Hey there! Welcome to the Clique Kits Blog Hop! Hope you are all enjoying your summer, luckily it hasn't been too hot here in the U.S. Some rain, but otherwise the weather has been quite tolerable. So today my blog share is different than my previous months. Instead of making cards with the Raskog Kit, I made a planner spread! MY FIRST ONE!!! I can't be more excited to share it with you because I really had fun with it and am very pleased with the way it turned out. <br />

<br />Here, I created a mini bookmark with the exclusive "To Do List" journaling card
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="javascript:pinIt();"><img align="bottom" alt="Planner Spread by Janet Perafan-Babar: Clique Kits Raskog July 2016 Kit" class="planner-clq" data-pin-description="Planner by Janet Perafan-Babar | Clique Kits Raskog July 2016 Kit | Pinkfresh Studio Life Noted; #cliquekits #cliquekitsraskog #ckraskog" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT-Z6J7SWs-hmNGClmZtVeWDVSpf3yz1X5H-Wn0rJfwsIOsXzvt01pfg84eI7MN7XCqG8mLeIvgv87NSeCgUUF-K5wA-BbXkpIM0Bz_zqaQ5rpND2wamo-PbBcEZsW32FeTA4xonK-Wy97/s800/20160720_Clique-Kits_July-2016-Raskog-Kit_planner03.jpg" width="520" /></a>
<br />Behind that, I used another exclusive journaling card. LOVE this phrase! On the right, I made another bookmark with one of my favorite summer quotes.
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="javascript:pinIt();"><img align="bottom" alt="Planner Spread by Janet Perafan-Babar: Clique Kits Raskog July 2016 Kit" class="planner-clq" data-pin-description="Planner by Janet Perafan-Babar | Clique Kits Raskog July 2016 Kit | Pinkfresh Studio Life Noted; #cliquekits #cliquekitsraskog #ckraskog" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkQPfxPC2mKdiL_DsSOAN6AJUp5tJfZFYEPS0_GIhXDian4N5Pugy5mjkwM1qxIGZca4FGeyPV0twbl59GZL2fnpTvw9pKhPa_gVEiB4me_v3ALTUpHyBb0s_MWVINx1kzVt3f-jBZRFPi/s800/20160720_Clique-Kits_July-2016-Raskog-Kit_planner04.jpg" width="520" /></a>
<br />This photo opens to the right side of the month. On the left, the journaling on the bookmark is a prayer to the the biblical verse I chose for this month seen on the top right page. So inspiring!
<br />
<br />

<br />For some of my photos, I created a flip photo to add some journaling.

Hi and welcome to my blog and my first Pep Rally at Clique kits! I hope you are enjoying this month's hop and are finding tons of inspiration with the Northern Lights Kit. This is my first kit with Clique Kits, I really love how JAM PACKED this kit is. Soooo much to create with. I created four cards with mine so far. <br />
<br />
First up, using a mix of the Urban Luxe papers with the Attwell line. My first attempt at watercoloring, so please be kind :)<br />
<br />

Last card, this time using only the exclusives. This month's challenge was to use white space, so I kept the embellishments to a minimum. This is more like a stationary card: <br />
<br />

"Many Thanks"<br />Simon Says Stamp! October "Here's Looking At You" Kit | Clearly Besotted Mini Basic Banners</div>
<br /><div class="content">
Hello October!! Saturday was World Card Making Day and as much as I wanted to participate in all the activities, I couldn't because my much neglected scrap room was a wreck. So I dove in and decluttered and organized my chaotic mess. This morning, I pulled out my first kit to arrive this month - my beloved Simon Says Stamp Card Kit, looked up their latest challenge, and was very excited to start creating.<br /><br />
<center>This week, it's "Anything Goes" with the option of using Clearly Besotted products:<br />
<a href="javascript:pinIt();"><img align="bottom" alt="Many Thanks Card by Janet Perafan-Babar: Simon Says Stamp October Kit, Clearly Besotted Mini Basic Banners Stamp and Die Set" class="card-sq" src="https://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d142/JanetB0601/2015/Cards/1006-simon-says-stamp-kit-clearly-besotted.jpg" data-pin-description="Many Thanks Card by Janet Perafan-Babar | Simon Says Stamp! October 2015 Kit | Clearly Besotted Mini Basic Banners; #simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstampcardkit #ssscardkit #clearlybesottedstamps #ssswchallenge"></a></center><br />
<p class="subtitle">INSPIRATION:</p>
Card sketch is from <a class="links" href="http://retrosketches.blogspot.com/2015/10/retrosketches-184.html" target="_blank">Retro Sketches</a>, I knew how I wanted to interpret the sketch, but once I started shuffling around the GORGEOUS My Mind's Eye “My Story” papers from the kit and seeing how cute the kit stamp elements were with the heart and glasses and trendy sentiments, I had so many ideas in my head I didn't know what I wanted to use!! Finally, taking inspiration from <a class="links" href="http://paperissues.blogspot.com/2015/10/weve-got-some-new-pinspiration-for-you.html" target="_blank">Paper Issue's Pinspire Me Monday</a> Mood Board, I was set. It was clear. I had my card all planned out.<br />

