This is my second post today, so scroll down to see my Featured Stamper Challenge card!
What a fabulous stamping weekend I had! I got my Weekend Sketch Set done, the Featured Stamper challenge, and I even eeked out a few other cards that I'll save for those days when I don't get time to stamp something for the blog. I always try to use a current Stampin' Up! set that I haven't used in a Weekend Sketch Set before. I still have a few sets that qualify under these stringent guidelines I go by, but I'm thinking a shopping spree would also be in order, just so I don't have to stress! Oh and by the way, these are almost all SU! I did use nestabilities and gems on one, but otherwise it's SUO!
Best Wishes and More is a perfect reason why I love doing the sketch sets. I didn't buy this set because it didn't really appeal to me; I rec'd it at the Edmonton regionals. However, now that I've used it and got a little creative with it, I really like it! The sentiments are fun with their wavy-ness and the images are really cute! Here they are individually.
This set actually got it's start with the SCS Sketch Challenge 241. I really liked this sketch, and did another one I'll share another day. I pulled out the retired Georgia Peaches designer paper which I loved so much, and this set almost fell together on it's own. I'll spare you the verbage on the details, but you know if you have any questions you can pop me an email.
Here's my take on Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge. I am not sure if the sentiment is for a wedding or engagement, but I figured hearts were in order! Actually, being all pink and pretty it would probably work for a baby too!
Taylor's Sketch Challenge was perfect for snowflakes, and some of you may know my particular fancy for pink and green as Christmas colours! I think the polka dots and random floating starburst images in the background work well with snow flakes. I found some pink fluffy fiber for the tag, and we all know that snowflakes sparkle and shine, so I'm well justified in adding a little bling to each centre!
And last but not least is my take on Amy's Friday Sketch. I decided to lose some of the pink and work with the So Saffron and Old Olive. I tied Old Olive grosgrain ribbon around the lower panel, and buttons were my embellishment choice. I added the sentiment up in the right corner as per the sketch, but now that I see the position of the bird, I think I should have put it lower so it might be interpreted that he was singing it!
And there you have it. I am really pleased with this set and also that I finally inked up Best Wishes and More with success!
