SFF022715--Digital Spring

Hi Stampers:

It is STILL cold and snowy in this neck of the woods, and everyone is longing for spring!  I have a little spring preview to show you today that is created with the My Digital Studio Butterfly Basics Stamp Brush Set.  When I am short of time, or just plain busy, I love to create with MDS!  But first,here is our sketch this week, which I created:

And here is my MDS Digital Creation:

All of the stamps are from the Butterfly Basics My Digital Studio Stamp Brush Set.  The colors I used are Very Vanilla--background paper; Crushed Curry--honeycomb stamp(I changed the opacity to 50%); 2 of the leaf branches in Baked Brown Sugar (opacity 60% and 40%);  the butterfly and the sentiment in Rose Red.  The three flags are digital burlap ribbon.
Now, check out what the other designers have done at the Sketch Frenzy Friday blog.

SFF082914 For All Things

Hi Stampers:

Once again it's time for our Sketch Frenzy Friday challenge.  I am the designer this week:

Lots of room to add all kinds of elements to your creation.  Here's the way I went:

I used the awesome stamp set For All Things which is now available for everyone to order from the Holiday Catalog.  My colors are:  Cajun Craze, Blackberry Bliss, Crushed Curry and Whisper White.  Accessories:  Autumn Wooden Elements, Color Me Autumn Washi Tape, Linen Thread, Circles Framelits, Perfect Polka Dot TIEF. 

The first picture I took of my card was this:

I thought it needed something else, so I added the wooden element and the linen thread.

SFF082214--For All things and a New Punch

Hi Stampers!

Happy Friday to all of you!  Autumn is coming quickly, although you would never know it by the weather here this week--it has been hot, hot, HOT!  To celebrate the coming of Fall, I used a new stamp set that will be in the Holiday Catalog, and there are only 6 days until you can order it!  The stamp set is called For All Things.  But first, take at look at our great sketch by Stacey Tomkowiak:

Here is my take on the sketch:

Colors are Crushed Curry, Whisper White, Cajun Craze, Blackberry Bliss.  I used the sentiment from the For All Things stamp set, the note tag stamp from the Cheerful Tags stamp set, the Note Tag punch, Deco Labels Framelits, Perfect Polka Dots TIEF, larger butterfly from Kinda Ecelctic stamp set, Pearls, Crushed Curry 3/4" Chevron ribbon, Color Me Autumn DSP .

Sketch Frenzy Friday!

Hi Stampers!

Well after almost of week of not being able to update my blog, I am now back in business! Of course I missed last Friday's Sketch Frenzy Friday, and I apologize that I left you all in the lurch! Well--not so this week! Here's the sketch created by Pam Browne:

And here's my card:

I used My Digital Studio to create this little beauty. My colors are Peach Parfait (card base), Daffodil Delight (2010 New Color Patterns), Early Espresso (stamp image and greeting), Crushed Curry (ribbon embellishment--only available now in MDS). The stamp images are from the Razzle Dazzle set. You can join us. Go to our BLOG to link your creation.

Sketch Frenzy Friday #4

Hi Stampers!

It's that time again! Sketch Frenzy Friday returns for week 4. I have been having a ball trying out different ways to show off these sketches. The first time I participated-week 2--I did traditional stamping. For week 3, I used a Simply Scrappin' kit. THIS week I decided to use My Digital Studio to create my sample. How did I do? You be the judge!!

Here's the sketch (template)

And here's my interpretation:

The colors I used are Always Artichoke, Certainly Celery, Very Vanilla, Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry, and Melon Mambo. The stamp image and the sentiment are from the Upsy Daisy stamp set in MDS, and I moved the opacity to a lower setting to mute the colors a little bit. I used the square punch image for the background of the three flower images, and also for the curly label punch image. The Certainly Celery rectangle is the square punch image resized and filled with color. I think MDS is a GREAT way to create a project of any kind!

Sketch Frenzy Friday!!!!!

I hope you're enjoying our Sketch Frenzy Fridays! I am certainly having fun with my creations! However, life does interfere at times! I have had a really, REALLY, busy week, so I sort of cheated with my card. Well, not really cheated--everything is current Stampin' Up! items, I just didn't do ANY STAMPING! That's right--NO stamping! I used a Simply Scrappin' kit called Happy B-day. The colors are Brocade Blue, Crushed Curry, and Ruby Red. Did you know these kits come with 6 sheets of self-adhesive die cuts? I used several from two different sheets to embellish my card. Here is the template:

And here is my card:

Enjoy! And why not join us! Post a comment with a link to your creation and I will post YOUR creation on my blog!
