Nothing gets my creative energy flowing faster than a good sketch. This week's Pals Paper Arts Sketch Challenge (PPA98) offers a challenge favorite–one of Margaret Moody's classic sketches. Check out this week's PPA Design Team's samples and try it for yourself!
STAMPIN' PRETTY TIPS:
-
Pool Party (a new In Color, available July 1), Melon Mambo and Chocolate Chip combine to make a splashy handmade birthday card. Card base is 4 1/2" square. - Stampin' Up!'s Stampin' Write Markers allow me to doll up the cake stamp (image from Pretty Postage) with three different colors.
- Oh, there's that yummy Chocolate Chip Scallop Dot Ribbon again. Available July 1.

Fabulous, fun card. I love those together. Now about that room… total awesome and sooooo jealous!!!! Hugs,
Awesome card, Mary … love those waves on your card! Have to admit though, my eyes are really on the Ultimate Stamping Zone! I’m really enjoying watching it come to life!
Oh, I know how excited you are with your “new space” – it is just beautiful to say the least!! :)) The card is wonderful, too!! :)))
WOW. That’s what I said when I saw the picture of your stamping zone. WOW. You should be very grateful to have such an awesome place to create.
Gorgeous Card Mary! Ooooh, I am in love with your craft room. I’m going to Ikea next weekend. I have a huge list! 🙂 love that place!!! Hugs, J
Another inspiring creation, Mary! I love the color combo! Can’t wait to use Pool Party on a card myself! Love the use of the Tasteful Trim die too (going on my wish list)! And, how can I not mention the Stamping Zone makeover! I’ve followed the progress from day one, so I can’t wait to see the final reveal! A lot of thoughtful planning, I can tell! You must be SO excited! So happy for you! Lots of hugs! MM : )
Haven’t started Facebook yet so I am enjoying the photo updates of the Ultimate Stampin’ Space! Love your colors!! As with the card ~~ I’m enjoying my catalog and starting my list for my first order from it. Thanks for the advance color scheme ideas :o)
Great color choice. Love the use of the Tasteful Trim die

Hi there Mary, Love the colors together on the birthday card. The trim looks like the streamers used at birthday parties. Very cheerful, festive card. What an exciting July you will have , a new stamping zone, a new catalog, convention, and doing exactly what you truly love 🙂
Mary, This is a really cute card. I love the colors. You are so creative. Thanks Your stamp room is beautiful. WOW. You are amazing. Thanks for sharing your ideas with all of us. Ellen
Love your new room, lots of luck with it.
Hi Susan: The ribbon is on removable metal dowels, not IKEA Bygel rails. This is so that they can be removed easily to slide off ribbon, it I need the entire roll. Details are currently on Facebook but will be on my blog in the future. Hugs, M
Love the green backsplash and your wall organizers. Are the ribbons on the same thing as the punches?
Yummy, yummy colors, Mary! Adorable card! And for someone like me, who stamps at a table in the kitchen/dining room, your studio is the ultimate!
What a beautiful space! Very organized and functional and ohhhh so pretty!!!
Your room looks wonderful. WOW
Mary, I love how you used that long die! Very cute! And I AM watching the progress of your room! It looks fantastic!
Mary, I love the card that you made and each time you use the Tasteful Trim die, it grows on me, haha! Your workspace looks awesome! Can’t wait to see the final post on your blog 🙂
CUTE CUTE CUTE as always! I am watching your progress on your new work space and loving it!!
Love the splash Pool Party makes with Melon Mambo and Chocolate Chip…..very coooool! And about that new space – wowza!
