Woot-Woot! It's the weekend and I am doing the smiling Susan dance as I do love these 2 day challenges! Today card is a simple and clean card (just my style) and then please pop back tomorrow to see the stepped up version!

Today's card showcases 3 colors that I love together (white,my navy and green)….so classic, so clean, so fresh! It doesn't get any cleaner than this and you can see how you can easily change the colors…the orientation of the card to get a total different look!

p.s. – make sure you hang on to the end because there is a SURPRISE that I think will make you smile…no peeking yet = please see the scoop on the card today and then ENJOY!

Let's get going!

  • This is a 4" square card and you will see on Monday where is is going! Square cards are my HANDS DOWN favorite and being able to make your own envelope is a cinch with our envelope punch board.
  • This is a super fun stamp set and I am happy that it will be around as it is a fun one! This coordinates with the deco label framelits so it is a win -win each and every time!

  • All of the sentiments are stellar and fun – and it can be used for so many occasions – it makes a perfect card and you will see on Monday how I am going to use this stamp set again.

  • To get the polka dots "perfect" I used the embossing folder and then the 1/2" punch to place the garden green circles just where I wanted them

  • Stampin' Dimensionals did the trick to lift the sentiment up to shine! (Don't be skimmy on them)
  • Envelope time…using this amazing DSP to line the back flap was a quick and simple touch

Don't you love these colors together? They are so classic – can't you imagine other color combinations to give a totally different twist!

Well….thoughts??? Can you see making a card like this? Please pop back tomorrow to see the changes I did (that literally took a minute but can it a new look!) I hope that these types of post encourage you to look at your work in different ways.

Remember, no rules…just works of art from your heart! Thanks for popping by and please do not forget to check out the weekly deals…and also the retiring goodies! (Just because they are retiring doesn't mean that they are not keepers! There are many products that I will be keeping in my work area…cause' I love them!)

Have a fabulous day and please feel free to email me! Until tomorrow!

p.p.s. – here you go…..now do the HAPPY DANCE – the NEW IN COLORS! So….sooooooo happy! What is your favorite? I'll let you know mine tomorrow!

A Parade of beauties and ?????

Well…well…well – all I can say is YEP – Stampin Up' did it –

The new catalog is A M A Z I N G and I had to be a good girl and not peek at it until last night (as I was hoping to do when it was 1st unveiled) but I had a cloud over my head that I need to finish before I could DIVE IN and see the goodies!

The personal torture I put to myself was so worth it – the catalog is fun, fresh and you are going to LOVE it! I cannot wait to share with you the FUN that is inside – my head is spinning with ideas and I cannot wait to get my "paws" on these goodies and create for you!

I ADORED the comments and YEP – some of my wishes came true and some did not – but that's ok…that's why we wish – Did we get everything on or wish list with Santa – NO….and we worked it out! You are going to love it but here is the winner!

her wish is going to come true as I will be sending her a complete set of Paper Swatches of all of the new DSP = (this is perfect that she commented about DSP)

Once I am able, I will be doing a full offering of Paper Swatches, 1/2 sheets of DSP , Ribbon and embellishments as I think that this is the best way to get a "taste" of new goodies without breaking the bank!

Now to the Parade of cards from Monday – I am so sorry that I did not make my "personal" comments about each of them – I need to "hit the hay" but please know – I am soooooo proud of each of you! I say WOOT-WOOT! Enjoy…..lots of talent and please feel free to leave them a comment – I know that they would appreciate it!

The challenge was to use one color of paper and one color of ink – very clever that some of you "stamped off" to give the look a twist. I received many comments that found this to be a tough one – I am so proud of you for reaching! Way to go!
