Fall To Layout 100!! Striped Best Wishes

I enjoy the clean & simple blog from Natasha and her gang so much!  Their Fall To Layouts are great inspiration and I use them often.   This week is their 100th Fall to Layout so I thought I'd play along.  They are having a blog hop so you should go and check out all the great cards created for this 100th layout.


My card is fairly clean and simple.  It is a vanilla card base with this wonderful striped designer paper on top (Cosmo Cricket, I think).  The oval sentiment and ribbon are Scarlet Jewel (Papertrey Ink) to pick up the darkest reds from the designer paper!   I used my "hi tech" decorative scissors to cut the scallop since I don't own any such punch or die!  The scissors work just as well for me!! 


If you love the sketch as much as I do, make sure you link your project up over at the clean & simple site so we can all see your creation!!

Fall To Layout 76 - x 2

I was checking out the Clean and Simple blog and decided to try the latest fall to layout #76. I liked it so much, I actually created 2. I started out with gingham paper and then moved on to some jean paper. The jean paper is my favorite because I am totally getting into making masculine valentine cards!! Supplies: Stamps - Out on a Limb (Papertrey Ink - no longer sold), Beyond Basic Borders (Papertrey Ink); Paper - White, Black, and Buckaroo Blue, Red Riding Hood, Kraft (all Stampin' Up!); Ink - Basic Black; Other - hemp, black marker, dimensionals, crochet yarn, red heart button, wide black grosgrain ribbon (Papertrey Ink). I can't wait to show you all of the masculine valentine cards that I have been making over the last few weeks!! Such fun!!! Donelda

Fall To Layout 53 - Forever and Always

I love the Clean and Simple Stamping blog by Natasha and the girls. They have great "fall to" layouts and colors and do a "10 minute monday" feature! Great stuff if you love Clean and Simple stamping!

I really liked the Fall To Layout 53 and decided to give it a whirl (hmmm, my new fav. word). Since I don't own that uber awesome medallian stamp from Stampin' Up (it is awesome!!) I had to get creative. I combined a number of clear stamps from Papertrey Ink to create this circular image in Vintage Cream ink. I simple drew a circle on the green designer paper for placement and erased it when I was done. An addition of a center piece and sentiment makes for an elegant yet simple card.

Supplies: Stamps: Demask Designs, Guide Lines 2, Corners and Borders {circles}, Wedding Day, First Fruits (all Papertrey Ink); Ink - Vintage Cream (Papertrey Ink), Basic Black (SU!), Olive Pastel (ColorBox); Paper - Vintage Cream, True Black (Papertrey Ink), Back side of Limeade (WeRMemory Keepers); Other - 1 1/4" circle punch, pencil.

It was so much fun creating this circular image by combining all those stamps! I just might need to create a few of these in different colors!

Thanks for dropping in!
