Parakeet Party

By now I'm sure you have seen the new In Colors. They are bright and fun! I have an In Color club where each month you get the cardstock, ink pad, marker, blends, designer series paper, ribbon, re-inker, glimmer paper, twine, and dots if you chose. When you are part of this club, you also get at least one card from me using the color for the month. I'm sharing with you the cards I made for Parakeet Party.

I only used Basic White and Parakeet Party for this card so that the color can stand out more. This limey green is one of my favorites! I always like when there is a limey green in our line up of colors!

Amazing Silhouettes

I was given this set by Stampin' Up! for attending a conference. I have to admit to not being in love with the set but I have still enjoyed creating with the set. Sometimes it's good to be forced outside of our comfort zone.

The leaves are stamped with Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen. This is a pretty simple card but it is pretty anyway.

Prince & Princess

Did you notice this set in the last catalog? It was a hostess only set. I got it right away in May or June last year and then it sat on my shelf. I always figured I had all year to use it! Man, time sure does fly by once in a while! I always picked a different set to create with and this one collected dust. 

I did pull it before the catalog ran out but I didn't get to sharing my creations until now. The card base is Crumb Cake with Calypso Coral and a hint of Balmy Blue. I did put Wink of Stella on the swan. It's very shimmery and shiny in real life. 

Let's Set Sail

Well, I have been missing again. This summer was way busier than I anticipated and something had to fall through the cracks. The blog was one of the many things that didn't get accomplished like I had hoped. School started this week and with a schedule I should be able to work on things in a timely manor again, at least I hope so! 

I played with Let's Set Sail and create these three cards. The firs one was created with Pool Party as the base and water color. The boat is Real Red, Night of Navy and Bermuda Bay. I kind of wish I would have sponged a bit more Night of Navy in the sky. It feels like a couple of smudges instead of intentional.

Hello Ladybug Scrapbook Pages

I love the layout of these pages! I will have to use this sketch again with different papers and see what else I can come up with. But before I get ahead of myself, let's take a closer look at these pages.
