Like a Fine Wine, You Only Get Better With Age---PPA 263 and FMS 199

August 13, 2015

 I am sorry that I haven't posted in a few days.  My mojo has been lacking lately.  Not sure if it is the heat in GA, or I just needed a few days to be a bum.  HA!

 Well, when I saw the colors at Pals Paper Arts and the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches, I knew just what I wanted to do!  So, I thank both of these amazing teams for helping me get back in the groove!  

I absolutely LOVE this color palette!  Tempting Turquoise and Rich Razzleberry are two of my all time favorites!  

 I just received my new stamp set from SugarPea Designs-Wine Not.  Every time I look at this girl stomping grapes, I can't help but think of I Love Lucy!  I still watch that show when I can find it on TV.  She was by far, one of the funniest ladies that ever lived.  I hope you will enjoy my card.  


I stamped the girl with Momento Black ink and colored her with Stampin' Up! markers and a few Copics for dimension.  I fussy cut her and worked on the rest of my card.  

 The base card is white.  I added a strip of Tempting Turquoise (Brights) DSP and then added a strip of Rich Razzleberry after I cut a banner on the end with my snips.  The sentiment is heat embossed using Rich Razzleberry ink and clear embossing powder.  I stamped a couple little birds delivering more grapes for her and colored those with the same markers.  

Thanks for stopping by my blog!  Please leave a comment and let me know your thoughts!  I love to hear from you!

 Have a fantastic day!

 HUGS!

HELLO-SSC107

August 9, 2015

It's Sunday and time to join us at the Sunday Stamps Challenge!  This week we have a color combination for you to play along with.  We can't wait to see what you create!




  • Feel Free to use any brand of Product you have.
  • Please create a new project with the Sketch above and provide a link to our challenge or use the challenge graphic in your post. 
  • Please limit the number of combined challenges to no more then 5 including ours. 
  • Have fun!!! 
  • The Challenge is open for 2 weeks and the Linky will close on Friday, August 21st @ 6pm EST


    • My card base is white (5 1/2" X 4 1/4")  I cut a layer the same size from a Retired Stampin' Up DSP "Gingham Garden" for the top.  I cut a white frame using a die in my stash.  (Sorry, I can't remember where it is from)  The inner layer is from the same retired "Gingham Garden" SU paper.  The poppies are from the Pleasant Poppy stamp from Stampin' Up!  It is also retired. I colored the poppies with Copic Markers.  I fussy cut all of them and also stamped a few more to color to pop up for dimension.  Hope you can see it it this photo.  
    I know I used a lot of retired products, but that was the inspiration I had from the photo.  I have sooooo much stuff in my stash and I have to start using some to it!  

    The "HELLO" sentiment was cut five times with a die on red paper.  I love the way it finished my design.  I added Wink of Stella for extra shine.

    Thank you for stopping by my blog today!  Please leave a comment and let me know your thoughts.  I love to hear from you!

    Home Is Where Your Honey Is-PP257

    Aug. 9, 2015

     It's Sunday and time for a new challenge at The Paper Players !  We loved all the "Square" cards last week for Jaydee's challenge!  WOW--you made it difficult to pick the winners!

     I am the hostess this week and my challenge is create a project using Bermuda Bay, Kraft/Crumb Cake and Old Olive!  I love this combo and it is so exciting to think of all the possibilities!  Have fun!!

    My base card (5 1/2" X 4 1/4") is Bermuda Bay.  The next layer is Crumb Cake (5 1/4"X 4").  The next layer was cut with a rectangle stitched die with Old Olive.  I cut a scalloped banner using the MFT Blueprints 14 Die Set and I also cut a strip of Crumb Cake and embossed it with the polka dots embossing folder.  I adhered those and wrapped Bermuda Baker's Twine around it several times and added a button from my stash and a big bow.  I sat that aside while I worked on the image.

    The stamp set and sentiment are from SugarPea Designs-Bee My Honey.  I colored the bears, tree, hive and bees using Copic Markers.  I fussy cut all of the pieces.  I cut a white circle with a stitched die and sponged Crumb Cake and Old Olive on the ground.  I used foam tape to adhere the bears and tree.  I also added Wink of Stella to all of the pieces for added shine.  
    So happy you stopped by my blog today!  Please leave a message!  I love to hear from you!
