Two awesome nights of Stamp Camp with wonderful friends!!!!

I was so blessed to share two evenings with great friends, old and new! A shout out to Wendy Bachelier for her help on Wednesday night! Thanks to all the ladies- Sandy, Nancy, Rebekah, Mary, Lou, Rose, Pam, Stacey, Diane, Jan, MayAnne, Victoria, Alison, and Angie for making the evening so fun:) I so enjoyed sharing Stampin’ Up with you all!

Here’s my design of the Quint-Essential flower card:

Thanks to fellow demonstrator Linda Heller for her Cannery Gift card Holder:

And Mary Fish for an inspired, heavily CASEd Wonderfall card:

and I can’t forget my wonderful mom, Lou King, who made homemade Elderberry Jelly for everyone!

A Double Challenge…

My first double challenge using Paper Players # 115 and Fab Friday 03. When I noticed the tic-tac-toe involved using an element of 3, I remembered the three banners in Fab Friday’s sketch so I decided to combine them.

PAPER: SU Real Red, SU Brilliant Blue (retired), SU Whisper White
ACCESSORIES: SU Real Red ribbon (retired), random blue/white ribbon

Oh, the colors of fall…

The colors of fall are so bright but also subtle at the same time. ColourQ #156 chose colors with both of these characteristics this week. I used their colors but subbed SU Close to Cocoa for Soft Suede and SU Really Rust for Dusty Durango.
