The Play Date Cafe and Pals Paper Arts
Tuesday is here and I wanted to share I card I made for a couple of challenges. I used some Echo Park Designer Paper called "Be Mine". The flower is the Prima Donna Petals dienamics die from My Favourite Things.
The sentiment is from a retired set from Stampin' Up called "Something to Celebrate". I used the SU! Bird Punch to create the leaves. I sponged the flowers with some Pink Ink, to add some depth to it. I hope you have a great week, thank you so much for stopping by!

Merry Monday Challenge #8
Welcome to another week at Merry Monday! The idea behind this challenge is to get a head start on your Christmas cards! Each week, I choose one Merry Monday Winner who will then be a future Guest Designer for the challenge! So get out your Christmas supplies and let's get to work!
This week's sketch is another simple sketch that you are welcome to
jazz up or to keep clean. Have fun with it...flip it, change the oval shape, or
move the sentiment anywhere on your card...as long as the main sketch is still visible.
My Featured Designer for February is Torico. She has created a very pretty card and her background was created with a stamp! Be sure to visit her blog for the information on how she created it.

Merry Monday Challenge #7 Winner
Another week has come and gone, thank you to everyone who joined me for last week's Merry Monday Sketch Challenge. I looked through all of the cards and the one card that I just adored, was beautifully coloured and had such fun, pretty colours for Christmas.
The Winner of Sketch #7 is:
LeAnne Pugliese
I thought LeAnne's card was absolutely adorable! Isn't that sweet snowman cute, all bundled up and looking for a warm winter kiss? I also loved the combination of papers she used and the pretty shading behind her image. The glitter on the snowman's hat was the perfect finishing touch!
Congratulations LeAnne, you are this week's winner at Merry Monday. I hope you will join me as a Guest Designer on Monday, February 27th.
Tomorrow I am back with another simple sketch. Torico and Guest Designer Sherry have created amazing cards!!! I hope you will join us in our mission to get our Christmas cards started and almost finished in time for December 2012!

CAS Balloons for Three Challenges
I have been dabbling in clean and simple cards, trying to add "less" but sometimes I find myself wanting to add more! I used the colours from the Colour Q, the sketch from Cardabilities and the CAS-ual Fridays Challenge to create a party card with Ribbon.
Supplies Used:
Stamps: Celebrate from AMUSE
Inks: Basic Black
Paper: Tempting Turquoise, Real Red and Pretty in Pink, White
Extras: Word Window Punch, the Large Oval Punch and the 1 1/4" Circle Punch,
Baker's Twine, 1/8" Vanilla Grosgrain
The ribbon is in Very Vanilla and the bow is tied with my stash of Baker's Twine, taken from the photo inspiration at Colour Q. The balloons were created with my Word Window Punch, the Large Oval Punch and the 1 1/4" Circle Punch, all from SU! I decided to round the bottom corner of my card for some interest.

Freshly Made Sketches #22-A Sketch by Jennifer Timko
Wednesday is here and another sketch at Freshly Made Sketches! This week the talented and lovely Jennifer Timko is our hostess with the mostess and she has come up with a great sketch that can be blinged up or left clean and simple!
I decided to ink up an old favourite of mine, "Because I Care" from Stampin' Up. It was a hostess set and I loved it SO much! I also used the script stamp from "French Foliage" and the sentiment is from "My Friend". This card was inspired by two challenges, the colours at CR84FN and the Our Creative Corner Challenge which is the theme "Best Friend" and it must include a floral image. In order to achieve the two-toned look on my flower, I inked it with my Stampin' Write Markers.
Supplies Used:
Stamps: All SU!- Because I Care, My Friend, French Foliage
Inks: Lavender Lace, Old Olive, Basic Gray
Papers: Whisper White, Old Olive Marker, Lavender Lace Marker, Basic Gray for Sentiment
Tools: Crimper, Big Shot, Striped Embossing Folder (Sizzix)
We hope that you will join Freshly Made Sketches this week! Please be sure to visit the other DT Members to see their wonderful creations!
