Dynamic Duos #5-{The Sky's the Limit}

Saturday is here and that means a brand new challenge at Dynamic Duos! This week our colours are happy and vibrant! We are in the first week of the month and so that means bold and sassy!

I decided to create something clean and pretty simple, using my colours for the Hot Air Balloon set called "Up and Away"!  I also used some In Colour designer paper in Island Indigo and my circle punches for the sentiment.

I hope you have the chance to join us this week at Dynamic Duos ! The design team has really created some gorgeous projects! I was blown away by their efforts! Hard to believe that we are already one month into our challenge! WOW!

CAS Kites for Three Challenges {Up in the Air Over You}

Just a quick post today!!  I wanted to try some of the fun challenges out there I always seem to miss!  We have a big weekend ahead so it was nice to create a CAS for fun! This card was very easy to make. I am trying hard to create CAS but it is a challenge for sure. I love the look of a white card base but I do not know what paper is the best for that CAS white base look. Any suggestions?

Stamps: Hero Arts {Right at Home} and SU! {Up, Up and Away}

Papers: SU! Bold Pattern Paper, Daffodil Delight, Tempting Turquoise and Pacific Point

Inks: Basic Black, Tempting Turquoise, Pacific Point Marker for the hearts in the sentiment

Extras: Baker's Twine, Heart on the kite came from the Owl Punch

This card was created for the following challenges:

Stampin' Queens Sketch Challenge-I flipped the sketch on its side

The Play Date Cafe-the colours (I tried to match them the closest I could)

CAS-ual Fridays-Paper Piecing-I paper pieced the kites

Paper Players #60-CAS Sketch and Colours from Create with Connie and Mary

Sunday is here and that means it is time for another challenge from the Paper Players!  This week my dear friend LeAnne is the hostess and she has created an awesome sketch for us to try!  I love the clean lines to this sketch and love that she chose three images for the main focal point.

I needed some inspiration as to which set to pick!  I thought snowflakes, owls, cupcakes, buttons but then I was visiting Nance Leedy's blog and saw the current Create with Connie and Mary Colour Challenge which was to use Pacific Point, Tangerine Tango and So Saffron.  FUN!!  With those bright colours came the idea to use the Up, Up and Away stamp set. 

We hope that you will join the Paper Players Challenge this week!  Please be sure to visit the other DT Members to see their wonderful creations!

Friday Mashup #18-True Love Sparkles and Shines and Our Creative Corner

The wonderful and fun Lisa has chosen an awesome challenge for us all this week!!!  This week at the Friday Mashup, we are celebrating True Love!  I just love the sweet photo attached to this week's graphic! 

So, here's the "Mash Up!" challenge:

1. Create a project using "Glitter". (No glitter for me this week!)

2. Create a project for an "Anniversary" .

3. Or "Mash it Up!" and create an "Anniversary project using Glitter" ! 

I also created this card using the fun colours over at Our Creative Corner.  Here is the inspiration graphic for their challenge.  I went for a clean and simple card!

I decided to create an Anniversary card for my Hubby!  Our Anniversary is not until March!  I hope I don't lose it or forget about it!!!  LOL!  I inked up my new set called "Up, Up and Away" which is a darling set that I need to play with a little more!  I went with the polka dot balloons to match my polka dot DSP.  I used Real Red and the new In Colour called "Pool Party".

Please stop on by the Friday Mashup and join us this week for our challenge!  And don't forget to check out the OCC challenge too!
