Fabulous, Celebrate! PP223

I had no intention to use Leanne's sketch again so soon, but I will be filing it away for the future, for sure.
It seemed only fair to make a feminine version too, and my mind is already thinking about another one - for a young boy. That is definitely an indication of a great sketch! You can check other interpretations at The Paper Players.

Melon Mambo and Perfect Plum were the colours this time around, and Gorgeous Grunge had another use along with Work of Art and Starburst Sayings.


Love this Large Polka Dot Embossing Folder and it hasn't been used for a while. I tied a little bundle of ribbons (all retired, but current colours) and topped it off with a medium Vintage Faceted button.

Now, I really must go get some chores done!

The World to Me

 I like the way we have a World Map among the Stampin' Up! range of stamps, AND another that says "You Make the World a Better Place" because they go together like a hand and glove. Orange and Navy are a bit like that too, making striking partners. Colour Me also like this combination, paired with a neutral, and I chose Crumb Cake.

Starburst Sayings has the lovely round sentiment, and "May Happiness Be your Destination" comes from Happy Congratulations, a stamp set from the Occasions Catalogue earlier in the year. Perfect for a Graduate or Traveler!
I had stamped the Hardwood stamp with Crumb Cake on Whisper White for another card, and punched out with the Chevron Border Punch and the pieces here were destined for scrap, but waste not want not, as the saying goes.

Have a great week
Rachel

Celebrate Your Day CCMC329


 The sketch at Connie and Mary inspired me to put this more masculine birthday card together. Yesterday I had been asked if I had any of the I Am Me DSP left, and it turns out I had a LOT, so I vowed to use some up. I had bought a few packets because it related to travel and photography, two topics close to my heart.

I have also spent the morning tidying my stamp set shelves and that allows me to "discover" stamp sets again, and that is always a lot of fun!  The largest stamp from Starburst Sayings has been stamped in Calypso Coral, before layering on silver glimmer paper and another layer of black card. The little 'celebrate'  image has been stamped in Real Red and layered up also. Its easy to choose colours by pulling them from the DSP.

CCMC329



I had a lovely evening last night when my son who lives furtherest away, stopped off for the night with his family. They were heading north to go camping with friends from his school days who have an annual camping trip in mid-November every year. My eldest grandson was happy to play with his little sister in Pop's hammock, while Gran worried if they would fall out! Fortunately they didn't. It meant an early start for me this morning so I had plenty of time to get things done.



Have a great weekend

Happy Flowers RS127


While I had those stamps, papers and inks out yesterday, I continued to make birthday cards. I found the sketch at RetroSketches rather intricate, somewhat like a puzzle, but fun to put together.

My only disappointment with my work is, by using the rather large Starburst Sayings stamp for the circular image, I have ended up covering most of my favourite paper. However, when I tried a smaller circle I didn't like it half as much, so that's why you see this imposing, "shouting", Oh, Happy Day.

 Again, you see Petite Petals in Blushing Bride and Strawberry Slush, with a few leafy sprigs punched in Mossy Meadow and Mossy Meadow is used for the second greeting, And Many More.



Have some fun stamping soon, and share
Rachel
