SSNOTIME80*** FORGET THOSE RULES***


Do you remember when we were taught not to mix patterns when we dressed ourselves?? Never wear plaid and stripes! Never wear stripes and dots!! Well this week Sharon's STAMP SIMPLY CHALLENGE is all about throwing those rules right out with the bath water...

Find all those pieces of wonderful patterned paper that have stripes and dots and use them together with other patterned paper or with each other*** Have fun with this one!!


We say TTFN to Barb Schram who was out guest designer for March and say hello to Jenny Gropp who will be us for April... She is One Krafty Kat!!!


Check out Sharon's site HERE for all the details and the links to all the other designer's creations.
My card showcases this wonderful designer paper from My Mind's Eye!! How simple!! Dots on one side and stripes on the other... Perfect! The flower image is from Kim Hughes, colored very quickly with Lyra pencils and gamsol... A bit of ribbon, a gemstone and Bob's your uncle!!!
Have a fabulous weekend everyone and thanks so much for stopping in***

Very cute card, Janine! Love your color combo and your coloring is great, as always. Congrats on your Copic certification - that's now another thing we have in common! Oh, and Jenny is one of my Krafty Kats stamping buddies. Having dinner with her tonight, as a matter of fact. How's that for a small world? Hope you have a great weekend!

Amazing! This is a tricky challenge for me, since I can rarely figure out which 2 SOLID colours will look good together, let alone throwing patterns into the mix, but life is about challenging yourself, so if the kids will let me, I'll be giving this one a shot today!! Truly, you are a pro!!
