Fabulous Friday and a Simply Paper Design Challenge

I love using one project to fill several commitments and this card does just that!  I had promised my sister Cindy Blekas that I would start using her Simply Paper Design Challenge sketches and color combinations each month from her blog Simply Cindy Crafts and I also needed to design a card for Fabulous Friday this week on the Sisters in Stamping blog featuring a Sale-a-Bration item.  This is the card I came up with which ended up fulfiliing both... I changed the sketch just a teeny bit, putting the sentiment in the center of the strip versus in the bottom corner but I think she'll let me slide!  As a bonus, I also used it in my stamp-a-stack class last night!!  Gotta love that... So do you recognize the Sale-a-Bration items - there are 3 different ones included.  I used the stamp set Elementary Elegance for the image and sentiment, Everyday Elegance Designer Series Paper and the ribbon is from the Everyday Elegance ribbon and brad pack.  The colors I used are pulled from the DSP:  very vanilla, pool party and soft suede.  The curly label punch and 2-1/2" circle punch made quick work of the cutting.

Don't forget that you can earn one of these exclusive Sale-a-Bration items for FREE with a qualifying $50 order!  Email me your order this weekend while I'm working at my kids' swim meet and you'll also earn a chance to win a $25 gift certificate!  See this post for more details...

Here's the sketch and color combination for the Simply Paper Design Challenge for February... I will do another card later with cherry cobbler, whisper white and basic black, I promise!  Why not give this sketch a try?

For even more inspiration with Sale-a-Bration products, please be sure and hop on over to the Sisters in Stamping blog after Noon EST today!

Have a wonderful weekend!  Stop back by as I'll be sharing my downline swap cards over the next couple of days...
