Fab Friday 38

It’s the most wonderful day of the week! It’s Friday! LOL! Are you all ready for the weekend?! I have no definite plans but that can be good right?! I had a good day yesterday and after work I went over to have dinner with Heather. It was very nice, candlelight and all the trimmings. We had some salad, vegetable lasagna and wine. The conversation is always the best and we always end up laughing, a lot! Heather definitely is good people and a great prelude to my Friday!

Today is really great because it’s time for Fab Friday! This time around we have an interesting color challenge for you…

I did look at this for a few days before I decided what I was going to do but once I did it all fell into place nicely. The card base is Very Vanilla Card Stock (it’s well hidden though!) and is only 4″ wide. I need to leave a little room for my flower to hang off the side. My background is a thin piece of Venetian Romance Designer Series Paper and a piece of Baked Brown Sugar, popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals, is adhered above and below. I used some Gold Foil Sheet for the flagged piece and the flower that is punched out with the Petite Petals Punch. My tag is a piece of Sahara Sand with a piece of Linen Thread through the top. The greeting is from the Perfect Pennants Stamp Set and is heat embossed in Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder. Stampin’ Dimensionals also adhere that to the card. Next up is a piece of Very Vanilla that I stamped with the Background Builders Stamp Set in Pistachio Pudding. I then stamped one of the greetings from the Really Good Greetings Stamp Set in Baked Brown Sugar. My gold flower has the petals slightly bent up and three Basic Jewels Pearls are in the center. To complete my card I used a sprinkling of gold sequins. I actually really love the colors together with the gold and the layout of the card is fun! I really hope that you enjoyed my Design Team card for the Fab Friday color challenge. Go on over to the BLOG and see what my talented teammates have for inspiration for you and enter your card in the gallery. I thank you for stopping by today and wish you all a Fabulous Friday! 🙂

Fab Friday 37

Oh yes people… it’s my favorite day of the week! Indeed it’s FRIDAY! Woo hoo! I’m so glad that this week is over! It was a long one but soon we will be done with work and sliding right into the weekend! Tonight I will be going to Friday’s with Danielle, Anthony and Bill for dinner. Danielle was intrigued by the fact that some of the burgers there come with endless fries. I guess I might have to skip dessert if that is the case! I’m thinking I will be heading into Manhattan on Sunday for a bit, hopefully the weather will be good so I can wander for a while. It was bitterly cold here today with 40+ MPH winds. I felt like I was in the movie Twister! LOL! At least we didn’t get the snow/rain they had predicted. Always a bright side, that’s the best way to look at things don’t you agree? What’s on for you this weekend?!

Today really is a great Friday because it’s time for the Fab Friday challenge. This time around we have a very interesting sketch for you…

I will admit that I puzzled over this for a while, all I could see were the speech bubbles! After some time I saw it as a layout and then I knew just what I wanted to do! Remember that I told you I have like 1000 Tangerine hexagons?! Well, I got to use a few! My card base is Tangerine Tango Card stock and the background is a piece of paper from the Retro Fresh Designer Series Paper Pack. All of the Tangerine Tango hexagons are cut out with the Hexagon Hive Thinlits Die and adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The greeting is from the Six Sided Sampler Stamp Set and is stamped in Tangerine Tango and punched out with the Hexagon Punch. It too is adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I love the retro-modern feel of the card, sort of reminds me of design from the 60’s. The Tangerine definitely helps with that! Can’t you just hear the music from Austin Powers playing?!?! Show us some love over at Fab Friday by heading over to the blog to see what the other Designers have for you as inspiration and enter your card in the gallery so we can see your ideas! I hope that my card inspired you and I thank you for coming by to see it. Have a FABULOUS FRIDAY my friends! 🙂

Fab Friday 36

Once again people, it is my favorite day of the week… FRIDAY!!!!! It seemed to take a little longer to get here this week, but I’m happy we have arrived. We had two snow squalls here today. If you follow me on Instagram (@jrk912), I uploaded a video of one of them. It was a brisk 9° when I woke up this morning and we are supposed to hit a high of a whopping 21 today! I would like my 58° back from last weekend please. Tomorrow morning I’m off to Manhattan for a little while. If I can manage to take my hands out of my pockets while walking around, I’ll be sure to take some pictures for you to enjoy!

