Paper Smooches Sparks Trend Watch: August 2012

So I'm back from my exciting day and got right into my craft room. I will share some pics with you and tell you all about it, probably tomorrow, so stay tuned! In the meantime, I wanted to make sure I get entered into this week's Paper Smooches Sparks challenge with this card:



This week's challenge was to make a travelicious card.




So for Paper Smooches stamps, I used 3 sets: "Get Outta Town," "Metropolis," and "Alphadot." The United States is from an Amuse set. That cute little Bingo card I got today at Absolutely Everything it is from Simple Stories. There are a bunch of different cards on one 12x12 sheet.


The houndstooth paper is from My Mind's Eye. The cardstock is PTI. I also used the PTI double ended banner die for the "travels" sentiment which I created using Alphadot letters.


Phillip laughed saying that the mountains don't go there, but those who know me know geography is not my strong suit...at least I got the palm trees and NYC in the right general area ;)


This card took me a long time to make, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. It is not CAS by any means, but definitely fun (and we know after this morning that CAS is not that easy for me!) I hope you all had a wonderful weekend :)

  5. This is so cute. I think you are pretty good about geography. You got the Rocky Mountains in the middle, and most importantly, the hot air balloons right over San Diego.

  8. Jessica, another amazing card! Those mountains have to much personality...but I have to disagree with Joyce, the hot air balloon should be above San Francisco....
