SFF061215--Cherry on Top meets Tin of Cards Stamps

Hello:

It's Friday again and time for another Sketch Frenzy Friday.  Today, our sketch was created by Jennifer Kay:

Here's what I created:

I am sure you know by now that we have a new catalog and lots of new goodies to play with.  Today, I used the very sweet Cherry on Top Designer Series Paper Stack, Cucumber Crush card stock, Watercolor Wonder card stock, and Whisper White card stock.  The sentiment is from the Tin of Cards stamp set, which goes along with the Tin of Cards card Kit.  I couldn't resist using some of the cute 2015-2017 In Color Blossom Accents, and the luscious Cucumber Crush Dotted Lace Ribbon.  I was a little hesitant about using 3 Blossom Accents AND ribbon, but after I got the card together, I really liked it!  What do you think?  Too much?

Enjoy!

SFF052915--Goodbye My Digital Studio

Hello:

Well, it's May 29 and MDS is going away on May 31....sigh.  So I thought I would do one last blog post with MDS.  I will continue to use it for personal stuff and sketches for Sketch Frenzy Friday, but I won't be posting any more MDS creations.

Our sketch this week was created by Terri Tank:

And here is my MDS card following the sketch:

So enjoy this last look at MDS, and then go to the SFF Blog and check out what the other designers have done.  And PLEASE join us.  We love to see your creations!

SFF052215 - One of My Favorite Colors

Hello, Hello, Hello!!
I have been MIA for a while due to other obligations, but I am BACK!  And we have a great sketch for you, created by Diana Eichfeld:

I love this sketch!  Diana did a great job designing this.  Here is my interpretation of her wonderful sketch:

The flower is from Crazy About You and is stamped in Blackberry Bliss and punched out with the coordinating Flower Medallion Punch.  I love, love, love this color and will miss it so much when it goes away next June.  My color choices were inspired by the brand new (available on June 2) Bohemian Designer Series Paper.  The colors are very rich and intense and include Blackberry Bliss, Rich Razzleerry, Bermuda Bay, Delightful Dijon (a new In Color also debuting on June 2), Island Indigo, and Very Vanilla.  I chose to use both sides of one of the sheets.  One side has the chevron stripes, and the other side is the Island Indigo with little dots of the lighter colors.  I also used a the Pretty Petals TIEF, which, sadly, is going away on June 2.  I bought it and think I used it only twice, sigh... The sentiment is also from Crazy About You, and is stamped in Blackberry Bliss and Island Indigo.  All of this was mounted on a base of Blackberry Bliss, which you can hardly see in this picture, since I put the card up against a dark background.  As I am looking at the picture, I am thinking I should have added a pearl to the flower center,  Maybe I'll do that before I send it off.

Now that I have finished rambling, click on over the the Sketch Frenzy Friday blog and check out what the other designers have done with the sketch.
Thanks for stopping by today!

Enjoy!

Hello Stamping Friends:

Another Friday, another Sketch Frenzy Friday.  How has your week been?  Mine has been busy.  I am singing in a concert today and tomorrow that is being done by my church choir combined with another church choir.  We are performing Requiem in D Minor by Gabriel Faure and a selection of favorite church anthems.  Needless to say, we have been rehearsing long and hard!  I am so glad our sketch this week was simpler than last week's!!  And here is the sketch Patrice Herrera provided for us:

Here is my card:

Although I like the card overall, I am not sure about the Bermuda Bay sequins in the middle.  I thought I would try to tie a bow, but that may have been a big mistake!  Anyway, here's what I used:

• Whisper White card stock
• Calypso Coral card stock
• Birthday Bash Designer Series Paper
• Lovely Lace TIEF
• Bermuda Bay sequins

I did not stamp a sentiment because I haven't decided which one to use!

Our blog, Sketch Frenzy Friday, has more samples from our designers, so go check it out!

Enjoy!!

Sketch Frenzy Friday--MDS Painted Petals

Hello Everyone!

It's time again for Sketch Frenzy Friday!  I chose to go with MDS this week simply because MDS is going away on May 31, 2015.  I am a little bit sad because I like using MDS, but as we all know, all good things must come to an end, and this is one of them.  I am sure there will be new and exciting things coming from Stampin' Up!. so don't worry!  We'll still have plenty of things to play with.

Here is our sketch from Jennifer Kay:

And, here is my MDS creation:

Such a pretty sketch, and I love how it came to life with MDS.
