The Paper Players Challenge #151

Just the name of the blog grabbed my attention. The Paper Players. Sounds like a challenge to me!

I stumbled across this blog today on Pinterest. Good ole' Pinterest. I can always count on it for inspiration. This looks like a really fun blog with wonderful challenges. I'm bound and determined to overwhelm myself with as many challenges as possible. I feel like it's the only way I can come up with new stuff. I need a little {push} in the right direction.

Here is the sketch for challenge #151. I will definitely be doing this one. I already have so many ideas in my head.

So... Here is what I came up with. My original idea was already used as an example. Yes, I thought of it before I saw their card. Darn it! I think plan B worked well though! 

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Fan Fair DSP, Very Vanilla, Sahara Sand

Ink ~ Island Indigo, Summer Starfruit, Not Quite Navy, Crumb Cake

Stamp Sets ~ From My Heart

Other Supplies ~ Comfort Cafe designer fabric, Sizzlits large paper doily, basic grey ribbon, basic pearl jewels

Mojo Monday challenge #295

Happy Memorial Day! This weekend has been pretty low key. We had a bit of a family emergency last week, so we took advantage of the long weekend to rest up. Everything and everyone is back on the mend. I desperately needed some alone time, so I locked myself in my craft cave. Here is Mojo Monday's challenge for the week.

Here is what I came up with. I needed some extra Thank you cards, and this was the perfect sketch. I decided to use my Stippled Blossoms set for the first time. I also used vellum for the first time too. I think it turned out great! It was exactly what I had pictured in my head. LOVE it when that happens!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Marina Mist, Very Vanilla

Ink ~ Bashful Blue (retired), Marina Mist, Certainly Celery, Old Olive, Stayz on Black

Stamp Sets ~ Stippled Blossoms, From my Heart

Other Supplies ~ Vellum, Designer Fabric Beau Chateau, Designer Builder Brads, Crochet Ribbon
