Hard to Please | Fancy Friday 2014

Welcome to the very first Fancy Friday!
Past 2013-2014 Stampin' Up! Artisans are here to challenge YOU!
And it happens every month - on the last Friday.
Make sure you play along!
And guess what? We are giving away one lucky winner the Seasonally Scattered stamp set!
What do you have to do? You've got to just link up your project in the comments using the colour combination below.
See the rules at the bottom of this post!
I didn't get to this card very easily.
This colour palette wasn't easy for me even though it screams Fall.

I started with this.

I hated it.

Then I started on this.
I stopped. I hated it.


I got back to basics.  
I found a random punch.
I cut out the colours.
I played with the triangles on a card base.
Then found a background stamp.

The end.
Try to above if you are stuck.
It helped me get out of my "box"

Now, make sure you find Cindy.  She's an uber busy lady... how does she keep up?


Need the details to play along?
THE RULES:
1. Leave a comment on one of our blogs with a link to your creation, comments/links MUST be left by Friday, September 19th 7:00 PM MST in order to be eligible for the prize.

A special canvas for Simon


Back in the Spring, Simon's Mommy asked me to create something to preserve the growth of baby Simon's first year.  Although we had some ideas, we really weren't sure what we were searching for in the end.  So it took me way too long to put the photocopies of footprints in action.  

Often ideas come to me quickly but not this time.  

You see, Simon is what I would call a miracle baby.  I have never directly spoken to Mom & Dad about it but born at 27 weeks I am sure they would agree.  Looking and holding those little cut outs really has a way to tug at your heart. What makes this canvas even more special is that Simon has an angel in heaven, one that would be very much a twin and playmate to him today.  Instead his angel is watching him and his family from above and helping them live a wonderful life.

And so, this 16x16 canvas will forever show how miracles are very real.  And for his family a reminder that such a road, that was incredibly twirly, could give so much joy.

This is just another way that preserving memories can be something that is more than just footprints on a page.

Give it a whirl.

She's My Lovely | SU Convention Display Boards


I love this picture.
I love the negative space that points towards her happy face.
She exudes happiness.
I want to drink it up.
She's my lovely.


These butterflies are adhered by sewing and thus fly off the page.

And of course, there's several layers of stamping along with some washi along the side.
