Up, Up and Away with Benji

Welcome to an extra special Around the World on Wednesday Blog Hop!  This month we are taking Angie McKenzie's sweet pup, Benji, on a trip around the world with us. We are sharing a bit about where we are from, so fasten your seatbelts and get ready for an exciting trip!

I'm from a town so nice they named it twice...Walla Walla!  We are located in the southeastern corner of Washington state and summer has officially arrived!  Every year during Mother's Day weekend, hot air balloons from all around the United States come for the annual Balloon Stampede.  It is my favorite event of the year, so I thought it would be fun to share the experience with Benji!

I created a bright and cheerful scrapbook page and a card using the Something for Everything and Say Something Ephemera Packs, along with the Full of Life DSP.  How fun are these?!?

For the scrapbook page, I cut some squares of the Full of Life DSP and placed them in a pattern that reminded me of some of the hot air balloons. Bits and pieces from the Ephemera Packs added a little extra fun to the page and required no stamping! The picture is from the Nite Glow this year. As the sun goes down, the tethered balloons light up the night.  Isn't it beautiful Benji?

I had so much fun with the scrapbook page that I kept going and made a card to go along with it!  How fun is this pattern of DSP?!?

It's time to take off to go visit Leonie in Australia!  Safe travels Benji!

Mix & Match Celebration

Happy Friday friends and welcome to an all new TGIF Challenges Sketch Challenge!

I am usually one to follow a sketch pretty closely, but I went in a little different direction with this one!  All of the elements of the sketch are still there...do you see them?

I am wrapping up the week with one more Mix & Match card using these cute little critters from the Something for Everything Ephemera Pack.  Don't they just make you happy?  

The card base is from the Sunny Springs Cards & Envelope Pack.  The top layer comes from one of the envelopes.  I love how all of these colors coordinate so well!

A sweet and simple sentiment from Simply Said completed the sketch...no embellishments needed!

I hope my creations this week have inspired you to add the Mix & Match products to your crafty collection.  You won't be disappointed!

Happy Stamping!

Around The World On Wednesday Blog Hop May 2024

 

Welcome to this month's Around The World On Wednesday Blog Hop!  This month we have a variety of projects to share using this fun sketch. 

You may have just arrived from seeing the beautiful sketch interpretation from Theresa McEntee of Theresa's Treasures or you may just be starting...either way, be sure to make a stop at each blog along the way!

I absolutely love the new Mix & Match products!  Today I am sharing a project using the Sunny Springs Cards & Envelopes and the Fully Flower and Something for Everything Ephemera Packs. The only extra card stock is the Soft Sea Foam layer and the Basic Black for the sentiment.

I cut the strips from the coordinating envelope for this card base.  I love the softer colors on the outside of the envelope with the bolder colors inside.  They worked so well for this sketch!

The floral images come from the Fully Flowering Ephemera Pack and the sweet little butterfly is from the Something For Everything Pack. Aren't they beautiful?  There are endless creative possibilities with these products!