What makes this Friday more awesome than last Friday? It’s time for the next Fab Friday challenge! This time around we have a color challenge for you…

If you pay close attention to the colors, they are actually in the Kaleidoscope Designer Series Paper. Remember yesterday when I said that I tried something new, that something new was using Embossing Paste. My card base is a piece of Bermuda Bay Card Stock and the background is a piece of Basic Black. The honeycomb pattern on the Basic Black is created by using the Hexagon Hive Thinlits Die to cut out a piece of card stock that I used temporary adhesive to adhere to the background. I tinted the Embossing Paste with Crushed Curry Re-Inker and then used a credit card to spread it over the Die Cut. Once it was covered, I removed the Die Cut and let it dry. The flowers are from the Simple Stems Stamp Set, are stamped in Strawberry Slush on Whisper White and are cut out with the Secret Garden Framelits Dies. The butterfly is from the Nature’s Hello Host(ess) Stamp Set (apparently my stamp set of the week!), is stamped in Bermuda Bay and cut out with the Backyard Basics Framelits Dies. All of the flowers and the butterfly are adhered to the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Trying out the Embossing Paste was definitely an interesting experience but I think it came out pretty nice! Let me know what you think in the comments. So there is my Fab Friday card for the color challenge. Make sure you pay a visit to the blog to see what my fellow Design Team members have come up with and don’t forget to enter your card in the gallery as well! As always, I greatly appreciate you stopping by and I hope you have a fantastic Friday! 🙂

Fab Friday 35 & Happy Valentine’s Day!

Finally… it’s Friday! Yesterday was a real mess here weather wise. It started snowing at 12:30 Thursday morning and by the time I left to trek into the office we had about 8 inches. The flakes were so big that by the time you finished cleaning off the car you had to do it again! They did let us leave work at 11:45, I was the only one from my department that made it in, actually there were only about 15 people in the building yesterday. By the time I did leave work it was raining and continued to do that for most of the day. Below is a picture of what my ride to work looked like yesterday morning.

You can see how big the snowflakes are in the picture! We got another 3 inches last night, hopefully it’s done now!

Another great thing about this Friday is it’s time for Fab Friday! This week I’m happy to announce that my friend Brian King has joined the Design Team! Yeah! To start him off we have a sketch for you…

The doily was there so I had to use it but I tried to step outside the box for the rest of the card. My card base is Smoky Slate Card Stock. I created a frame from a piece of Soft Suede and Crushed Curry and adhered a piece of Pear Pizzaz Taffeta Ribbon around the bottom. Before I adhered the frame to the card I used a piece of the Afternoon Picnic Designer Series Paper and two pieces of Pear Pizzaz that I cut out with the Little Leaves Sizzlit. My flowers are from the Simple Stems Stamp Set and are stamped in Wisteria Wonder and cut out with the Secret Garden Framelits. The frame and flowers are adhered to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals and my greeting is from the Express Yourself Host(ess) Stamp Set and is stamped in Soft Suede. My Stamp-a-ma-jig assures precise placement! I really do like the mix of colors inspired by the Afternoon Picnic DSP. I needed a touch of spring after today! LOL! There you have my Design Team card for the Fab Friday challenge. Check out the blog and see what Brian and the other Design Team members have done with the sketch and show us what you have done by entering your card in the gallery. Thanks for checking and enjoy your Valentine’s Day! Oh, I almost forgot, if you scroll down to the bottom of the post there is a bonus card! A little love from me to you! 🙂

Fab Friday 34

It’s Friday! Thank the lord! This week has been a not that great week at work. We have the Job Fair at the college this morning and I need to be there at 7:00. I was working on three different projects all at the same time yesterday, if I was a computer my processor would be fried! LOL! But today will be a good day, I will make it a good day! How’s that for some positive thoughts! I also got to see my buddy Andrew last night, always a nice way to end the day! And you guys always brighten my day with your comments. Danielle wanted me to thank you all for your lovely comments about her card. She showed everyone at work yesterday, she was so proud! Making peoples days brighter, that is what my amazing blog readers do! 🙂

It has been a few week’s but we’re back! It’s time for the Fab Friday challenge!! This week we have a fun color combo for you…

