SAH 121 Inspiration Challenge
Hola Amigas. This week the Stamp A Holics have an Inspiration Challenge using the Piet 1 photo above. So what do I see...I see the beautiful frilly pillow, pacific point curtains, tempting turquoise pillow, kraft sofa...and so MUCH more. So here we go...
I think I am going to start with Pacific Point and some coordinating DSP.
Here I started layering...
Remake frilly pillow...
Here I started layering...
Not sure I am feeling this card at all...I tried sentiments...not working...
Covered this cute little bird with DSP...
DEFINITELY wrong DSP pattern...UGH! and of course Mr. Ticker is YELLING at me... Aye Dios Mio...Back to the drawing board...
I think I am going to focus on the pinks I see...I chose Pink Passion.
Started layering...Looks Good! HMM! What stamp set??? Well I already have Wedding Sweet out because of my sister's wedding invites so maybe I can make her a sample Thank You card...
I LIKE the way it came out...It's not a Thank You card but, cool all the same. I colored the ribbon with my Pink Passion marker...I got this idea from Carole'Anne as she is FAMOUS for this...But man was it messy...definately has to be last on your list or you have ink all over your card...RECIPE: ALL STAMPIN UP
Paper: Pacific Point, Whisper White, Pink Passion
Ink: Pink Passion
Stamp: Wedding Sweet
Ribbon: White Organza
Accessories: Chipboard, Scallop Oval punch, Oval punch, ice rhinestone brad, scallop circle punch

SAH 120-Color Challenge
Hola Amigas. How are you? On Friday our StampAHolics team had a color challenge. I tried to post this but I couldnt figure out how to post it under the Royal Blog Tour post. I just want you to know that you won't see Mr. Ticker who NEEDS a NEW NAME. I went over 10 minutes about 20 times over...I originally made this card. It is called a Double Pocket card. But as you see I used the Very Vintage Jumbo Wheel (Occassions Mini 2010) upside down...So my butterfly is taking a plunge. Then I didn't know how to finish it...So on to something else.
So now I am going to use the sketch below. Clean and Simple.
Here we go. I still want to use the Very Vintage Wheel (Occassions Mini 2010). So I am going to use Creamy Caramel to jumbo wheel on Barely Banana and Cameo Coral. I am using my Stampin' Around Wheel Guide. A must have for straight lines when using standard and jumbo wheels.
Next. I want to add Sage Shadow eyelets (retired). I am limited to SU supplies and accessories but you just have to use what you have correctly and you wouldnt know the difference. Here I am using the Paper Piercing template which also has an eyelet template. This is from the Mat Pack. Another GREAT tool to have...It lets you space your piercing and eyelets PERFECTLY!
Then I wasn't sure what image I wanted to use from the NEW Summer Mini set Blissful Bride. So here it is with the bridal gown.
And here it is with the boquet. I like this one the best so I chose the boquet. I colored the bouquet with my blender pens and Barely Banana, Cameo Coral and Sage Shadow markers. I then cut it out and used a Stampin Dimensional. What do you think? Make sure you go to Carole'Anne's blog and upload your Color Challenge.
RECIPE: ALL STAMPIN UPPaper: Creamy Caramel, Cameo Coral, Sage Shadow, Barely Banana, Whisper White
Ink: Creamy Caramel
Stamp Set: Blissful Bride (Summer Mini 2010)
Accessories: Stampin Dimensional, eyelets, Very Vintage Jumbo Wheel

I also received this award from Martha Lu also my friend, SU Hermana and Creator of the monthly Inkspired Blog Hop where Latinas from Calif, Jersey (me) and more showcase their SU artwork...They both had to send this to 12 people and now its my turn...This was WAY too difficult as we ALL love blog hopping and see so many blogs for INSPIRATION!There are responsibilities that come with the award, however, and I have been working on this for the last couple of days. Here are the rules:
1. Put the Sunshine Award on your blog and/or within your post.

5. Share the love and link to the person from whom you received the award.
The hardest part, of course is narrowing it down to just 12 blogs!! Please NOTE that this is not by ANY MEANS my FULL list. If I could I WOULD add TOO MANY more! Also I would DEFINITELY pick the same ladies who picked me but what I am going to try to do is pick ladies who have not received this award yet so that we can spread the SUNSHINE.
Here are my favorites that I am sending the Sunshine Award to:

He didn't outgrew any of them but he did add envioronmental to his list.

It's alot to absorb but Mama is hanging strong as much as I can...Thank my LUCKY stars for STAMPING! Today I am going to share our weekly Challenge. This week it was a sketch and I tried to do it under 10 minutes like the rest of our team and well... 
YIKES! It took me 3 minutes to pick, colors, DSP and stamp. Is that good or bad?
RECIPE: ALL STAMPIN UP
On your mark, get set, STAMP...
YIKES! It took me 3 minutes to pick, colors, DSP and stamp. Is that good or bad?3 minutes LEFT! I think Mr. Ticker is speeding up the time...
ARGH! Mr. Ticker won THIS time! He's MEAN he buzzes and beeps. ANGRY little timer.
What took me SO MUCH time is trying to center my sentiment vertically and horizontally and it you can tell in the pic I highlighted one word in each line with black so it says I'm so proud of you vertically...
This is how much time I went OVER!
FINISHED! Wow! I never thought that trying to center the words would take me FOREVER! What do you think?
