Fab Friday 165

Hi stampers!  Happy Friday!  It's time for a new challenge over at Fab Friday!  We have a sketch for you this round!

I went simple with this one and I'm not sad about it!  I chose to use the Come Sail Away Memories & More Card Pack.  One Father's Day card out of the four I need, done :-)

I did just a little stamping with the Artisan Textures background set, I really love that one.  I also added some ink splatters with Soft Suede.  The little rope die cut was perfect instead of a scallop and way more manly, right?

And funny side note, my aunt and uncle who live in Indiana had this wallpaper in their bathroom that looked like old newsprint and this card totally reminds me of that LOL!

I just love how versatile these cards are.  Wanna scrapbook?  Great!  Wanna make some quick cards? Great!

Now make sure to check out what the rest of the team did and play along with us!

Happy stamping!

Storms Of Life

Hi stampers!  The title of my post is basically the theme for this week weather wise here in Tulsa.  I love spring but I hate storms!  And I really dislike dreary days when they just keep goooooiiiinnnnggggg.  If things continue like this like they are supposed to, I won't have any light to take photos all week.

Anyway, I'm sharing a make and take from OnStage today.  They actually didn't have the dies at the event so I waited until I got home and got my order to finish this card, which I did over the weekend.

This suite really isn't super "me" but the samples on the cover of the catalog and the suite's page inside did me in!  I figured it was a good masculine set to have as well.

This sample is notecard size.  The background is watercolored in Balmy Blue, I think.  I've slept since the event, ha!  I really like the dies that come with this bundle!  It's the Come Sail Away Suite in case I didn't mention it,  I can't add most of this to the supply list so I'll do a little bullet list here:

• Sailing Home Bundle (Sailing Home Stamp Set & Smooth Sailing Dies)
• Come Sail Away DSP
• Baker's Twine (Night of Navy and Sahara Sand)
• Sail Away Trinkets
• Watercolor Paper
• Whisper White Cardstock
• Crumb Cake Cardstock
• Soft Suede Cardstock
• Balmy Blue Cardstock
• Night Of Navy Inkpad
• Soft Suede Inkpad
• Balmy Blue Inkpad 

I love the stitched accents in some of these dies!  And this DSP is gorgeous!  I really don't think this card does it justice!  Some of the colors and prints are just so pretty!

Happy stamping!
