Treehouse Thursday Challenge - #001

A new blog launched it's first challenge this week. The site is called Treehouse and it will set a different colour challenge each week on a Thursday.

This week's colours are :
Baja Breeze
Chocolate Chip
White / Vanilla

As I'm in the UK and Baja Breeze is not available here, I have substituted Tempting Turquoise :o)

I have also used last week's challenge sketch from Stamps And Smiles - I've been meaning to do this one all week, better late than never eh? :o) Again, this sketch appeals because of it's simplicity.

All the products are Stampin' UP! except the image stamp and the large flower punch used.

Cardstock ........ Whisper White, Chocolate Chip, Tempting Turquoise
Pattern Paper .... DSP Rainbow Sherbet
Stamp Set ........ Sugar Nellie - Gorjuss Girl V2, Very Versatile (for sentiment)
Ink .............. Chocolate Chip
Punches .......... EK Success Retro Flower, Boho Blossom
Other Products ... Flat Backed Pearls from Pretties Kit

Stamps And Smiles - #8 Challenge

I loved using the sketch from Stamps and Smiles this week! So much so ... I did two cards straight off :)

For the boys card I used 'Rock Star' Luca from Sugar Nellie. Bazzill cardstock. The papers are all from The Paper Loft - 'Well Worn' collection. The sentiment and mats are created using Stampin' UP! products.

I used one of my Miss Anya's from The Greeting Farm for the girls card. Bazzill cardstock again and papers from Cosmo Cricket - 'Storytime' collection. The sentiment is the same one from Stampin' UP! (Very Versitile set) and the mats have been created using the new oval punches .. again from Stampin' UP!.

I like both of these cards. The sketch was very easy to use and I will definitely use this one again :)

Stamps And Smiles - #7 Challenge

For this week's Stamps And Smiles challenge, I have used another of my Gorjuss Girls. The sentiment was created using Stampin' UP! Oval punches (from the mini catalogue). The ribbon and cardstock are also Stampin' UP! All the papers are from The Laundry Line collection from My Minds Eye.

Stamps and Smiles - #6 Challenge

I couldn't decide which of these two cards I like best .... so had to show you them both :) I know they are very similar ... what does it matter really? BUT I couldn't make myself leave one out! ...... I think I'm going crazy!!!!!

Anyway .... I have used a new sketch challenge site today - Stamps and Smiles. I needed to make a couple of 'boy' cards and the sketch looked good for these. All the papers used are from K&Company - Wild Saffron range. The sentiment is Stampin' UP! and the fab stamp image is 'Rockstar' Luca - from Sugar Nellie. He was absolutely brilliant to colour - using Promarkers - hence I now have a pile of him ready to mount up and make into more cards! :)
