I'm Back

Welcome Back! 

It's been a while for me, skipped the first challenge of the year, was sick! Then Leadership happened - so much fun! New stuff! :) But I am back with a simple design for you today!

 I designed the challenge colors because I just love how these colors go together... they are fabulous and even though they are cool colors they warm me up, when I see them together! 

Here's my take on the challenge!

I went super clean on this one... for two reasons - one simple is fabulous and clean! I love it!

I used florals because I hardly ever do... not against florals, but they have been awesome! As in this case,  The Summer Romance prints from Fun Stampers Journey is perfect!  Along with the print, I selected Pretty Pansy and Brush Silver as layers and Whip Cream for my base card.  I used the Tags sr die with the hello, which is from Fabulous Bird. I masked off parts of the sentiment, inked it in Pretty Pansy and topped it off with a wooden heart button and some of my dyed twine.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you will join us for this awesome challenge!

Don't forget at CYCI you can use any products!

Until next time,

CYCI#143 Sketch & Giveaway

 Happy Holidays my Friends!

I decide to keep as true as possible with the sketch, I designed it to be clean and cute!

The only exception  I used my sentiment as part of my design, in the square area instead of below it.

I also kept the products simple, and easy to recreate

Starting with the New Year stamp set.

I added the black color to the star from the Amazing Accents, they are wood shapes! Totally loved it!

For the banner in the back, I used some of our Licorice Sparkle Tape, and again I used it as a border on the card base to create some simple fun!

Don't forget that this challenge is 3 weeks long, instead of two!

Giving the Design Team plenty of time to enjoy the holidays with family and friends!

I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

CYCI#142 Colors by Wynn

OMGee.. has it been a busy two weeks! 

Hey, everyone I've got a simple design with a bit of wow thrown in for fun!

I started with my Geo Burst die from Fun Stampers Journey,  which I did in Brush Silver cardstock.

Next, I added some Pretty Pansy cardstock to highlight areas as an inlay.  The Joy is from Holiday Script which sold out and no longer available, on Whip Cream cs and Black Licorice ink. My base is a top fold. With a couple finishing touches Black Sparkle Tape and some BL Twine!

I hope you enjoyed my design for this challenge!

CYCI#141 Sketch

When I put this sketch together, I thought this should be easy... well it wasn't as easy as I had thought! Needless to say... it's not my best work, but I kept true to the sketch, and I'm sure you'll be kind! lol!

Been sharing most of my work on Facebook and Instagram so stop by either of them, so see more!

:) Super Simple... BAH! lol!! 

Here's what I used,  Striped Love background stamp, in Oatmeal Cookie ink from Fun Stampers Journey.  I added a sentiment from the  Holiday Script, in Black Licorice ink and added a layer of white fun foam which I cut using the matching die to the Peace sentiment.

Got some layers or Whip Cream, Oatmeal Cookie, and Black Licorice and a sliver of Candy Apple.

For my dots, I used some of the glaze dots and colored them with Cranberry Splash silk.

That's it for today, check out CYCI for the team's amazing designs

Until next time

CYCI#137

We survived the first week of Homeschool (which is actually online school) and I am excited to see how next week is going to go! Butter is in Middle school now and has seven different instructors, one for each subject plus homeroom! The grands are all back to school as well!

Let's get this party started!

Amber selected the CYCI colors this week and I was so excited to give them a try!

I busted out my FSJ products: I used River Stone for the Gray,  Sweet Berry for Flamingo and Ken Oliver Chartreuse! I used two different stamp sets to get what I was looking for, with Damask Print as my main image and a sentiment from Creature Comforts.

I created a couple of small banners for layering, and tada, I have a smashing design!

I hope you have a wonderful week

Until next time

CYCI#128 Sketch Challenge

Wow, what an adventurous week we got to visit our favorite spot on the coast and Gus loved it!
He was all wags and wonder...  That was great to bring him finally along with us on a trip out to Cannon Beach Oregon, which is one of our favorite spots! We got to stop at the candy store, yummy!

AnyWho... on to the challenge for the week!

For this sketch, I used mostly Fun Stampers Journey products, along with a die from Gina Marie and a stencil from Simon Says Stamp.
I used the fabulous and fun Sweet Pear, Lemon Grass and Oatmeal Cookie, along with Whipped Cream and some Gold Silk!  For my sentiment and stamp image, I pulled out Creature Comforts. I did the little beaver (which is Oregon's state animal) and colored with my Spectrum Noir in browns!
I also used my crimper to give that 1/4 stripe a bit of texture.  Now the stencil give the paper some interest with the Sweet Pear!  Finishing off my design with some Thread in Natural! 

I know you'll enjoy the challenge, so stop on by and join in!

Until next time
