You're My Kind of Peep

It's time for another Friday Mashup but before I get into the challenge details I have to announce that after 5 yrs The Friday Mashup will be closing it's doors. The creator, Holly, has a lot on her plate right now and feels that the challenge has run it's course. Family comes first so I support Holly 100% and I am very thankful that she asked me to be on the team when the Mashup first started and has kept me on this entire time. I've learned so much over the years and have had a blast, so thank you Holly for everything!

For our last challenge we have a sketch along with an Easter theme. If you are like me and do not celebrate Easter than just use chicks or bunnies on your project!

For my card I used stamps and paper from last month's Simon Says Stamp card kit. I love peeps, I could eat a large box of them in one sitting, so I used the peep stamps to create my card. I kept the card simple, adding a few sequins to finish it off.

Make sure you head over to The Friday Mashup blog to see what the rest of the DT came up with and then join us for our last challenge!

  • Create a Project with an "Easter theme or Chicks & Bunnies" . 
  • or Create a Project using the above "Sketch".
  • or Mash it Up and create an Easter project using the Sketch above.

Hello Friend for Friday Mashup!

Whew, what a week it's been! I went to the eye doctor on Weds and found out I get to get bifocals, yeah me LOL I've never worn glasses before so this will be a change for me! On Weds I also had to take my husband to get a rental car....on his way home Tues night a young moose jumped out in front of him and he hit it. The moose and our Ford Escape did not survive the collision, although thankfully my husband is just fine! Hubby did come home with a new car tonight but I'll share that in a few more days :)

Believe it or not but the insurance co totaled the car! She was a good car, lots of great memories the last 8 yrs. RIP!
 Moose hair stuck in the front end and the windshield :( We're thankful hubby didn't have any of the kids as passengers when he hit the moose. There are glass fragments all over the inside of the car.




A great thing about Friday is the  Friday Mashup! The challenge now runs for 2 weeks so there is plenty of time to Mash it Up....heck, play along with us several times if you can! This week at The Friday Mashup we have a color challenge, plus we want you to use any shimmer based item on your project...it would be Wink of Stella, Shimmer Paint, watercolors, etc. Unfortunately the only Wink of Stella I have right now is a bright red, my clear ran out, so I did not mash it up this week :(

On my card I used the top 2 colors and then the 4th color....I translated them into the SU colors Bermuda Bay, Melon Mambo and Blushing Bride. 

My card base is Blushing Bride and on that I used one of the stamps from the SU Gorgeous Grunge set and stamped it in Blushing Bride across the base. I used a circle from the MFT Zig Zag Stitched set and stamped the "Hello" in Bermuda Bay and the "friend" in Melon Mambo. I created the banners with some retired SU DSP.

Make sure you head over to The Friday Mashup blog to see what the rest of the DT created and then play along with us!

Stencil Birthday for Friday Mashup

This week at The Friday Mashup it's all about stencils and birthdays! I pulled out some MFT products to create my card.

I made my background using the Large Grid stencil and ink from SU. I took a sponge and just sponged the colors back and forth across the stencil until I got the look I desired. The bunnies and sentiment are from the BB Somebunny set from MFT. I just think these little bunnies are so adorable! I colored them with Copics and adhered them to the sentiment panel with dimensionals. To finish the card off I added some enamel dots from Doodlebug.

Head on over to The Friday Mashup to see what the rest of the DT came up with and then play along with us!

Pizza My Heart for FM

It's Friday, woohooo! I am so glad this week has come to an end, it's been a busy one! Today is even more special because it's my 22nd wedding anniversary. I can't believe it's been 22 yrs! It's been quite the ride and I look forward to the next 22 with my hubby!

Today's Friday Mashup is perfect for my special day....it's either about creating a project for your Valentine or create a project featuring a candy image. We don't do Valentine's Day in my house but hubby is my love so we'll go with the general love theme.

I don't have any candy images so I used a new set from Lawn Fawn called Pizza My Heart. Pizza is very popular in my house and while my husband, daughter and nephew love all kinds of stuff on their pies me and the other kids like good ol' pepperoni, so that's the pizza I made. I did some basic coloring with copics and then popped with pizza up on an embossed panel.

My layout was inspired by the current Freshly Made Sketch, although I had to make all my elements bigger than what the sketch called for due to the size of my sentiment.

Head on over to The Friday Mashup to see what the rest of the design team came up with and then play along with us!


  • Create a project for your Valentine.

