Embellish Color Challenge with BIRDS!

I have a super quick post for today! I came across this lovely Embellish Color Challenge a couple of days ago and decided that I would give it a try. I really really love these colors and simply chartreuse from Papertrey Ink is a color that for the past month I use on almost every card. I just love that color. I pulled out my Basic Birds Stamp set from TAC since the sponsor of the challenge is TAC's Chris Franco. I really like the deep chocolate brown ribbon and I feel it finishes the card of nicely!

So excited!

My pinwheel card was picked for last weeks challenge over at the CARDS blog! It always makes me so happy because there are so many talented ladies who get picked! I love following that blog and Paige is so good at what she does (I love seeing her colorful cards), hope you stop by for a glance at the awesome cards!

CARDS Pinwheel challenge

I sure had a lot of fun with these little pinwheels! They are fast and easy to make and really make a fun addition to a cute card. I used Basic Grey Kraft pattern paper for the actual pinwheel, along with the stem of a Q-Tip stained with Colorbox Charcoal Chalk Ink. I wanted to make a really simple card so that the pinwheel was the real focus. I simply stamped Hero Arts clouds background with Aqua Mist by Papertrey Ink. I used Chartreuse paper to make a hill and a little sentiment from Everyday button bits also by Papertrey Ink.

Cleaning out some stamps

Here are some stamps I am selling! If you are interested here is the link to my ebay.

My husband's birthday just happens to be the 4th of July, so here is the card I made him this year.


I created the patterned squares for this card using Papertrey's Polka Dot 2 stamp set, along with PTI's Dahlia set and Sassafras Lass Blooms and Stalks set. The sentiment is from the Everyday button bits set which I really love! I gained inspiration for this card from the July 2010 issue of Better Homes and Gardens. I love it when you see the cover of a magazine and you immediately have hundreds of ideas for cards!

Cards Monochramatic Color Challenge

I decided to try my hand at the Cards Monochramatic color challenge. I really had fun trying my hand at this challenge and also discovered I really love GREEN! I am hoping it isn't to simple, but lately that is kind of my style.

Long time no see!

Well after 2 and half months of no cards, or even looking at stamps I finally feel good enough to make some! I am just now 16 weeks pregnant and when I am pregnant I have a rough couple months, but now I am getting to the good part. This will still be a short and sweet post through, because my little man just woke up.

This little guy warms my heart! He is so kind, adorable and loving! I just had to share him with you!!

Thanks for stopping bye,
