Pumpkin/Olive/Blue Challenge

Made By: Betty D.

New In Colors Challenge

Card Size: 3 1/2" x 5"

Made By: Alaina

Page Size above: 6"x6" brag book

Page Size below: 8 1/2" x 11"

These 2 scrapbook pages use the same element found on the card above. These examples were featured in the Stampin' Up! demonstrator magazine; I copied their ideas making just a couple changes of my own.

These are great examples of how you can take an element from a page or card you like and swap it to the project you're working on!

Color Challenge #1

This is my first color challenge; I hope no one is too shy to participate. These are designed to get your creativity going by giving you a "boost" and to give you a fresh perspective on colors from another creative stamper's mind.

Make a card using the following colors, plus 1 neutral (whisper white, very vanilla, etc):

~Old Olive
~Pumpkin Pie
~Bashful Blue

For those who have the new In Colors, you can try this combination as well:

~Certainly Celery
~Soft Sky
~Purely Pomegranate

Good Luck!

In The Spotlight

This is the third card I've made using this hostess set. The other two aren't finished yet, but I will revise this post once I finish adding my embellishments to them and get them uploaded.

Despite this being a very versatile stamp set, I'm having trouble coming up with good ideas for it. So we'll see how I do later on tonight!!

Garden Silhouettes

This is a hostess set from the new Fall/Winter Collection. We'll be using this set on Friday, the 27th for our monthly Club Meeting.

Double Line Doodles

These are 4 samples we made at Regionals last year using the Double Line Doodles set new to the Fall/Winter '07-'08 Collection.

Faux Metal

You can create the look of metal without the high cost! All you need is a heat tool, versamark and silver/gold embossing powder... Faux Metal allows you to customize your metal pieces to coordinate with your stamp sets. No more unused pieces, or struggling to find a stamp set as the same style.

If you'd like to see how to achieve this great look, email me, to set up a one-on-one app't or a workshop!!

These are two examples from the Faux Metal Technique Class that I hosted.

Time Flies!

I can't believe it's been a month already! I have a pile of cards waiting to be scanned and posted, as soon as our printer decides to cooperate!

I'm also expecting a couple orders of new product to be coming very soon. I'm so excited to sit down and just STAMP STAMP STAMP. I have so many ideas rolling around in my head, I won't be able to keep them straight for long!!

I'll probably be putting up a color challenge...as soon as I make it down to the basement today to start working. Only what colors to choose....???
