I have been working on a special birthday project for a friend of mine - a Project Life album of a trip we took out west to the Rockies a couple of years ago. This is my first time playing with PL stuff and I am absolutely in love. It is so much fun and so easy to get your scrapbooking done in a more main stream way. I will definitely be doing more of this!!<br>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Hi All,</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This weekend we are busy having a crafting weekend...we started last night and are going into Sunday evening. So very much fun!!! My living room has been transformed into "Craft Central"!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I don't often get time to craft these days but love it so much more when it's with great friends!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'd like to take a minute to thank the gals over at Create with Connie and Mary for choosing my Father's Day card as one of their top 3! Thank you!! You can check out that card <a href="http://stephsshoebox.blogspot.ca/2015/06/happy-fathers-day-dad.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>

<br /></div>

1. <a href="http://colourmecardchallenge.blogspot.ca/2015/07/cmcc78-colour-me-monochromatic.html?m=1" target="_blank">Colour Me...!</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
This week the color theme is Real Red and a neutral. I decided to switch it up a bit and went with Cherry Cobbler as I really wanted to use the Cherry Cobbler embossing powder. I'm sure the ladies won't mind...</div>

It's time for another lovely sketch over at <a href="http://atlanticheartschallenge.blogspot.ca/2015/06/sketch-113.html" target="_blank">Atiantic Hearts Sketch Challenge</a>. I'm not sure about the rest of the Design Team, but this sketch really pushed me outside my comfort zone but I love the result! Make sure you swing by the challenge blog on a Wednesday to check out the rest of the creations by the amazing Design Team, while you are there, why don't you play along with us??<br />

My card this week was made especially for my 80-something year old neighbour who fell last week and broke her hip. So very sad. But she is one feisty lady and I hope this little card helped to brighten her day just a little.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I decided that I would also play along in this week's colour challenge over at <a href="http://colourmecardchallenge.blogspot.ca/2015/06/cmcc76-colour-me-subtle.html" target="_blank">Colour Me...!</a> Such a gorgeous combination - Elegant Eggplabt, Old Olive and Coastal Cabana. I, unfortunately, had to do some swaps so the colour combination that I actually used was Perfect Plum, Mossy Meadow and Lost Lagoon. I know the girls won't mind...</div>

<br />
Tonight I am going out on a limb and hoping that my Dad doesn't look at this blog before Father's Day as tonight I am showcasing his card. :)<br />
<br />
As always, I used a few challenges to gain inspiration:<br />
<br />
1) <a href="http://www.createwithconnieandmary.com/create-with-connie-and-mary/2015/06/ccmc359-sketch-challenge.html" target="_blank">Create with Connie and Mary</a><br />
<br />
I really thought this week's sketch was really fun. I wanted to bring a little something different to the sketch so I decided to use the "happy" as one of the layers. I'm pretty sure the ladies won't mind.<br />
<br />

<br />
Today is a fun day for me - it's my 100th post on my blog! Yay!! To celebrate, I've used this week's sketch from <a href="http://atlanticheartschallenge.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge </a>and one of my favourite stamp sets. Of course, I got my preorder items last week from the new Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue which starts June 2nd and I had to share some of those items.<br />
<br />
Seeing as we've made it to another Monday, that means it's another great sketch from <a href="http://atlanticheartschallenge.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge</a>. Check out the sketch below. Also, make sure you head over to the blog and check out the rest of the Design Team creations on Wednesday. Till then, head over and play along, we would love to have you!!<br />
<br />
Here is the sketch:<br />

I am absolutely in love with the new Bohemian DSP that will be available on June 2nd - the colours are just amazing. They are so rich and bold and so much fun! <br />
<br />
You'll notice that I embossed the sentiment in white on a basic black card stock and then coloured over the embossing using Blendabilities. I am super disappointed that these have been discontinued but I understand when there were problems with quality and it is better to discontinue than have a lot of unhappy customers. I will, however, continue to use mine. I love them!<br />
<br />
This week is "Anything Goes" over at <a href="http://seizethebirthday.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">Seize The Birthday</a>, so I will also be entering this card there as well. <br />

