Limelight Papercrafts Sketch Challenge #49

It is time for another fabulous Limelight Papercrafts Sketch!!!! I am tagging along again this month as Guest Designer and have to say.... don't you love these sketches :o) Mandy has so many wonderful goodies in her store, is just so sweet to deal with...AND rumor has it some BIG sales are coming :o) Got to LOVE THAT!!! The product focus for the sketch is on butterflies and I immediately thought of Webster's Pages Seaside Retreat, Garden Gala and Nature's Storybook (which has some beautiful butterflies on quite a few sheets). Two of the butterflies on this card are printed on the paper. I stamped a third butterfly from A Beautiful Life, colored it with Copics and popped it up on a glue dot. The sentiment is from Hope is Faith. I also used some Crochet Lace and Kaisercraft Pearls on the scalloped edge.

Here is the sketch this week and sure hope you can play along:

One lucky participant will receive a grab bag containing 5 yards of ribbon (1 yard each of 5 of styles...what a GREAT prize!!!) Be sure to check out the Limelight Papercrafts Design Team...

Your next stop is...Lisa A.

Thanks for stopping by and hope you enjoy the HOP!

Limelight Papercrafts DT Challenge: Weddings!

Welcome to another Limelight Papercrafts Blog Hop! Mandy challenged us to create either a keepsake, gift, favor, and a card with a wedding theme. At first I was completely stumped trying to think of something that would last... would be a keepsake...and finally thought of photos! I made a card and altered a CD holder that could be used for either wedding photos or DVD of the couple's wedding.

For my projects, I used some more beautiful Webster's Pages patterned paper (from Garden Gala/Seaside Retreat/Nature's Storybook) and some Crochet Natural Trim. The flowers were made from a Tim Holtz Tatterered Florals Sizzix die and stamped with the worded background from Vintage Backgrounds. The wedding sentiment is from A Beautiful Life.

Here is a look at the CD holder, using the same patterned paper...

Be sure and stop by the Limelight Papercrafts Design Team for even more wedding themed inspiration:






I hope this gives you an idea for a wedding gift to include for a couple you know who might be getting married soon. Thanks so much for stopping by...

A Beautiful Life

I made this card using the new stamp set from Melanie: A Beautiful Life. The sentiments in this set are so beautiful and meaningful that it is a perfect set for cardmaking/scrapbooking. I wanted to create a quick card so stamped this on a piece of Postcards from Paris patterned paper from Webster's Pages and colors the tulips with Copics. The tulips were also outlined with a Stardust pen to create a bit of sparkle.
Thanks so much for stopping by and hope you have a wonderful day!
Blessings,

Tuesday Trigger

I made this card for the Tuesday Trigger over on the Moxie Fab Blog this week. Here was the actual Tuesday Trigger brought by Carolyn King:


I just loved the wicker chair and the pop of green from the pillow. I used three different stamp sets for this one, a label from Lovely Labels, the butterfly from A Beautiful Life (which I popped up with a glue dot in the center), and the sentiment is from Spring Has Sprung. The texture was created with a Cuttlebug folder and lightly sponged with Cocoa Bean ink. Hope you are having a great weekend and thanks for stopping by!
Blessings,

Gina K March Release Preview Day 1

I am very excited to be working with the amazingly talented Gina K. Designs DT this month! I have had a fabulous time creating with the even more fantabulous (yep, made up a new word) March release stamps that I can hardly stand it!

First up is
A Beautiful Life by Melanie Muenchinger...

Isn't this just soooo Melanie! I am a huge fan of her floral sets and this is such a great set. I stamped on a new color to the Luxury Cardstock selection: Bubblegum Pink and embossed it with white embossing powder. I didn't want to color in all of the tulips so merely outlined them a bit and LOVED the way they popped! The butterflies were embossed on vellum, cut out and popped up with a small glue dot. This was the first card I made and truly...I squealed with delight when it came together just the way I envisioned it :o)


Next Sending Sunshine from Theresa Momber...


...and more embossing! This time on Glossy cardstock and brayered with a spectrum pad. Love the tire swing in this set...so cool! I have many fond memories of swinging on one as a child.


And lastly for this evening... Fairy Tales by Tami Mayberry.


Oh, I just adore the images in this set and can see so many cards and scrapbook pages made with this stamp set! For this card I used Passionate Pink and Black Oynx and made a princess card.

Are you ready for even more inspiration?
