Mojo Monday sketch 339 for layout using Stampin' Up! supplies. Creative Elements stamp set with white brads. In Color designer paper stack, Whisper White, Pretty in Pink, and Pink Pirouette cardstocks and coordinating ink colors.

 

Beauty of Life

 

The Shopping Our Stash challenge was to use your oldest tree stamp. My first thought was Lovely As A Tree but I have had this Beauty Of Life Stampin' Up! set even longer. I had put it into my ebay pile since I lost my Dad this year and it made me too sad to look at it. I retrieved it and I'm using it now to send cards for the troops to send home to their Dad's while they are so far away. All supplies for both cards are all Stampin' Up! The second card uses Sail Away and a brayered background of Lavender and Pacific Point on glossy cardstock. Doodled the border with the Basic Black marker fine tip.

Life is Beautiful

All supplies are Stampin' Up!, designer paper is retired. Simply Sketched and Style Beautiful stamp sets, Rich Razzleberry and Whisper White cardstocks, Daffodil Delight ribbon.

Layout is from today's Sketch Frenzy Friday and the colors are for the Operation Write Home challenge to use purple and yellow together.

JAI Color Challenge

The Just Add Ink Color Challenge was to use Smoky Slate, Pacific Point, and Calypso Coral. My use of the Pacific Point was just in the matting layers, heat embossed So Very Grateful flowers in Smoky Slate powder and colored with markers, dry embossed Slate panel with Vintage Wallpaper folder, used last year's SAB narrow organdy ribbon and brads since they were the only embellishments that I had in the Coral. All supplies are Stampin' Up!
