SC77S-Mid Month Inspiration!

Hello everyone!  I'll be short and sweet today!  I'm off on a school trip with my oldest daughter!  I've been sort of MIA lately and it's all due to this wedding we have in the family and the house that the bridal couple is renovating... or I should say... the house they have everyone else renovating!  Just kidding... but man oh man... it will be nice to settle down after all this excitement in a couple of weeks!  Anyhoo.... let's get to what you came for...

It's the middle of the month (already) so the ladies and I over at Stampin' Celebration have some sketch inspiration for you!  Click on over to their website so you can find all the ins and outs of how you can play along, and check out all the other DT samples as well!

Here's what I made... and forgive me... but these cards are hard to take a picture of without looking all wonky!

This card had a few firsts for me!  First time for that Watercolour Wonder DSP as well as the Circle Card Thinlits die!  Yes... I've had it for awhile, but just haven't had a chance to play with it.  My bad!  So it turned out pretty well after all... you should have seen me waffling back and forth over this and that, diddling around here and there... but in the end, this is it, and I like it!  That's my story, and I'm sticking to it!

Here's a couple of other close ups... not that you really need them, but I took them, so here they are!

OK, that's it for me!  Seeya later for my Colour Me...! post!

More Sweet Sorbet!

I'm going to show you a few more of my Sweet Sorbet cards today.  This isn't even the last of them!  Sorry!  

Let's get to it!

Feel free to shout it out if you know by whom my cards were inspired or outright copied!  I cannot remember them all as it is a few weeks since I made these!  Above is a CASE from Dawn Olchefske I believe! 

Not too sure about this one!  Oops!  But isn't it pretty?

 

No idea who inspired me for the third and fourth cards, but I am thinking the last one is one I CASED from Ilina Crouse.

OK, that's it for me... come back next week for our new Stampin' Celebration post.... and an exciting announcement from me!

The CASE of Sweet Sorbet

I can't believe my Spring Break will be over this week... it goes by WAY TOO FAST!  But, so it is... 

I haven't had a chance to get crafty for a few days, but I wanted to show you some cards that I had made in the last few weeks!  I did a lot of CASEing, which I like to do sometimes.  There are so many beautiful cards out there that so many talented people create, and sometimes instead of doing all the work and dreaming up my own, I like to just go ahead and outright copy a card that I already know I love!  

I used alot of Sweet Sorbet DSP and the coordinating stamp set as well.  I sure got a lot of cards made by just using the same paper and stamps  so I didn't always have to clean up my workspace!  Efficiency, efficiency, efficiency!

Enjoy!

I honestly don't know anymore who I was inspired by with this first card.  I like to give credit where credit is due, but it's been a few weeks since I made this, and I have since deleted the photo.  If you recognize it as yours, please say so.  I didn't copy it exactly, but pretty closely!

 

This one I was inspired by Cindy Schuster.  I changed a few things to make it mine, but it was largely inspired by one of her Artisan Wednesday Wow cards.

 

Pretty sure this one was based on one of Dawn Olchefske's  cards.

I really don't know about this one anymore.  Sorry!

Same story with this last card too!  None of these are out and out copies though, but I want no hard feelings, so if you recognize anything, feel free to shout it out, and I'll gladly give credit where credit is due!

Take care!  I'll hopefully be back with some more of my CASEd cards tomorrow!

Thoughts of You - JUGS232, PP187

Today I played along with the gals over at Just Us Girls and also The Paper Players!  JUGS had an awesome colour challenge perfect for spring, and to combine with the clean and simple challenge from the Paper Players!  

I love my finished card.  The colour combo I used of Wild Wasabi, Daffodil Delight and Pool Party was just beautiful!  So fresh and fun!  I made my own background paper by randomly stamping stamps from the Petal Parade stamp set.  I had a card saved in my files where someone did that, and I loved the idea.  I am trying to get more mileage out of the (many) stamp sets I have!  I have no idea who to credit though, as the picture wasn't watermarked.

I finished off with a sentiment from Loving Thoughts on a white banner, and anchored that down with the mosaic punch, a linen thread bow, and a couple butterfly punches.  I topped those butterflies with a little 'bling for spring' and called it a card!

Seeya later!  xo Anita
