Double Design Team Post


Happy Saturday Everyone!
As you can see, my blog is kind of full today LOL! I hope it doesn't scare you away.....
My first card is for Jazzy Inspirations and we had to base our cards off the album posted above using the colors: pumpkin pie, rose red, elegant eggplant & kraft. We could also use white if we wanted to but Idecided to use very vanilla because I felt that it calmed these dangerous colors down LOL!! I had to use my fave set Heartfelt Thanks after seeing these colors because I feel that this set makes any color combination beautiful. I'm not sure if you can tell from the pic but I also stamped the purple using En Francais....I think it came out very elegant. As far as the sketch, I used Jen's SFYTT. Check it out and play along with us.....if I can make a card with these colors; I know you can!!!!!




This week we're featuring Angel Food Etsy's Shop. Aren't these some delicious looking cookies? They're so beautiful and yummy looking that I had to choose this pic as my inspiration piece for this week's Etsy Design post!!! I saw the colors in these gorgeous things and thought about Mercy's sketch too....what a nice combo!! Thanks Mercy! Wanna play with us? Browse through her SHOP, pick a picture to use as your inspiration & post on Ashley's blog. Very simple and I hope to see your pretty creations this week!!
Be sure and check out the rest of the design team's work and leave them some love. Keep next Saturday on your mind....we're having our blog hop with challenges & prizes! I'm sure everyone loves goodies so be sure to come play with us. Here's the links for you:

I bought an Ott Lite yesterday. I'm going to play with it's positioning a bit more but overall I think my pics look better in this light.....any opinions would be appreciated. Well, I need to get last minute details ready for my downline meeting today. I appreciate you stopping by and have a great rest of the day!
TTFN,

  1. Jackie! You just keep amazing me! These are gorgeous! I love the "Love" card, but then, I'm definitely a pastel person!

    I'm dying for an Ott light! Heck, I need a digital camera first!!! LOL!

    Question: How did you get your Jazzy Inspiration "inspiration" picture small? When I upload a sketch or the sample of what was my base, it comes out the same size! Thanks for the help!

    Have a wonderful weekend!

  3. Jackie,

    I think you did a great job on both of your Inspiration Cards. They both fit the inspiration pieces well!!!

    Great Job!!

    Your Etsy card is so soft and pretty, yet involved enough to be really creative and hip!!!

  12. That's a great color combo. The purple would have scared me away. I rarely use it because it's so bold.

    I really like the spring-y feel of your second card with those yummy colors.
