Peaceful Place Two Ways

Have you ever had one of those weeks where you felt like you were barely keeping your head above water??? That totally describes my week with a home Chiefs game on Monday, Stamp ‘n Sip nights on Tuesday and Thursday, two days teaching, and heading back to KC for another game this weekend! Today has been a zoo with trying to get orders placed, suitcases repacked, while still trying to get blog posts together for the weekend! Thinking I’m about to go under for the third and final time!

***I love how simple yet beautiful this card turned out using the color combo of Basic Gray, Balmy Blue, Misty Moonlight, and Basic White!***

Merging Items to Create New

Today’s card is all about working smarter, not harder though! How can I quickly take what is on my desk area and create something new and in a pinch? Currently, my desk is covered with sheets and scraps of the beautiful DSP Peaceful Place because of a card class I designed this week. I also have a stamp set I used for Stamp ‘n Sip, as well as the inks of Black, Balmy Blue, and Misty Moonlight laying out. I simply merged it all together – DSP, color combination, AND card layout – to create the card above and I love it!

Recognize the card layout???? If you glance at both cards you will see how identical they are since I simply based the first card on the measurements of this card that is from my card class I’m currently taking sign ups for!

An Odd Color Combo That Works!

The image of a small, snowed-in town is from the bundle Classic Cloche. I really do not care for the cloche die itself, but there are too many good, useable pieces in both the stamp set and dies. I have a series going for the Stamp ‘n Sip gals with a 3 inch frame and this worked perfectly! We used the Balmy Blue and Misty Moonlight colors to stamp the snow scene which explains the ink! Layout and DSP from a card class, stamp set and inks from a Stamp ‘n Sip project, and when I merged it, you get the card for the blog entry! SMARTER NOT HARDER!!!

***I love how much detail Stampin Up can squeeze into a tiny wintry scene!***
