Happy Hump Day

Hi there, I'm back with another card. I decided to work on my patterned paper stash - decreasing it to be precise. My first inspiration came from the current 2 Sketches 4 You blog in form of sketch no. 44, the second was A Passion for Papertrey's challenge "Emboss it". So here's what I made of it:



Well, it's pretty obvious where the sketch came in... as for the embossing part, I heat embossed the flower stems and sentiment from PTI's Mod Squad set and additionally used my new Crop-a-dile to emboss the dots below the sentiment.

So, that's all from me now, hope you liked stopping by today!

A first layout

... I finally got to photograph my first scrapbook layout! You may remember from this post that I forgot to take a picture before giving it away as a present. So here it is:



Sorry for the bad photo but I had to photograph it by night without flashlight (by cranking up the ISO setting way to much... ack!) because of the glass protection. I tried to keep it fairly simple as to leave the stage to their wedding picture. I'm quite happy that they liked it and hung it up in their living room :-)




Supplies
Paper: My Mind's Eye Life Stories Pink Damask, PTI vintage cream
Other: Ikea Ribba frame, Spellbinder's Nestabilities Labels one, clear rhinestones, sewing machine and thread, Faber-Castell pigment pen sepia, printer

Raspberry Suite Color Challenge #21

Hello friends, how's the new year going? I thought it's finally time to get back into the swing of things and post something new over hear. Dawn's new color challenge was the perfect occasion to give some love to some almost zero used stamps. First, let's have a look at the colors...


Aren't these yummy? Makes me think of blue skies and lemon sorbet :) Now, here's my attempt, a little 3,5"x3,5" card to use up some scraps:



See that perfectly flat, knotted ribbon? I {heart} Dawn's great new video tutorials! They're so helpful and of course fun, too :-) Anyway, I used my new Hero Arts Designer Woodgrain as well as this cute, never used bird stamp. The sentiment says "A birdie told me...", so that's a perfect "all occasion" card for my stash. I have quite a thing with "flying objects" lately, huh? Okay, that's all for now! Have a fabulous Sunday, all :-)


PS: Whaddaya think of the new PTI sneaks? I haven't ordered for quite some time now but I'm not sure if (or better say: how long) I can withstand to order... LOL
