Blog Candy Winner: Jamie B!

In an act of true Serendipity (and thanks to Random.org for generating the random number 56 for the winning comment), Jamie B is the winner of my Blog Candy from the Royal Blog Tour! It is "Serendipitous" because Jamie lives less than one mile from my home :)

Thank you to everyone who visited and commented! Here is one more sample from the On a Pedestal stamp set to keep your creative juices flowing. Please stop by again soon!

The colors I used on this card are So Saffron, Cameo Coral, Rose Red, Garden Green and Certainly Celery...a combination found on the Stampin' Up! Color Coach (Item 105796, $9.95).

Royal Blog Tour

Welcome to Utah, blog travelers! I am delighted to introduce you to the new Stampin' Up! set On a Pedestal! The 2009-10 In-Color palette seemed to compliment the "party" feeling, so I used Bermuda Bay, Melon Mambo, Rich Razzleberry and Crushed Curry for these cards:

For this pull-up card, I added a sentiment from the Chit Chat rub-ons...isn't it cute? Below is the surprise you find when you pull it up :)As another SWEET treat for stopping by, leave a comment along with your e-mail address and you can be entered to win my BLOG CANDY: the Spring Solitude stamp set and co-ordinating Solitude wheel (retired but brand new). I appreciate comments from everyone, but the drawing will be open to non-SU demos only and only to U.S. visitors but if you are a sister demonstrator or from another country feel free to comment anyway and indicate SU Demo/or country!

Happy stamping and visit anytime you need a shot of creative juice!

In Color Spotlight: Bermuda Bay

Ahhh, Bermuda Bay is the essential color of summer and I LOVE both the color AND this new stamp, Medallion. I tried putting a greeting on it, but it just doesn't need it :) The Bermuda Bay patterned paper is found in the "Thoroughly Modern" Designer Series Paper package. Simple? Yes. Beautiful? Definitely.

In-Color Spotlight: Crushed Curry

Flashback to the colors of the 70's: Crushed Curry brings back happy memories of Tupperware parties, the music of the Carpenters and shag carpeting! Paired with black, it felt like my great-grandma's kitchen:Paint with a little bleach and it will wash out the color, then pull out the sewing machine for the detail on the side! I'm off to see Harry Potter! See you tomorrow...

Edit: Sorry I forgot to say that this set is a new Hostess Level 1 set, Country Morning!