How are your holiday cards going? This is my second, so for me, it's going slowwwwly. Great news, I am BEYOND excited that my snowman card won me a gift certificate to <a href="http://mftstamps.com/">My Favorite Things</a>, YAY! My wishlist is soooo long over there! I'm playing with their sketch again this week, and again, I used only <a href="http://mftstamps.com/">MFT Stamps and Dies</a>:
<br />
<br />
<a href="javascript:pinIt();"><img align="bottom" alt="Janet Perafan-Babar Card: My Favorite Things Die-namics Modern Morocco, Die-namics Tag Talk, Die-namics Stitched Scallop Edges, Die-namics Snowflake Splendor & Stamp Set" class="card-p" src="http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d142/JanetB0601/2014/Cards/1211.jpg" data-pin-description="Card by Janet Perafan-Babar | My Favorite Things: Die-namics Modern Morocco, Die-namics Tag Talk, Die-namics Stitched Scallop Edges, Die-namics Snowflake Splendor & Stamp Set; #mftstamps" /></a>
<br />
<br />
The large snowflake is embossed in silver. This was for the <a href="http://justusgirlschallenge.blogspot.com/2014/12/just-us-girls-270-word-week.html" target="_blank" >Just Us Girls Sparkle Challenge</a> and <a href="http://citycrafter.blogspot.com/2014/12/city-crafter-challenge-blog-week-241.html" target="_blank" >City Crafter's Glittering Snowflakes Challenge</a>. The color Scheme came from <a href="http://thecardconcept.blogspot.com/2014/12/challenge-25-silent-night-neutrals.html" target="_blank">The Card Concept</a>. The photo inspired me to use the "For You" sentiment, since it was hot chocolate being served to someone. Also, the layered frost cookies inspired the layered snowflakes:<br /><br />

I really like the way the Moroccan die was used in the sketch interpretation. I just trimmed the tiles to suit the size. And I love Die-namics Stitched Scallop Edge Die Set. It was last month's freebie when you order over $60 at <a href="http://mftstamps.com/">mftstamps.com</a>.
Let's hope you get as hooked as I am! Thanks for stopping by, have a great nite. Hugs and Happy Scrappin'!!!!<br /><br />xoxo<br />

I found the <a href="http://lawnscaping.blogspot.com/2014/12/lawnscaping-challenge-white-on-white.html" target="_blank" >Lawn Fawn Challenge Blog</a>. The challenge was White-on-White and was ending just before midnight. I figured I can pull it off in time, but in the end I was having trouble with Photobucket and of course, missed the deadline by just minutes. I am bummed. <br /><br />

I think the CAS sketch was a perfect fit for the Lawn Fawn dies I had in my stash. Nice and clean. Love when things work out like that, LOL, because I really don't own a lot of LF dies. Hope your week so far is great, and thanks so much for visiting. Hugs and Happy Scrappin'!!!!<br /><br />xoxo<br />

Hi there! Today's card comes from the <a href="http://musecardclub.blogspot.ca/2014/12/muse-challenge-96.html" target="_blank" >Muse Challenge #96</a> and the <a href="http://www.mftstamps.com/blog/stamp-and-win-with-this-weeks-card-sketch-205/">My Favorite Things</a> Sketch. Supplies are exclusively <a href="http://mftstamps.com/">MFT Stamps</a>.

<img align="bottom" alt="Janet Perafan-Babar | My Favorite Things: Die-namics Polka Dot Cover-Up, Die-namics Pinking Edge Circle STAX, Die-namics Pierced Fishtail Flags STAX, Die-namics Let It Snowflake, Pure Innocence Holiday Hugs Snowman; #mftstamps" class="card-p" src="http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d142/JanetB0601/2014/Cards/1208.jpg" height="540" title="card by Janet Perafan-Babar" width="480" />
<br />
<br />
Here is the Muse Inspiration - Vicki Dutcher (how fab is this card?!!). I loved it and took as much inspiration as I could: the white on red polka dots, the red, white, black, kraft and green color combo, the dimensional dots, and the stitched frames (I used pierced banners).

