Loving my starbursts!

I not only love a good Starburst candy now and then, I also love these stamps and dies from Stampin' Up!  I was making a card and decided to try a few different colors to see what worked best with my designer papers.  I ended up using the different colors on a couple of cards.  I almost didn't buy this set and I'm so glad I did.  It's from the Occasions Catalaog which runs through June 1, 2014.

Which one do you like better?  Thanks for looking and commenting!

PPA 196

Here is my Pals Paper Arts Sketch Challenge card.  I love this sketch!  I used the same stamp set as last week but left the little cake out.  I made this for my aunt who never ages.  Hope you will go and check out what the talented Pals have created.  As always, thanks for leaving comments for me! Hope you had a great weekend.

I completely forgot to include the envelope liner framelits (product 132172).  I have a hard time not lining my envelopes now!  Love the look.

PMDC-041

I really wanted to participate in Pixel Maven's DigiChallenge #041 because I love this color combo!  I still need a few "thinking of you" type cards so I made another. I ended up using a sketch from Pals Paper Arts Challenge from January.  You should play along!

Pixel Maven's DigiChallenge (PMDC-041) Color challenge runs 3/14/14 - 3/24/14. Play along with us at www.pmretreat.com/pmdc @NMWatt #pixelmaven #mydigitalstudio

PPA 195

Here is what I made for the  Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge 195.  This combo was much easier for me than the blue/grays in the previous challenge!  Wild Wasabi is one of my favorite greens and So Saffron is my favorite yellow.  I got this cute stamp set for free in the Sale-a-bration catalog.

You can't quite see the sparkly flames.  Maybe the second photo will help.  I just brushed them on with my clear Wink of Stella pen.  I ended up winning a gift certificate from a Simon Says Stamp blog hop.  I used it to buy the Wink of Stella pen and a cute Simon Says Stamp birthday stamp set.

I'm so ready for spring.  Aren't you?  It's snowing outside my window so I guess I'll have to wait.  Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

p.s.  I neglected to mention the matching envelope I made with the Envelope Liners (product 132172).  I just love how it adds a little something.  I used retired designer papers on this as well in So Saffron.  I love how the matching printed papers make it easy to coordinate!

Pals March Blog Hop

Welcome to the Pals March Blog Hop. This month we are excited to kick-off Spring with our creative projects. We hope enjoy these creations and we hope Spring finds your soon!

You may just be starting the blog hop or may have come from the incredibly talented Mary Fish at Stampin' Pretty on the Pals Hop. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all of the amazing creations.




I finally inked up my Hardwood stamp and used it as my background. I love the look of this stamp! I made a "thinking of you" because I know a couple of ladies who need a special thought right now. 


The next stop is another talented Pal,  Linda Callahan at Stampin' Seasons 15 on the Pals Blog Hop! Thanks for visiting and I hope to see you next month!

p.s.  A huge thanks to the talented Nicole Watt for the adorable badges!
