Its been awhile huh?

Its been awhile since I've had time to actually sit down and craft. Many changes have happened in this fabulous month of July. {Which happens to be my favorite month, by the way. Can anybody guess why??} More about the changes later, but first a card:

This card was created for a Sympathy Card Swap. Unfortunately, in my line of business {healthcare} I use these all the time. You'd think that since I DO use these are the time, I would actually have a Sympathy stamp- but NO {gasp!} I don't. I inprov'd with this Love stamp and I think its a pretty good fit. Surprise!- no Stampin Up, except for ink, on this card. Thats a cool accomplisment for me. The card base is standard sized cut from Dark Brown CS. Flowers and Love sentiment are stamped on Watercolor Paper. Faux River Rock silky satin ribbon is from Michael's. The designer paper is from Heidi Grace, it is the opposite side of an double sided sheet. The interior of the card is lined with cream CS. More deets later...

Seriously. Cute.

The mother of all challenges. I finally found some free time on my hands- no work, no deadlines- and decided to jump in and join the Sunday challenge over on the Papercrafts Message Board. Today's challenge had the following critera- Colors (Purple, Orange, and Lime Green) and Embellishments (arrows and 3 brads). This was a toughy, all these colors reminded me of halloween and I didnt want to fall into the easy Halloween trap (it is July after all!). I've been wanting to play with this Seriously Sassy set that I acquired awhile ago. It was tough, but I overcame!!! The designer paper is from DCWV Fall Stack. (Thats my only give into Halloween!!!!) I've been on a plaid phase and totally dig this DP. I stamped "Seriously" in Elegant Eggplant on Whisper White and inked up the edges in Pumpkin Pie. I layered it on Elegant Eggplant, and distressed both layers with my Heidi Swapp (thanks Heidi!!!) Edge Distresser. The arrows are from a chipboard embellie pack by Basic Grey that I got a long, long, long time ago at Craft Warehouse. The orange CS is by Bazzill, but I'm not sure what the offical color name is- Sorry! The totally cool "CUTE" is made by Cloud 9 designs. I toned down the lime green color by inking the edges in more Pumpkin Pie. The ribbon is from May Arts. I hope ya' like it- cause I think its pretty darn cool. :)

Sand Castles in the Sky

A fun, beach themed card to share with you today. For this card, I pulled out my trusty TAC stamp- which I still love after all these years!) I tried some new techniques for this one. Instead of coloring the image first, I chose my Designer Paper first. I then picked out watercolors that would match the paper. I liked how this turned out, I was able to challenge myself and use colors that might have been out of my comfort zone. I also was able to use Raffia (Sp?) on this card, which is also something I havent used in ages. This raffia has three colors in it that was just a great addition to this card. The deets: White Card Base- PaperZone. DP- Basic Grey. Dark Brown CS- Paperzone. Watercolor Paper- Canson. Sandcastle/Beach stamp- The Angel Company. Watercolors- markers by Whispers. Adhesive- ATG. TriColor Raffia- May Arts. Tools- Tonic Paper Trimmer, Friskars Rotary Trimmer with Scallop blade.
