TGIF Challenge & Rooted in Nature

I have been scrapbooking for a long time (like over 15 years type of long time).  Years ago I was all over the place completing challenges here and there and loved every minute of it.  I find challenges super inspiring and they really get you using the products you have as opposed to those products just decorating your scrap room.

Now I have known for a long time that there were amazing challenge blogs out there for card making and even ones focused on Stampin' Up! but I've never looked into it  Strange I know, I have poked around and found a few blogs I'm really interested in following.  I decided to participate in the challenges they post and get back into having the fun I used to have.

So first up is the blog TGIF Challenges!  here's a pic of the sketch challenge they have on this week (deadline to enter is Thursday, May 17, 2018 - 10:00 am PST)


Loved this sketch and thought it was perfect to use with the new bundle Rooted in Nature coming out in Stampin' Up's new annual catalog on June 1, 2018.

I used inspiration from some cards I saw using this set on Pinterest (my fav place to go for inspiration).  Here's what I came up with:




What I used:
  1. Rooted in Nature Bundle;
  2. Blueberry Bushel (New in colour and one of my fav Stampin' Up! colours);
  3. Crumb Cake cardstock;
  4. Wood textures designer series paper;
  5. Linen Thread; and
  6. Leaves Trinkets
I love making a card and focusing on one colour, it shows how versatile our products can be and that you don't have to have every ink colour.

Hope you enjoy and thank you for stopping by - Check out TGIF Challenges and give it a try yourself!
