I just love the colors in this paper pack.  You can earn it and the stamp set for free With a $350 workshop or purchase.  Or with an order of $20. you may purchase the stamp set and paper pack for the price listed.  Heads up, the SU paper packs will be going up in price starting with the summer mini.  So, if you like it, now is the time to save the extra dollar.  :)
There has been lots of guesses as to the colors in the paper pack.  lol  My Guess on Colors are: ( I did use the color coach)

•Bravo Burgundy
•Chocolate Chip
•Marina Mist
•Not quite Navy
•Always Artichoke
•River Rock
•Tangerine Tango

Have a fabulous weekend!!

Doin the happy dance

I was chosen as one of the top three for this card!  Thanks ladies!  It was a really fun sketch to play with!  Join the fun every week and be inspired!

Easter bunnies

Some more craftiness I did with my mom.  I stamped everything and had the triangle boxes scored and ready.  We loaded up and while the girls swam at the pool Mom and I made these.  I love em!  So cute!  The ears, nose, and paws are colored with chalk.  They are filled with yummy Jellys.

Paper: Whisper white and Pink Pirouette

Stamps: Bunny Maker (Inky Antics)

Gamsol and Chalk

 

Mom and Dad came to visit last week and we played a bit with chalk.  She was wanting some simpathy cards and I came up with these.  We colored them with SU chanks and gamsol (orderless mineral spirits).  Gamsol makes the chalk flow and blend.  More like paint. 

Paper: Shimmery white, Concord crush, Rose red, So saffron

Stamps: Elements of Style and Thoughts and Prayers

Some thank yous

Was talking to

Mom the other day and she said she was in need of Thank Yous.  So, I took the hint and made her some.  They are super simple but they are cute and fun.   Good chance I cased someone but if I did I don't remember who.  :)

Paper:  Whisper white, DP from mat packs

Stamps: Forest Friends and Happy Together SU, Thank You Close to my Heart

WOW Bright Challenge

For this one I dug up some retired CS!  When I saw this challenge it made me think of those jelly fruit slices and summer.  Fun and bright!  LOL  I like the feeling this card gives but not sure of it in general.  It just doesn't seem quite right.  Oh well they all wont be award winners. :)

Paper:  Yoyo yellow, Gable green, Only orange, and Whisper white

Stamps: Tart & Tangy (SU), Treasure Life, and Friendship word puzzle (CTMH), Polka Dot basics 2 (papertreyink) 

Sew Suite

Your not tired of seeing this machine yet, right?  LOL  Think this is my favorite so far.  Well there is the sketch I followed but I cant remember where to find it.  LOL  Ahhha  I found it!  Stamped the measuring tape right on some so saffron ribbon.  I tried Mementos (tuxedo black ink) but it bled through.  Stazon worked better.

Sew sweet

So you thought it would be at least another 8 months before you heard from me again right?  LOL  Today I used the Color challenge CC315  and sketch CAS111 both from Splitcoast Stampers.  The colors are Regal Rose, Pear Pizzazz and So Saffron.  The sentiment is on pear pizzazz but the button is certainly celery.  Love this set though finding a sentiment for it is annoying.  Sew it is hand written and not centered. :)  Oh well like the set anyway. 
Thanks for droppin in

Create with Connie and Mary

Sew here is my take on the sketch here.  I am enjoying coloring these cute sewing machines.  I have finally aquired all of the SU markers YEAH!!!  They are so fun to color with.  The buttons are great fun to add as well.   

No sentiment this time.  I hate my handwriting.  :)

Teal Kimono

Well I found a color challenge with PTI (Papertrey Ink) colors here and gave it awhirl with SU colors.  Taken with Teal (retied), Cool Caribbean (retired), Pumpkin Pie, and Peach Parfait are my color choices.  I used the SU kimono Kids stamp set and the birthday wishes from Bring on the Cake.  I am happy with the way it turned out. :)

Mojo Monday 181

Well its been forever  :)  Thought i'ld jump in by showing you the card i made for the this weeks sketch.

I used Elements of Style stamp,
Retiered Bella Blue paper, Crumb cake, Not Quite Navy, & Very Vanilla Card Stock
Victoria SU ribbon,
 and early espresso, versamark ink

A few things in May

Here are my cute girls suckin lemons at Schlotzsky's.

I made Aleah's strawberry jumper here too!

It was also Devens Bday.  He is now 14!  He does not like to have his photo taken!  But I managed to get a few that are good.  :) 

Love the look on Dads face!  Poor guy he couldn't even have any and its his fav!  He cant stomach milk any more :)

I don't remember what he was laughing

about but I love that I caught it!  :)

Deven and Vanessa are in the cultural event this Saturday in Thatcher.  I am so glad that they get to participate.  I had to make Vanessa's skirt and apron.

And Yes, she died her hair again. :)

Here is another

skirt I made for Aleah.  She didn't want me to take her picture.  hehehe   I used the pattern here.  Very easy to follow.  I made one for Breanna too but she hasn't worn it yet.

And a graduation card I made for my cousin who just finished high school.

I used Basic black, whisper white and retired marigold morning card stock.  Their colors are black and gold and I thought this worked.  :)  I totally cased Jackie Topa's card.  Very cute!

Thanks

Sorry for the silence.  My allergies have gone wild.  I don't think I have been hit this hard since we moved here.  Anyway....

I have been sewing

I made my three youngest girls this cute skirt using Molly's pattern over at Me and Madeline.  I really haven't sewed that much but she made these skirts easy.  In about an hour apiece I whipped up my second and third. 

After our team meeting last Saturday I came home and put together this cute bag.  I have seen them floating all over the net as the Big Shot rag bag but I liked the more finished look Angie Juda gave it.  You can find a tut over on youtube.  She has a cute ruffle and I added a bow.  I used batting instead of the felt that she calls for only because I didn't have any.  :)  I also added pockets on either end inside. 

Then I made these springtime skirt and purse for Aleah.  I got the idea for the skirt while browsing etsy and found this skirt.  So cute!   

Says my brain: I think I can put that together using the base instructions from the last skirt.  Didn't go together as easily as I hoped but with a little work it is wearable.  :) (I didn't buy the pattern) LOL  Made the purse using 8 squares in stead of 24 and used one long handle so she can wear it across her.  She loves them both!  Yeah!!  Now to make two more purses for the other girls.  :)

Thanks for stoppin by hope you are having a great weekend

Birthday

Breanna finnally got invited to a birthday party that was not on Sunday!  She was so excited!  We went through my list of cards to case and she chose this one

So this is our take on it.  She colored the cake.She wanted it just like it but I managed to change it up just a bit.  :)  I used the pinking hearts border punch then covered the hearts with the red polka dot piece.  Thanks for stoppin by

Had to get Aaron to add to it as well!  He looks like he is enjoying it right!  LOL  Love it!!
