Dynamic Duos and Retrosketches

Those two challenges are like their own Dynamic Duo. I love putting the two together! This time I added in the challenge from Our Creative Corner: add denim to your project. So here's what I came up with:

Since denim is normally blue, and the colors for Dynamic Duos are pink and green, I realized it wouldn't work!! So I found some black denim and used that. I really like the texture it gives.

Materials used:
Paper: Sweet Leaf, White Daisy cardstock
Stamps: Words of Comfort
Ink: Blush, Black
Other: Sweet Leaf Rhinestones, black denim (not CTMH), Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge

White card

I made this card for four challenges. I really liked the idea at Crazy4Challenges to make an all white card. You are allowed a pop of color in your image. I chose the colors from the CR84FN Color Challenge. The sketch is from the Sweet Stop and I made a sympathy card for Heart2Heart. I really love this new stamp set, Words of Comfort.

Challenges:
CR84FN Color Challenge
The Sweet Stop
Crazy4Challenges - All white card
Heart2Heart - Sympathy card

Materials used:
Paper: White Daisy Cardstock
Stamps: Words of Comfort
Ink: Gypsy, Pacifica, Topiary
Other: White Grosgrain Ribbon

Coloring trial

I haven't made a card for my favorite challenges in a while, and it's high time I get back to it! I am looking forward to getting CTMH's NEW alcohol-based markers, but in the meantime, I'm using some of the retired water-based ones. That way I'll be even more impressed by how well they do. This will be one of my first times using the retired markers. I just got them about a month ago.

Here's my card:

I made this card for these challenges:
A Day for Daisies - Fabric or Fibers
The Play Date Cafe - Pink Carnation, Orange Sherbet, Lemonade
Cas-ual Fridays - Square Card
Deconstructed Sketch




I did get 1 set of our alcohol markers at convention. It was Cotton Candy, so all the pink coloring is with those. The rest of it is with the water markers. As you can see, although the colors are rich and the markers are good quality, you can see the lines from the coloring. And if you make more than 2 layers, the paper will start to tear. That doesn't happen with the new ones! I'm really looking forward to them!

Materials used:
Paper: White Daisy, Buttercup, and Sunset cardstock
Stamps: Mad About You, digi image from a Day for Daisies (not CTMH)
Inks: Cotton Candy
Markers: Cotton Candy (new), Chocolate, Taffy, Sunset, and Buttercup (old)
Other: Prisma Glitter, ribbon (from my stash)

Color Dare #11

Here is the card I made for the Color My Heart Color Dare. I used the sketch from Sweet Stop sketches.

Materials used:
Paper: Colonial White, Cocoa, Indian Corn Blue, and Honey cardstock
Stamps: Scroll Album Workshop
Ink: Cocoa, Indian Corn Blue, Honey
Other: Burlap Ribbon, Floret paper shapes, Mocha Opaques

Pear & Partridge

I am offering the Pear & Partridge Card Workshop On The Go in Nov. and the Scrapbooking WOTG in Dec. These are the projects using P&P that I had displayed at my open house:

The first layout is the WOTG layout using stamps and rub-ons. This is an original pattern designed by Jeanette Lynton.

Next is the second WOTG layout using stamps and rub-ons. This layout is Final Act from Magic.

This layout is the first sticker layout using the adhesive P&P Dimensional Elements. I loosely followed the level 2 layout in the Idea Book (using the DEs instead of rub-ons, and switching the green papers). It is from Reflections: Side Bar - Balancing Act and Quartet - Offset.

For my next sticker layout, I used the rest of the DEs. This layout is from Reflections as well: Sidebar - Triple and Title Topper - Billboard.

Next I made the bonus project. These are the Dimensional Elements ornaments.

I completed the 15 cards in the Pear and Partridge card WOTG. This is the first one. I made 5 of these.

This is the second one. I made 5 of these.

This is the 3rd one. I made 5 of these, too.

These are the dates I will be offering these workshops:

November 24th - card workshop

December:
8th - WOTG
11th - sticker night
16th - open crop

I will also be offering a calendar workshop on the 29th of Dec. I do not have it made up yet, but I will post it when it is made! Please email me about times and prices. Thanks for looking and I hope to see you in December!

Scholastic

I am offering workshops for Scholastic in November. Here is everything that I displayed from Scholastic at my open house:

This is the first Scholastic WOTG layout. It is an original pattern designed by Jeanette Lynton.

This is the second WOTG layout. It is Card Trick from Magic.

This is the first sticker-layout I will be offering for Scholastic. You can find this layout in the Idea book, and on the back of the My Stickease Assortment. It is Disappearing Act from Magic.

This is the second sticker-layout I will be offering. It is also found on the back of My Stickease. The pattern is Powerful Trio from Imagine.

Next I made the bonus project for the Scholastic WOTG. It is a card album. You need to purchase the Kraft Die Cut Cards and the Chalkboard Shapes and Marker in order to complete this album. I am a little frustrated that several pages are left out of the instructions. I will show you what I was able to make, but the album is still incomplete. This is the front cover.

This is the inside front cover.

This is page 1.

This is page 4.