As I looked at I thought… those colors look familiar, where have I… ahh… the Fresh Prints Designer Series Paper Stack (Cue lightbulb above head! LOL!). The base of my card is Whisper White Card Stock. I used a few different patterns from the Fresh Prints Designer Series Paper Stack for my strips. The Crumb Cake Circle is punched out with the 2 1/2″ Circle Punch. My flowers are from the Simple Stems Stamp Set and are stamped in Pool Party and Real Red. Have you noticed that when I use this DSP I have a mental block?! I always want to use Pool Party instead of Coastal Cabana! I actually do like the Pool party for the flower though! My greeting, from the Express Yourself Host(ess) Stamp Set, is stamped Versa-Mark and White Stampin’ Emboss Powder on a piece of Real Red with flagged ends. A few Basic Jewel Rhinestones scattered around complete the card. Not overly complicated but I really do like the layering. And there you have my first Design Team card for the Fab Friday challenge for 2014! Pay a visit to the blog and see what my fellow design Team members have come up with and enter your card in the gallery for us to see! Thank you so much for checking in, you guys really do make my day and I hope that you all have a fabulous Friday! 🙂

Fab Friday 33 & Sneak Peek

Friday! Friday! FRIDAY!!!!! Yes, kids, it’s Friday. You know I loves me some Friday! And boy am I glad that this week is done! The weekend holds a lot of stuff for me to do, though. I need to put up my tree, make my Christmas cards, work on my presentation and attend a party on Saturday night. Good luck to me! What’s on for your weekend?

The best part about this Friday is that it’s Fab Friday! This week we have a nice simple sketch…

My card is very clean and simple compared to what you’ve seen on my blog lately. The base of my card is Sahara Sand Card Stock. I used the Banners Framelits Dies* to cut out two pieces of Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper** and two pieces of Crisp Cantaloupe to go behind the face of my “ribbon”. My stamped image is from the Starburst Sayings Stamp Set*, stamped in Summer Starfruit and cut out with the Starburst Framelits Dies*. I stamped it again in Pool Party and cut out the word “world” and popped it up with some Stampin’ Dimensionals. A piece of Basic Black cut out with the same framelits goes behind and that completes the card! I hope you enjoyed my simple card with some more sneak peeks for you today! Don’t forget to stop by the Fab Friday blog to see what my Design Team cohorts have done with the sketch and upload your card into the gallery so we can see your take on it. Have a fabulous Friday!

Happy Black Friday! Did you do any midnight shopping? I was good and stayed home, I had too much other stuff going on yesterday! I finished cutting out the pieces for the additional bookmarks for work, I just have to assemble them this morning. I also didn’t end up staying home for Thanksgiving. My good friend Sandy invited me to her house for dinner with her family. I had a wonderful time and she is an amazing cook. I don’t think I will have to eat at all today! LOL! I hope that all of you had a very nice Thanksgiving too!

Not only is today Black Friday but it’s also time for Fab Friday! This time around we have a color combo for you…

I had a vision of what I wanted my card to look like, I just had no idea how much I would end up pulling out to get it that way! My card base is Coastal Cabana Card Stock and the background is a piece of Real Red that I embossed with the Stylish Stripes Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Next up I flagged a piece of Gumball Green and adhered it to the base with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Now for the collage which starts off with a Tea Lace Paper Doily. I used some old and some new stamps to create the collage and whole bunch of punches! In there are stamps from the “Vintage” Tags ‘Til Christmas, Best of Christmas, Very Merry Tags, “Vintage” Stitched Stockings and Festive Flurry Stamp Sets and the Christmas Tagables Photopolymer Stamp Set. To punch them out I used the “Vintage” Large Tag, Ornament and Stocking Builder, Decorative Label, Petite Curly Label, Mosaic, Christmas Ornament, 7/8″ Scallop Circle and 1″ Circle Punches. Now that’s a lot of punches and stamps! LOL! They are all stamped in Coastal Cabana, Real Red and Gumball Green. Oh, and there is a snowflake from the Festive Flurry Stamp Set cut out with the Festive Flurry Framelits peeking out too! I really do love the randomness of the collage look and yes, it’s a lot of product but it’s also a lot of fun! Thank you for checking in with me to see my Design Team card for the Fab Friday color challenge. Head on over to the blog to see what my talented teammates have done with the colors and enter one of your creations in the gallery so we can see your take! I hope that you enjoy your shopping if you are doing any and have a Fab Friday! 🙂

Fab Friday 31

Hello my blog peeps! How is everything going? Work was beyond irritating today. We had a presentation at one of our other offices. I had asked if there was a projector there and I was told there was, but when I got there, no projector! The day started off badly and just spiraled out of control from there. However, the day ended with some fun news. I became an uncle for the first time!! 😀 Happy birth day to Daniel Steven! Congratulations to my brother Jason and his wife Erika!!

