Oh Hello

Welcome to this week's Sunday Stamps Challenge - this week Melissa has an awesome colour combination for us.

These colours are right up my alley...I love all three of them!  They spoke "masculine" to me initially, but they really don't have to be.  I decided to use the new "Oh Hello" set with a piece of DSP from "Parker's Patterns" in the Occasions Catalogue.  It was surprising that I didn't have any Soft Suede ribbon - so I went with the Marina Mist and spruced up the corner with a trio of darker embellishments.

The sketch for this card came from Freshly Made Sketches.  I can always count on them to  provide inspiration when I'm in a crunch.  Soooooo much to do this weekend.....sooooo happy for the inspirational blogs out there!

If you're looking for some inspiration in using Melissa's colours this week, make sure you check out the Sunday Stamps Challenge Blog because there are some stunning cards from the rest of the Design Team!

Ballooning Thanks

When I lived in Edmonton, during the summer, you'd see the hot air balloons rising from the river valley.  I don't know if I'd ever have the guts to ride in one - but there is something so peaceful about them floating through the air.

This isn't one of the new sets I got yesterday, but it is new to me and it worked best with the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches today.  I did use one of the "Itty Bitty Banners" with its matching Framelit.

I took the colours from the inspiration photo at Stampin' Royalty.  The photo was of  bright beautiful flowers, which I've transferred to the balloons.  I've used a piece of upcoming DSP called "Comfort Cafe" and the Daffodil Delight Stitched Grosgrain ribbon is new too.

I do like when I have my morning off from school - I can get the challenge of the day done, and putter around a bit with Stampin' stuff.  When I get home this afternoon I'm going to have to start getting to work on some masks for my concert.  Busy, busy, busy.

Hope you have a marvellous day - thanks for visiting.
