WHOLE HEART / RS #125...

Happy Saturday!!! We have a brand new sketch up over at RetroSketches! It's based on this card I made a while back. I had some scraps leftover from yesterday's card, and since the colors reminded me of Valentine's, I reached for one of my FAVE Reverse Confetti sets, Crushin'.

   

Big hugs,

LADYBUG DELIVERY / ADFD Ch #101...

Happy Friday! I have a fun little card today showing off another adorable image from A Day For Daisies, called Ladybug Delivery! Our new challenge today is to use torn edges, so I tore the top of the image's panel.

Be sure to head over to the ADFD blog and see the other ladies' inspiration & play along ~ you won't be disappointed!

Big hugs,

EVERYTHING'S BETTER / DS #161...

Happy Thursday! Of course, not quite happy, happy ~ when I tried to get a photo of this early this morning, my camera battery was dead. But I'm here now with my card for this week's new Deconstructed Sketch! Did you play last week? We were sponsored by My Favorite Things, and I am using the set  LLD Delicious Birthday again! This will be for my grandfather's brithday this weekend - he's going to be 89!

YOU MAKE ME SO HAPPY / CQC #251...

Hello! I have a new card for this week's colourQ ~ how about these fun & funky colors??? I totally love them and decided I needed to do some funky stamping to go with it! I also loved the gold in the palette's inspiration, so I threw on a few gold sequins. I used a few brush strokes from My Favorite Things' DC Abstract Art.

( The stamp set was from an add-on of Studio Calico's... it was exclusively designed for them by Avery Elle. Unfortunately it's no longer available. )

have a great day!

YOU ROCK! / RS #124...

Have an awesome day!

HEY THERE / CQC #250...

Hello ~ happy Tuesday! We have a fun new palette for you over at colourQ today - I love it! It's our 250th challenge, how crazy is that??? I used an awesome set from the Alley Way Stamps - Flower Doodles. The sentiment is also TAWS, from Calypso. I just added a few splashes of color with Copics.

Bye for now...

THANKS / RS #123...

Hey there ~ we have a brand new sketch over at RetroSketches! It is so fun and I was so excited to use it! I found a bunch of scraps for my little banners, and used the set Speech Bubbles from Sweet Stamp Shop! Of course, now I am wondering if I should have used a different color for the card base? Hmmmm....

Bye for now...

YOU'RE TEE-RIFFIC...

Hello! How's your weekend? We celebrated my dad's birthday yesterday and today went to a family reunion! Busy, busy! I used the set My Guy from Paper Smooches for my dad's birthday card! The 'grass' and 'sky' were made using My Favorite Things' DC Jumbo Abstract Art.

 

 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

SPECIAL BLESSING / DS #159...

Hello! That means we have a brand new Deconstructed Sketch today! I love the simplicity!!! I decided instead of all paper, I would throw in some colorful washi. I also dug around my button jars and found some patterned buttons to add. I used one of my favorite sets from My Favorite Things -  LJD Cheerful Blessings. I know I use it a lot, but I love the typography and sweet messages of this set. Does anyone know of any other inspirational/religious sets that might be similar? Let me know!

Be sure to to play along and check out all the other ladies wonderful inspiration this week!

HELLO SUMMER Hybrid Treat Box / P&Co Dollar Days...

Hello! I have a little treat box I am showing off today with products from Pixels and Company's Dollar Days - that's right - both of these digital kits were ONE DOLLAR each! I love that when I create a digital file for a hybrid project, I can save it and use it again and again! I printed 2 of the flower, one slightly smaller than the other and rounded the leaves up on the bottom one & down on the top one - then added a real button.

Kits:
Triangle Truffle Box - Kelleigh Ratzlaff Designs
Best Summer Ever | Full Kit - Mommyish

  

Back in a few!
