Stampin' Celebration Inspiration Challenge #15

Happy Thursday to you! We have another fun Stampin' Celebration Inspiration Challenge for you this week! This challenge really reminded me of the first few weeks of school so I focused on a few of my favorite Primary Colors - Red, Green, and Blue! I hope you'll come out and join us this week and play along!
My friend Susan gave me some super cute DSP that was just perfect for this challenge so I used it this week (it's not SU paper - but I love it)! Here's what I came up with:

My card layout is based upon this week's Mojo Monday sketch! It seems likes its been weeks since I've played along with the Mojo challenge, but this week I really liked the layout and thought it worked well with the SCIC!

Stampin' Essentials Tips:

• I LOVE the New Apple Blossoms Level 2 Stamp set (120139)! It's so versatile and cute! It's probably one of my favorites from the New Stampin' Up! Idea Book & Catalog! The images are adorable and the fonts of the sentiments are just SO cute! You can earn this set for FREE with a $300 workshop and/or catalog party! There's still time to book a workshop in August and earn $25 EXTRA Hostess Dollars! CLICK HERE to learn more!
• My 'A Note of Thanks' sentiment is from the Thank You Kindly Stamp Set (111700) on page 158 of the SU Idea Book & Catalog! If you don't have your copy of the IBC, Email Me and I'll mail one to you! Catalogs cost $9.95 + $4.90 shipping and include a Definitevly Decorative Brochure, Wish List, Summer Mini Catalog, PLUS you'll be added to my mailing list and will receive all future Mini Catalogs this year! I always enjoy giving gifts to my customers, so you'll get a fun little gift from me too!
• To create the large scallop border, I used the Fancy Flower Punch (118073). I punched out two flowers from the Baja Breeze card stock, then pieced them together to create a scallop! You can CLICK HERE to read my original blog post with a step-by-step tutorial of this technique!
