Wasn't Planning On It...

I wasn't planning on posting anything for a while because I am working on my swaps for convention. But because I had a couple of events that I needed to make cards for, I decided to post what I made. The first card is the card I made for my dad for his birthday and Father's Day, which happened to fall on the same day this year. The second card was for the baby shower of a family friend. Enjoy!

Thank You In Circles

I am starting to do my swaps for Stampin' Up convention, so I wasn't planning on posting any more card ideas. But, I just had a birthday and thought I'd send thank you cards out to my friends and family. I'm in a bit of a creativity slump (which doesn't help with coming up with swaps) so I copied a layout from a card off of Stampers' Showcase (card on the right) by Mary Haugen. Thanks for the great idea! I decided at the last minute to try out a different layout and that is the card on the left. Enjoy!

New In Colors

I just got my pre-order for the new Stampin' Up! catalog last night and got to play a little bit with the stuff tonight. I love the new In Colors, my favorite is Rich Razzleberry. Tonight I met with my group of fellow demonstrators at Swap-n-Talk and whipped this card together between work and meeting them for dinner and swaps. I have to apologize for all the different stamp sets used on this card, but I needed some background and a saying.

Color Inspiration Challenge #2

Last weekend I went to the Outlet Stores in Park City. I found the cutest dress in the Gymboree store and I loved the colors. So I decided to base my second color inspiriation challenge off the dress. Unfortunately I don't have a picture of the dress to post on my blog but here are the colors: Always Artichoke, Mellow Moss, Ruby Red and Cameo Coral. Hopefully I will be able to post a few more projects using these colors in the next day or two. If you want to share your projects using these colors post pictures on your blog and add a comment to this entry. Don't forget to include the link to your blog in the comment. Enjoy!
