Stampin' Up Peaceful Season

Hello Peeps !!!
Happy Monday !!!

I did not have much time today to pick a stamp set for the Simply Simple week , so I just used the Peaceful Season that was already on my desk . All I could think about is Whisper White with a touch of Cherry Cobbler. Using The Petals a Plenty for the background, I stamped the image in Whisper White Paper using Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive. I used a gel pen for the sentiment to give it a touch of sparkle. I also took my marker and just added the outline using a ruler. Hope you like it.

Stampin' Up Seasonal Sentiments

Hello Peeps !!!
Happy Saturday !!!

Another week of Consider It Cased and this card is just that-Totally Cased from Ros blog 
( Ros Davidson). I love the sketch and her card is just beautiful especially the used of the DSP.

Happy Thursday !!!
These colors for today's Playing with Colors are just so perfect together- Baja Breeze, Riding Hood Red, So Saffron and Whisper White for my Neutral.

Thoughts of You

Hello Peeps !!!
Happy Tuesday !!!

It's about this time of the month that I think of fall- although I live here in the desert and we do not have the colors of fall around us, these colors still remind me of it.  I used Old Olive, Cajun Craze, Early Espresso and Peach Parfait. I did not think that the SA wheel was going to show as much because it was done on Versamark but looks like the camera captured it well.  The squares I popped with dimensionals and the sentiment as well. I used the Old Olive satin ribbon for accent. Hope you like it.

RECIPE:
Stamps: Falling Leaves, Bright Blessings SA wheel
Paper:  Cajun Craze, Early Espresso, Very Vanilla, Old Olive, In Color DSP
Ink: Early Espresso, Cajun Craze, Peach Parfait, Old Olive
Accessories:  Old Olive satin ribbon, brads

Stampin' Up Just Believe

Hello Peeps !!!

Happy Saturday !!!
I am pretty wiped out this morning after a busy night working.  I was lucky to find a very cute and "just waiting to be cased card" by Gretchen ( Inspiration in Action).  I made a few changes although I did manage to used the two colors-Concord Crush and Chocolate Chip. I still wanted the wrinkly look on the ribbon, so I sorta adapted it using the poly-stitched ribbon. This card is for a special dear friend who is celebrating her birthday. She loves purple and she loves butterfly.  Hope she likes it.
Thank you Gretchen for this wonderful opportunity to cased you.
