My friend Jess and I decided to stamp in the new year last night. We live far apart so we picked a time to meet online and then stamped and chatted. Kristina Werner’s Color Challenge for this week was one of our inspirations.
I’m typically a card maker, but this Saturday I’m taking my friend’s daughters to go see Disney on Ice. Since there is so much pink in this challenge, I thought it would make a great scrapbook page for our girls outing!
Today I was a bit stuck on what to do for my 2nd Make-and-Take for my Open House tomorrow. There are some great blogs out there that feature weekly sketch/color/inspiration challenges. I’ve been adding them to blogroll on the left, so if you are stuck, check them out! Today I was inspired by Taylored Expressions’ Cupcake Challenge #36. Here is the result of my playing around with her sketch:
I just got back from a great trip to Boston. I got to do a fair amount of stamping with folks in my Upline (an upline/downline is like a “family” of Demonstrators). I’m fortunate to have a fabulous upline that are supportive, creative, and fun. My whole upline is in the Boston area, so I miss out on a lot of great meetings/events.
I lucked out that my trip coincided with my up-up-upline Diana’s downline meeting this weekend. I had such a great time - we chatted about creative projects and business ideas. We also swapped! Swapping is a way for card makers to share ideas and get creative inspiration. Diana asked us to do fall/Halloween themed cards. Here is mine, using the Level 3 Hostess Set Window Dressing:
This may look familiar…it is pretty much the same sketch as the card I did for my friend’s daughter’s birthday in July. The pumpkin and apple were colored with Watercolor Crayons - my new favorite Stampin’ Up! product! The grapes were colored with Stampin’ Pastels
