60th Birthday Card
Since we abandoned our long weekend plans to go camping due to rain, I have some time on my hands to post some of the cards I've made since my last update. This is a card that I made for my sister's birthday in April. I can't claim any creative rights as it is basically a direct CASE of this card I found on Jan's Creative Corner, and it uses one of my favourite framelits sets (ever!) Botanical Builders. I am happy to confirm that this set and coordinating stamps have carried over to the new 2016-2017 Stampin' Up Annual Catalogue. Other supplies are listed below (the patterned vellum and black & white DSP are both retired).

Botanical Birthday for FMS 226
Today I am super excited! My entry in Freshly Made Sketches challenge 225 was chosen as a Princess of Clean!!! (not the winner but a special mention) So nice to receive encouragement from an independent source (because you know your friends & family are kind of biased right?!). You can see my card along with the Queen and other Princess's creations by clicking here! The sketch is a great clean and simple layout that has so many possibilities.
I am really enjoying playing along with on-line challenges. I used to spend a lot of time looking at pieces of paper and stamped images trying to work out how to put something together then giving up and CASEing something from my Pinterest collection almost exactly. Starting with a sketch has given me a different approach and way of looking at my supplies. I also usually set myself some sort of secondary challenges as well (use DSP or colours that are not in my usual palette - for me both very challenging, or use a stamp set that hasn't seen ink yet (we all have those don't we??) or an old favourite that's been neglected for a while). I do still occasionally CASE some designs that I love but I like to think I am wasting less time 'pinning' :)
So today's card is for Freshly Made Sketches challenge #226. It's a simple but super versatile layout. I also decided that it would be a good sketch to try using a piece of DSP. Here is the sketch and my take on it:
Thanks for stopping by!

Botanical Blooms Birthday
So I bet you can't guess what my favourite product suite from the new Occasions Catalogue is? Yep, it's Botanical Gardens. I especially love the framelits. I was finding the colours of the DSP a little challenging to work with so went back to an old favourite - Melon Mambo. I made this for The Challenge #55 (a sketch) at Always Playing With Paper. It didn't quite come together as I had pictured but it has some of the components - I think I might have been closer if I had used a different sized card (maybe square?). I used a piece if the Botanical Gardens designer vellum which is one of the SAB choices - designed to coordinate with the Botanical Gardens DSP but it's great on it's own.
