Hi everyone!!! Welcome back to this week's Sweet Stamp Shop's Throwback Thursday. I am featuring Pattern Craze on the blog today and....

Pattern Craze

 I use this stamp set a lot because of the versatility I get from it.

This week I took my inspiration from the Play Date Cafe's challenge blog. The theme for this week's challenge was, It's a {Splash} of Neon. I just LOVED their color scheme they had going...Black, white, and neon yellow (although it looks green to me and that is what I used for my card, neon green)

 

It's VERY TRENDY this week just like the stamp set. I didn't enter my card in the challenge since it was over before Thursday's Throwback, but it is still fun to play along and a GREAT way to draw your inspiration from. I was also going to use a sketch from another challenge blog, but I ended up doing my own thing once I broke out the stamp set and got to work.

This is my card that I came up with:

I got out my watercolor pencils for this card and colored in some of the hearts with black on the panel I created, just to give it a little pop and add a little something! Then to give the panel I stamped and embossed on separation, I matted in black. Next, I grabbed the plain hexagon and the dot hexagon and stamped on white and trimmed out. I like the idea of just layering them slightly underneath with out being "neat" about it. For a little more texture, I broke out the trusty mist and added some neon splash and then my black and neon pens and did some border lines. Then I just accented with a few embellies and a sentiment.
.

For my sentiment I first stamped Epic from Starts Here in neon green and then stamped right in the middle, Happy Birthday from Zombies. I love how perfectly they fit together.

Sweet Little Geek Chic Toilet Paper Roll Mini Album

Happy Thursday sweet friends!

It's Emily here today with another one of my bright, fun, mini albums to share! 

I've been so inspired by all of the neon colors and prints sweeping the industry lately. It kind of takes me back to my childhood in the 80's. 

I was in the store one day and I spotted these awesome neon acrylic paints. I HAD to have them! I knew that I would end up using them somewhere. Plus, they go hand in hand with my new neon inks that I just bought! 

I ended up painting some empty toilet paper rolls with the neon green paint. The paint was really sheer at first, so I had to give it a few coats. You can't really tell from the photos, but the base of the album is actually neon green. 

I think it's amazing to transform something as simple as an empty toilet paper roll into a beautiful mini album. Most people wouldn't even know that it was made from toilet paper rolls! I always add little pull out tags to my albums, another great thing about using tp rolls, you have the perfect spot to add the pull out tags! 

Of coarse, I used one of my favorite new stamp sets... Geek Chic! When I decided to go with the neon theme, I KNEW I wanted to use the cute little girl wormie and color her neon green. 

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope I was able to inspire you with my very bright creation! 

♥ Emily
