I'm playing a new challenge today - two of my bloggie friends Kim From Cupcakes Cards and Kim, and Yvonne from My Paper Station both made it on to the design team at Simply Create Too! I'm so happy to see them both on a new team so of course I'm going to play along! The challenge this time - it's a two week challenge - is to make a Mother's Day or feminine card.
I decided to make a Mother's Day card with my favorite Lil Inker stamp. I adore this nostalgic image and I can't tell you how much this one makes me think of my mom. I really need to take a picture of the portrait of her and show it side by side with this stamp some day. It's her down to the little bow in her hair.
Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day! If you get a chance stop over at Simply Create Too and say hello and welcome to Kim and Yvonne - they'd sure be happy to hear from you!

Another cold and snowy winter day in the Chicago area! The weather man says there is up to 7 inches headed our way before the day is over. I've been starting to day dream about walking on the beach, and sitting in the sun in the yard. Good thing I have my crafty hobby to keep me busy - and thinking positive thoughts!! Today I'm playing along with Fusion Card Challenge. Here's the inspiration photo - you can work with the photo, OR the sketch, OR both. I decided to do both. I saw the string of circles and decided to turn them into hearts. Can you believe it's February??
It was fun to go through all my supplies and find all the little hearts that I could. This is a collection of all sorts of dies and punches (Martha Stewart, Quickutz, Spellbinders).
This one was lots of fun - and if you'd like to play along there's plenty of time - its a two week challenge!

Happy February! Today begins a new challenge at Paper Sweeties. To celebrate the design team and alumni have a blog hop to kick things off. It's a great way to have some fun with your Paper Sweeties stamps and just maybe win a few more sets! You can get all the details and link up your creations here.
Here's the inspiration photo for this month. You can use the photo or the colors as your inspiration. I wanted to make a Valentine with lots of bright fresh color. The sentiment is from "So Sweet of You". It has a larger size sentiment that I knew would look perfect here.
Here's a list of all the designers participating in the hop today - just click on their name to jump to their blog.
