HSC22 - A Fresh Color Challenge

I had so much fun stamping some cards for the next 24 hours. I am so excited for the big release tonight and for the PJ Party in the Hanna Stamps Forum. If you have never been before -- come on over to the forum on Splitcoaststampers and join in on the thread that says PJ Party and you will get to chat and have fun with us and do all sorts of fun challenges (one every hour from 7 pm - Midnight EST) and just giggle and have fun!

This card is for the color challenge that I was responsible for hostessing today... I chose barely banana, sahara sand (vanilla, or Prism Tawny light), bashful blue, certainly celery, and close to cocoa OR chocolate chip. Lots of choices to make it really, really EASY! I thought Riley in a blue suit at his wedding would be stylin' -- so here he is! I think they make the perfect couple. I was really pleased with how this color combination turned out! What do you think???

Stamps: Wedding Riley & Sophie, SU Fancy Flexible Phrases Paper: Prism Tawny Light, SU certainly celery, whisper white, bashful blue DP {SU!}, banana yellow DP - American Crafts { A La Carte - Asagio} Ink: Versafine Onyx Black Accessories: Dew Drops, Sewing Machine, white thread, certainly celery striped ribbon, diamond stickles (on the veil and dress), Prismacolor Pencils, blending stumps, sansodor.

HANNA PREVIEW: For the Soul

This set is totally cool! I have not seen anything like it! I think it is perfect for a sympathy card, a thinking of you, a little hand out at church, maybe even for cards at Easter (thinking ahead here) etc. It is so CUTE! Hanna looks so angelic and well, to be completely honest, reminds me of my little sister (not sure why). I used the sketch at Card Positioning Systems (#83) for the layout. I was going for a "touched by an angel" look on the main image (and I think I kind of created that.) I used vellum to overlay the image to give it that glossy fuzz (soft focus). Stamps : For the Soul (Hanna Stamps), "God Bless" sentiment by American Art Stamp Paper: Lily Kate - Basic Grey, Neenah Solar White, SU vellum card stock, SU Whisper White Ink : Onyx Black Versafine Accessories : Sheer 5/8th Inch organdy ribbon, Nestabilities (Circle and scalloped circle), sewing machine, white thread, circle of plastic canvas, copic markers, white brads, paper piercing ...

Pinecone Balls Revisited

So lately I have been noticing that a lot of the traffic to my blog has been to the tutorial on how to make the pinecone balls that I put together about a year ago. SO, due to the increase in popularity, I thought I would get rid of some of my extra supplies on hand (because I made some already this year again and my fingers are sore enough) -- I have decided to giveaway a kit that contains enough supplies to make three balls. It features some great papers and ribbon and will be similar to the ones you may have seen at orientaltrading.com . I know it is not a huge giveaway, but I thought it would be fun! To enter, tell me what your favorite Christmas tradition is in the comments section of this post. I will draw a random winner on December 1st , so enter today!!! UPDATED: We have a WINNER -- Post number 44 was chosen using the random number generator and the winner is *drum roll please* Rosella said... WOW! I'd love to make some of these beautiful pinecones! I think my fa...
