Uncomfortable with using Brights color pallette.


O.k. here I am again. I needed to get back to stamping and I finally did. I'm not very comfortable with using the bright color palette but here are two cards the same but different colors. I'm trying to use up the SAB ice cream parlor Designer paper and the coordinating colors are all brights. I've run out of melon mambo and Daffodil Delight so I'll have to try some other combo that goes along with this paper until I get more. Here are the two different colors cards.
First card was made using Pacific Point , Daffodil delight, WW. card stock, Ice Cream Parlor dp. Chocolate Chip and melon mambo ink pads. The Big shot was used  by running pp cs through the eb folder polka dots, the scallop trim border punch, Ice cream parlor buttons, and the ribbon all from the SAB promotion which I earned for free. melon Mambo polka dot ribbon but I flipped it because there was enough polka dots on the card already. The stamp set was called sweet scoops.
 The second card all of the same ingredients but using  Melon Mambo, Pretty In Pink and WW cardstock instead.
    I also have a scrapbook page that I worked on , but will put it up a little later.
Thanks for visiting, have a great night. Til next time.
Happy stamping

Amongst the missing.

Hello everyone,

    I have been missing for a little while. It's been kind of busy. I've had a couple of Stamp a Stack classes and my own monthly class. I've been really busy at work , trying to get my younger son off to his girlfriend's junior prom and my dad passed away a couple of weeks ago and we were busy with all that. I haven't done much stamping lately . I really need to get back to it. Also my younger son has had some medical issues and worries I've been dealing with. Hopefully that will get better. He really keeps me worrying.
   I did these cards oh about a month ago. I'm really loving our sneak peek  stamp set called Four Frames and really loving the Paisley Prints Designer series paper. I will be doing a class very soon using both of these new products.
   Sale - A Bration is over and done with so disregard the SAB brochure on the right. I will remove it as soon as I figure out how to do that with out messing up the whole side bar. LOL
   So my younger son went to prom Sat night and they really looked good  together. His girlfriend's dress was beautiful and so was she. K.J. cleaned up nicely once he shaved. K.J is a senior so he will be doing this again in may for Sr. prom. I hope to post the one picture that I took. They came here to take pics and my camera only took one pic when it told me that the internal memory was full. I couldn't figure it out because I bought a memory card a while ago and it was suppose to hold quite a few pics. Well I got the one and at least it was a good one. Later after they left  I opened my camera to realize that the memory card wasn't pushed in all the way so that is why the memory was full. I really wish I knew more about camera technology. Now I have to figure out how to get the prom picture off the internal memory and onto the camera . I think I will need a usb chord. So as soon as I do that I will post the one pic. I had taken.
   Anyways here a couple of Thank You cards I had made. One using the new products Four Frame and Paisley Prints Designer paper and the other using this beautiful stamp set called Nature walk which we received from regionals for free and can be ordered from the Occasions Mini Catalog, good until the end of April. 
The 1st card used the Four Frames sneak peek stamp set this will be in the new catalog that comes out in July. The Paisley Print Desgner series paper. I used Teeny Tiny wishes for the Thank you.and used pure and simple (retired) alphabet set. Card stock used was River Rock Old olive,Tangerine tango, Marina Mist and WW.

Inks used: Not Quite navy.
 Accessories used  Antique brads, Decorative Label punch, Linen thread, glue Dots snail adhesive.
I'm thinking this would make a great Mother's day card if we used Celebrate instead of Thank.

The next card supplies used :
 Stamps: Walk With nature, Teeny Tiny wishes.  
  Inks: Crumb Cake, Rich Razzleberry Marker and Old olive Marker. 
Card Stock: Crumb Cake, Rich Razzleberry, WW.
Accessories: Crumb cake Taffeta ribbon
