Love Bug Birthday

Hi Everyone! I've been super busy finishing up the invites for my daughters upcoming birthday party. I finished them late last night so now I'm back. :) This card was created using two of the new releases from Paper Smooches. The butterfly and "love bug" sentiment are from Giddy Bugs and the "happy birthday" is from Sentiment Sampler. I love how easy it is to mix and match Kim's stamps. Fun, fun! The patterened paper is from My Mind's Eye and has been popping up in several of my cards lately. Love it. Need more. :) Have a great Monday! PS- Remix is on hold until after my daughter's birthday. Too much going on right now. ;)

Remix #3: Card Inspiration + WINNER ANNOUNCED

Hi Everyone! Wow, what a hop huh? Thanks for all of your sweet comments and welcome to all of my new followers that joined me on my last post. Lily Pad is up and running and it's so much fun!

Over the next week or so I will take this card that I designed and use it as inspiration to create a scrapbook page.

I used Signature Greetings , Banner Builder and Delightful Doilies . I added some twine and buttons to compete my banner. I can't wait to get started on my layout. Just need to pick some pictur...

Hooray Hooray Birthday Card

Hi Everyone! Happy Tuesday! Here is a card I made for my favorite niece who just turned 6. I added lots of glitter and pink for the birthday girl along with a few other fun colors. I stamped the banner after stitching the card so I could hang it in the right place. All the stamps are from Hero Art's Life of the Party Birthday . Thanks for stopping by!

Scooting By

Hi Everyone! How about a bright and colorful card today? It all started with some patterned paper from Cosmo Cricket paired with the SUPER cute Paper Smooches scooter. I used a Copic marker to shade in the wheels and lights. Just an easy trick to avoid small paper piecing. For the clouds I used the reverse side of the stamp (the part that normally clings to the block) to stamp the white fluffy image and turned the stamp over to the right side and inked actual cloud image right on top. The die cut button, edge design and banner are all from Papertrey Ink . Thanks for stopping by today! Hope you have a great day!

An Apple a Day

Hi Everyone! How about another card using Paper Smooches stamps? This was also a reject from Paper Crafts Go-To Sketches. Despite its rejection its a card that makes me smile. Something about apples just brings a smile to my face. :) I paper pieced the apple, added one of Jane's adorable buttons, and placed it on a smile layered background. Hope you had a great weekend!