Going to the Zoo

If you've been played along with The Friday Mashup for a while you'll know that Heidi always gives us a Chinese New Year challenge. This year Feb.8 is the Chinese New Year and its the year of the Monkey. Heidi wants us to use monkeys or any other zoo animal on our project, plus create a project with a fancy fold.

I'm running behind so I didn't do the fancy fold part, I just did the zoo animals. I used a set from MFT called Sweet Safari to create my scene. Both the lion and the monkey were colored with copics and then fussy cut out. I used MFTs Tall Grassy Edge for my border and a square from the Zig Zag Stitched set for the background. The sentiment reads "Roar! Wild About You".

I'm also entering this card into the MFT Sketch challenge, I was finally able to play along over there!

Head on over to The Friday Mashup to see what the rest of the DT came up with, and play along with us!

A Bit of Music for Friday Mashup

This week it's my turn to host at The Friday Mashup and I've got a sketch with a theme of music. Music plays a huge part in families life and it's just something that is really important to me. I have a soundtrack for every part of my life and my tastes range from day to day. Unfortunately I have no talent when it comes to musical instruments...I couldn't play my way out of a paper bag! I do have an aunt that is extremely talented though and I was thinking of her when I made this piano inspired card.

I used a template I found through Pinterest to create the shape of my piano. I then added the keys and other details and then popped it up against the background panels. I wanted to keep the whole thing pretty simple, letting the paper and the piano shape work together. I pulled out a Cuttlebug folder I've had forever to emboss the panels, I think that its the first time it's been used actually

You're a Rare Find

This week at The Friday Mashup we have a color challenge. I think I got most of the colors. I'm having a week from hell and I have to say my mind wasn't fully into this challenge, as I'm trying not to stress and blow a gasket over what I'm dealing with right now. Anyway....

I grabbed some items from Lawn Fawn to create my card. Yeti's are always good for a snowflake card! I embossed the Navy card stock with a falling snow folder and then used Lawn Fawn large stitched snowflakes in a slate gray to accompany the yeti. The yeti was colored in with gray copics.

Head on over to The Friday Mashup blog to see what the rest of the DT came up with and then play along with us!

  • Create a project featuring at least 3 of the colors above and Neutral of your choice
  • or Create a project featuring Snow/Snowflakes.

Superhero Layout for Friday Mashup

What better way to start the New Year than with a fun new challenge from the Friday Mashup! This one made me think but was really fun to work with.....This week the challenge is to create a project featuring super heroes, create a project with a comic book layout or do both. I mashed it up of course!

My husband and boys are all huge comic book geeks. I'm surrounded by comic books and super hero stuff everywhere in my house. My husband is a fountain of useless information when it comes to all things superhero/comics so I knew if I had any problems with this challenge I had the perfect people to go too with questions. 

The first thing I did was download Sandy Allnock's FREE comic book template. Some team members thought it was a bit too much to work with but I found the boxes the perfect guideline. After I printed the template out I actually cut out the boxes and then drew around them on another piece of paper so I could work outside the boxes. This allowed me to mask and erase pencil lines as I worked.

The set You're Super from MFT was perfect for this challenge. I grabbed the images, some post it notes and just started stamping and masking. After I got it all stamped I pulled out my copics and black pen and went to work adding details and coloring.

I love how this came out and when I put it to the test and showed the family it was met with rave reviews (and trust me, they will tell me when they don't like something!) so that made me happy!

I hope you'll head over to The Friday Mashup blog to see what the rest of the DT came up with an then play along with us! Because we have team members attending the CHA conference in CA this challenge will last for 2 weeks. We'll be back to our weekly schedule starting Jan.15.


This week's Mashup Challenge is:  

  • Create a project featuring Super Heroes. 
  • or Create a project with Storybook layout. 
  • or Mash it up! and create a Super Hero card using a Storybook Layout.

Sparkle and Shine for Friday Mashup

Well, another year is coming to an end and it is time for the last challenge of the year over at The Friday Mashup! I hope you have joined us throughout the year and had fun playing along!

Breelin is our last hostess of 2015 and she wants to see a New Year's themed project using the colors black, silver and gold. I had to think about this for a bit and ended up pulling out a stamp set from Simon Says Stamp called Sparkle and Shine. 