<br />
Happy October! This month, I am guesting at <a href="http://www.scrapbookcircle.com/">Scrapbook Circle</a> and this month's kits are SUPER FUN! I've been a subscriber for close to three years and I really, really love the kits. They don't skimp, the selections are so well put together, I literally get excited when I find my kit on my doorstep. Today on their blog is my <a href="http://www.scrapbookcircle.com/2014/10/october-guest-designer-janet-perafan-babar">introduction post</a>, which includes a fun Q&A and the first project I made for them. More projects will be revealed throughout the month as we go through and play with our kits, including a sketch and other fun product and technique based challenges. I am soooooo looking forward to it all!<br />
<br />
I loved playing with this kit. Lisa's got a great eye for mixing all the latest and greatest into her kits. There's lots of brand new Chickaniddy Crafts, Elle's Studio and Fancy Pants Designs. I made this 8x8 layout using only the Main Kit, "<a href="http://shop.scrapbookcircle.com/collections/kits/products/october-main-kit-on-this-day">On This Day</a>", which is still available for purchase. This is about Bearemy, Jabran's beloved teddy bear who had lost his arm and needed some stitching - so Grandma's mending it: <br />

Another 8x8 layout! Seriously, I don't think I'm ever going back to the 12x12. How are you guys? Tonight I played with the AMAZING June Sketch over at <a href="http://www.mycreativescrapbook.blogspot.com/2014/06/june-sketch-challenge-play-along-and-win.html">My Creative Scrapbook</a>. For this project I used their <a href="https://www.blogger.com/mycreativescrapbook.com">June Limited Edition Kit</a>.<br />
<br />

Love this photo of Rianna. She was two at the time, playing in the sand at the lake. What cracks me up is her curled toes with the one big toe pointing out. Adorbs.<br />
<br />
I fell in love with all the Kaisercraft Kaleidoscope papers in this kit, but I was only able to get two sheets and half of the Sugar Blooms flower package in a kit swap. I was happy. It was enough for me to create a layout and so I can play along with their sketches. Don't you just love those triangles?<br />

I started off by layering the floral side of the <a class="imglinks" href="http://www.acherryontop.com/shop/company/kaisercraft/line/kaleidoscope/187023" target="blank">Impasto<span><img src="http://sbing.com/i/products/0000/187/187023-175x175-1.jpg" nopin="nopin" /></span></a> paper over teal cardstock. I really loved the triangle and dashed line elements in this sketch. I cut triangles out of the chevron pattern in the <a class="imglinks" href="http://www.acherryontop.com/shop/company/kaisercraft/line/kaleidoscope/187024" target="_blank">Original<span><img src="http://sbing.com/i/products/0000/187/187024-175x175-1.jpg" nopin="nopin" /></span></a> paper, then masked my <a class="imglinks" href="https://www.acherryontop.com/shop/product/168774" target="_blank">Static 6x6 Stencil<span><img nopin="nopin" src="https://sbing.com/i/products/0000/168/168774-175x175-1.jpg" /></span></a> with washi tape and dabbed it with <a class="imglinks" href="http://store.scrapbook.com/pri-891121.html" target="_blank">Olive Vine<span><img src="http://ep.yimg.com/ay/scrapbook-dot-com/prima-ingvild-bolme-chalk-fluid-edger-olive-vine-1.jpg" nopin="nopin" /></span></a> Chalk Fluid to recreate the dashed lines element.

It's different from my regular style, but I really like how it turned out. It was fun experimenting with a little shabby chic. ;)<br />

My Focus Challenge was from Inspiration Photo #2 - Focus On Patterns: Chevron. I chose to use the chevron die and filled some of the negative spaces with the aqua paper. I drew other inspiration from the bowl in Photo #1 to use the Smile Die and a circle punch, a gold glittered enamel dot from the glitter in Photo #2, enamel dots from the headboard studs in Photo #3, and finally the frame in Photo #4 prompted using script stamps and to layer white on pink.<br />
<br />
Seriously, I REALLY LOVE how much fun it is to play with these Color Combos and Inspiration Boards. The combos always work so well together and it's such a great challenge to find and use all the inspiration I can. <br />

How has this glorious weather been treating you? I am loving it! Been busy these past weeks plus some cleaning in my studio. Nothing like a clean desk to get your mojo flowing again! Jabran turned 11 this weekend, so I made this card for my Mom to give him:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d142/JanetB0601/2014/Cards/20140520.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img align="bottom" alt="card by Janet Perafan-Babar | Simon Says Stamp May 2014 Card Kit; Simon Says Stamp Happy Birthday Die" class="card-sq" src="http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d142/JanetB0601/2014/Cards/20140520.jpg" height="480" width="480" /></a>
<br />
For his card, I chose to use the <span style="color: #e06666;">Simon Says Stamp!</span> May Card Kit. I just LOVED the playful boy theme and fabulous rich colors from the Fancy Pants Designs "Be Different" collection. Plus the stamp set had that awesome game controller, which I filled in with color pencils. You know, I just realized -- I forgot to add a cord. Grrrr!<br />

<br />
I combined two challenges, a sketch and a product. At <span style="color: #e06666;">Unscripted Sketches</span>, two slight variations to the sketch: I offset the two diagonal edges and the substituted the overlapping strip with a stamped image. The <span style="color: #e06666;">Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge</span> was "Die Crazy", showcasing their exclusive die cut products, so I chose the <span style="color: #e06666;">Happy Birthday Die</span>.<br />

An awesome sketch by Susan Stringfellow. She designed for me at Color Combos Galore and is now with <span style="color: #e06666;">Scraptastic Kit Club</span> designing pages and sketches. I loved this one, with all it's fun layers. There's a new issue at <span style="color: #e06666;">Paper Issues</span>. It's <span style="color: #e06666;">Mum's the Word</span> so I chose to play on the word MOM. It's a photo of me that my daughter took a few years ago while we were having lunch at the mall. Mind you, I do not normally walk around or eat lunch at the mall with glasses on, lol. She asked me to put them on, then she snapped the picture. I wanted to document this photo of me, the young Mom she captured. It's also a great photo for the <span style="color: #e06666;">Glasses Challenge</span> at <span style="color: #e06666;">A Cherry On Top</span>. <br />
<br />
I made a super gorgeous Color Combo based on this layout. Please feel free to click on <a href="http://janetperafanbabar.blogspot.com/2014/04/color-combo-inspiration-043014.html">THIS POST</a> If you'd like to download or Pin It.<br />

BASED ON MY COLOR SCHEME FOR THE LAYOUT ON THIS BLOG POST:<br /><a href="janetperafanbabar.blogspot.com/2014/04/moi-scraptastic-kits.html"><span style="font-size: large;">Moi - Scraptastic Kits</span></a><br />Blogged on: 04.30.2014
<br /><br /><br />On the Color Combos Galore site, we start off with both the color combo and inspiration photo <i>then</i> we create a project to encourage you to try the colors out. What if I create a project, <i>then</i> create the Color Combo based on the colors used in the project? It's great to see a cool and trendy color combo on a layout, but wouldn't it be better to see that adoring color combo in a large, clear graphic that you can pin onto your Pinterest Boards or even print out? So I thought, create a layout as I would normally, then design a Color Combo (and attach a pretty Pinterest photo too) based on the color scheme of my project. So besides the ones I offer at the Color Combos Galore challenge site, you will get a second dose of Color Combos from yours truly, right here, just to inspire you. <br /><br />Sounds like fun? I think it is, but I need to know what <i>you</i> think. I need your feedback, do you love a pretty color combo and would you like me to make some? :) :) :)</center>

I'm liking the cleaner lines of my cards lately, so this was a great sketch to work with. I am also participating at A Cherry On Top's <span style="color: #e06666;">April Pinterest Challenge</span> with this pin that I had liked for using with the background stamp. <br /><br />

Today I am sharing a card with combined challenges. My main incentive was a challenge site I found for making Christmas cards throughout the year. This is a fantastic idea because who wants to be rushing to make them in the midst of the holiday chaos? I found a couple of sites to play along with, so hopefully I can get more done. Here is mine for Festive Friday:<br />
<img align="bottom" class="card-p" src="http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d142/JanetB0601/2014/Cards/20140409.jpg" height="450" alt="card by Janet Perafan-Babar" width="400" />
<br clear="all" />
I used only Papertrey Ink dies and stamps. I am playing with CAS(e) this Sketch. I really tried to keep it CAS - There is no patterned paper, plenty of white space, minimal embellishments. Although I love the style, I'm not used it, so I hope it qualifies. For the Festive Friday challenge I stamped the pinecone images, brought in the colors, and used vellum as a transparent element (glass). For the Paper Players challenge, my set of three were the pinecones and also the gems:<br /><br />

This was supposed to be a "Happy Monday!" post, but life was pulling me in all directions yesterday. Today I am excited to share my very first 8x8 layout! What? YES! I have been admiring <a href="http://worqshop.wordpress.com/tag/citrus-twist-kits/">Kasia Tomaszewska</a> and her 8x8 pages, so I decided to try it out and you know, I TOTALLY LIKE! However, I was a little freaked out after I cut my base because I realized how small 8x8 really is. But the smaller canvas gives a quicker completion time and that, my friends, is good for me! Here is the page I made with <span style="color: #e06666;">Citrus Twist Kits</span> and their <span style="color: #e06666;">Sunday Sketch</span>. I took this photo of Zayn and Rianna really quick on my iPhone (all the while trying not to get noticed). What I got was a blurry, overexposed photo. But nevertheless, I had to record this moment:<br />

This kit was full of deliciousness, once again! I used Wanderlust paper and vellum stickers, Lemonlush ephemera pieces and some Citrus Twist wood veneer. The larger heart was cut from Dear Lizzy paper. I also used <span style="color: #e06666;">Papertrey Ink</span> dies, Huey Mists and a stencil that was inked with Prima chalks:<br /><a href="http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d142/JanetB0601/2014/Closeups/0331_1.jpg"><img class="closeup-sh" src="http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d142/JanetB0601/2014/Closeups/0331_1.jpg" title="Janet Perafan-Babar | Closeup" /></a><br />

