I'm Happy Stampin'

     I needed to get my creative juices flowing so I went in search of a new sketch. I stumbled across this blog Freshly Made Sketches , their sketches are right up my alley, I love their clean and simple style. Usually, I just jot down the sketch and go along my merry way. But this time I decided to actually play along.      I also happened to get my box of NEW Stampin' Up! goodies this week so I have incorporated those as well. Being a SU! demo I get to order a few items from the upcoming idea book and catalog. So I ordered a set of the new In Colors and a couple of the new colors being introduced.      Well, here is the Freshly Made Sketch #84, FMS84, and my first ever challenge version of it. I used three new colors Strawberry Slush, Baked Brown Sugar and the re-introduced Soft Sky. The fluffy flower is made from the Creped Filter Paper, just $2.95 a package. I punched them and colored them with my ink pad. Supplies : stamp set: Label Love (2013-2014 catalog) ink: pri

I love it! It is so much fun. I love the washi tape and the Epic Day dsp, the colors are my personal favorites so what is not to love? Pool Party, Crumb Cake, Calypso Coral, Gumball Green and Basic Gray, the colors are beautiful together. I made a few cards for my last stamp club meeting and wated to share them with you today. The first card features the washi tape. It is so simple to use, you just decide how much you need and rip it off. It is very forgiving too if you attach it to your card a little crooked. You just carefully lift it off and start again.
