Buttercup Monster

WooHoo Wednesday! I love seeing what the Freshly Made Sketches gals have every week.  They never disappoint!

I love the pennants framelits that we have now and I am having fun combining the Word Bubble framelits with words from sets other than the set they match.  I pulled out my little Monstermaniacs again - they're just so cute.  I managed to fussy cut the eyelashes, but there was no way I was going to attempt the antennae!  She is popped up on the card.

I couldn't think of any sort of embellishment I wanted to add, so I used one of the pieces from the Circle Card Thinlits to get some small chevron shapes that fit perfectly on the embossed piece.  These little pieces are also popped off the card.

Hope your Wednesday has had something in it to make you cheerful.  Thanks for dropping in for a visit.

Geometric Hooray

I played along with Freshly Made Sketches and Create with Connie and Mary this afternoon.  I don't have the little triangle punch yet, so I just cut out the triangles from the "Geometrical" set I got at Leadership.

I also did a little water colouring - love the idea from Brian Pilling at Leadership!  This will be one of the cards we do at next months' technique class!

Leadership Make & Takes

A super fast post this morning before I head to school showing you the make and takes we did at leadership. 

Donna Griffiths shared ideas with us about the bundles that are in the Occasions catalogue - and then we each received the Happenings Simply Created kit to make three cards….and take the rest of the kit home.  Fun easy kit to work with - as all Stampin'Up! kits are!

 Brian Pilling gave us some watercolour techniques and then we completed this make and take with the Vivid Vases set we received along with an aqua painter.

Finally Brandi Barnard talked to use about the geometric trends and we finished up the evening creating three bookmarks.

I'm looking forward to stamping with some of my new stuff after school today!

Check back to see what I create….

Thanks for dropping by,
