Paper Smooches Sparks Picture Perfect Challenge: April 13-19



Hello everyone!!  

Todays project is for the Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge!
This week is a picture perfect challenge and we are to use this photo as an inspiration for our project:


I just absolutely love how colorful this picture is!
There was one thing that really inspired me when I saw this and that was, of course, all the strings.
So when I was going thru my Paper Smooches collection, I knew that I had to incorporate that into my project!  ....And here is what I came up with:




I just absolutely love this clean and simple card! Isn't that light just darling?!
I used all the banners and strings to inspire the cord on this lamp.  As you can see in the stamp set below, the cord on the lamp is fairly short. so what I did was not stamp it at all when I place the lamp onto my project. I then figured where exactly I wanted the string, or "cord", then stamped just the plug part at the very end.

Here are all the supplies I used for this project...pretty simple today!


Thanks again for stopping by and be sure to head on over to Paper Smooches HERE to purchase this stamp set and any others that they have in stock!

Have a Happy Easter!

Lawnscaping Challenge #78: #2

Two-fer-Thursday! Lol!

As I said in my previous post...I've been on creating overload this afternoon!  
Here is the second card that I created for the challenge over on the Lawn Fawn Lawnscaping Challenge Blog! Theme is Clean and Simple!


As are many of my projects, this card was inspired by the first card I created! 
When I used the sun on my previous card, it inspired me to use sun shine and bright colors!
My personal challenge was to do all stamping and no die cuts! Success!





The new stamp set "Hello Sunshine" has to be one of the most versatile and fun sets that I have recently purchased!  I absolutely love every element in it!  I wanted to use some of those smaller elements in this project which inspired the double heart stamping.

Here is are the items I used in today's project:

Lawnscaping Challenge #78

Hello Thursday!

Its Friday for me and today I have spent some quite some time this afternoon creating!
Today's project is one of 2 that I created for the Lawn Fawn Lawnscaping Challenge #78.
Here's the challenge...


Hmmmm....clean and simple....sometimes this can be so difficult!  But I think I pulled it off!






For this project I wanted to use EVERYTHING Lawn Fawn...and I did it!!!  
The papers are from the Peace, Love, Joy 6x6 paper pad, sequins are the Into the Woods Sequins and the stamps and dies are all from the new 2014 CHA release!
I absolutely LOVE the little yellow flowers in the grass!  
Adds the little sparkle that I'm used too without over doing it!

Here are the supplies I used for today's project:

Avery Elle Challenge #2: Embellishments


 Hello Friday!!!!
Today I have a project for you that I created for the Avery Elle I <3 U Challenge!
The challenge is to use Embellishments!
I have been in love with sequins lately, so I decided to use those,
but I also decided to pull out and dust off my burlap!
I haven't used that in ages!
The "For You" stamp is a free digi image from the Avery Elle blog which can be found HERE




I used my copics in colors bg10, bg13, rv21, rv23, v04 and v09 for the flowers and yg95 and yg99 for the leaves.  For the boarder around the sentiment, I used e34 and e39.  I added the Wink of Stella clear glitter onto the flowers and leaves as well. After fussy cutting the image, I adhered that onto the panel of burlap then adhered that onto the card base.
On the card base, I stared by flicking some purple color mist and let it dry thoroughly before I adhered the burlap panel on. Once everything was dry, I finished it off with white, purple and moonshine sequins!

Not only was this a great use of some "older" embellishments, but if made a very cute clean and simple card!

If you'd like to play along with Avery Elle's challenge, there is still lots of time!

Have a super weekend!
