Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger: Lovely as a Rose

I made this for the Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger challenge. The inspiration piece was a bouquet of beautiful roses and I immediately thought of making a 4 x 4 card and using the colors red, pink and green for my own floral bouquet. I used the floral image from Eclectic Summer and paper pieced the pot using Green Apple cardstock.

It was a fun little card to put together and hope the recipient will enjoy it and the other little goodies :o) Thanks so much for stopping by and hope you have a wonderful day!
Blessings,

Olympic Challenge

I am enjoying creating cards for the Olympic Challenge over on Moxie Fab... The musical score background is from Vintage Borders and I used Lovely Labels to frame the sentiment from Eclectic Summer Sayings. The panel of patterned is Webster's Pages and I sure hope to find someone online that sells this paper...I bought the last one from my LSS :o)

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Tuesday Trigger/Olympic Challenge

I made this for two challenges over on Moxie Fab...the Tuesday Trigger and the Olympics of Stamping Challenge and made this Thinking of You card. I used the stamp sets Lovely Labels, Pressed Flowers, A Year of Flowers and a sentiment from the Eclectic Summer STV kit. I love the yellow, black, and kraft combo and am ready for spring!
Hope you have a wonderful day!
Blessings,

Hello

I stamped quite a few cards over the weekend using this color palette and noticed I didn't have as many scraps as normal which is a good thing...maybe I should start stamping in groups of cards :o) I stamped the flower image from Eclectic Summer with Memento, paper pieced the pot and colored the flowers with my Copics. I wanted some pearl bling to match up with the sage green, but didn't have any.... but then I spied my Copics and thought I would try coloring some white pearls to match and that really did the trick!!! Yes, Linda...I know it is matchy~matchy :o)

I hope you have a wonderful day!

Blessings,

Sketch Girls #2

Well, it is the 30th and that means it is time to share another card made with a Sketch Girls sketch. I have got to say this was a fun one to put together and I enjoyed using my new postage style stamps/template from Just for Fun Rubber Stamps. Be sure and read the bottom of this post for some info. on how to win some free stamps!!!

I used the sea horse image from the Eclectic Summer Stamp TV Kit which I paired with So Saffron, Handsome Hunter cardstock and some dp from the Lime Rickey Basic Grey line.  Did you know new Basic Grey designer paper is being released soon for fall?  I saw it in the new PaperCrafts magazine and I am so excited :o) Honestly, I think Basic Grey is my favorite dp!!! The bottom of the card needed a little something so I wrapped/tied around some green tulle I have in my tulle stash. This stuff is cheap and adds nice texture to a card and the netting is very nautical looking.  The rest of the sketch girls have some fabulous projects to share so if you get a chance, check out all of their eye candy: Leigh Ann, Alyssa, Harriet, Chris, Eve, Sara, Bonnie, Jessica, Julie, Katie, Randee and Tiffany.

Sketch Girls is having a giveaway this week so be sure and stop by and get all of the details to see how you can win a free stamp set (and doesn't everyone need more stamps!!!) :o)))  There will be three lucky winners and those odds are GOOD!  Have a great day!

Happiness

There was a great sketch challenge this week over on StampTV which had the main image panel on an angle, which for me is challenging because I tend to keep things pretty much aligned.  I recently ordered some of the new Basic Grey June Bug designer paper from Limelight Papercrafts and it arrived just in time to use it on this card.  I am not a typical bold and bright kinda girl, but this paper pack just drew me in and jumped right into my cart (along with the Lemonade dp and a few other fun goodies!) :o)  I used the stamp set Many Wishes for both the dandelion and sentiment.  I am just so pleased with how this came together and love the In the Navy cardstock with Regal Rose!  Thanks for stopping by and hope you have wonderful day!

Blog Hop Farewell Tour

It has been a wonderful being one of the designers for Gina K's Center Stage Spotlight Design Team for the month of June.   Gina K. Designs is one of my favorite stamp companies and to be recognized in this way was a huge honor!  Gina has some of the most talented illustrators and designers in the industry on her team and it was a pleasure working with them all this past month.

As part of being Center Stage this month, we were each assigned a stamp set and also given the stamp set Many Wishes which is the One Free with Three stamp set for this month. I love the various sizes of these dandelions and the sentiments.  It will definitely be one of my "go~to" stamp sets!  I am tickled with how both of these cards turned out and hope you enjoy them as well.  I love this butterfly from Take Flight and couldn't resist combining it with this set.


The stamp set that I was assigned for the blog hop was Happy Camper, designed by Theresa Momber, which  is such a wonderful outdoor stamp set. I want to share a page I made this past weekend using the fabulous scrapbook sketch by Erika Martin.  

She has the best sketches each week on StampTV and doing these challenges has really stretched and inspired me to get scrapbooking the memories we make as a family!  I used some of the beautiful new Luxury Soft Sand cardstock.  The title for the page was created using the stamp set Happy Camper as well as Lazy Days of Summer. From the sign, I hung a few fish using some linen thread.

I hope you have enjoyed this part of this farewell tour.... The other ladies on the Center Stage Spotlight Design Team are all very talented and it was a pleasure getting to design with them this month :o)  To continue on the Farewell Tour Blog Hop, visit the rest of the creative Center Stage ladies (Selma, Carolina, Melisa, Pam and Carla) and Gina too, of course!

Tomorrow the next Center Stage Spotlight Design Team will be announced and also have the wonderful opportunity to work with Gina K. and the Design Team! If you would like to be on Center Stage....get creating and uploading to StampTV your Gina K. creation....the design team is always on the prowl looking for someone else to be Center Stage!
Have a great rest of your day!

Saffron Catch

I think this fish in the new StampTV Kit is so stinkin' cute!  I stamped him with Memento Black ink and colored him with various Copics.  All of the layers for this card were sponged with So Saffron ink and I used a stamp from Tropical Flowers to add a little extra greenery.  

It has been a busy couple of days and I am looking to stamp quite a bit this afternoon....hopefully the little one will cooperate :o)) 

I did get some new stamps yesterday that I am just loving....but ssshhhh, I can't share too much just yet :o)   Let me just say....I like these sets VERY MUCH!

StampTV Color Challenge

I have the privilege of hosting the Color Challenge on StampTV this week and created this card using the StampTV Kit Summer Eclectic.  The inspiration for the color combination came from a new Vera Bradley (Bali Blue) purse given to me recently as a gift from my dear parents. 

Just a gorgeous color palette to choose from and I am a huge fan of blue!  

If you get a chance to create a card using these colors, upload it to StampTV using the tag STVCC17.  You do not need to use Gina K stamps to participate, although if you did your name will be added to the prize drawing TWICE!   One winner will be drawn at random to win a Gina K stamp set valued at $24.95 or less.  

Have a great day!

If Nothing Ever Changed

This past Wednesday Gina K. had a new technique challenge on StampTV called Pullin' Pastels. I wasn't too sure about it at first, but my goodness is it easy and a WOW technique.  

I took a piece of In the Navy cardstock and with a cotton ball rubbed various shades of green, blue and yellow pastels to completely cover the cardstock.  Then I inked my butterfly image from the Eclectic Summer StampTV Kit in Versamark and stamped it the center of the In the Navy panel.  To set the chalk, I lightly misted the panel with aerosol hairspray.  I finished the card by using Basic Grey Lime Rickey designer paper, ribbon, and added the quote from the stamp set Take Flight.  A nice simple card with a WOW effect! 

Have a great day!
