COLORING DOWN THE LINES

I'm baaackkk!!! Was having a bit of difficulty with my blog for a couple of weeks! It seems to be back to normal now.  A little finagling here & there seemed to work!!! Glad to be back with my 
Coloring Down the Lines 
peeps!!!!

Welcome from Helen's blog! Or wherever you are from!  And happy hopping over to Miss Lizzy's blog next!!! We are a full hop today, so keep going until you are back here! Pretty colors this week!!

Here's my card:

Here is the inspiration photo:


Here are the Stampin' Up! colors:
So this week's card is just a very simple little diddy I  needed for a friend.  Nothing too fancy, but I got to use some of my new goodies from not only the Occasions Catalog, but also the Sale-a-Bration catalog!!! These are great this year!!!

This flowers are from the SAB catalog-Flowering Fields stamp set! Such a sweet set! I can't wait to try it with some other colors!  

The sentiment is from Suite Sayings. It can be found in the OC!!! I sure hope this one carries over to the new Annual Catalog! Lots of good sayings here, & not the same ole same ole! A bit different. I know I'll be using this baby a lot!!!

I just simply cut the middle out with the Floral Frames Framelits.  I wanted another color in there to make the flowers "pop", but I ran out! lol Believe it or not there are all 5 colors used this week! The Blackberry Bliss & the          Rich Razzleberry are very similar when using fine lines.  

If you look very closely, you will see a very subtle bling!  The OC has a great new tool-it's called the Wink of Stella pen. It comes in gold & clear. The clear is used here. It's so easy to use! It's far more subtle than the Dazzling Details, but it's pretty. The light catches it just so!

So go hopping & enjoy! It's great to be back again! I missed you all!!!! Until next time...

Happy Stampin'!!!

ICS BLOG HOP-LET'S SALE-BRATE!


Here we are in 2016 in our first ICS SALE-A-BRATION post!!!  Welcome to another month of the 
Inspire, Create, Share Blog Hop!!! 
I know you'll find some amazing ideas to use your 
FREE 
items from 
Sale-A-Bration 2016!!!

Here's what I came up with:


I used one of the great 3-step stamp sets that Stampin' Up! comes up with! This one is exclusive to the SAB catalog. It's called What I Love!  

I designed this as a little set of 4 note cards that I needed as a gift for someone. They will get the 4 cards & 4 matching envelopes in a clear envelope!  They are not too busy as she is not that type! Prefers the Clean and Simple cards I make. But these have enough going on that there some "pop" to them! 


I used the 2014-2016 In-Colors. I have a lot of the materials that go with those colors & want to be sure to use them before we get our new In-Colors in May!!! I like the way these go together-and they make me think of spring!!! Can't get here fast enough!!!


The fancy little corners were made with the Curvy Corner Trio Punch!  That's a nifty little tool for when you need just that special something on the edges!  Easy to use too!!! 

So how go hop over to Terri's blog & keep going!!! You can either click on her name or on the picture below! Be sure to leave a comment when you visit! We love to hear from you!!!!

Until next month!!!!

Happy Stamping'!
