Call me loco - I've played for two weeks running in the Splitcoast sketch challenge. I guess I'm just a wild & crazy gal, huh? No telling what sort of shenanigans I'll get into next...
Here was this week's sketch:
And here's what I made with it, using the HAPPY HARBOR set from my dear buddy, Jen del Muro's new stamp company, REVERSE CONFETTI:
I knew from the first minute I saw this set, I wanted to make a preppy little something with that cute whale image, and what's preppier than a repeating whale motif in pink and green? Nuttin', honey! I love the fonts Jen's selected for all of her stamp sets.
I also love that i {heart} papers carries all of the REVERSE CONFETTI sets so that with one card, I can create a three-fer:
- participate in a sketch-challenge
- get design team credit
- support a great friend's business endeavor
If that ain't a win-win, then I, dear friends, am a monkey's uncle. And considering the fact that I'm fairly certain I'm 100% female, well, that's just impossible.
So, what have you got up your sleeves this fine weekend? I've promised to take Carter to see a matinee of 'Man of Steel' this afternoon, but I have to confess, I'm dreading it. I love superhero movies, but I've heard this one is about 30 minutes longer than it needs to be. Gah. Have you seen it yet? What did you think? I'll give you my thoughts in the morrow.
Supplies used from i {heart} papers:
Happy Harbor stamp set by Reverse Confetti Design Co.; Momento Cottage Ivy ink; Ultra Smooth White Card Stock by Crafter's Companion; Dimensional Dots
Other supplies: Regal Rose (SU!) and New Leaf (PTI) cardstock; Oval & Scallop Oval Nestabilities (Spellbinders); Corner Chomper; Strano ribbon
This card is "so you!" Love the preppy palette and cute design! Hugs-Jd
