Adventure Awaits!

Hello again!! Thank goodness I played along with a design team several months ago so I have stuff to share! Some day I'll stamp regularly again... We're working on the basement and so many things are going on. So in the meantime, I'm just sharing what you haven't seen yet. 

This is the card I sent my niece when she graduated from high school this year. She had a big adventure- she and a few friends flew to Europe. I know they stayed with family in Germany and spent some time in Paris and I don't even know where all. It was a fitting image, that's for sure. 

I picked some of her favorite colors and I think it turned out fun and happy! 

Stamps: Places You'll Go, Greatest Adventure

Perfect greeting for new years, or any time at all! 
Today's card uses the color combo from Color Throwdown. This train image is on the Last Chance list, so if your house is anything like mine, you'll want to snag that very soon! This time I tried to add to the smoke and cold with a Blending Brush and Smoky Slate ink.

Trains!

To say that my son has been obsessed with trains his entire life is a gross understatement. My youngest tends to like a lot of the same things he likes and we have seen a lot. of trains. in our time, ha. As soon as I saw this train stamp, I wanted it, but I think between my mom and I, we own every single train Stampin' Up! has released in the 20 years I've been a demonstrator...and there is a similar one to this particular train. So similar in fact, that I pulled out my old train stamps to compare, and my son told me not to worry about it, ha! Buuuut...... I really kind of love it..... sooo here it is! Ready for classes! HA. And lots of scrapbooking!! 

Anyway, my first card today comes from the latest Color Throwdown. This is the one we'll make at my upcoming class. The colors are slightly Christmasy on my card but I think also autumnal and that's what I'm going for right now. 

Supplies:

Stamps: Greatest Adventure

Ink: Copper Clay

Paper: Old Olive, Cherry Cobbler & Basic White card stocks

Accessories: Transparent Adhesive Dots

This second card uses the already ended TGIF Challenge colors. But I like the pop of Berry Burst with the train. I thought I had Berry dots, but I guess not...so I used these clear ones instead.

Supplies:

Stamps: Greatest Adventure

Ink: Night of Navy, Berry Burst

Paper: Crumb Cake, Berry Burst, Basic White card stocks

Accessories: Transparent Adhesive Dots
