A Mojo Sketch with More Retiring Stuff

I made this card with the MojoMonday Sketch#193 here. I used the retiring stamp set Fun and Fast Notes with some Greenhouse Gala DSP, also to retire.

I used the Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer Punch on some Chocolate Chip and Daffodil Delight card stock and added a Real Red brad to the center, popping it up with Stampin' dimensionals. Finally, some 5/8 inch Daffodil Delight Satin ribbon finishes it off.

Friends Card for Two Challenges

I'm back to stamping! I was in St. Louis with my daughter's club volleyball team for a tourney. It was fun, they did great and I'm exhausted but I had to stamp a little before making dinner.
I made this one for the PPA#85 Sketch Challenge here, and the Stampin Celebration Inspiration Challenge #44 here.
I started with a base of Pear Pizzazz card stock and added some Chocolate Chip card stock and DSP from the Greehouse Gala DSP. I ran a strip of Chocolate Chip thru the Scallop Edge Border punch and added some dots with the White gel pen. I stamped the image from Friends Never Fade in Pear Pizzazz and colored the center of the flower with my Chocolate Chip Stampin' Write marker. I stamped the For You Flower in Chocolate Chip and punched out the center with the 1 1/4 inch Circle punch. I layered that onto a piece of Chocolate Chip punched with the 1 3/8 inch Circle punch. I popped up the circles with a Stampin' dimensional. Finally, some 1/2 inch Pear Pizzazz stitched-poly ribbon finishes it off.
