I've discovered my prime time for creating - 12 AM to 2 AM. Yep, I stayed up LATE last night and got my stampin' groove on. It was fun to participate in a few challenges. I CASEd a couple of layouts from the new Paper Crafts Card Creations - Favorite Occasions mag, but I think I really made them my own. :)
Okay, so this first card is actually for the Pals Paper Arts sketch challenge this week. Very interesting sketch - I kept it very clean and simple and like how it turned out. The stamp is from the Unity December Kit of the Month. (Oh how I love new stamps!)
This card was inspired by Latisha Yoast on page 21 of the magazine I mentioned earlier. I like to think I made it my own! :) I was attempting the Pacific Point and Razzleberry and Kraft color combo, tried just the Razzleberry and white combo, and then added in the black. It was quite the process for such a simple card. So my stamping style - making things more complicated than they need to be! LOL! Kind of fun to see the old Buds & Blossoms set, isn't it? I *ADORED* this set when it came out and just had to keep it around for the memories. It was fun to put it to use!
More Unity KOTM love! :) This was for the Play Date Cafe color challenge. They said wine, bright blue, and beige and I interpreted it as Razzleberry, Pacific Point, and Kraft! :) This was inspired by that same layout as the cards above.
Last but not least, this card is for the Colour Create Challenge. It's hard just using two colors, especially when one is white! This uses the grid from the Unity Dec. KOTM. LOVE it! Die cut a butterfly from the SU! die from vellum (I had to get another kind of paper in there!) and then colored it with the Razzleberry ink pad. I did have to wait for it to dry over night. This is CASEd from Ellie Augustin's card on pg 83 of the PC mag.
I had so much fun creating last night. Totally hit my creative groove with these colors and the Unity Kit. I only wish I could stay up that late and not be tired the next day! (As I write this, I actually feel like I need to take a nap!)
I will be spending the next few days at my mom's house. I wish I could figure out a way to transport some stamping stuff over there, so I can still feel like I'm getting my fix! LOL
My family is coming with me to my church tonight for the Christmas Eve service. I am really excited - I think that will be the best Christmas present of all! :) I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas!
