Red Hot Stampers Challenge #71

It's time for Red Hot Stampers' challengs again! I can't believe it. Anyway, this sketch was simple, but i had a hard time deciding what to do on it. I started laying new stuff out that matched and this is what I came up with. Just used the new DSP from Print Poetry tablet, and added matching colors on the Oh Hello stamp set. And the little HELLO is from the Sale-a-bration set "Pretty Petites. Hope you like it. Can't wait to see everyone else's! Thanks for visiting...Carol Smith

Sketch Frenzy Friday Challenge

Hello ladies- my apoogies for being non-technical. I probably won't get this right again for my blog address at www.carolscards-rchelix.blgospot.com/sketchfrenzyfriday, but I hope that you can see my card anyway. this week's sketch was very plain and simple, and I really like how it turned out. I kept every crisp and white except the new DSP in the background, and I had to add my bling and sparkle, as always. Let me know how it looks. I put crystals in the pattern on the dsp and tied a new tea time trinket on. It should cheer someone up. Thanks for visiting. Carol Smith

Red Hot Stampers - #70

Good Morning! I'm sorry for being late for my entry at Red Hot Stampers #70. This was a pretty hard challenge for me, but I have stuff laying on my desktop that was all silver and glittery, so this is what I made. I hope you like it. My butterflies are just Sizzix Beautiful Wings made with the glitter paper, and the stamp set used was Serene Silhouettes. My gray background was sprayed with champagne mist. It's so glittery and so me! The silhouette shows up silver, but it is really embossed in white. Thanks for visiting! Carol Smith

Coloring Down the Lines-Red Hot Stampers #69

Happy New Year!  Welcome from Amanda's blog at www.ourcraftyplaydate.blogspot.com.  Her creations are so beautiful and inspiring all the time.  This one is no different.  Our colors this week were wisteria wonder, lucky limeade, and elegant eggplant, which I chose to use instead of the other option.  I used the new sketch challenge #69 from Red Hot Stampers at www.redhotstampers.blogspot.com.  for my inspiration, when I saw this, I saw an exclamation mark and 3 pennants.  I simply used the pennant punches in wisteria and white cardstock and put an elegant eggplant ribbon under them. Then  added some  champagne mist over the entire card.  I hope you like this one.  Now go to Helen's blog at www.bluedahliadesigns.blogspot.com.  Her card is again an awesome one, as she always gets me to cas her creations.  She's so imaginative.  Thanks for visiting.  Carol Smith
