MEFY Reveal - Colour Challenge

Hello my friends!

Happy Monday

Welcome to this week's Made Especially For You designer reveal!

The challenge this week is sponsored by My Heart Pieces ... and we have been challenged to create a card inspired by the following colour combination.

And this is my take on the challenge!

I used the pinks and peaches from this colour combo!  I love the soft colours!

A little twine, a clear button and some stickers are the perfect easy embellishment!

Don't forget to head over to the Made Especially For You blog to see the rest of the design team creations and to play along yourself!

Deep in Thought!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Classy!

MEFY Telephone Blog Hop!

Welcome to Made Especially For You's 

Telephone Blog Hop!
 

If you've never heard of the "Telephone" game it's a game most often played by kids that simulates how a story can change from person to person, or how a rumor can start. For example, I may tell Susie that at lunch today I had a peanut butter sandwich, an apple, and some milk, and she may go tell Jackie that I had a turkey sandwich, an apple, and some milk. Although only one small detail was changed, over time the entire story can change. The game is played by starting with a story and whispering it from one person to the next in a circle and seeing how the story changed once the last person has told it. 

We decided to play this game as a design team, not with stories, but with cards! Our DT leader Ashley started with a photo of a card, emailed it to someone, who then created a card based off her card, and sent a photo of it to the next person. As a design team, this is the first time we're seeing the progression of the cards! 

Here is the photo of the card I received from Ashley:

 

And here is the card I created inspired by her card:

 

 

As you can see, I was inspired by the shapes and the colours on this card!  I also really enjoyed the "corner" accents and the button embellishment!

 

What fun is a blog hop without blog candy?! A couple of our design team members have donated some blog candy for those who comment on EVERY stop of the hop!

MEFY Reveal - Mist

Hello my friends!

Happy Monday

Welcome to this week's Made Especially For You designer reveal!

The challenge this week is sponsored by Paper Piecings by Nikki ... and we have been challenged to create a card using mist.

I chose to use mist for a simple way to create a background piece of paper for my card.

To accent my card, I've used some washi tape plus a few chipboard pieces!  I've even sewed around the edge for an added impact!

Don't forget to head over to the Made Especially For You blog to see the rest of the design team creations and to play along yourself!

ScrapMuch? Sketch-Y Friday Reveal - Card Sketch!!

Happy Friday!

Yeah! Time for another ScrapMuch? Sketch-Y Friday reveal!!!!

Check out ScrapMuch? for the challenge details ... basically you have the rest of October to play along and if you enter 2 challenges this month --- you'll be entered in a random drawing for an awesome scrappy prize!!

This week's sketch is another oh so wonderful sketch by the talented Laura Whitaker.

It's a card sketch this week!

And this is my take on the sketch!

I used a lot of stickers on this card ... if you aren't a big sticker person, all you have to do is put the sticker on some cardstock, fussy cut it out and then you've got a die-cut instead of a sticker :)
