The badge image is so pretty!!! I pulled out some Stampin Up stamps that I've had in my stash and finally used them for the first time.

I used some Hero Arts shadow inks to create the background.  I inked up the large image with two different greens to create a nice effect.  Then I sponged the background with two different VersaMagic colors.  I love creating my own patterned paper.

I hope you will play along with us - I love seeing all of the projects and we all look at every single entry!!!!

My Time Made Easy Pretty Palette 04 Challenge

Today I'm participating in the My Time Made Easy Pretty Palette 04 Challenge!

I love the stamps that My Time Made Easy creates! This challenge was a bit, well, challenging for me.  I don't often use Peach or Seafoam Green.  Ivory and Kraft aren't a problem, though!!!

I decided to make a baby card for this one.  I honestly don't own much in Peach, scrapbooking or otherwise.  Nothing against it - I just look horrible when I wear it (I'm too pale), so I steer clear of it in general.  But I did find some peach and seafoam green stock in a baby pack I had from DCVW!!! Woo hoo!!! That worked out well - not only do I have a ton of friends that are pregnant right now, I was able to use the cute Papertrey Ink Teddy Bear stamp!!!

I stamped the bear twice and paper pieced him together.  I used two PTI dies (banner and scalloped rectangle).  I also stamped the "LOVE" sentiment onto some Bazzill green stock with seafoam green ink from Martha Stewart.  I was so happy to use my new Stampin Up confetti stamp, too! I adore those little ABC's at the bottom of the card!

To finish it off, I added a PTI sentiment in the upper left corner and I drew some stitching around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by and make sure to play along with this week's My Time Made Easy Color Challenge!