<br />
Wow - 2 posts in one night!! It has been a LONG time since I've had a chance to do that. <br />
<br />
I spent a little time in my craft room again tonight - I hope it becomes more of a habit again soon. There were a couple of challenges that I really wanted to play along with...<br />

This week <a href="http://colourmecardchallenge.blogspot.ca/2015/05/cmcc72-colour-me-subtle.html" target="_blank">Colour Me...! </a>had an interesting colour combination - one that I thought would really push me.<br />

<br />
This weekend I got a chance to actually sit and craft in my new craft room/guest room. So far I am liking the layout and it seems to be working well for me. :) <br />
<br />
There were a ton of challenges out there for inspiration but these are the ones that I was pulled to immediately:<br />
<br />
1. <a href="http://casethissketch.blogspot.ca/2015/05/case-this-sketch-124.html" target="_blank">CASE This Sketch</a><br />
<br />
I really thought this week's sketch over at <a href="http://casethissketch.blogspot.ca/2015/05/case-this-sketch-124.html" target="_blank">CASE This Sketch</a> was awesome - it took me outside of my comfort zone but was definitely fun to play with.<br />

<br />
I got to craft with a lovely friend for a while on Mother's Day and it was so much fun. It has been quite some time since I have had a chance to sit and craft for no good reason other than for pleasure. It was awesome.<br />
<br />
Seeing as we are about to embark on a new Stampin' Up! catalogue, I thought it would be fun to use some of those awesome In Colours that will be retiring at the end of the month one last time. And it just so happened that the team over at <a href="http://fabfridaystampinchallenge.blogspot.ca/2015/05/fab-friday-63.html" target="_blank">Fab Friday</a> are having a challenge to use ANY OR ALL of the In Colours - woohoo!<br />
<br />

Their challenge this week was to use the embossing trend. It's hard to see but I heat embossed my Christmas Bauble using silver embossing powder prior to colouring it in.<br />

I have been away from blogging now for about a month...I had scheduled posts so that I could keep up with my design team duties. But, it's good to be back! The reason I was away so long is that I was moving. I am finally starting to settle in and my craft room is all unpacked. Woohoo!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Today is Monday so that means it's time for another awesome sketch over at <a href="http://atlanticheartschallenge.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge</a>. I encourage you all to drop by on Wednesday to check out the rest of the Design Team creations - these girls are so super talented! Make sure you take some time to play along as well, we'd love to have you!</div>

I'm pretty happy with how this one turned out and even had fun decorating the inside of the card as well. I didn't take a picture of the envelope but it was lined with the same DSP and was decorated using the same stamp sets and colours.<br />

I've been dying to try this stamp set and the accompanying framelits for some time so when my friend finally had them delivered, I knew I had to create something. I'm pretty happy with the results. I love the new Birthday Bash DSP as well and it adds a fun element to the card. I just wish you could see the gold foil embellished balloons better in the picture - they are my favourite part!<br />
<br />
Card Recipe (all products used are Stampin' Up! products unless otherwise indicated):<br />
<br />
Card Stock: Calypso Coral, Night of Navy, Bermuda Bay, Whisper White, Birthday Bash Specialty DSP<br />
Stamp Set: Celebrate Today<br />

Tools/Techniques: Balloon Framelits, Big Shot, Calypso Coral Pom Pom Trim, Bermuda Bay Bakers Twine, Scallop Edge Border Punch<br />