I added six new stencils to my templates stash last month and would you believe this was my first time using one? OMG, what I have been missing, FUN STUFF! Did you know that <span style="color: #e06666;">Moxie Fab World</span> is having a stencils challenge and that besides cards, they also accept layouts? So for all you stencil experts, novices like me, and all those in between, go play! Challenge ends April 11.<br /><br /><br /><br />
So what do you think of this size? Would you try it out? I hope you do, I really enjoyed it and it was fun to experiment. Thanks so much for stopping by, hope your day turns out fabulous!<br />

How's your Tuesday? Good I hope! I was so excited last week to get a Moxie Fab shout-out for the card I made for their Hexagon Challenge. How cool is that? Like yeah! TOTALLY cool! So I decided to play with some paper again this morning, browsing the web I found and REALLY wanted to play with the <span style="color: #e06666;">Get Sketchy Challenge</span> at My Favorite Things -- but the deadline was at 12pm! It was a clean sketch and I figured it would be fairly quick for me since I take FOREVER to create. So despite the time crunch, I took the plunge.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d142/JanetB0601/2014/Cards/20140318.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img align="bottom" class="project" src="http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d142/JanetB0601/2014/Cards/20140318.jpg" height="500" title="Janet Perafan-Babar | Scrapbook Circle Portobello Road #scrapbookcircle #mft #mftstamps" width="400" /></a><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">Scrapbook Circle Portobello Road, My Favorite Things</span>.<br />
<br />
<br />
Clean and Simple, huh? I wish I could say it took me all of 15 minutes to complete the card, but I'm not that talented, or built for speed. LOL. No, seriously. I admire those who can create fantabulous cards and layouts in such a short time. It amazes me how they do that. My problem is deciding color placement. White or green base? Green or blue banner? Pushing colors around, blah, blah, blah. I used<span style="text-align: -webkit-center;"> the </span><span style="color: #e06666; text-align: -webkit-center;">Scrapbook Circle Portobello Road Kit</span><span style="text-align: -webkit-center;"> and for their <span style="color: #e06666;"><a href="http://www.scrapbookcircle.com/2014/03/one-item-wonder-crate-paper-triangle-studs">One Item Wonder</a></span> blog post, I included the Crate Paper Studs.</span> To jump start my design, I took inspiration from this week's <span style="color: #e06666;">MUSE Challenge</span>, which offered this striking card by Marion Vagg:<br />
<br />
<div class="nopin"><center>
<img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjskzY_Tlx5mBAJDCNS7wczx2BLGis8DlLekjm4G87mB-q3pGq39KOQ15pUbYWHmLJfycxRtwmO2Bl493UIPurqzR5a4S0uOZrAvKdjlPhvqcHcHm0FYFD2tS0-N5trUbgnMxrswWlLCy4/s250/IMG_2796.jpg" height="300" nopin="nopin" title="Muse #59" width="250" /><br />
<br />
How was I inspired? By the "hello" sentiment and the beautiful blue, green, red, yellow and pink Color Combo of course!!! I immediately thought of this crazy funky paper from the new Basic Grey line that came in the kit. At first, I thought the pattern was a little wild, but now I totally LOVE and want another sheet! The hello die I used is <a class="hover_image" href="http://mftstamps.com/die-namics-happy-hellos" target="blank">Die-namics Happy Hellos<span><img src="http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e364/ProductLinks/StampsDies/MyFavoriteThings/MFT317_zps8a765dbf.jpg"
nopin="nopin" /></span></a>
.<br />
<br />
<br />The sketch:<br /><img src="http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d142/JanetB0601/2014/Uploads/Challenges/MFT167.jpg" height="310" nopin="nopin" title="Get Sketchy #167" width="250" /></center>
<br />
<br /><center>
<span style="color: #eb635b; font-family: 'Arvo', serif; font-size: 150%; letter-spacing: .2em;">DESIGN CONCEPTS</span></center><br />
<b>Balance and visual weight:</b> I originally cut the center strip like the sketch. But before I glued down, I felt my design looked heavy. So I decided messy thread because the light, white thread actually breaks up the heaviness of both the patterned paper and solid dark strip. It grounded the banner, gave the card more dimension and texture, and was lightweight and airy enough to keep the sketch intact. <br />
<b>Movement:</b> I pointed the triangle studs toward one direction, then, decided last minute to cut the tips to create a banner. Thus creating movement and flow. Your eyes are really drawn to the center away from the bold, busy pattern in the background.<br />
<br />
<br />
So happy I got to create today. I PROMISE, next post I write I will talk less.<br />
Thanx so much for stopping by!!<br />
<br />
Hugs and Happy Scrappin'!!!!<br />