Kind of cute, isn’t he?!

And today, wait… today’s FRIDAY!! Woo hoo! And it’s an extra good Friday because it’s Fab Friday! This week we have a sketch with a big tag on it…

I decided that since I bought the Typeset Alphabet Bigz Dies that I should really be using them more. My card today contains red and green for all of you traditionalists and some sequins for my friend Karen. The base of my card is Gumball Green Card Stock. My background is a piece of Crumb Cake that I embossed with the Pretty Print Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Before I adhered it to the card I put a piece of Silver 1/8″ Ribbon around the bottom. My tag is cut from a piece of Real Red Card Stock. The JOY part of the greeting is cut out using the Typeset Alphabet Bigz Dies from Silver Glimmer Paper and the “to the world” is heat embossed with Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder from the Joy to the World Stamp Set. Another piece of Silver Glimmer Paper goes across the bottom of the tag and 5 Silver Sequins help add to the bling! Finally, some more Silver 1/8″ Ribbon is tied through the tag. There is a little something for everyone on this card: traditional Christmas colors, some Glimmer Paper, a few sequins, a touch of heat embossing and some ribbon. Thank you very much for stopping by today to see my Design Team card for this week’s Fab Friday sketch challenge. Head on over to the blog to see what my talented Design Teammates have come up with and post your card in the gallery so you can be a Fab Fave! I hope you all enjoy your Friday as much as I know I will! 🙂

Fab Friday 30

If you are reading this post, it means I’ve successfully gotten up on time to be at the college for work at 6:45 AM. My usual commute time is 10 minutes but this morning it’s been extended to 45, which does not make me a happy person. Thus, my usual enthusiasm for Friday is at a lull today. Hopefully I’ll make it through the day and I’ll be able to post again tomorrow. Only time will tell. LOL! My apologies once again for yesterday’s mishap with my mixed up stamp sets. Thanks again to Mary for pointing it out!

There is one good thing about today, it’s Fab Friday! This week we have a timely fall color challenge for you…

The base of my card is Early Espresso Card Stock. To create the background I used my Window Sheet mask and I sponged some Crushed Curry onto Very Vanilla. It’s mounted to a piece of Crushed Curry and then adhered to the card base. My three ornaments are from the Christmas Collectibles Stamp Set and are stamped in Early Espresso, Cajun Craze and Old Olive. They are all punched out with the Christmas Ornament punch and adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Down in the right corner is the greeting from my new favorite stamp set, the Endless Wishes Photopolymer Stamp Set. I stamped it in Old Olive and Cajun Craze. I really do like the sunburst effect and apparently I’m not the only one that likes the Endless Wishes set because it’s on backorder! Thanks very much for coming by today to see my Design Team card for this week’s Fab Friday color challenge. Be sure to stop by the blog and see what the other talented designers have come up with. Don’t forget to enter your card so we can see your take! Have a fabulous Friday!

Today is going to be the longest day of the year! I think I mentioned that I’m working from 8:00am until 1:00am tomorrow right?! Yesterday was another beautiful day, warm and sunny and then it rained briefly last night. Today we are supposed to get back to the fall feel temperature wise. I need to do some organization over the weekend. There is way too much stuff all over the place. What good things are you guys up to over the weekend?

Every other Friday means it’s time for the Fab Friday challenge. This time, we have a fun sketch for you…

Do you see the chevrons? I loves me some chevrons! LOL! My card base is Cherry Cobbler Card Stock. The main panel is a piece of paper from the Winter Frost Designer Series Paper Stack backed by a piece of Island Indigo. Some Cherry Cobbler punched out with the Chevron Border Punch is adhered across the panel. The greeting and stamped chevrons across the bottom are from the A Banner Christmas Stamp Set. The ornament is from the Best of Christmas Stamp Set and is stamped in Island Indigo and punched out with the Christmas Ornament Punch. And there you have it, a nice simple card for a nice simple sketch. I appreciate you stopping by to see my Fab Friday card!
