Sending Hugs... 26

Hi there! I hope you are having a great weekend! I have been looking at my long time neglected PTI stamps and decided to create a non-mixed media style card. With 3 children now living out of state: Jerry and my DIL April working in San Francisco, Connor attending college in Los Angeles and Meredith attending college in New York City, I thought a card featuring PTI's fun suitcases would be great to have on hand to send anyone of them :)

For color inspiration, I joined along with the ColourQ colour challenge:

And for sketch inspiration, I joined along with the current Freshly Made Skteches sketch challenge:

Thanks so much for stopping by ~ I hope you have a great Sunday!
Be Sweet ;)

Hi there! Today it's my turn to share my last project as an official DT member along with a step by step tutorial on the ColourArte blog. It's been an amazing 6 months! Before I get to today's projects, I would like to take a moment to thank you all who took the time to visit my blog as well as the ColourArte blog. I really appreciate your kind and supportive comments! I would like to thank Leslie Ohnstad (the Owner) as well as Terri Sproul (the DT Manager) for the wonderful opportunity to represent the awesome line of ColourArte products and for Leslie's endless generosity. It's been an honor to be on a team with an uber talented group of designers. Please be sure to visit the ColourArte blog to see my tutorial along with all the fab inspiration from the DT!

I also have a layout to share featuring one of my favorite ColourArte products: Radiant Rain Sea Foam Shimmering Mists:

I scrapped a photo that Scott snapped when we were visiting Venice several years ago:

I never tire of the Venetian scenery:

I added lots of texture and design using a brick wall stencil along with modeling paste. Once dry, I splashed on Sea Foam Shimmering Mist.

I randomly stamped several coffee stain images using Prima Coffee Stains stamps then embellished with a variety of flowers, metal trinkets and die cut foliage:

For sketch inspiration, I joined along with the Sketchabilities sketch challenge:

For color and the travel theme inspiration, I joined along with the August Scrap Around The World challenge:

Hi there! Today it's my turn to share a DT project on the Prima blog focusing on Prima cling stamps and stencils. I made a greeting card featuring a variety of beautiful Prima products. Please be sure to visit the Prima blog to see all the fab DT inspiration!

I love the versatility of projects that may be created using a combination of Prima’s vast collection of cling stamps and stencils. Whether simple or layered, the effects can be rather fabulous.
