Time Flies at The Friday Mashup!

This week at The Friday Mashup, Cindy has a great challenge for us. It's very fitting, with the new year and all, that the theme for this week is "Time". You can also mash it up with the great sketch Cindy created.

I used a new stamp set for this one from SAB (it really is the most wonderful time of the year!) and then some older goodies that I just haven't used in a long time. I really wanted something striking against the white and was originally going to go with a red or blue... Then thought, why not do both and go with purple ;)

I've also used the Clockworks set, and the great Chevron embossing folder. White on white, with a bit of texture :) 

Check out the challenge this week:

1. Create a project with the "Sketch"
2. Create a projecting using "the theme of Time"
3. Or Mash it Up and create a project with "a theme of time and the sketch"

Thanks for stopping by today!

Sneak Peek Week - Day #2

It was supposed to be a very dreary weekend - and yesterday lived up to that pretty well.. But it looks like today is going to get nice! I've made myself a coffee and am catching up on a little blogland items I have on my to-do list.

For today's 'sneak peek', I wanted to share another one of my new favourite stamps - Perfect Blend. Not going to lie, I love my coffee. And so do most of my friends and family.

When I first saw this, I immediately thought of my brother and my hubby. It would make great birthday cards for them. But, the first time using it I went with a more feminine theme :)

I use a lot of stamp sets in this one; Perfect Blend, Clockworks, You're My Hero (another one coming up in a sneak peek post), and the stamp from My Paper Pumpkin.

Some other new goodies: Washi Tape & Candy Dots. Umm, yum.

I made this card for the current Sunday Stamps challenge. I just wanted to say a huge thank you to Holly and the rest of the Design Team for such a great time with them. It was a difficult decision, but I needed to take a step back and simplify life a little. That being said, I'm going to go back and play with them as often as possible - because they rock and I'd mis them if I didn't! Go stop by!

I also used the sketch over at Fab Friday - It has been WAY too long since I played with them (wow... since challenge #2?! Well, that's embarrassing...)

Enough with the gab - see you all tomorrow with some new goodies :)

Thanks for stopping by today!

Time flies!

Wow, I can't believe it's been a week since I posted on my blog... Time flies (hehe, how appropriate for the card I'm about to show!)

Erica has a great challenge for us this week at The Friday Mashup:

1. Make a project with a "Time Theme".

2. Or Make a project using the "Color Black".

3. Or "Mash it Up" and create a project with a " Time theme using the color Black".

I kept it very simple and looked to the photo for inspiration. 

Thanks for stopping by today! I'll be back sooner this time... ;)

List of Supplies:

Stamps: Clockworks, Elements of Style

Paper: Basic Black CS, Window Sheet

Embellishments: Gold brads, Gold Embossing Powder

Tools: 1-3/8" Circle Punch, Heat Tool, 1/2" Circle Punch

Soft with an edge!

Wow! Two 'no' layer cards in a row! Yesterday's card for The Friday Mashup was stamped and coloured directly on the Whisper White card base... and so is today's for the Play Date Cafe. I'm feeling very minimalist these days, apparently ;)

Life is a matter of moments

Stamps: Clockworks, Elements of Style

Colours: Pool Party, So Saffron, Primrose Petals, Pink Pirouette

Never in a million years did I think the first time that I used the Clockworks set it would be like this! When I ordered it, I envisioned myself doing something really cool with a lot of layered window sheets, but I failed (and miserably so!) when I tried to do that. Be very sure, when working with window sheets, that if you've stamped something with words or numbers, that you attach it the right way ;) My clock went backwards, and I completely didn't even think about lining the 12 up with the top. It was the wonkiest thing I've ever seen! hahah

The sentiment for this is from the Elements of Style set, and is absolutely perfect.

The lovely colours for this card today came form the Play Date Cafe! It's been too long again since I've played with them, and I certainly couldn't resist this week. Have a peek:

Thanks for stopping by today! See you tomorrow for a new challenge at Sunday Stamps :)
