May All Your Tomorrows - Global Design Project #157

Good morning, friends!  If you're coming from the GDP blog, welcome to Calgary, Canada!  I'm here today with a super special blog post for Global Design Project #157.


Global Design Project isn't typically on my roster of blog posts, but after entering last month's colour challenge, I was asked to be a guest designer for this month's. So fun!

Of course, I was happy to join the GDP team again and work with this gorgeous colour combination of Blackberry Bliss, Mint Macaron, and Grapefruit Grove.  


The first thing I made with this card was the sentiment panel - that was an easy way to work in all three colours and start with a focal point, and then I could build from there.  Adding layers upon layers, I was able to pile on lots of colour with very little white space - my favourite!


I love the look of the traditional, elegant sentiment panel with the modern and clean polka dot DSP.  It's a fun way to combine things, isn't it?  All of the supplies in this lovely card are available from Stampin' Up! - you'll find links to purchase from my Online Canadian Stampin' Up! Store at the bottom of this post!

Never Too Old - Broadway Birthday

Hello friends!  I'm back with another card I've had socked away in the queue - and thank goodness for that queue, because once again I'm SICK!  The last few months have been a germ factory up in here.  I've got strep throat again - if you're keeping track, this is the fourth time since the end of June.  One more and I get a bingo!  I haven't had much time or inclination to craft as I've been lazing about and trying to feel better. 

Today's card was a request from a customer.  I have a number of ladies who regularly buy my cards, and a few more who put in a special order for a special occasion.  I love these orders - they keep me on my toes and give me something to work toward.

Today's card was for a gent's milestone 80th birthday. 


I was on a roll of using Blueberry Bushel the night I created this, and I love the end result!  It's such a lovely, rich blue.  Paired with gold and Balmy Blue, it masculine with a bit of glam perfect for a special occasion.

Broadway Birthday might be an upcoming CrushOnColour Project Pack - I loved creating with it!
