Love Big: For FMS #186

Hello Stamping Friends,

Back with a new card for you today based on the very clean and fresh sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches.  

This layout and wide open sketch just screamed "designer series paper!" to me, so I pulled out this pretty piece from the Stampin' Up! retiring pack called Park Lane.  I liked how it set an elegant tone for the card and yet had those little dots of bright Melon Mambo as well, so I played on that fun combination for  today's card.  

I hope you enjoy and find some creative inspiration this week!

happy stampin'

Good Monday, Stampers!

I'm back from the craft show last weekend, and for it being my very first one, I can say I'm pleased with the outcome.  I learned so much and had so, so much fun.  ;)  So, today I'm back in my creative place and created a card highlighting two challenges.  A sketch challenge from Freshly Made Sketches and a color challenge from the folks over at The Paper Players.  My very favorite tool, The Stampin' Up! Big Shot makes this is a very quick and easy card.  The large focal shape is the star of this card.   Hope you get some creative time this week.  

Happy Stamping,

barb
