LET THE SUN SHINE! — Today’s challenge is all about the color YELLOW. Yellow is a very much underutilized color in my stamp room and it is SO sunny and cheerful. So today let’s LET THE SUN SHINE by incorporating as much yellow as we can into our projects. That’s it — no other rules — let’s just see some sunshiny yellow creations!

Heres mysunshiny yellow creationfor today:

A yellow and simply stamped creation! A simple, easy and fun birthday card with a bit of POP!!! That fun DP is a pad I picked up at Michaels — Que Sera Sera by K & Co. The birthday sentiment is one of the soon to be shipped items by JustRite, shipping on 5/10. It’s called Birthday Wishes Set and has 6 fun birthday borders and centers. It fits on the new 2 3/8″ Wood Stamper. I just simply stamped mine and matted it with Nestabilities. My card is a standard size with the sentiment mounted a bit above. The Fuchsia Silk is from my Stamp Simply Ribbon Store, and it’s just knotted, nothing fancy!

Thanks much for stopping in. It’s been a busy week and that will continue through the weekend. Our oldest son graduates from college on Saturday so there’s a lot on this weekend’s agenda! Hope you can create a sun shiny yellow project, or do whatever it is that pleases you this weekend! Have a great one! See you soon!!!

Truly — No Time To Stamp! But I “needed” to make something tonight, and I did it without much stamping at all — again relying on my Cotton Scraps and a few pretty things. Here it is:

Another quick card, and it seems that’s all I’m doing lately! My Cotton Scrap is from Feathered Friends, one of your favorites, and to aid in speed, I merely cut it out with dressmaker pinking shears. I left the paper backing on to give it more body. After my silk was wrapped around the script panel, I adhered my Cotton Scrap with a heavy double sided tape. Again, my Taupe Silk is wrapped around the panel, attached on the back. I then took another length of Taupe Silk, ran it under the band and tied my bow. Such an easy way to get a pretty bow that ends up being straight.

Go back up and check out my cute button! It’s just an old button from my box, but I just got some new strings in 9 colors and have added them to the Stamp Simply Ribbon Store. I love them. Last week 2 of you asked me on the same day about strings for buttons, so I knew I had to get them, and I love them. They are so easy to thread though the button holes and tie off. This is just a neutral color, but I can’t wait to try the pink!!! Once I was getting strings, I got some cords as well — in 7 colors — those will be fun, too, on masculine themed or natural type cards. They are in the Stamp Simply Ribbon Store as well.
