So Sorry Scalloped Tag / NAC 113

Hey y'all. Happy Tuesday. Hope you're having a good week so far. It's been a busy one here already! So much going on here, and I'm posting this late so it's going to be quick tonight. We've got a sketch challenge this week and I hope you'll play along with us!

Luckily I don't often need sympathy cards because I usually find them pretty hard to create. Last week however, my co-worker asked if I could come up with something for a friend that was having a tough time. Of course I said sure. Then I worried about what I was going to come up with.  Well I opened up a pack of DSP that I got a month or so back during one of our promotions, because I could get it as part of a promotion and decided I really liked it. It's soooo pretty! And of course I looked at our upcoming sketches and "BAM!" I knew what I was going to do-

I'm soooo excited with how this turned out! Many of you know how rarely I use a quarter sheet of DSP for a background, but this is just so beautiful. For the image I used the the In-Color BlackBerry Bliss and Mossy Meadow Markers and stamped off twice before stamping on my tag. The sentiment is stamped full-strength. I sponged the edges before adhering it with Stampin' Dimensionals and attaching the bow with a Mini Glue Dot.

Here's a close-up of the tag-

I think this is an Awesome sketch and I have No Doubt it's going to be one I'll be using as a "go-to" in the future. How bout you?

 

Here's a look at the inside-

I love that this stamp set  is so versatile. I don't know about you but I hate to need this kind of stamp set, but I really hate even more is to need lots of these kinds of sets. That's one reason why I like this set so much. Here's a look at the matching envelope-

Well, that's all I have for you tonight. I hope you liked my card, and I hope it inspired you to play along with us this week. I can't wait to see what you create!

Thanks so much for taking time out of your busy day to stop by my little corner of the world. You are very appreciated! Till Next Time-

Remember- Life is often more about the storms than the peace they seek to overwhelm. It's not about Waiting for the storms to pass, but Learning to Dance in the rain.

Hey y'all. Happy Tuesday. I hope you're having a Great week so far. I'm sure most of you know, I do NOT like it when the temps start to drop and it was in the 40's when I went to work this morning! WHAT?!? I do however love the Halloween season and love decorating for it. When I sold my house and downsized I got rid of most of my seasonal decorations. :( I may not have a lot of decorations, but I have some cute stamps and paper and I enjoyed a little creative time this weekend. The Nacho's have a color challenge for you this week and I used some of our fun New DSP. Here's what I came up with-

Well, it has a little Melon in it, but it's mostly our colors. My hand landed on this paper and I knew I had to use it! Isn't it fun!?! I'm loving how cute this card came out.  :) What do you think?

Here's this week's colors-

I can't wait to see what you create with this week's challenge. I know it's going to be fabulous! Thanks so much for taking time our of your busy day to stop by my little corner of the world. You are very appreciated. Till Next Time-

Hey y'all. I hope those of you that live here in America had a wonderful 3 day holiday weekend. I worked most of it at my second job, but it sure was nice to get to sleep in, especially on a Monday! I also got to spend a lot of it with the babies which is always a plus. I also got a few minutes of downtime to play with this week's challenge. The Nacho's have a sketch for you this week and I'm excited to see what you create with it! Here's what I came up with-

I love being able to try new designs without any fuss or muss. I created this week's card with MDS and had fun playing. I created the banner previously, using a combination of punches, and then saved it for use later. How cool is it to be able to do that?!? So many options!!!

Here's the sketch we have for you this week-

So many options...What will you create? I can't wait to see it!

Here's some of the items I used to create this week's project

Hey y'all. Happy Tuesday. I hope you had a good weekend and are enjoying your week so far. It's hard to believe we are already well into October. Who said that was allowed to happen!?! It's getting cold here in the DMV already, which to me means it's pretty miserable. I'm not ready for Fall yet, so I really enjoyed working with this week's Nacho Color Challenge. It was warm and fun. Here's what I came up with-

I used the Happy Things Pocket Cards MDS Download to create this and it was sooooo Quick and Easy. The best part of this card- Being Digital, the possibilities and combinations are Endless! The Polka-Dots are a stamp set from the download. I just colored them with this week's colors. The sentiment is also from the same set. I'm so happy with how this turned out. Not only do I love this as a card to give to friends, I also think this would be great to use in Project Life pages. how easy to change the colors to match your layout.

Here's this week's colors-

That's all I have for you today. I hope you like today's card and I hope it inspires you to play along with us. I can't wait to see what you create! As always if you have any questions about today's project, be sure to leave me a message below and I'll be sure to get back to you.

If you need supplies for your own creations, here's a list of supplies. It's a short one this week-
