Rooting For You

Today I'm linking up to Cupcake Inspirations where the theme this time is In The Garden! I am absolutely a gardener! If I'm not crafting you'll find me outside in the garden soaking up the sun!
This is part of the Postage Collage collection from Waffle Flower. I started with the Wavy Lines stencil that I inked with Distress Ink. Next I stamped images on each square with the Garden Silhouettes stamp set. I used Versafine Onyx Black ink. If you don't line it up to the bottom just right, no worries because a sharpie marker matches the color perfectly.
I topped the inky panel with a Postage Collage Blocks frame in peach. I layered that over a panel that I inked in the same colors as the Wavy Lines. I cut that panel with a Piercing Rectangle to add the little dotted detail along the edge.
A subsentiment printed precut label and a few die cut garden tools from the Gardening Add Ons die set is the finishing touch along with a few enamel dots.
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have a great day!

You Got This

Sending this one out to anyone who might be going through a hard time today. I know sometimes life is rough but know that you're not going through it alone.
This is the Happy Circles die from Waffle Flower. I cut it with white cardstock. If you look close you'll see that I layered it over a panel of Distress Inked paper in rainbow colors.
But if you look even closer you might notice that there is a background of purple too! This is accomplished by using the coordinating stencil set. I inked the purple first, and then switched stencils to add the rainbow colors.
I topped the panel with a great big sentiment from the Old Friend Sentiment Set. It includes four different sentiments as well as the heart die used on my card.
I'm linking up to Word Power Card Challenge where words are always the focus of the design.
Have a great day!

Your Next Chapter Will Be The Best Yet!

Today I'm playing along at Cupcake Inspirations where it's Red White and Blue.
It's been a tough week here. With the weather quality so horrible from the Canada wildfires, I'm trying to spend more time indoors but I'm missing the sunshine and the garden!
Hobbies are always a good thing to occupy the mind. Reading is another great hobby and I love that I can mix a few of my favorite things in one place.

I started with the Pink and Main One For The Books stamp set. I inked the books and then layered them over the Fancy Oval With Bow that makes a gorgeous focal point!
The pretty papers are from the Sunrise Paper Pack. The finishing touch is a sprinkle of sparkly gems!
Thanks for stopping by and stay safe!

My Creative Scrapbook June Kit



Thanks for stopping by! I hope you're having a great day! If you're looking for a great way to treat yourself I hope you consider trying a subscription to one of the My Creative Scrapbook monthly kits. They select the pattern papers and lots of coordinating supplies and deliver it straight to your front door so all you have to focus on is MAKING! Every month they have several kits to choose from.. their Main Kit, LE - Limited Edition, Creative Kit and Album Kit - so you can choose what's right for you!


This time I'm playing with the Main Kit that includes 12" papers and embellishments from Pink Fresh Studio "Fresh Start" Collection. You'll also find die cuts, stickers, and lots more! Everything is hand selected with care and perfectly coordinated to work together and shipped directly to your door!
This collection relates to everyday life. You'll find images for your desktop including books, mugs, writing utensils, and arts supplies. There's also a little motivation for your mojo.. caffeinated mugs and coffee makers!
The paper prints are plaids, stripes, florals and hearts. They're mostly soft pastels with a bit of darker shades in complimentary colors. I found the prints really helpful for scene cards - like plaids for desktops and lighter prints for "wallpaper" backgrounds.
There are lots of sentiments in die cuts and stickers. I even cut a few sentiments from the printed paper to add to the designs.

Once your designs are laid out it's time for the embellishments. The collection has several round embellishments as well as different types of paper clips.

Everything you see on my cards is included in the kit EXCEPT for the white cardstock card bases, solid cardstock cover matts, adhesives and enamel dots. Things that you already probably have in your stash right now.
You'll have fun making cards or documenting memories with this kit. No matter what your style too. I love to make scene cards, but collage, mixed media, clean and simple, layered..... whatever your style you make this kit yours!
I invite you to join one of their monthly kit clubs and experience the possibilities that their coordinated kits offer. With plenty of innovative materials and ideas to jump start your imagination, preserving your memories and making cards will be effortless and enjoyable. You can see all of the different kits available this month here at My Creative Scrapbook.

I'm linking to Love Those Pretty Papers Challenge where it's anything goes with an optional fancy fold.

Brighter Days Are Ahead

Today I'm playing at Moving Along With The Times and Pearly Sparkles Challenge Blog where they're both looking for one or more butterflies.
I thought I'd go CAS - Clean and Simple today with this card featuring the Pink & Main's Brighter Days stamp set. First I swiped the new TWINKLE ink in rainbow shades to create a background. These new inks are dye based - meaning they sink into the paper, and leave behind a gorgeous sparkly shimmer.
I topped the rainbow stripes with a clean butterfly and sentiment that I stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink. This ink always leaves a crisp impression on any detailed stamp.
The finishing touch is a few gold jewels that come on a sheet complete with sticky adhesive so just peel and stick.
I hope you have a great day!
