  • Happy Birthday

    Happy Birthday

    The new Inspired By Challenge is up and I was inspired by the theme and the colors to create my card. I bet you wouldn’t guess that I used a very Easter themed collection for this? It is the Easter Basket collection from Echo Park, love when paper packs are versatile.

    The Cake stamp and die is from CTMH one and I paired it with a notebook stamp and die from Stampin Up. I paper pieced the cake and mounted it on foam squares. I then topped it with the birthday die from Echo Park. This was one of those 11th hour type of cards and luckily for me, it all went together well.

    Now check out this week’s Inspired By Challenge, I hope you play along!

  • Let’s Go Shopping

    Let’s Go Shopping

    The new Inspired By Challenge is up and it is a fun one. I love the colors. The Cafe made me think of a little cafe in Europe so I decided to use the French Girl collection from Echo Park. I was inspired by the colors and the sketch and instead of a cafe, I have a boutique. Reminds me of when I shopped on the Champs Élysées – window shopping of course because it was much too expensive for me LOL!

    I adhered the stickers to some scrap paper then fussy cut them out so that I could mount on foam squares.

  • Baby Girl One Year Mini Album

    Baby Girl One Year Mini Album

    I had fun creating this mini album out of the Little Lullabies Baby Girl collection from Echo Park

    I used some mini envelopes as the base and then created an accordian album complete with monthly journaling spots. Free instructions can be found HERE

    It all ties into a nice little album, which would make a great keepsake or even a grandma gift

  • I find my happiness

    I find my happiness

    I am up on the Coffee Loving Papercrafters blog today with a new theme challenge for the Lattes & Layers. This month is all about rainbows.

    Looking for inspiration? You could incorporate Rainbow by using:
    • an actual rainbow in your design
    • a rainbow of layered colors or patterned papers
    • ombré or tone-on-tone color palettes
    • mugs, cups, or drink elements with colorful accents

    I have used the You Are My Sunshine collection from Echo Park. The mug is from the I Like Big Cups stamp set by Creative Worship stamps, and the sentiment is from the You Are My Sunshine: Life Is Good Stamp Set also from Echo Park

    Now come and play along and let me see those rainbows!

  • Spring Has Sprung

    Spring Has Sprung

    The new Inspired By Challenge is up and it it very fitting for the month of April. A rainbow of gum boots! I was inspired by the gum boots and used the In Full Bloom collection by Echo Park Paper

    The gum boots stamp is from CTMH and believe it or not, I have some pink ones like this, some baby pink Hunter boots…. I mounted all the images on foam squares for some dimension. The Spring die is from Echo Park as well.

    Now I would love to see how you are inspired… come on over and play along!

  • Spring Chicken

    Spring Chicken

    This month’s Uniquely Unity kit from @unitystampco is a fun one with a couple of chicken images.

    I used this first one to play along with a couple challenges

    I coloured her with copics and then cut out to mount on foam squares.

    I paired it with the You Are My Sunshine paper from @echoparkpaper. To add a little interest I backed it with an old die from Reverse Confetti and added some glaze to her eyes.

    This fun stamp set is on sale right now so be sure to grab it!

    Playing along with:

  • Easter Basket Trio

    Easter Basket Trio

    I have a few cards created for @echoparkpaper using the fun Easter Basket collection.

    I had fun creating them and the instructions are up on the Echo Park website so you can easily re-create them! A tip I have and usually do with stickers is that I adhere them to scrap paper then fussy cut out so that I can mount on foam squares.

  • Oh Crop!

    Oh Crop!

    Hey everyone, I am here with my take on this week’s Inspired By Challenge. When I saw the stripes and the bright happy colors I thought of the new Craft Room collection by Echo Park. So many fun things in this collection, perfect for us crafters. When I saw the Oh Crop chipboard element I thought I would make a Oh Crop I missed your birthday but then this came to mind. I used the sketch and created this:

    It also gave me an excuse to use this neglected stamp and die from CTMH that I don’t think I ever used (have you ever purchased something then never used it? 😉😂- pretty sure I am not the only one!)

  • A Little Wine

    A Little Wine

    I am so excited to have my first projects up on the Echo Park page today. For this one I used the new Wine collection to create a couple of cards and a wine bottle tag. Would be perfect for a girls night don’t you think?

    If you are a wine drinker, or have some friends that are, then you need this collection! So many fun elements and stickers in it.

    Now you can check out the collection HERE

  • Poppin In

    Poppin In

    When I saw the sketch from CAS colors and sketches, I knew what stamp set I wanted to use. I thought the Windowsill Woodlands from Unity would work well. What do you think?

    The paper and hello die are from Echo Park. I mounted the animals on foam squares.

    The stamp set is on sale right now so be sure to grab it!

    Now here’s the sketch:
