Hello! Today I’m getting my As You See It Challenge card posted! A few days late but I’m getting closer to getting back on schedule! This one was tricky as Stampin’ Up! has retired our edgelits and edge punches so I had several ideas swirling around on how to create the “ruffled” look. Check out the other Design Team gals’ creations at the As You See It Challenge Blog HERE! Check out Amy’s use of the fringe scissors…she’s a total genius! As for me, I ended up using the Envelope Punch Board to make my zig zag/ric rac look. Watch for a video on that coming soon!
I also combined the sketch challenge from AYSI with the Color Throwdown Challenge for this week! I LOVE the color combination here – I normally never do browns with blacks or greys so this really was a challenge for me! A tricky detail to see is the white sequins I’ve used to really draw the eye to the sentiment. I’m obsessed with these Greetings Thinlits Dies! They are fantastic – wonderful size and great font!

Hi there! I’m back with my favorite stamp set, Balloon Celebration, from the Occasions Catalog! It’s live now and I couldn’t be more thrilled!!! Love this catalog! If you want to see another sample with it, subscribe to my newsletter. (Over there on the right —> )
I’m loving this sketch as well. It’s last Friday’s challenge from over at As You See It!!! I had it done by Friday but have been sick for over a week so I didn’t get the photos edited and the post written. I apologize for that!
My sweet baby girl also turned one so be on the lookout for a series of the party themed paper crafty things I made for her party! 🙂
The star of this card? The Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush Pen! I’m obsessed with it! I colored over every balloon with it and it is just gorgeous in real life!