I stamped the circle image around the sentiment and then the sentiment in Versamark on Basic Black card stock and used a gold embossing powder to heat emboss those elements. I punched the circle out with the 2 1/2" inch circle punch and then also used that punch to create a circle from silver glimmer paper. The gold circle was created with a 1 3/4" circle punch. My card base is Basic Black and I used a die from the MFT Blueprints 15 to cut a panel from some retired Basic Black DSP. To finish off the card I added some silver stretch cord across the top.

My card is general enough where it will work for New Years or any other type of celebration!

Head over to The Friday Mashup blog to see our new blog design, check out what the rest of the DT came up with and then play along with us! This challenge will last for 2 weeks!

Christmas Cookies for Friday Mashup

Getting Thankful for Friday Mashup

This week at The Friday Mashup Heidi is our hostess. She has a fun sketch for us and would also like us to create a project with a thankful theme.

I used one of the images from SU's Thankful Forest Friends and colored it with various markers. I used the 2 1/2" circle punch to  cut it out and popped it up with dimensionals over the DSP. The simple sentiment is perfect for the busy DSP background.

Winter Ride for Friday Mashup

It's my turn to host at The Friday Mashup and this week I'd like to see winter projects using these colors: Mint, Pool, White and Slate. Winter is in full swing here in Alaska and I just love the soft colors of a snow covered landscape!

I had had this image of the sledding bear and rabbit left from the 30 day color challenge and so I grabbed it to make my card. The DSP behind the frame is Pool Party and I used Mint Macaron to stamp the sentiment across the card. The card base is Smoky Slate. The neutrals (and the pop of red) that were used to color in my image worked perfectly for the challenge! To finish it off I added a few sequins and voila, nice and easy card!

Make sure you head over to the Friday Mashup blog to check out all the great projects from the DT and then play along with us, I'd love to see your winter projects!

Color the Decade for Friday Mashup

This week at The Friday Mashup Tara is our hostess and she has a fun challenge for us....create a project based on a decade and also use color blocking.

I had to sit and think about the decade portion a bit. I was a child of the 80's, all the big hair and neon colors but I didn't want to go that route. I happened to be reading a book about WWII and some naval battles and I started thinking about the war period and how US women took on pivotal roles in the work force while men were at war across the globe. Of course the most famous image from that period is Rosie the Riveter,  and so that's what I decided to go with for my card.

For my color blocking I used Night of Navy and Hello Honey to mimic the colors that can be found in the Rosie the Riveter flyers. I paper pierced around the edges of each block and then adhered them to a Whisper White card base. I took a Rosie image from the net and printed it out on Whisper White cardstock and then popped that up with dimensionals across the blocks of color. To finish the card I off I stamped a sentiment from the retired hostess set Perfect Words, punched it out and adhered it at the top of the card.

The DT really came up with some fun cards this week so make sure to go check them all out at The Friday Mashup blog and then play along with us!

This week's Mashup Challenge:
  • Create a project using a Decades theme (60s/70s/80s/etc) .

Sketchy Leaves for Friday Mashup

It's time for a new Friday Mashup challenge and this week Holly is our hostess. She has a fun sketch for us, and would also like to see leaves on our projects. Here in my neck of the woods the leaves have been off the trees for about a month and we're supposed to have snow showers most of Friday! Wooohoooo for snow!

I used the small stitched leaves die from Lawn Fawn to cut shapes into a white panel. I cut the 3 leaves out of various DSP and then did the inlaid technique (which we did as part of a FM a few weeks ago). I used a green pen to create faux stitching around the leaves and for a border around the white piece. I then sponged the green color around the edges of the white panel.

The sentiment is from the Lawn Fawn set Thankful Mice and I used Doodlebug Sprinkles for embellishments.

Head on over to The Friday Mashup blog to see what the rest of the DT came up with and then play along with us!

Halloween Crazy for Friday Mashup

This week at The Friday Mashup we've got Halloween and ribbon for you to play along with!

Heidi recently gave us a watercolor mashup so I had played around and created a few extra backgrounds that I tucked away. As I was looking at them I thought they would go great for a Halloween card. I pulled out some of the Tim Holtz Bird Crazy images that I had colored and it was a perfect match! I love it when things come together like that!

Friendship and Donuts for Friday Mashup

This week at The Friday Mashup we're all about donuts/baked good along with a friendship theme. Perfect for this time of year when the weather cools and folks are baking and handing out yummy gifts to family and friends.

I didn't have any stamp set that really fit the baked good theme so of course I just had to buy one ;) I ended up getting the set Donuts and Sprinkles from My Favorite Things along with the coordinating die.

