Be Strong - Rooted in Nature

Hello friends, and happy Saturday!  I'm in for a busy day - it's our 11th wedding anniversary, so we're going out for a nice dinner and a Roller Derby double-header!  Woo!

Today's card is sweet and simple - sometimes less is more (although if anyone asks, I'll deny having said that!)  Simple, lots of white space, two colours - as much as it's not my regular style, I DO love this one.


Soft Sea Foam is the perfect pale green - such a lovely new addition to the Stampin' Up! colour line up!  Here, I've paired it with Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, and Very Vanilla for a muted and classic pallette.  A bit of copper twine and some matte sequins add a bit of bling without bringing it over the top.  Love!

See you again soon - have a fabulous day!

Happy Birthday - Lined Alphabet

Hello friends!  Happy Saturday!  I'm cheating and writing this on Friday afternoon to post tomorrow - I'm heading out to see Trevor Noah tonight (all the heart eyes!) and trying to get my bases covered before I go! 

Today's card was a happy experiment with Brusho, ink, and minimal supplies - this card was created before my first full order from the new catalogue arrived, which meant I had virtually no ribbon or embellishments to use!  It was a bit of a challenge to bring in lots of colour and texture without my usual supplies, but a few creative twists and a whole lot of mess later, and this beauty was created.  I really love how this turned out, which is great because Brusho has a mind of it's own!


What IS Brusho?  It's a watercolour crystal powder that comes in a little shaker - so after wetting your paper, you sprinkle it on and let the colour burst in whatever direction and design it chooses.  Sometimes it's gorgeous, other times - at least for me - it goes in the garbage and I try again!  This one was perfect on the first try.  A few splatters with a Bermuda Bay marker and a few suns stamped on, and this background was complete and ready for the sentiment.


I love this colour combination of Mango Melody with Bermuda Bay.  It's so pretty!

All of the supplies shown here are available in my Online Canadian Stampin' Up! Store - have you made your wishlist yet?   Get shopping, friends - these new supplies are to die for!

See you again soon - have a fabulous day!

Birthday Beers - Calls for a Celebration

Hey friends!  This week has been sheer craziness and it's only Wednesday!  I started a new job this past week, and I'm in the thick of training and orientation shifts - more hours than I like to work in a week and I'm not done yet!  It's been fantastic, though, and I'm so eager for this new position. 

In the meantime, though, I've had a few minutes here and there to get creative!  This card has been about two months in the making... it started off with different coloured bottles in a different layout, and then after the Colour Revamp, I needed to get rid of some of the colours, so I changed the layout while I was at it!  Then the background was finished, but I was waiting for the perfect sentiment - Calls For A Celebration, a stamp set in the brand new 2018-2019 Stampin' Up! Catalogue, had just what I wanted!  So I ordered that, waited for it to be delivered, and was finally able to finish my card!  Phew! 


Sometimes cards take a little bit of time until I feel like they're just right, but two months is a whole new record!  I love the bottles in all the shades of the Brights Colour Family - it's so fun and festive!


I've got another SUPER fun card queued up for you this week - don't forget to stop back closer to the weekend to see that one!

See you again soon - have a fabulous day!