I truly enjoy combining challenges. Today I am combining a product challenge with a sketch and color, also with a design and then a theme challenge. First up, my brand new <span style="color: #e06666;">Paper Smooches</span> stamp. I just bought my first one and have been looking forward to using it. So I am a happy butterfly to be playing along with their <span style="color: #e06666;">SPARKS Anything Goes Challenge</span> this week:<br />
<br />

Isn't that such a cool stamp?<br /><br /><br />
Sketch and color interpretation came from:<img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif-t1PfHMb9_QjmDV_MrHnv7rQtsmBqQS9FTikw9mxOXpOQZh41avTEAiuTvYuq6eHhGznBoB-jT3UhP3RzCta_NBfDsK4f0AEEYAmYLaePd_GP8deNaAtPfXjm1GYXwtM5Y0seqAG1sE/s400/Teal+&+Yellow.png" nopin="nopin" title="Fusion #5" /><br />
I used the aqua and gold colors, included a doily inspired from the ruffling on the purse, and the placement of the four hexagons was inspired by the cups.<br /><br /><b><u>Sketch Variations</u></b><br />
- Orientation: <span style="color: #7ecbb7;">The speech bubble pointed downward, so I flipped the sketch</span><br />
- Circle element: <span style="color: #7ecbb7;">Used a doily</span><br />

Hello How Are You? - Studio CalicoHi there! Thanks so much for coming by, I know it's been ages since hearing from me, and I apologize for such silence. There were areas in my life that really needed my attention and focus. All the while, my mojo was gnawing at me, especially in the past few weeks. So I decided to scratch that itch, have some fun, and create. Here is my "Hi! Hello How Are You" spring-inspired card created for the <span style="color: #e06666;">Studio Calico Sunday Sketch</span>:
<br />

<br />
<b><u><i>Sketch Variations</i></u></b><br />
- Border strips: <span style="color: #7ecbb7;"><i>I mitered the corners</i></span><br />
- Banner element: <span style="color: #7ecbb7;"><i>Lowered banner placement to bottom edge</i></span><br />
- Two Blocks: <span style="color: #7ecbb7;"><i>Created a "canopy" and merged with sentiment</i></span></div>

It was to digitally "ink" the digital stamps with digital brushes. How cool and clever! I haven't tried the watercolor technique and this was perfect without having to getting messy. I made two designs, one brushed and one watercolor effect: </div>
<br />
<br clear="all" />
Colors are always off when I print, but once I stamped the kite image with <span style="color: #e06666;">Memento Tuxedo Black Ink</span> over the watercolor design, WOW, it came out so pretty! I punched out a scallop out of the brushed design and drew in semi circles on the edges to balance out all the black. The banner strip was cut from the Fancy Pants paper using the <span style="color: #e06666;">Papertrey Ink Double-Ended Banners Die</span>.<br />
<a href="http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d142/JanetB0601/2014/Closeups/20140305_c1.jpg"><img class="closeup" src="http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d142/JanetB0601/2014/Closeups/20140305_c1.jpg" title="Janet Perafan-Babar | Closeup - Hi! Hello How Are You Card" /></a>
<br />
<br />
To create the kite strings, I ran the <span style="color: #e06666;">Papertrey Ink In the Meadow Die</span> leaving a 1/8th inch border for each cut. The little girl was colored in with Prismacolor pencils #929 and #965.<br />
<a href="http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d142/JanetB0601/2014/Closeups/20140305_c2.jpg"><img class="closeup" src="http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d142/JanetB0601/2014/Closeups/20140305_c2.jpg" title="Janet Perafan-Babar | Closeup - Hi! Hello How Are You Card" /> </a>
<br />
<br />
<br />
I truly love how this block designed card turned out. Glad I took the challenge!!<br />
<br />
Thanks again for stopping by...... Hope you have a wonderful week!<br />
<br />
Happy Scrappin'!!!!<br />

So how did I do for my first CAS? The Color Combo is rose, blush, butter and gray for the Flashback Challenge at Color Combos Galore, we are playing with 2012 this week. This Color Combo that was scheduled to post when we were at Blogger, but never did once we went back to Ning. I was going to contribute this card, but my colors are way off. If I get a chance, I will try again tomorrow.<br />

Seize the Birthday has a new sister site called <span style="color: lightcoral;">Seize the Sketch</span>. I thought it was a good sketch for CAS, one layer card, which I exactly the kind of sketch I needed for this week's <span style="color: lightcoral;">Lawnscaping Challenge</span>. Now does one layer mean nothing, like NO embellishments or overlapped die cuts? Is it just stamping on the base? I hope you readers can clarify this for me.<br />

