The Weekly Recipe Sketch Challenge #2

Hello everyone!  It’s Taylor here today, and I’m so excited to be bringing you the second installment of our Weekly Recipe sketch challenge!  I’ve kept things pretty clean and simple this week – take a look:

I think the sketch could also be snazzed up a bit…it’s totally up to you!  For my sample, I used the wicked cute boots from the newest Diner’s Club set Tart and Spice to make a CAS Halloween card. Want to see?

We’d love to for you to play along with us! Leave a link to your fabulous project below in the comments section, or stop by our Facebook page and show off your work!

Hooo to You!

Hey friends! Jeni Allen here, happy to be contributing on the GRS blog today! I’ve been wandering through the Gallery, and have fallen for a certain little image today! Don’t you just LOVE this owl!? I think it is a great size and oh so cute!! I have been having a great time with it myself and was happy to see that the other design team girls are too! So, here are few peices of eye candy for you to enjoy!

This little owl tree trio was created by Kendra–I love all the different textures and patterns found here! Love it Kendra!

This next blue trio of owls was made by Taylor. I love how the middle one is “popping out” from the paper! I love the little attention to detail–love foam adhesive!

And this last little quartet of owls was created by Joslyn! Don’t you love the polka dots?! The twine is a wonderful simple look and I love this clean and simple perfection!

Thanks for taking a look at this little cute owl! I’m sure that we’ll be see a whole lot more if him/her!  Don’t forget The Design Team Call that went out a few days ago!! You’ve got until the 8th of Octoberto submit your work to GRS! We’d love to have you join us…so get some of your favorite things emailed in!!  Until next time, tootles!

Focus on Diners Club

Hi everyone!  This is Rose Ann for Gourmet Rubber Stamps.  Are you all as excited as I am about the new Diners Club set, Tart and Spice?  The team came up with some awesome samples to get your juices flowing, and today I am sharing a few wonderful designs from some of my fellow DT members.

Deb’s card is very elegant and fun at the same time!  I love the patterned paper she chose, and her bow is so perfect!  The fancy frame adds that touch of elegance, which I love!!

Kendra’s Brew is so spooky-cute, and her mix of patterned papers is perfect!  I am always a bit afraid to try and mix it up like that…but it totally works on Kendra’s adorable card!!

 On this final card, Pam used two of my favorite images from the set.  Her banner looks fantastic, and I just love what she’s done with the cute owl’s eyes!!
