Seasonal Frame Series

Here is the January piece for my Seasonal Frame series. It is made with the Ice Cream Parlor DSP & Quick Accents Pack that is featured in our Sale-a-Bration catalog. (Sale-a-Bration starts on Janury 25th this year!) It is full of flowers and cheery colors. I had to get a bit creative to make it look wintry! I think it turned out well.

The colors used are Pacific Point, Marina Mist, Bashful Blue, Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo, Pretty in Pink, Pink Pirouette, Old Olive, Peach Parfait (InColor) and Pumpkin Pie.

I used a couple of retired sets for the stamped snowflakes and some words. The cute little penguin is from Every Little Bit. "January" comes from the Full Calendar set.

A couple squares have Moonlight Smooch Pearlized Accent Ink on them. The snowflake on the top right is painted in Smooch, as well as the white circle in the bottom row. It really made it shimmer!

I am considering doing this as a cyclical class, meaning that I will just keep doing these frames all year, every year and you can dive into the series at any time. If you are interested in joining us, please let me know.

Happy Stampin'!

January Birthday Card Bonanza

Happy New Year! This is my first post of 2011, and the first post with my new PC! Prayers and positive vibes are still welcomed and needed for my old hard drive.

Here is this month's card for Birthday Card Bonanza. We'll start at 7PM tomorrow night, Friday, January 7th. This card features Nature Walk, a new stamp set in our awesome new Occasions Mini Catalog. There is a lot of watercoloring and sponging going on with this card, so be prepared!

Let me know how many cards you'd like to make. You can use any greeting I have available, in case you need cards for occasions other than a birthday.

The cost is just $1 for each card you make, including the envelope.

See you tomorrow!
