There is something about plaid at this time of year, it just makes me feel cozy! This week the Global Design Project challenge is a colour challenge, and I decided to make a plaid background to create a cozy card. Take that snowy day!!!

Last week the Global Design Project had a colour challenge. The week slipped away, and I didn’t get to participate. This week there is a sketch challenge. I really like the colours from last weeks challenge - Blackberry Bliss, Grapefruit Grove and Mint Macaron. They are 3 of my favourite Stampin’ Up! colours, so I decided to combine last week and this week and use those colours in this weeks sketch!

The Petal Promenade DSP has beautiful flower images, and I wanted to showcase them as much as possible on my card today. I decided to make them the main event and not cover them up too much. I choose the Happy Birthday Thinlits to help me do that.

It's a colour challenge over at the Global Design Project, and they are 3 fantastic colours! Night of Navy, Bermuda Bay and Lovely Lipstick. Blue is my favourite colour, so Night of Navy and Bermuda Bay work well for me, and I love the pop of bright that Lovely Lipstick adds. It is one of the new 2018 - 2020 In Colours. They are all bold bright colours and this one is no exception.

I love spending time at the cottage in the summer, and as everyone knows, I love paper crafting!! I find making handmade cards is a great way to relax, and when you give someone a hand made card you share joy and love. What a perfect combination. I spend a lot of time at the cottage in the summer, as does my neighbour out back, so for Margo's birthday card I wanted to make a card that reflected the beauty that we enjoy all summer. Here is the card I made for her.

As a display board stamper for our recent OnStage event in London, I had the task of making samples of cards with brand new, never before seen stamp sets. I have to say, this was a new challenge for me, and one that taught me a lot. One of the stamp sets I received was very different from anything I would normally purchase or use.

I love the Daisy Delight stamp set and coordinating Daisy punch. They make it easy to create quick and cute cards. I was very happy to see that they would still be available when the new annual catalogue comes out on June 1, but it will no longer be a bundle, so get it now and save 10% when you buy both. The Designer Series Paper I used for today's card will also be gone.

Well it looks like today is brought to you by the letter F, and the number Four!!!! Remember that from Sesame Street? That was a great show (it may still be, but I don't have any little ones so I'm not up on my children's programming!!), with some really cute characters. Today the letter F brings us four more cute characters.

A birthday is something to celebrate, and that can mean cake and ice cream (or other yummy treats!!), but these days many people are watching what they consume, or have an allergy to ingredients in those treats. I'm happy to say that Stampin' Up! has a solution that will still allow us to celebrate someone's birthday. The perfect birthday card . . .

When it comes to celebrating birthdays, it is nice to go all out. Of course we don't want to break the bank to do that, but we want the recipient of the birthday greetings to know that we took the time, and made the effort to select the exact right thing, and spared little or no expense for them. I have spent countless hours looking for the ultimate birthday celebration, and I think I have finally found it.
