It has been one heck of a week for me and I am so, so, SO happy that it is finally Friday! 

 

And what makes every Friday awesome?!?!  An all new Friday Mashup Challenge, that's what!

 

 

This week's Mashup Challenge is to:

 Create a project featuring at least 3 of the colors above

or Create a project featuring Snow/Snowflakes

or Mash It Up and create a snow themed project using the colors above

 

I decided to {kind of} mash things up...I used the colors and the Softly Falling Embossing Folder for the snow.  That works, right?

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Pool Party, Night of Navy, Smoky Slate, Whisper White, Schoolhouse DSP

Ink ~ Night of Navy, Pool Party, Wink of Stella

Stamp Sets ~ Balloon Celebration

Other Supplies ~ Softly Falling Embossing Folder, Cups & Kettle Framelits, Smoky Slate Thick Bakers Twine

 

This sentiment is very fitting as I have a coffee date with two of my favorite friends tomorrow...I can't wait!

 

Be sure to head on over to Friday Mashup and check out the rest of the design team creations and join along in the fun!

 

Happy Stamping!

 



Reduce, Reuse, Retire

TGIF....we made it through another week!  It was another crazy-busy week for my family and next week is going to be even crazier-busier...hang on!!!   I am going to take full advantage of this weekend and enjoy a quick weekend getaway with my hubby before he heads out of town for a week.  But before we hit the road, I have a fun Friday Mashup creation that also fits in perfectly with Friday Favorites over at Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration.

This weeks mashup challenge is to use this fun sketch by Heidi along with a favorite retired/retiring product.

My office is full of boxes right now as I have been cleaning out my stamping space, so I tore off a bit of cardboard to use for the coffee cozy and to create the grid pattern on the Baked Brown Sugar paper.

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Coastal Cabana, Whisper White, Pistachio Pudding, Crisp Cantaloupe, Baked Brown Sugar, Lullaby DSP

Ink ~ Memento, Baked Brown Sugar

Stamp Sets ~ Perfect Blend

Other Supplies ~ Pistachio Pudding Thick Bakers Twine, Itty Bitty Punch Pack, On Film Framelits, Sweet Sadie Washi Tape

 

 

So, does this card look a little bit long to you? I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me while I was editing the photo, but after a quick check, I realized I cut my paper 1/4" longer...oops!  Thankfully I left a little bit of room at the top and bottom and was able to trim the excess and safe the card!

 

I hope you all have a fantastic weekend! 

 

Happy Stamping!!!
