Curtain Call Color Challenge: Act{51}

When I saw this color combination over at the Curtain Call Color Challenge

this week, I just knew I wanted to play along.  Nothing like waiting until

the last minute....the challenge is due here soon!

I don't have these SU colors so I substituted PTI colors for this one.  They came out

pretty close I think! 

I had fun with a new embossing folder I found called Oriental Weave.

It makes such a nice deep embossing. 

I also did some sponging while my Nestie circle was in place......haven't done that

before but will certainly try it again!  What a nice effect!

I also used the 2S4Y sketch by Kazan again.....it's just so versatile!

I'm serious.....Love this sketch!

Have a wonderful weekend!

2S4Y #62 and C4C58

Hello!  Hope everyone's weekend is going great.  We are having beautiful weather here in Kansas

and I'm having a great time at Stamping Away!  There are many things that

I have borrowed from Laurie and Jen that I will be buying!

These girls are enablers!!  LOL

So that being said......One of the sets that I knew I wanted to borrow from Laurie

 this weekend was Bake Me A Cake by Lawn Fawn.  Oh my....this will be mine soon.

I based my card using this set on the sketch from 2S4Y for this week.

This set was soo fun to paper piece.  I stamped the cake layers and then overstamped

the layers with BB: Tin Types.  Can you imagine all the possibilites??  eek!

I love how it looks dimensional too.

I'm sending this card on over to the Crazy 4 Challenges blog challenge to make a birthday

card or project at the suggestion of Silke!

Enjoy the rest of the weekend.....Fall is in the air!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

2s4y challenge

I finally get to play along with the 2 Sketches 4 You challenge this week!  If you haven't checked

them out before, you must!  Every week they host new sketches and they are always so fun!

This week's sketch is by Laura.  Why don't you check it out?

I used Laura's sketch but flipped it on it's side.  I also incorporated another challenge here as well.

This is for the Papertrey Paper Dolls challenge #20 hosted by Laurie.  Her

challenge was to make a project/card with a School Time theme. 

I decided to make a Thank You "teacher" card. 

I finally got to use my Impression Plate:  Book Print.  I thought it would be perfect for this card!

Oh yeah, I got to use some of that yummy baker's twine again too!  Gosh, I LOVE this stuff!

Laurie's Papertrey Paper Dolls challenge is still open......so go ahead and play!

We would LOVE to see what you make!

2s4y sketch

So it's time for another 2s4y sketch!!  I got some new goodies in the mail today and

just had to try them out with this sketch!

It was the first time ordering from MFT stamps!  I soo think I will be ordering again! 

Here is the sketch this week!

Here is my version using a couple of new dies and stamps.  I also broke out my Library Ledger paper for this one too!  I think this paper collection goes really well with Ocean Tides!

I now wish that I had continued the polka dota up the entire front of the card base but oh well!  These were stamped in Chamomile ink on Rustic White cardstock.

I am in LOVE with the new die that makes these little rosettes!! 

Here they are up close.

So what do you think?  I'd love to hear your thoughts!!

Starting Wednesday, I will be MIA as I will be in sunny Cabo, San Lucas on vacation but

I may have a post or two scheduled.......We'll see how the packing goes!

{Thanks for all that you do}

Paper:  Ocean Tides, Rustic White, Library Ledger paper (all PTI)

2S4Y sketch

I have been eyeing these sketches for a while now and finally got down to participating in this one!  I really liked this simple sketch and here is my version for 2 Sketches 4 You sketch!!

Used some new goodies one this one.....the Library Ledger paper and my Tea for Two stamp sets/dies. 

I ran a small strip of kraft cardstock through with the woodgrain Impression plate so the teapot looks like it's sitting on the table top!  You can't tell at all but I tried to distress the woodgrain strip with tea dye duo but the ink kept blending into the kraft cardstock!  I guess I will try my dark chocolate ink the next time!

Here is the sketch from 2S4Y.....why don't you come play along? 

Have a great day and thanks for visiting!
