Papertrey April Blog Hop Challenge

Go Bold

Blog Hop Challenge

Here was our lovely inspiration photo. Navy and pink - this is why I love challenges - I don't think I would have gone towards that color combination otherwise! I also learned if you don't you don't have  a striped paper it is easy to make and it add a beautiful bold look.

 Bold navy stripes and pink flowers. It was so fun getting to use my new Mini Blooms set!

 Bold navy stripes and pink 'hello' But in looking at photo some more I notice the white embossed glass. So the butterfly - if you could see closer - is dry embossed with polka dots. The top butterfly layer is acetate inspired by the clear sparkly glass.

Thanks for the challenge Papertrey Ink! I'm excited to see what everyone made.

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!

Make It Monday #208: Ombre Stamping

So that is how you do ombre stamping with out the harsh ink lines! =) Neat technique I need to learn. 

And oh yeah! Who wouldn't want to eat an Ombre Popsicle?

Have a blessed day!

Double Partial Die Cutting

What a smart technique at PTI this week! I grabbed 'Desktop Design' and had fun trying it out:

a glossy red typewriter in a pretty window

a glossy green typewriter. I really like this card, then it fell on to an open ink pad...ahhhha! I'm not the only who does this right? I went back later and inked it all up so it looked like I meant to do it =)

a sparkly red typewriter on ledger paper in a square window.

Then one card not using the technique but I couldn't stop with this sweet typewriter! I used washi tape to make some sweet pattern typewriters and then paper piece then in to a card.

Have a blessed day and a wonderful EASTER!

He has Risen!

(Goal: next year I'll be on top of making Easter cards right!?)

MAKE IT MONDAY #206

STAMPING AND MIXING PATTERNS

I can stamp patterns...but then mixing them was hard. I still only got two patterns on this card...umm I like 'Clean And Simple' and need more practice putting more on my cards =)

But I did have fun and enjoyed challenging my self to use the little Pretty Pedals set.

Have a blessed day!

Papertrey March Blog Hop Challenge

March Blog Hop

 What fun spring inspiration!

I really loved this picture. The sweet yellow polka dots, the shinny glass, the aqua color, the wood grain and the lemons! So here is my inspired card:

I had to use all those lovely elements and even make my bowl shinny =)

I have another card half done...but we'll see how the day goes.

I can't wait to see what everyone else made!

Have a blessed day!


Finished it late last night =)