I used the dies to cut a donut shape from Baked Brown Sugar an then used Whisper White to create my icing. Using the sprinkles die I cut out sprinkles in Crisp Cantaloupe and Coastal Cabana. I don't know about you but donuts with sprinkles on them are my favorite kind. I always make sure to grab a bunch whenever I bring home donuts for my family!

I used Whisper White to create my card base and put a strip of Coastal Cabana across the bottom of the card. Using Baked Brown Sugar I stamped my sentiment on Whisper White and created a banner. After adhering the banner across the top of the strip of DSP I popped up my donut with dimensionals on the right side of the card. To finish it off I added sequins across the card front.

Make sure you head over to The Friday Mashup blog to see what the rest of the DT came up with and then play along with us!

Leaves and Thanks for Friday Mashup

This week on The Friday Mashup we have a color challenge for you, plus we'd love to see some masking done on your project.

I feel bad because I got my card done and realized I forgot the masking part. I didn't have time to get a new card done so I only have the color challenge done on my card.

I used the new Lawn Fawn die Small Stitched Leaves and cut 1 left out of Early Espresso, 2 leaves from So Saffron and 2 from Hello Honey. I used Avery Elles Wonky Stitches die to cut out a panel from Neenah Solar White, and adhered the leaves to that, popping up the Early Espresso leaf in the middle. The sentiment is from the Thankful Mice set and is stamped in Early Espresso.

Head over to The Friday Mashup blog to see what the rest of the DT came up with and then play along with us!

Watercolor Silhouette for Friday Mashup

This week Heidi is our hostess at The Friday Mashup and she would like to see a background filled with color (watercolor, sponging, braying, etc) and also a silhouette image. A bit out of my comfort zone but I went for it.

My friend (and Friday Mashup creator) Holly knows I don't care much for watercolor. It's just something I'm not good at. She told me about some watercolor powders from Ken Oliver and how easy they were to use. I decided to give them a try and bought the Earth Tones assortment when my local stamp store got a few in. Holly was right, they are very easy to use!

For my card I squeezed some powder onto the watercolor paper.....mind you the powder tends to go all over if you squeeze too hard and you do not need a lot to create, so be gentle and if you want more color just add as you go. After adding the powder I began to spray the paper with water and just let the colors combine and do their thing. I added more powder to areas I thought needed it, sprayed with water again and then set the piece aside to dry.

While the panel was drying I took one of the sentiments from Thankful Forest Friends and colored the stamp with markers. I then stamped it on watercolor paper and used an aquapainter across the words and image to carry on the watercolor theme.

After the panel was dry I took an image from Serene Silhouettes and stamped that in StazOn Black right on the watercolored panel. I took the sentiment piece, cut it out and then popped it up to the right of the silhouette image.

Head on over to The Friday Mashup to see what the rest of the DT did and then play along with us!

  • Create a project with a Background filled with Color (watercolor, Sponging, Etc.)

Pumpkin Frames for Friday Mashup

It's my turn to host at The Friday Mashup and this week I'm all about fall and pumpkins! We all know I'm a winter girl but I do love fall, as fleeting as the season is here in Alaska. Our leaves have already changed and are quickly falling off the trees, it wont be long before the branches are all bare. 

My family loves Halloween and every year we buy a bunch of pumpkins to carve and line our front porch with. This is where the inspiration came from for the pumpkin part of the challenge! I don't like to eat anything made with pumpkin or pumpkin flavor but I do love pumpkin decorations!

I used one of the sentiments from the Thankful Forest Friends set and then used some retired framelits to create my frame. I created 2 pumpkins from punches and added those to the bottom of the frame. I paper pierced the frame as well as all the corners of the card.

Head over to The Friday Mashup blog to see what the rest of the DT came up with and then I hope you'll play along with us!

Inlaid Christmas for Friday Mashup

This week at The Friday Mashup we have a sketch for you, plus we also have the option of doing the Inlaid Die Cutting technique. If you are not familiar with this technique you can check out a video HERE.

I decided to make a Christmas card...shocker, I know. I used the new set from SU called Peaceful Pines and it also has matching framelits. On a piece of Whisper White I stamped the three trees and then used the framelits to cut them out. I took a piece of DSP and lined the dies up to cut out the tree shapes where I wanted them and then I placed the stamped trees into the shapes I just cut. This is all adhered to a card base of thick Whisper White card stock. 

Make sure you head over to The Friday Mashup blog to see what the rest of the DT did and then play along with us!
