Paper Smooches SPARKS Nov. Picture Perfect challenge

Hello, friends:}

Today we start another weekly challenge over at Paper Smooches SPARKS blog!! The fourth week of the month is always a Picture Perfect challenge.  

This week we are inspired by the following picture:

I was inspired by two elements from this photo (the colors and designs), as well as an outside photo (HERE) for the card design. 

I created a very CAS card (not my style---but I think it turned out ok!) using My Mind's Eye Lavender and Honey papers along with a Crate Paper Story Teller pad. LOVE mixing my papers! I also used two Paper Smooches stamp sets {Pretty Momma and FOLKal Points}. Simple!

So sorry for the horrible pics--I cannot seem to get my white bright tonight :(

That's it for me today--but be sure to stop by the other Paper Smooches SPARKS DT members' blogs and leave them some love.

RCC74 Fall Spirit

Hello, friends:}

Have you played along with this month's Ribbon Carousel challenge yet??? The RCC is now doing monthly challenges with a huge prize at the end for one lucky player!!! The prize::: a ribbon carousel!!!!!! This month's theme/challenge--- Giving Thanks/Fall! 

I created both a fall themed card using my new Simple Stories Harvest Lane papers {available HERE from the RC}. I used several Paper Smooches stamps {Alphadot, Simply Said, Joyful Greetings, Christmas Sampler, Vegtastic, and Squeaky Clean} to create a "thank you" card! Boom--I did both challenge themes! LOVE!!! For my ribbon....I couldn't help but use the natural burlap twine {available HERE from the RC}!!! It's perfect for a "fall" theme! LOVE!

Paper Smooches SPARKS Nov. Cool Shades challenge

Hello, friends:}

Today we start another weekly challenge over at Paper Smooches SPARKS blog!! The third week of the month is always a Cool Shades challenge.  

This week we are inspired by the following photo:

TRUTH TIME--- I'm sad to say that I have to admit these colors threw me for a loop! I literally sat on these colors for a week before going to buy some Bazzill cardstock from Michael's. I wasn't sure if I wanted to make a masculine card (which I have a design for...but the colors didn't work)....or if I wanted to make a friendship card using some flower images {Friendly Flowers}....or what I could do with these four colors! I finally ended up with a Christmas/Holiday card-- LOL! Again...I never thought this would be the case! But I LOOOOOOOOVE my card! I used some My Mind's Eye A Mother's Love and Fancy Pants Designs The Good Life papers {available HERE from the Ribbon Carousel} along with some of the cardstock papers that I got from Michael's. I used only three PS stamp sets for my card {Alphadot, Freezy Fellas, FOLKal Points}. LOVE LOVE LOVE this card! Fun & graphic--and perfect for the holiday season:) **NOTE::: I think I nailed these colors!! Non-traditional holiday card--LOVE x100000! 

That's it for me today--but be sure to stop by the other Paper Smooches SPARKS DT members' blogs and leave them some love.

Another Baby Prayer Journal with Momenta

Hello, friends:}

I have ANOTHER baby prayer journal to share today. ***I told you that several of my friends are having babies! LOL! My Momenta papers are PERFECT for prayer journals!  I love that this 12x12 pad of paper is perfect for these journals--not only is it big enough to fit as the cover for the journal, but these papers have patterns on both sides of the paper! PERFECT:)

This specific prayer journal is for my friend, Ashley. She is having her third child and first little girl. I wanted to give a "family" themed journal because I wanted this gift to be for all three kids. **You can start praying for your children at any age! I love the pink, grey, and hints of green/blue for this book! LOVE how it turned out wit those Momenta alphas (my FAV!!!)!!! 

Be sure to stop by the Momenta shop and Facebook page. You can also check them out on Pinterest!  

Thanks so much for visiting! Be blessed:)
