Auburn Football Fans

Found this paper for a steal and couldn't pass it up.  I started with a blank canvas, the color very similar to Stampin' Up!'s Brilliant Blue (now retired).  I wanted something cheerful and selected Pumpkin Pie as my "pop" of color.  The beautiful colors of Auburn University in Alabama.

Blendabilities - Who Knew

I don't color well.  I mean, my coloring is ALWAYS lousy.  That is until Stampin' Blendabilities came on the market.  There are so many great YouTube videos that show you how, step, by step.  My FAVORITE how to is not on YouTube; I discovered a handy guide created by Kaitlyn.  Click HERE for the link to that guide.

Kaitlyn also was the inspiration for my bookmarks.
