I'm Back in Action!

Sorry I haven't posted in soo long! But I'm back in action!! I decided to play along with the Stamping 411 Sketch Challenge today. It's kind of set up to be a "Color Block" style layout, but I decided to keep it simple and go with a Monochromatic look!

And here's the Sketch from Stamping 411.

So I used different sides to the Patterns Designer Paper Stack out of Blush Blossom for the "Color Blocking." And the Super Cool Scallop Circle in white is from the new Perfect Pennants Big Shot Die, available July 1st (and it has 4 other awesome pieces on the same die!).

And for the center focal part I used the single stamp, Tiny Teacup. And, yep, it will still be available in the new catalog. And I used the White Bakers Twine for a little somethin' extra for between the layers!

So here's where I was the last few days - it was kind of a trip that all came together just a few days before I left. And I'm so super glad I got to get away for a few days! This was the view from the room - not too bad, huh? I actually brought part of a stamping project I'm working on for Convention to work on (mostly I did it on the plane). But for the most part, it was nice to get away and enjoy some nice pool and beach weather, a few nice dinners out and some time with my hubby!

Four Squares of Tiny Teacups

Today I decided to try a couple challenges. I made this card for the Create with Connie and Mary Color Challenge and the Stamping 411 Sketch Challenge. I liked it that the sketch and the colors were all chosen, so I just just added a few things and put it together! Sure, just that easy!?! Well, kinda :)

I used the Tiny Teacup stamp, which is a single stamp for $5.95 - what a bargain! The stamp has the teacup and hello below it, but it's easy to stamp each part separately (it has a little space between them).

I added a bitty button with a Pacific Point punch behind it, and of course some linen thread.

For the bow, I knew the tails would be too much, so I made the 'tuck around the back' tails.
