of Creating Keepsakes and Simple Scrapbooks. Since I struggle with scrapbooking this is really great for me.

Happy Friday!

Masculine Blue Thanks

The Featured Stamper today is Michelle (aka Elliotstamps). She has a wonderful gallery. I chose to case this card. I really like this design and I just realized when I went to link Michelle's card that it is one of the Fall to Layout challenges. {This is a no-no for the FS challenge}. Ooops!

My daughter asked me for a thank you card for a friend's parents who have taken her out to dinner with her friend when they visited their daughter at college. I received specific instructions not to make it too 'girly' becasue she wanted her friend's Dad to like it too. So I used some of my favorite designer paper from SU! called Prestwick. It has long since retired, but it is my 'go-to' paper for guy cards. I used a more contempory 'thanks' sentiment in hope my DD would like it.

Have a great evening!
