This and That Notebook

I made this for Dawn McVey's color challenge then never photographed and entered it. That seems to be a recurring theme in my life lately... do something, never quite finish, never quite get it there on time. It means I have too much on my plate or I need to make better use of my time. I think its probably a little of both. I have been putting in some long hours at work and then I have all my home responsibilities too. I also have an unhealthy addiction to facebook, LOL! Anyhow on to the notebook. I used leaf green cardstock from PTI. I stamped it in dark chocolate using the grid stamp from Off Beat Backgrounds from Waltzingmouse stamps. Next I stamped a cream panel with roses from PTI's flower garden. I stamped twice, once to get the dark image, then again for the softer image. If you enlarge the image you can see the softer image better. Because I didnt read the color challenge (I just looked at the pic) I thought the pink was suppose to be hibiscus, which is what I used (it was suppose to be raspberry fizz). I mounted the cream panel onto a thin dark chocolate layer. I put some hibiscus twill onto the green portion then mounted on my panel. I covered the roses in crystal stickles. I added a punched kraft border to one side. I punched out a scalloped cream circle and a plain dark chocolate circle and paired them. The cream circle is stamped in leaf green with a stamp from Take Note. The hibiscus border is also from Take Note. The last thing was the addition of hibiscus buttons tied with cream twine. Thanks for stopping by! Have an awesome Friday!

Raspberry Suite Color Challenge

Dawn has issued another color challenge over at her blog. The colors are summer sunrise, dark chocolate, vintage cream, and kraft. I decided to make a baby card. Very non traditionally colored, but I like the way it turned out.

Raspberry Suite Color Challenge #14

Dawn McVey has issued another color challenge over at her blog. I love the colors from this week's challenge, so pretty!
Here is my card, I used a couple of different sets.  Everything you see here is from PTI.  The cardstock is scarlet jewel, raspberry fizz, plum pudding, and vintage cream.  I stamped the fizz pieces with the leaves from Beyond Basics Borders in Scarlet Jewel.  I stamped the cream with the same leaves in Plum Pudding.  The little branch is in Scarlet Jewel on Cream.  The birds are stamped in fizz and plum on their respective cardstocks.  I cut them out and popped them up with pop dots.   The ribbon is Plum Pudding satin.  Sentiment is from Beyond Basics Borders.

Dawn's Color Challenge

Well I guess I had one more card in me before vacation!  I could not resist Dawn's color challenge this morning!  The colors she chose were: spring moss, white, pure poppy, and berry sorbet.   My card is made with all PTI product with the exception of the ricrack which is from MM.  The shapes and letters were cut on my cricut (never use that poor thing, it was so dusty) from the All Mixed Up cartridge.  Stamp set is Polka Dot basics. Did you know you could mix those dots together like that?   Me either, until today!  Love it!  I will see you all in a week, thanks for stopping by!

It's time once again for Dawn McVey's color challenge.  She picked some awesome colors this time around.  I just love berry sorbet and aqua mist.  I decided it would be a great time to break out and oldie but goodie- PTI's It's a Celebration.  Love that set!  I had lots of fun putting this card together.

Can you see the little score lines on my card?  I made a little grid with my score pal.  It looks so cool IRL.  I took several pics, but sadly I am not a photographer!  Thanks for stopping by!

Raspberry Suite Color Challenge

Well heck, I missed the deadline!  *Edit*  Thanks to Bethie I realized I hadn't missed the deadline!  Yay!  I already had the project done and photographed though, so I thought I would share it with you anyways.  I love the colors Dawn picked out.  It was easy for me to use these.  I made a card and another little teabox, from the same sketch I posted yesterday.
The colors are smokey shadow, raspberry fizz, hibiscus, and white.  I used polka dot basics and fresh snow ink for the background.  I used Tea for two and the cup and bag from everyday classics.  Love how they turned out!  The ribbon is raspberry fizz and the buttons are from the hibiscus collection.

*** Did you moms have a nice mother's day?  Mine was the best!  Guess what the hubs got me??  An iphone!!  I am in heaven.  I am an internet junkie and this is just another great tool to feed my addiction, LOL!  My kids gave me some awesome homemade gifts... they both stamped me pictures, so cute!   Happy Monday!

Raspberry Suite Color Challenge #3

Today we have another color challenge from the lovely and talented Dawn McVey. Love her color pics, so fun!  My card uses stamps from Hero Arts.  Its one of their new spring sets.  All my paper is from Papertrey ink.  Colors used are:  Kraft, Vintage Vanilla, Pure Poppy, Berry Sorbet, Sweet Blush Polka Dots.  The flowers are from American Crafts, I have had them forever.  The buttons are also from Papertrey Ink, the vintage vanilla collection.  I used inks in pure poppy and berry sorbet.  I also used copic markers to color.  I tried to make my bird look fuzzy by blending with my colorless blender.  I cant decide if I like mr fuzzy bird or if I should have left him alone.  The whole card is rubbed with vintage vanilla ink.  Have an awesome Sunday!

Dawn's Color Challenge

Dawn McVey has issued another Raspberry Suite Color Challenge.  This week's colors are from Pottery barn teen (man I wish I had the bucks for Pottery barn.).  A very nice color palette.   The majority of my supplies are from PTI, except for the teal.  The teal is bazzill.  I am not sure which color.

I stamped the design in Dark Chocolate using PTI's original guidelines.   I colored with my copic markers.  I added the white with my gel pen.  The sentiment is also in Dark Chocolate.  Its from PTI's wishing you set.  The button is from Making Memories (I think!).  Hope you have a great Sunday.  Thanks for stopping by.
