Get Well Soon...

I based this card completely on the strip of designer paper...from the stripes I went with Baja Blue and Chocolate Chip and staggered the trees from Tree Silhouettes. I am trying so hard not to really love the Baja Blue color...it is one of those In Colors SU offers for one year and then retire...I REALLY don't need another color like this, but with the chocolate chip it is so pretty!
I am dropping my demonstrator status soon and need to stay strong and resist the urge for another color on a limited time frame. I will let you know if I get pulled in.. :o)

Have a great day!

Retro Roxy

InStyle Stamps has some wonderful retro stamps that are so fun to color or paper piece, this time I colored Roxy using my Bic It markers. She just looks so sassy! I used Basic Grey designer paper and Real Red cardstock.  The flowers I found at Hobby Lobby and love the bright red color. I ended up using the sentiment "sweet" from the retired SAB set: So Very (though I wish it said "Sassy"). ;o)

My children start back to school today and I am looking forward to more of a routine. Christmas break was so nice, but I am ready to get back to a normal schedule. Have a great day!

Blue Bayou Butterflies

This is for last Wednesday's sketch challenge on SCS. I made another one earlier in the week but wasn't quite pleased with it so sadly, it went to the scrap pile. For this one, I am pleased because I visualized this in my head and it actually turned out exactly as I wanted it to. :o) ...and for me, that is big! I stamped the butterfly on Very Vanilla cardstock and punched it out using the Square Scallop Punch. Then I stamped the butterfly three more times on a scrap piece of cardstock. It took no time at all to cut them out and piece on top of each so that the wings would stand out and this certainly worked easy enough!
Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
