SPCC #8 !!!

Edited to Add: I just used this for the Caardvarks challenge I just came across. It is my first time playing along! I am excited! Don’t forget to check out the SPCC challenge going on!

This is my first design team card for SPCC! This color combo was really challenging and really fun!! Don’t worry about not having the new Stampin’ Up colors. I don’t either, but I was able to find some decent matches!
Here is the challenge:

Here is my card!
The idea for this card is the addition of a new baby to a family, therefore the three balloons. The balloons are also arriving, so the welcome works with that! 🙂
I love PTI buttons! So amazing!
Could I be more in love with this new button bits Papertrey set?! I think not! 🙂
I so enjoyed my first SPCC design team color challenge. Go check it out, there is a prize for the winner! 🙂 Yay! Who doesn’t love prizes?! 🙂

I can’t wait to see your mossy, dusty, curry cards soon! 🙂

Hero Arts monochromatic, 2 Sketches 4 You, & Thinking Inking challenges!

Three in one!! Wooo! I had so much fun making this card! I finally used my HA apple set! I am also participating in 2 Sketches 4 You for the first time! Here is the sketch:

Here is my card:

I was a little liberal with the sketch. I hope that that is okay! I really loved the four panels and went along with that idea. The circles are cut from my silhouette! Awesome!
See that shimmer? I learned this technique from Thinking Inking. You add water to some liquid pearls and paint it on. Instant shimmer and fun!
The color scheme is obviously green! I really do love green!
How fun is that felt ribbon?! I stamped on it with a sentiment from my new PTI everyday button bits set! So happy it got here. I am pretty sure that I will be obsessed with it!

Have an amazing day,

I am on a design team!!

I am so excited to announce that I am on a design team! 🙂 I am so excited because it is my first design team!! 🙂
I am an SP Diva on the Scrapmaster’s Paradise Color Combos (SPCC) team. SPCC is a new color challenge blog out there that is so fun! There are a great group of girls participating in it, so make sure you get in on the fun! This challenge also has a prize for the winner each week, and let me tell you, there are some GREAT prizes coming up. I highly recommend you participate! 😉
So come check out SPCC for some fun challenges and wonderful inspiration from your fellow crafters!
Oh, and the other great thing is that there are card makers and scrapbookers on the team.
