I'm very excited to have my color combination featured this week on Pals Paper Arts!  I hope you like it enough to play along! These colors are very soothing to me and remind me of the beach.  As always, I made two cards. The first is for someone who is going through chemo and the second was for a friend who successfully defended her dissertation. I'd love it if you would join us for this challenge!  I can't wait to see all of the pretty creations using this combination.  Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving me a comment.

I stamped my butterfly with Watercolor Wings and then used ButterfliesThinlits to cut the top piece and Bold Butterfly Framlits for the Crumb Cake layer.  The tag is from Lots of Labels.  The sentiment is from Greatest Greetings.  The Cucumber Crush striped paper is envelope paper.  It's nice and thin for envelope liners , but is also a great dsp!  I finished with the pretty green pearl from a recent Paper Pumpkin kit.  Please let me know if you have questions.

I created this card using the Party Pants set from Sale-a-Bration which is no longer available.  There is a cute balloon set which can still be ordered called Balloon Celebration.  This is in the Occasions 2016 catalog which is ending May 31.

Going Green with Scrap-Creations

Hi Stampers!  Here is my card for a GREEN challenge on Scrap-Creations.  I know someone whose birthday is very close to St. Paddy's Day so I made this for her.  I'm so excited to be a part of this design team!

I used the Birthday Blossoms set from Stampin' Up!  I simply colored with an Aqua Painter and the Cucumber Crush ink pad, ran the Cucumber Crush cardstock through the Elegant Dots embossing folder, and then added a strip of the envelope paper.  I also created a liner with the same paper using the envelope liner framelits.  Let me know what you think and if you have questions! Please check out the amazing DT cards at Going Grey With Scrap-Creations!  And join the challenge!!
Thanks for stopping by.

I made this for the Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge. Isn't this color combination delicious?!   I had a new stamp set just waiting to be inked up and I thought these pretty flowers would look great with Watermelon Wonder and Blushing Bride.  I hope you'll go and check out all of the gorgeous creations at Pals Paper Arts! Or better still, why don't you join us in the challenge? ** edited to add:  Ooooops!  I used Blushing Bride instead of Pink Pirouette!

I created this for the Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge.   This combination is in my comfort zone.  I truly love bright colors, especially paired with Night of Navy!  I never used to use Navy, but it has become a favorite.  I think this combination would make a pretty flower card, but I really needed some birthday cards for younger folks.  I might try another if I get some time this week!

I just wanted to share that I was so sad about Strawberry Slush going away and I thought I'd never get over it.  Watermelon Wonder is my new bff!!
