Hey my sweet stampin’ peeps! How is everyone doing? I hope you have had a great week. It’s Friday and that means it’s time for CREATIVE JUICE. Are you enjoying CREATIVE JUICE? Are you ready for Week #12? Good! Here we go! I am using the Hold on to Hope bundle today. Just in time for Easter!
Each week I serve you a big glass of CREATIVE JUICE to get your creative juices flowing. Let me share this week’s card inspiration.
- Get creative with your color combinations.
- Those ribbon could be a stamped boarder, washi tape, or a strip of Designer Paper.
You can print out the sketches each week OR you can save them to your computer. By doing this you will have sketch ideas at your fingertips, whenever you need them. Just click the pic to download or print it. Remember, you can always find them here if you go to the ‘Categories’ (located on the right side bar) and click on Creative Juice.
Here is what I came up with for today’s CREATIVE JUICE sketch…
The Woodland embossing folder lent itself nicely to this card.
I love the soft Pool Party and Chocolate Chip together.
I wanted to incorporate the framelits and the banner was perfect!
A little white organza ribbon and some Stampin’ Dimensionals and my card was done.
Here are the measurements for my CELEBRATING GOD’S CREATION card but remember, these measurements are not set in stone. Get creative with your measurements!
- Whisper White – 8 ½” x 5 ½”, score and fold at 4 ¼” and 2 ¼” x 3″
- Pool Party – 4″ x 5 ¼”
- Chocolate Chip – 2 ⅜” x 3 ⅛”
UGH! No, make that DOUBLE UGH! This weekend Mr. Awesome has some not-so-awesome plans for us…. TAXES. I think I would rather go in for a colonoscopy than to work on taxes.
I remember my parents working on their taxes when I was a kid. They rarely ever fought but they would say that tax time was the only time they would threaten divorce. They were kidding, of course, but let’s just say their hatred and frustration with doing taxes was passed onto me. Thanks Mom & Dad!
I am blessed that Mr. Awesome does all the work but when I hear the heavy sighs (you know the sighs I’m talking about, right? The ones you KNOW are directed at you?), I wish I had kept better books. I try, I really do! I do think this year will be easier since we switched to QuickBooks. We will know for sure after the weekend.
PRAY FOR ME, MY FRIENDS!!!!!! It’s tax time!!!!! If I’m back on Monday, you’ll know I survived.
Hope you all have a fantastic weekend! Spend some time stamping this weekend (avoid taxes and do something fun). I have a new MAKE IT MONDAY tutorial for you next week AND the rewinds of this week’s Facebook Live One Sheet Wonder.