I finally had a chance to try Stampin' Up!'s new Chalkboard paper and inks - to be honest, I was a little disappointed. As you can see, it's really hard to pick out the sentiment on the black chalkboard paper. It's probably because I did something incorrectly and need to practice a few more times to see how it will turn out. I'll try it again soon to see.<br />
<br />
I also had fun with the new Itty Bitty Accents Apoxy Stickers. I used the star punch from the Itty Bitty Punch Pack to punch out Calypso Coral stars to attach to the stickers and give them a fun colour background so they would stand out. Finally, I used the Happy Birthday stamp from the Big Day Stamp Set to create a fun background on the Coastal Cabana card stock.<br />
<br />
Card Recipe (all products used are Stampin' Up! products unless otherwise indicated):<br />
<br />
Card Stock: Calypso Coral, Coastal Cabana, Chalkboard Paper<br />
Stamp Sets: Big Day<br />
Inks: Coastal Cabana, Aquamarine Colorbox Chalk Ink<br />
Tools/Techniques: Itty Bitty Accents Apoxy Stickers, Best Year Ever Accessory Pack - 1/4" Polyester Ribbon - Calypso Coral<br />

Well, it's Monday again. Did you make it through the weekend? <br />

I encourage you all to head over the the blog and check out the other Design Team members creations. They will be posted on Wednesday and are awesome! Please also take some time to play along, we would love to have you! :)<br />
<br />
This week I decided that I wanted to CASE one of my good friend's creations. I loved her idea and knew that I had to do something with my spin on it. I am CASE-ing my friend Hayley over at <a href="http://hayleyspapergarden.blogspot.ca/2015/03/as-time-and-memory.html" target="_blank">Hayley's Paper Garden</a> this week and here is her original card:<br />

I loved how she embossed all of the flowers with different colours and then fussy cut them all out - I had to do the same and it was such fun.<br />

<br />
I love the colours that are used in the DSP from Stampin' Up!'s Sale-a-bration catalogue - they are just so fun and cheery! I also fussy cut the balloons and sentiments - I don't often like to fussy cut but it was worth it for this look. I also used a strip from the Birthday Bash Specialty DSP in the Occasions Catalogue - I love these sheets as they have flecks of gold foil in them although it is hard to see in the pictures. It just adds such a lovely effect to the card.<br />
<br />
As always, I'm playing along with a few challenges to get the mojo going.<br />
<br />
1. <a href="http://justusgirlschallenge.blogspot.ca/2015/03/just-us-girls-284-trend-week.html" target="_blank">Just Us Girls</a><br />
<br />
This week is a trend week over at <a href="http://justusgirlschallenge.blogspot.ca/2015/03/just-us-girls-284-trend-week.html" target="_blank">Just Us Girls </a>and they are looking for "Splatters". I chose to use this splattered DSP as the background for my card.<br />

The photo reminded me of a birthday party setup and I used some of the colours from the photo as well in my card.<br />

<br />
I chose not to use the toppings option this week at <a href="http://seizethebirthday.blogspot.ca/2015/03/focus-on-sentiment.html" target="_blank">Seize the Birthday</a> but rather to go with the Anything Goes option. I love that they have the Anything Goes option each week and it gives a great opportunity to build up your Birthday stash any way you like.<br />

<br />
Happy Monday! I do hope you all had a fantastic weekend - I did. Movie and dinner with some lovely friends on Friday, wine and a book on Saturday and crafting with a wonderful friend on Sunday night - I don't think it gets much better.<br />
<br />
During crafting last night, I decided to get inspired by some fun and fantastic challenges - I know, I know, big surprise!!<br />
<br />
Here are the challenges I will be playing along with:<br />
<br />
1. <a href="http://stampincelebrationblog.blogspot.ca/2015/03/sc99-its-sketch-time.html" target="_blank">Stampin' Celebration</a><br />
<br />
I have been wanting to use the Adventure Awaits stamp set for some time now and the sketch from <a href="http://stampincelebrationblog.blogspot.ca/2015/03/sc99-its-sketch-time.html" target="_blank">Stampin' Celebration </a>this week was a great one that would be wonderful to showcase the stamps. So very fun.<br />
<br />