So here's what I did. First, I created a mask for the speech bubble from the <span style="color: lightcoral;">A Birdie Told Me</span> set. I next chose the chevron strip from the <span style="color: lightcoral;">Interlocking Backdrops</span> set. I was feeling a little adventurous with it, really, since the card was going to be "only one layer". Some people do plain very nicely. Clean. Me? It would probably be boring, LOL! So here I decided to ink both sides of the chevron with different inks, then stamp over the mask. I ripped open some <strike>new</strike> waiting-to-be-used Prima Chalk, <span style="color: lightcoral;">Old Rose</span> and <span style="color: lightcoral;">Pastel Pink</span>. Jenni B's <span style="color: lightcoral;">Malted Milk</span> dabber, and stamped again, reversing the colors. This little technique was a little frustrating, least to say. I attempted this feat twice, and had to throw out the cards each time. On the third try I FINALLY, I got a decent impression!<br />

<div class="text">
Once I was <strike>satisfied</strike> done, I removed the mask and stamped the bubble with <span style="color: lightcoral;">Attic Dust</span>. Again, the Prima Chalk. I LOVE how it inked up stamps. Total coverage. The sentiment is from the <span style="color: lightcoral;">Happy Everything</span> sentiments set, stamped with Memento's <span style="color: lightcoral;">Tuxedo Black</span> ink (my faaaa-vorite black). The tiny bird and heart is from the A Birdie Told Me set. I am also playing along at <span style="color: lightcoral;">Charisma Cardz</span> again this week, with their Faux Stitching Challenge, as well as the <span style="color: lightcoral;">All Sorts Challenge</span> with the same. Faux stitching, right up my alley! I used the Dritz tool and ran it alongside the top edge of the card to create the threadless stitch. <i>Not sure if that's the right term?</i> Yeah, you know I still haven't used my machine, and it's like what, five years since I got it? Never used.</div>
<br />
Anywayz, thanks for stopping by again, if you want to try a color combo with your next project, here's the <a href="http://www.blogger.com/colorcombosgalore.ning.com">LINK</a>. You should play. It's fun. Have a great rest of the week!<br />

We are playing Flashback with our favorite combos from this year. This week, we are choosing any of the 2013 Color Combos.

Now I do love each and every color combo I have made throughout the years, this year especially. The colors were so trendy and the inspiration photos were fabulous. So needless to say, it was not easy choosing a favorite. However, I favored this Inspiration Board with Photo #3 - the Mehndi laced hand of the Indo-Pakistani bride. It brought me back to my own Pakistani ceremony the night before our "real" wedding, my red dress and how pretty those women decorated and painted my hands.<br />

<br /><div class="nopin">
The designers were instructed to choose an element from any of the photos as inspiration, but not allowed to use any of the four original "Focus On" challenge prompts from the original <a href="http://colorcombosgalore.ning.com/forum/topics/color-combo-challenge-241">Reveal post</a>. I chose Inspiration Photo #2. <br />
<br />

So I focused on the layered tone-on-tone plates. My interpretation from that was to create the same tone-on-tone effect, layering elements cut from the same background paper. I really love the look it gives and I have been wanting to do this technique for like,...ever. I think it looks so cool. </div>

This is the sketch I used. This <span style="color: lightcoral;">Moxie Fab</span> birthday* card had to include clouds* for the <span style="color: lightcoral;">Charisma Cardz</span>* challenge, so I used <span style="color: lightcoral;">Flat-Bottom Clouds</span> for my effect. The paper is ColorMates. I collected these cardstock sheets many years ago - great range of colors, but I don't even know who sells them anymore.<br />
<br />
When I first saw the sketch, I really wished I had their washi stamp and die set. It would of been perfect.</div></div>

Instead, I substituted that element with one of the file tabs from <span style="color: lightcoral;">LLD Accent It - Labels and Tabs</span>. For the center block, I layered <span style="color: lightcoral;">Postage Stamp STAX</span> over the <span style="color: lightcoral;">Insert It - InstaFrame</span>. And don't you just love these balloons? These adorable balloons are the <span style="color: lightcoral;">Party Balloons </span>stamps and dies from their July release. The tie ribbon is too cute. LOVE!! So happy I got them.</div>

I was really happy with the colors in this month's card kit. Bright, bold, fun colors. The background, chevron block and center balloon are 6x6 papers from the <span style="color: lightcoral;">Lily Bee Designs Sweet Shop</span> collection, and so is the "party time" word label. I had no idea what to do with the straws at first, until I was making the balloons. But even when I pop dot, and double pop dot the balloons, the straws were still bulky. Scratched my head a bit, then I cut them in half and angled the tips. KAAA-UTE!!!! Oh, that chevron arrow stamp on the bottom is <span style="color: lightcoral;">Jumbo Mod Borders</span>, also from their July release. It was stamped with <span style="color: lightcoral;">Kraft</span> ink. </div>
<br clear="all" />
I had a total blast playing with some of my MFT dies, and I totally LOVED this kit. Simon Says Stamps! kits are so fun to get. My August kit already came in past a week, so must dive into that one real quick and not get backed up.<br />
<br />
Hope you are enjoying your creative time too! Have a FABULOUS week, and do check out the <a href="http://colorcombosgalore.ning.com/">Color Combo Challenges</a>, I would love for you to try a combo!<br />

