Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge #194

6

As you read this post I am in Phoenix AZ on business.  Once my business meetings are over I will spend the weekend with my Dad who moved to Mesa AZ last year from Naples FL. (Who does that?) Anyway, I am looking forward to seeing my dad's new house and getting to spend some time with him.

Today we celebrate another Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge! 

03-06-2014 PPA color challenge

The colors for this challenge are…

PPA 194

There is definitely a geometric theme happening! The ribbon is a piece of Chevron ribbon cut in half and using the Craft Scissors made a beautifully clean cut. A couple of mini glue dots is all that is needed to keep it in place.

I was looking for a star punch and I can't believe I do not have one. So I used the new Petite Petals punch and cut off the rounded edges of the flower. Later I realized there is a star in the Circle Thinlits set. Oh well, I am pleased with my "adapted" star. It is always fun to take a tool and modify it to create something new.

I hope I inspired you today! For more inspiration, join my StampinMojo Facebook page on the right and stay up-to-date with all StampinMojo posts.

This card design is not an original and I have seen it take many forms. I wanted to do a twist on this design and have the party hats get a shade lighter with each square.  From left to right, I used Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana, and finally Pool Party.  The difference between the Coastal Cabana and Pool Party is very subtle. While I was not able to capture it in my photos I did add a little glimmer to the stripes in each hat with a Wink of Stella Brush in clear by ZIG.

Can you see the glimmer?

Thanks for stopping by today.  Don't forget to come back on Thursday for a new Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge card.

See you then,

Michelle

As I strive to develop my creative mojo I want to enter more challenges this year. My schedule does not always allow me to do this however I had some quality time to craft this weekend and created this card for the Fab Friday challenge.

I have never taken on a challenge with five colors before and I am very pleased with the result.

Here were the parameters for the Challenge:

It was definitely a safe way for me to jump into a five color challenge. I would love to hear your thoughts!

Freshly Made Sketch #125 – Hoppy Easter

March 1st, yikes time is flying. The sketch over a Freshly Made Sketches is so clean and simple I had to jump into the fun.

I had purchased the Eggstra Spectacular stamp set from the Occasions catalog and knew this was a perfect sketch to get it inked up. Here is the card:

FMS entry 3-1-2014

A very clean and simple design for sure.  I used Pear Pizazz, Daffodil delight, and Tangerine Tango to create a the feeling of Spring. The new Fringe Scissors also got some attention today.  The Happy Easter stamp is embossed in Tangerine Tango to create texture to the "egg". 

I have launched my StampinMojo Facebook page. Please become a fan on the right and follow my posts regularly.

Yesterday, I mentioned our oldest was coming home for Spring break. As he was on the bus traveling home and texted that he was looking forward to some Girl Scout cookies.  Of course as any mom would do, I sought out Girl Scout cookies. Here is the result…

Obviously he was thrilled to have his wish granted.

Enjoy your day!