<br />
2. <a href="http://colorthrowdown.blogspot.ca/2015/03/color-throwdown-332-countdown.html" target="_blank">Color Throwdown</a><br />
<br />
I loved this week's colours for the <a href="http://colorthrowdown.blogspot.ca/2015/03/color-throwdown-332-countdown.html" target="_blank">Color Throwdown</a>. I interpreted them to be Coastal Cabana, Night of Navy, Crumb Cake and Real Red and thought they would be perfect for a nautical themed card.<br />
<br />

3. <a href="http://justusgirlschallenge.blogspot.ca/2015/03/just-us-girls-283-word-week.html" target="_blank">Just Us Girls</a><br />
<br />
This week is word week over at <a href="http://justusgirlschallenge.blogspot.ca/2015/03/just-us-girls-283-word-week.html" target="_blank">Just Us Girls</a> and the word is "masculine". I thought it would be fun to add to my guy card stash and for once, create a card that wasn't a birthday card that screamed masculine. I think the colour combination and nautical theme works here.<br />
<br />

<br />
I love having a chance to try new techniques or ones that I don't use that often. This week over at <a href="http://stampinroyalty.blogspot.ca/2015/03/stampin-royalty-challenge-269.html" target="_blank">Stampin' Royalty</a> the technique to be used is embossing. I both wet embossed the stamped image on the Adventure Bound DSP stack and dry embossed on the Real Red accents.<br />

<br />
So I don't know about you but ever since I saw the Treat Bag Framelits in the Stampin' Up! Occasions catalogue, I have been dying to use them! This past weekend we had a surprise party for a friend's 50th birthday so I thought it was time to break out the treat bag and have a little fun.<br />
<br />
Here is what I created:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOoGWs6zE2dLI-eBVTt6FCN_zWQdO1p1EBn6nFhArB-mrw1HY5kdYsEE8Hf0THAtWYGJ-gf3zTg3cE6D0Mxj5BraDO0Eb23wZQ3lAIH5wpcL4mqyYjJG4VE_zOWXUxS0Ibi4oXOlb97t4/s1600/20150228_011911.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOoGWs6zE2dLI-eBVTt6FCN_zWQdO1p1EBn6nFhArB-mrw1HY5kdYsEE8Hf0THAtWYGJ-gf3zTg3cE6D0Mxj5BraDO0Eb23wZQ3lAIH5wpcL4mqyYjJG4VE_zOWXUxS0Ibi4oXOlb97t4/s1600/20150228_011911.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-QdJlwLH5_q92YJ50KLO3MT2N_hVHdTCvXbkuuK6Qrmdwotd9Rd13Tz7sZOjkj5Pty0IQ61zuUclZOncgpjMVvHv6Lw3CXzdy9DiD4zJkQ6V2Z4nX1hFOk9KrrdKrc-Jngp1BTGSie3I/s1600/20150228_011949.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-QdJlwLH5_q92YJ50KLO3MT2N_hVHdTCvXbkuuK6Qrmdwotd9Rd13Tz7sZOjkj5Pty0IQ61zuUclZOncgpjMVvHv6Lw3CXzdy9DiD4zJkQ6V2Z4nX1hFOk9KrrdKrc-Jngp1BTGSie3I/s1600/20150228_011949.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
In the treat bag I put a little note card in Blushing Bride and Whisper White card stock with a "Happy Birthday" sentiment but I forgot to actually take a snap of that...oops! In order to let the "celebrate" portion of the sentiment pop more, I embossed it using Blushing Bride embossing powder and fussy cut the banner out. I think it adds a little more depth to the creation.<br />
<br />
As per normal, I was inspired by the following challenges:<br />
<br />
1. <a href="http://www.createwithconnieandmary.com/create-with-connie-and-mary/2015/02/ccmc344-color-challenge.html" target="_blank">Create with Connie & Mary</a><br />
<br />
I was just in love with this week's colour challenge - Rose Red (this is fast becoming one of my favourite colours!), Blushing Bride and Blackberry Bliss (another of my favourites!). How could I not play along?!?!<br />
<br />
