PPA 259: Best of Thoughts!!

Hi everyone!!  This weeks challenge really did give me thought!  When I initially saw the colors I immediately wanted to do a July 4th theme.  However, guess what?  July 4th was last weekend!!  LOL!!  On to plan "B".    So I looked up and saw Best of Thoughts!  Viola!!

Here's my card below:

 The silver foil I thought would be fun to cut random hearts to add a little sparkle.  Completely opposite direction than I thought about heading!!  Lol!! 

I hope you enjoyed my post today.

PPA 257: Stampin' Up Punch Art

Hello my fellow stampers!!  As many of you know, I'm really into Vintage Campers.  As soon as I saw this sketch I thought it would give me the perfect opportunity to create something using punch art.  I immediately thought of this little camper!!!  What do you think?

The flags form the diagonal line.   The camper and the little black window form the two circular objects.  All of the products used to make this camper were using Stampin' Up products such as Large Dot Embossing Folder, Oval Framelits, 1" Circle Punch, Banner Punch, Flag Framelits and more.  What fun!!

I hope you enjoyed my post today.

PPA 255: Summer Fun!!

Hello stampers!!  This weeks color I just love!   I know it's summer, but I still love color palates like this to use.  They are so versatile and just classic.  Some may feel this leans toward Fall, but to me the colors say shabby chic, coastal and beautiful summer flowers of shades of blues you can't get any other time of the year.  Below is my card for this weeks challenge:

What do you think?  I used the stamp set Butterfly Basics with Hardwood background stamp.  To make the background lighter, I stamped off the Early Espresso, so the color would not be so dark. 

Before, I go I wanted to show you this little cutie below.

This is a 1961 Shasta Airflyte.  This is NOT mine, but this is on my bucket list to have one day!!  Wouldn't this be so much fun to tool around with in the campgrounds?  I'm keeping my eyes and ears open! Too cute!!!

I hope you enjoyed my post today.

PPA 253:

Hi my stamping friends!!!  This weeks sketch challenge is magnificent!!   What did you see when you first saw it?  An abstract?  Mountains or rolling hills?  See what I mean?  What fun!!  I invisioned rolling hills.  I decided to go outside the box and do a fun summer day.  We're desperately in need of sunshine in our state of Texas.  I live just outside of San Antonio near Blanco, Wimberly and on up to Austin.   Our area was tragically hit hard with floods that have resulted in the loss of lives and property.  Dallas and Houston have suffered even worse.  Today's card is in remembrance of our easy Texas summer days.

A couple of tricks you might find fun.  The clouds were made from the cup cake punch.  The tree leaves are from the stars border punch.  Who knew?  LOL!!

I hope you enjoyed my card today.

PPA 249: Shades of Spring

Hi fellow stampers!!!  It's time for another fabulous sketch with the Pals!!  

This week I finally decided to use my "Butterfly Basics" and "Painted Petals" 

stamp sets for this fabulous sketch.  I just love them both!  

I'm already thinking about what I'm going to do next with them.  This card I used Old Olive for the fern stem.  It looks like I used three different shades, but I actually only stamped off the ink to get the different shades.     

Here's my card below:

Isn't that cool?

I hope you enjoyed my card today

PPA 247: The Three Shades of Purple!!!

Hello stampers!!!  This week we have a color challenge which has proven to be a challenge for me!!!  I never use these colors!  Purple in three shades!!  YIKES!!!   If it wasn't for that the fact I'm a paper hoarder, I probably wouldn't even have these colors.  LOL!!  So after considerable thought and
contemplation; I decided flowers it must be.  Obvious, but hey, a girl's got to do what a girl's got to do!  LOL!!  Her's my card below:

The flower pot card is from a template I used off of Split Coast Stampers.  Isn't this fun?  I'm going to have to make a bunch more of these with all kinds of colors!!

I hope you enjoyed my card today
