Challenges

It’s the 20th which means it’s time for a new DeNami Design blog challenge! We rotate between our four categories (sketch, theme, color and theme)- this time we’re doing a fun sketch! Sketches are some of my favorites to do; they are easy to translate to your style, and it’s fun to see all the different takes on the same sketch!

For my card today, I knew I wanted to play with the Tulip Border. It’s been a little while since I played with this pretty stamp. I just love how it coordinates with the Scallop Tulip Circle, so I had to bring that one out too! :) At the bottom I added one of the stamps from the Let’s Get Together set. Have I mentioned that I love the style of this sentiment before? Man, I wish I had writing like that…..

I hope you’ll play along with this FUN sketch! For this particular one, you don’t have to use DeNami stamps, so there is no excuse not to join in on the fun! You have until July 30th, 11:59 PST to play. We can’t wait to see what you create!

Have a fabulous Tuesday! I’ll see you tomorrow with my DeNami Design Product Spotlight post featuring some adorable stamps!

Yippee! It’s time for another fabulous Embellish Color Challenge! This time the challenge was to use orange, turquoise, brown and kraft in addition to some ric rac. I’m so loving these colors together- it’s so unique and fresh! (It also seems to be very popular….)

A few weeks back I ordered the stunning Mehndi Medallions set, but haven’t had a chance to play with them until now. As soon as I saw this challenge, I knew this was the set I needed to use. I love the look of these medallions- completely different than anything else I own! Did you see how I used my ric rac? I used it as a border on my middle panel! Pretty neat, huh? If you don’t have any scallop punches, you could easily use a ric rac one and create your own. :)

I have lots planned for the weekend, so I’m not exactly sure if I’ll be able to post again. I’ll do my very best though! I have lots and lots of cards to share with you. :)

Thanks for spending some time with me. I hope you were inspired!

Hi there, sweet blog friends!

I’m so sorry it has been a while since I have posted. You probably guessed that I have been crazy busy. If you did, you are absolutely correct! I can almost see the end of the tunnel, which is a very exciting feeling.

In order to keep stamping fun, I’m still trying to squeeze in a few “fun” projects in. Yes, I know I’m crazy. I feel like I need to keep some sort of normalcy in my life- since my life is stamping right now, I figured I’d throw in some fun challenges. This time, I tried my hand at Kazan’s Sketch #56. Thank goodness it was an easy sketch! :) I’m utterly in love with this new Elegant Floral Vine. It’s so perfect for a focal point, but also for creating backgrounds!

I’m going to keep this blog post short. If you haven’t entered my EK Success blog giveaway yet, be sure to do so soon! It’ll end on my birthday- Tuesday, July 13th!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Hope you were inspired!

Other: Fiskars Upper Crest border punch, Copics

Happy Friday to you all!

It’s been quite exciting here on the blog, hasn’t it? Well, today is the start of some more fun things! It’s time to share a card and sketch for the upcoming release of My Beach House! Courtney is so good about making the releases exciting and fun- this one is no exception! Each one of the Practicing Creativity DT members have created a card to go along with a sketch. Pretty fun, right? I haven’t even gotten to the exciting part….there’s a chance to win a $50 Practicing Creativity gift certificate!!! How amazing is that?!

I went with a fairly simple card design so there is plenty of room to embellish. I was completely taken with these flags- they are so fun to color with my Copics! Did you notice all the fun backgrounds on the panels? I used My Beach House, Key to my Heart and Look Up to accomplish this look. Have I mentioned that’s it’s easy to mix and match Courtney’s sets? ;)

In closing I want to be sure to mention that you should visit Courtney, Dana and Alice! They also have some cards to share + their own sketches! Lots of choices, so there are no excuses not to join us in the fun! The deadline is July 15th, so be sure to create something before then!

Thanks for stopping by! I’ll be back tomorrow with another card featuring My Beach House!

Hi there!

I’m back in Washington….the best place on earth! It was fun visiting Florida, but I couldn’t live there. The humidity was insane and I couldn’t believe how it was sunny one second then pouring rain the next! A little too bi-polar for me. :) I’ll be posting a recap of my trip in the next few days….

Today I’m featuring a sweet card based off the Go To Sketch Challenge #4. I just love this sketch- it’s an awesome design! For this card I decided to pull out some of the Best Friend Chickies. Aren’t they adorable?! I love coloring these girls and then adding some Citrone glitter– the perfect finishing touch!

Have you checked out the first sneak peek over on the DeNami Design blog? I’m so excited about this collection! There is going to be three days of picture peeks then we’ll be featuring some cards with the new designs. Lots of fun things coming up….be sure to stop by everyday!

Thanks for stopping by! Hope this card brought a smile to your face!
