Polka Dot Cutest Crew ~ GDP551

Hello friends!  Today's card is for Global Design Project Challenge #551: Animal Theme.

I was sorting through all my old designer papers the other day and pulled out the large polka dot pattern and found a smaller polka dot to coordinate.  I also had some Pretty in Pink paper laying out and I decided to pair it with the brand new In Color of Barely Blush.  I know Pretty in Pink is retired, but I just can't let it go yet.  In fact, I don't think I ever will!  It's one of my very favorite pinks and I think it looks pretty fantastic with Barely Blush.  

I also wanted to do something cutsie to go with the fun polka dots, so I pulled out my brand new Cutest Crew.  

Here's a list of my supplies....

Stamps: Cutest Crew, Everyday Arches, Happiest Day

Ink: Memento, Versa Mark; Light & Dark Daffodil Delight, Smokey Slate, Pretty in Pink, and Barely Blush Blends

Paper: Retired DSP (polka dots), Pretty In Pink, Barely Blush, White

Accessories: Glossy Dots, Everyday Arches dies, Cutest Crew dies, White EP

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!

A Toast To Your Retirement! ~ GDP548

I made this fun card for a gal who is retiring from a lifetime of cooking.  She's cooked at hospitals and nursing homes and most recently she was the most awesome cook at our local school.  She's a fun gal and I knew she'd appreciate the puns!

I used the most awesome inspiration in Kim Fee's card from Global Design Project's Case the Designer Challenge.  I love Kim's work.

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!

Congrats Grad ~ HSS488

Hello Friends!  Today's card is for Hand Stamped Sentiments sketch challenge for May.  I'm needing a slug of graduation cards, so that's my theme today.  I pulled out a few older sets to help me complete this one.  I interpreted the sketch a little loosely, but it has all of the same elements.  Instead of placing the three gems along the top, I scattered them around the front. 

Here's a list of my supplies....

Stamps: Pue Gumption, Blue Ribbon, School Days, Notes of Nature

Paper: Black, Strawberry Slush, Daffodil Delight, Beautifully Penned DSP

Ink: Black, Strawberry Slush, Daffodil Delight 

Accessories: Notes of Nature dies, Black &White gingham ribbon, Sparkle Dots, Strawberry Slush Ruffle Trim

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!
