    Thanks

    I combined a couple of challenges today and it gave me a good excuse to dig into the Home Sweet Home Collection by Carta Bella

    When I saw the challenge from The Card Concept I knew I wanted to use this collection.

    I was inspired by the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches. I combined the papers with some of the elements, added stitching a die cut sentiment (CTMH) and called it done.

    Of course, playing along at Simon Says challenge and the Time Out Challenge (gingham, basket)

    That’s all for today. Hope you have a great weekend.

  • Hydrangea Thank You

    Hydrangea Thank You

    The new Inspired By Challenge is up. I love this one. My grandma always had blue hydrangeas on either side of her front door (and I actually have one in my yard that is a cutting that was started form one of hers!)

    I was inspired by the theme, colors,, hydrangeas, and loosely by the sketch. As soon as I saw the challenge I knew that the new Flower Shoppe collection by Carta Bella was perfect ( I absolutely love this new collection!)

    I used an old MFT background die to add some more depth to the background. Then I layered on pieces of the pattern paper and one of the frames from the Frames & Tags and then stitched. I then topped with a hydrangea sticker. As always I adhered the sticker to scrap paper and fussy cut out so I could mount of foam squares. The thank you is also a sticker from the collection.

  • S’more Than You Know

    S’more Than You Know

    When I saw this week’s sketch from Freshly Made Sketches I knew what I wanted to do.

    I thought of this oldie (but goodie) S’More die set from MFT. I die cut out the sticks and marshmallows then inked the edges of the marshmallows a bit. I mounted them on foam squares.

    The sentiment and large marshmallow are from The Stamps of Life.

    Now I just have to make up a S’More themed gift basket and find someone to give if to 😏

    Here’s the sketch and I am playing along with Just Us Girls as well because it was time to dig out these fun dies again!

  • Thanks for being so sweet

    Thanks for being so sweet

    Hey everyone, the new Inspired By challenge is up and it is a sweet one 😉.

    I was inspired by the theme, colors and sketch this week. I was excited to use my Pink & Main Box of Donuts dies along with an old MFT frame die. The sentiment is from The Stamps of Life and the enamel dots are from Echo Park.

    I mounted the donuts on foam squares and finished them off with some fun sprinkles. Now which donut would you choose?

    Come play along with us over at Inspired by! I am also entering this into the Simon Says challenge

    Baking Up Some Thanks

    The new Inspired By Challenge is up.I really love the colors in this week’s inspiration and had planned on doing something with them but then I remembered I had the Mom’s Kitchen collection from Echo Park just waiting to be used so I dug it out and went along with the theme.

    I embossed the mint cardstock with an embossing folder from Unity. The recipe card, is just that, a recipe card – Echo Park has some fun ones! I just cut it down and used a notebook punch to add some detail.

    I adhered the stickers to some scrap paper then fussy cut them out and mounted them on foam squares. The thanks die is from CTMH and I love the gingham washi tape in the Mom’s Kitchen collection so I added a bit of it too.

    check out this week’s inspiration and be sure to play along
