SPDSS52 and FF86 Hello Sunshine


Happy Friday, peeps!  My sweet friend Michelle is the guest designer at Sugar Pea Designs this month, so I had to play with their sketch:


I had a Paper Pumpkin set from a couple of months ago sitting on my desk and I thought it would be fun to make my own "designer paper" with all the little floral elements contained in the set!  I used the colors from Fab Friday:


and here we go:


I stamped the sunburst from Kinda Eclectic with Hello Honey and stamped a sentiment from the same set on top.....


and stamped the bottom panel with Bordering Blooms in Soft Sky for a nice subtle look!  Added a little Soft Sky banner and some fussy-cut flowers, and it was done!

Dana often frequents a nice Mexican restaurant, and since yesterday was Cinco de Mayo, they gave her a free Minion t-shirt:


 and here's the little Minion herself:


You can tell how thrilled she was to have her picture taken!

Fabulous card - as always - LeAnne. I am always on the lookout for other uses for those wonderful paper pumpkin stamp sets. Cassidy looks darling in her new shirt even tho she didn't seem to want her picture taken in it. Hope your weather is improving! DH was telling me the forecast for next week and was saying temps in the single digits overnight! I checked for myself and it turned out he was reading the wind predictions instead of the low temps! Thank goodness as my iris and peonies are budding and I really didn't want to have to go out every night an cover them up! ~chris

Wow, what a great application of the burlap ribbon! I'm always too chicken to get it out, lol, but you've inspired me! And I love seeing Pumpkin stamps out for a walk! Thanks so much for playing at Fab Friday!

Thanks for your comments on my "Biking in the Country" card. I started using Inkscape about a month ago. It is easier to create free hand drawing than PowerPoint.

I like your burlap here. I have yet to figure that out in Inkscape but I am pretty sure it is doable. It took a few hours to figure out in PowerPoint.

The burlap in your card seems to integrte the rest of the colors. Youhave a great card. Your success with burlap make me more determined to have burlap in my cards again.

Love the color combination on this card! The T looks T-rrific on Cassidy and her glasses really are adorable on her. I wore glasses at this age and hers are perfect for her!!

SO happy to have you playing with us, LeAnne! Your card showcases the challenge colors beautifully. I love the pretty background you stamped and the homey feel of the burlap. It all works together perfectly.