Happy Scrappin'!!!!<br />

It sure has been quiet in this little spot of blogland. It's been some time since I updated. Incredible with all the mounds of supplies and kits I have, I hardly get the time to use it. Well, I did sit down tonight and created a card with <span style="color: #e06666;">Valley High</span>, the <span style="color: #e06666;">Studio Calico</span> July Card Kit.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d142/JanetB0601/2013/Cards/20130729.jpg"><img align="bottom" class="project" src="http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d142/JanetB0601/2013/Cards/20130729.jpg" title="Janet Perafan-Babar | Studio Calico (Valley High July 2013 Card Kit)" /></a><a href="//pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fjanetperafanbabar.blogspot.com%2F2013%2F07%2Fstudio-calico-valley-high.html&media=http%3A%2F%2Fi34.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fd142%2FJanetB0601%2F2013%2FCards%2F20130729.jpg&description=Janet%20Perafan-Babar%20%7C%20Studio%20Calico%20(Valley%20High%20July%202013%20Card%20Kit)" data-pin-do="buttonPin" data-pin-config="beside"><img src="//assets.pinterest.com/images/pidgets/pin_it_button.png" /></a><br />

<img class="challenge1" nopin="nopin" src="http://www.studiocalico.com/system/redactorAssets/original/82e44cc12cc3a1111dae4737490cba1016ac1c6a.jpg?1374376893" title="Sunday Sketch - Lory" />I used this Studio Calico <span style="color: #e06666;">Sunday Sketch</span>. I varied the sketch a little, offsetting the middle column to the left, and the speech bubble and washi tape strip was the sentiment strip area.<br />
<br />
I am playing with this lovely <span style="color: #e06666;">Pinspired Challenge</span>. I absolutely love this image, I had been wanting to use it for <img class="challenge2" nopin="nopin" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm9Xm3IjDmQGxjddNk5k_sXipzy6cIYL4SLeoWBSqYbZ0FR9GY5tHE9mZtoZ2NMTVynNxKwXpE7n3zQAMxZZCwAETvH6LII4RFl0Ext2HrMjQ6yuqSDZ5YYZNSW06-l9a1JjC3Du1WJdY/s320/pc14.jpg" title="Pinspired Challenge #14" />the Color Combo challenges - loved the pink, orange and aqua color scheme. So I pulled those papers out of the kit, then flowers from the <span style="color: #e06666;">Papertrey Ink The Sweet Life</span> stamps and die set, and the washi tape from the <span style="color: #e06666;">Jennifer</span> add-on.<br />
<br />
I am also playing with <span style="color: #e06666;">Seize the Birthday</span> and <span style="color: #e06666;">A Passion for Papertrey</span>, which was to create a birthday themed card.</div>
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d142/JanetB0601/2013/Closeups/20130729_c1.jpg"><img class="closeup1" src="http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d142/JanetB0601/2013/Closeups/20130729_c1.jpg" /></a><div class="text">I first stamped the speech bubble image in <span style="color: #e06666;">Terracotta Tile</span> ink, bummed because it bled a little, wrong cardstock. Bazzill White. Oh well, I learn as I go. Anyway, this was a birthday card, so I covered the original "hello" sentiment from the stamp with one of the <span style="color: #e06666;">Valley High</span> 6x6 papers and set the wood chip birthday sentiment on top. Was undecided between "friend" or "sunshine" sentiment, "sunshine" won because it was cuter. Then I added the washi tape strip to ground the elements, and a few rhinestones for happiness.</div><br /><br /><a href="http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d142/JanetB0601/2013/Closeups/20130729_c2.jpg"><img class="closeup2" src="http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d142/JanetB0601/2013/Closeups/20130729_c2.jpg" /></a><div class="text">The rose was stamped in <span style="color: #e06666;">Sweet Blush</span> ink, then used <span style="color: #e06666;">Berry Sorbet</span> - stamping once on scrap paper, then onto the image for a softer look. You can tell I was experimenting cuz I messed up on the edge. The Berry Sorbet didn't come off on the first press. Well, I did the same technique for the base of the leaf using <span style="color: #e06666;">Harvest Gold</span> ink, then stamped <span style="color: #e06666;">Fine Linen</span> directly on top. A much better impression.</div>

<br />
This was a fun card to make, and it was great to be back in my scraproom playing along with some fun challenge sites. Thanks for stopping by and seeing me come back out of the woodwork! ;) <br />
<br />
Hope you have a wonderful week!<br />
Happy Scrappin'!!!!<br />
