Embellish Color Challenge with Hearts!

If your interested in a fun Color Challenge you should hop on over to the Embellish Magazine Website! It is a very trendy fun site! When I first saw the above picture I immediately started brainstorming ideas for a card. I just love the picture collages for these challenges, lets just say it is very easy to get inspired!

For my card I used a stamp set from The Angel Company called "Love Doodles". My sister just happens to sell for this great company so I easily get my hands on their stuff. This set might have been discontinued I'm not for sure, but it is a favorite of mine. I also used Papertrey Ink's Fresh Alphabet, which is very handy to have around!

Well, thank you for stopping by and hope you enjoyed looking around!

Raspberry Suite Color Challenge #21

Well I am certainly rusty when it comes to writing a blog entry, it has been a while but I am glad I am back! Today I took some time to make a few cards for Dawn's new Challenge. The colors she choose were Lemon Tart, Dark Chocolate, vintage or rustic cream, and aqua mist.

I love all of these colors so much, but I had a hard time since I don't have a lot of vintage cream, actually I only have a small ink pad and the buttons.

Lately I have been over thinking, so today I I tried to keep it simple. I actually really like how my card turned out. I used a technique I saw on one or more of Kristina video's (for the flower).

Hope you enjoyed and thanks for stopping by!

Been a while!

My computer has been having some hiccups so I haven't been able to load pictures. I still have some pictures to go through so I might be back with some more later.



I had trouble deciding on what kind of Christmas card to make this year so I did a whole lot of different ones. The top two are a couple of cards I took pictures of before sending out.

I have been trying to keep up with online challenges but time is going by to fast! I can't believe it is almost Christmas. I have to find some time to wrap presents before one of our family Christmases this weekend, so I guess I better get to it!

Polka Dot Card for Raspberry Suite Challenge #19

While my little boy was taking his nap I decided to put together a card for Dawn's Color Challenge. I just bought a circle punch on sale from Michaels so decided to do a little polka dot action along with some puffy letters. I certainly enjoyed making this card with my free time today!

EBTKS Sketch Challenge

This week I gave the EBTKS sketch challenge a try. My card below uses Papertrey Kraft cardstock, along with Cosmo Cricket "Early Bird" pattern paper. At first I was really unsure of this particular pattern paper, but I have grown to love it!! It is actually almost gone! I have been a little obsessed with sewing on cards lately, so I just had to add some thread!

Stamp set : THE ANGEL COMPANY Trendy Greetings

Ribbon: Papertrey Ink
