Stampers Showcase 235

It was certainly a busy week of stamping after the holidays! Thanks for joining us this week! Here are your operator picks for sketch 235. See you later on for another cool sketch!

Color Inspiration #166

Happy New Year!!!!

On the first Thursday of the month I am honored to post the Stamping 411 Color Inspiration Challenge. This month I wanted to play with some of my favorite colors. The colors are Pool Party, Island Indigo, Calypso Coral and Lucky Limeade.

It's been a while since I've posted a four color challenge. So, with the new year, it just seemed like the right time.

Here's a card I've made with these colors.........

It felt good to play with the Delicate Doilies stamp stamp again. I hate to report that I've been neglecting it lately.

The images are stamped on a coffee filter. Once stamped, I crumpled it up into a ball, then smoothed it out and glued it onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock using a glue stick!! What a fun way to use up those extra coffee filters that's been laying around since we bought our Keurig.

Do you know what else is fun? Playing along with the Stamping 411 challenges, of course!!!!

It's easy to do! Just make a project using these colors, post it to your blog or online site and copy the web address of that project to the Linky Tool at the bottom of the post. That's it....easy peasy!

Saturday Sketch Challenge 235

Good Evening Friends!

We hope that you had a wonderful holiday filled with joy and look forward to 2012! Can you believe it's already time to ring in a new year?

On a personal note, operator Gretchen Barron had surgery this past Thursday to remove a tumor from her leg. When she woke up from the surgery and was finally out of pain, she cried tears of joy! Her recovery period is expected to be six weeks. If you have a moment, please wish her well by leaving her a comment. We look forward to welcoming her back when she is ready.

So how about some potential measurements for this week's sketch?
Base: 11 x 4 1/4", scored and folded in half at 5 1/2"
Layer 2: Consider this! 4 1/4" x 2 3/4", you would not have any waste and get 8 per sheet!
Layer 3: 4 x 2 1/2"

Above all, thanks for playing along and have fun! To get specific measurements from each of the operators, just click the link below their card. :D
