Sunset birthday!

Sometimes you gotta take the inspiration photo literally, and this was one of those times!
Today's card is entirely based on the inspo photo from TGIF Challenges.
And some other day, I have got to use the other images in this fun bundle, ha! 

Supplies:

Stamps: Sunny Sentiments

Ink: Versamark
Paper: Full of Life DP, Pumpkin Pie & Basic Black card stocks

Accessories: Iridescent Pearls, Boardwalk Fun Dies, Black Embossing Powder, Dimensionals, Glue Dots, Heat Tool

I wanted to heat emboss the greeting so it would be a darker black than just ink. I haven't embossed in ages. I had to look hard for my heat tool AND the powder! Sheesh! Use your stuff! 

Back with Sympathy

I have a friend who's lost another dear family member, and I thought this color combination from Just Add Ink was soft and peaceful and would work well for a card for her. 

The specific shades I chose were Basic Black, Basic Gray, Smoky Slate, Balmy Blue & Boho Blue, and I used them all. I added a smidge of "gray" pearls, ahem. 

Supplies:
Stamps: Ranunculus Romance, In the Moment

Ink: Boho Blue, Balmy Blue, Smoky Slate, Basic Gray

Paper: Balmy Blue, Basic Gray, Basic White card stocks

Accessories: Black Vintage Crochet Trim, Metallic Pearls, Dimensionals, Blending Brushes

Winnie The Pooh!

And finally, we did get to meet and hug Winnie the Pooh!! Can you think of a better hug? haha! 

Last time we went, he was the first character we saw, but we couldn't hug any characters on that trip because of the plague. In fact, the week after we got home, they finally ended the mask requirement, which was totally lame because you could be crammed shoulder-to-shoulder in outdoor lines with no mask, but the second you went inside, ten feet away from the other "car", that mask had to be on correctly. things I do not miss.....

Supplies:

Stamps: Crayon Fun Alpha Lower, Sweet Old Friends, Sweet Words & Labels

Ink: Golden Glow, Memento Black
Paper: Basic Vanilla, Golden Glow card stocks, Silly Old Bear DP

This page shows another new In Color, Golden Glow. It is the shade of Pooh Bear in the new DP, because obviously it was meant for him! 

Once again, I added typed journaling afterwards. This time Pooh is laughing because my son went for a handshake instead of a hug, haha. Silly boys. 

I am looking forward to playing with these products more, that's for sure!! 

Seeing Eeyore

Continuing a little Disneyland, with the new Winnie the Pooh suite...
 
We didn't actually *meet Eeyore, but we saw him walk past a couple times! In the middle picture, he's waving to my bouncing youngest child, haha! 
I seriously love the DP in this suite. I MIGHT cave and get a second pack... 

Supplies:
Stamps: Crayon Fun Alpha Lower, Sweet Words & Labels

Ink: Memento Black, Hydrangea Hue
Paper: Basic Vanilla, Hydrangea Hue card stocks, Silly Old Bear DP

This page also shows off one of the new In Colors, Hydrangea Hue. It's a perfect blue. Gonna need to stock up on that too..... oy. 

Meet Rabbit

Happy Monday! Time just keeps on marching on and I still think it's February. It's fiiiine.

In March, we went on a trip to southern California- and I will start with {baby steps of} scrapping Disneyland! I have so. many. things. to scrapbook...! 
I started seeing sneak peeks of the Winnie the Pooh suite from Stampin' Up! and knew I needed it. The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh is definitely one of my top comfort movies. I got a stuffed Pooh and Tigger for my first Easter. My oldest has a stuffed Pooh and Tigger and my youngest has a stuffed Pooh and Piglet.
I was a little ...annoyed is probably too strong a word...? that it was a whole product suite, ha, because then I *needed more than just a stamp set, haha!
But then, along with a trip to Disney- yep, this suite is a NEED! And I didn't even get it all! 

So the first thing I scrapped for this trip was two of my kiddos meeting Rabbit! I made this layout using a cute bit of the DP and the stamp set. 

Supplies:

Stamps: Crayon Fun Alpha Lower, Sweet Words & Labels
Ink: Daffodil Delight, Crushed Curry

Paper: Basic Vanilla, Daffodil Delight card stocks, Silly Old Bear DP

Accessories: Blending Brush, really old washi tape

I did type up some journaling and stuck it in the open space. One thing was that Rabbit is reacting to my son's shirt which is the "The poison. The poison for Kuzco, the poison chosen especially to kill Kuzco, Kuzco's poison. That poison?" from a huge family favorite movie around here - Emperor's New Groove, which was the theme of t-shirts we got this year, hahaha!
