Wednesday ...Catalog Inspiration

Isn't she so cute?

Both last week's catalog inspiration and this week's come from the same page in the new catalog.

I knew that these would be the first two cards I re-create.

I love the SU catalog for this very reason. 

Inspiration.

And a never ending quick gift list when needed ...LOL

Supplies:

• Crumb Cake CS, Raspberry Ripple CS, Pumpkin Pie CS, Island Indigo CS, Watercolor Paper
• Little Friends Stamp Set
• Island Indigo Marker, Pumpkin Pie Marker, Raspberry Ripple Marker, Daffodil Delight Marker, Soft Suede Marker, Lucky Limeade Marker
• Aquapainter, Labels Collection Framelits, Brads in Brights and Regals*

*I used the Tempting Turquoise brad for Island Indigo, and Cherry Cobbler brad for Raspberry Ripple.

Thursday....

This was a CASE from Carrie Gaskin. Her skills make me crazy. I wish I had an ounce of the talent she has. Lucky for me, she shares what she does with us. On the original card the elements were smaller and more compact. I went with something larger because I am getting older and my eyes like something bigger. LOL!

I think it still works because the proportions are the same.

I love this card with it's unexpected color combinations and it's quirky elements.

Love it!

Colour Q Challenge #110

I saw a card with this layout and I loved it and thought it makes a great card AND would make a great layout for a scrapbook page. So when I saw the colors for this challenge I thought I would challenge my notion that this card sketch would be just as versatile with different colors. I like doing this color challenges because it really does challenge me. I like what I like and I usually don't play with combinations of colors. I love the Colour Q Challenges!

Look for a scrapbook page tomorrow using this same layout.
