Bloggers Challenge – Happy Moments

Today is Friday and time for Bloggers' Challenge!  This week's challenge was to use the color Green and a neutral!  Wow!  I had a tough time finding a stamp that I could just color in greens.  Now…I'm sure all the fabulous ladies will find lots of ways to use the color green!

My card started with a base of Garden Green cardstock.  I layered on the green print from Kaleidoscope (I know…I'm hooked on this paper!)  I did the scallop rectangle with both the Scallop Corner Trim Punch and Scallop Border Trim Punch from Confetti White cardstock.  Then I layered Garden Green and Certainly Celery in the center.  I stamped the gifts from Stampin' Up!'s free Sale-A-Bration set, Happy Moments, in Basic Black on Confetti White and watercolored it with my Stampin' Write Markers and AquaPainter.  Finally, I added the White Satin Ribbon in the background and added a pretty Satin White bow on the front!

Hope you have a great weekend!  While you are reading this, I'm at a long weekend stamping retreat!  I'm SURE I'm having fun!

Vintage Vogue

Well, did you enjoy the Blog Tour?  Aren't those some TALENTED ladies?  I'm so blessed to be part of the Control Freak Swappers, I get such great swaps each time.  They are big…usuallly 30 or more, but well worth the extra effort!

I thought I'd bring out Vintage Vogue again dressed in some SPRING colors!  I'm really wishing it here, aren't I?  We are supposed to get MORE snow again tomorrow…luckily just an inch or so.

This actually is the same layout that the Bloggers Challenge used last Friday, I just switched a couple things around.  I started with a base of Old Olive cardstock.  Then layered on the Sweet Pea Designer Paper.  I used the Scallop Border Trim Punch on some So Saffron, then wrapped my White Satin Ribbon around the center and added some "bows" and the Pretty in Pink Epoxy Brads on them!  I like how that really dressed up the bows!

I stamped the F from Stampin' Up's Vintage Vogue in Old Olive on Whisper White and punched with the 1 3/4 circle punch, highlighted the Friends in So Saffron Stampin' Write Marker.  I stamped the small flower three times with So Saffron on Whisper White and cut them out, along with some Old Olive leaves.  Finally, I used the Eggcellent Egg Kit rhinestones and made a circle of them in each center of the flowers!  VERY sparkly in real life!

Hope you have a great day.  I'm hoping to get a lot of stamping done for the next couple weeks!  The ideas are there (luckily), just need to get them down on paper!

It's not too late to get my Satin Ribbon Shares.  I INCLUDE the Whisper White in my shares, so you get 10 different colors!  Click HERE for more information!
