This week we are inspired by the following picture:

Picture: Credit

I think that there are lots of different things you could be inspired by from this photo. I went with the house theme (even though this is a child's bed... it looks like a house).

I created a super pretty friendship card using the Paper Smooches Bitty Bungalows stamps and matching dies. I used some new-to-me My Mind's Eye papers and pulled out my favorite Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko inks to finish this card. Simple but with lots of detail! LOVE it! 

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.

IMAGINE Crafts: Fabrico Marker RECAP

Hello, friends:)

Today I'm sharing a recap of my project over on the Imagine Crafts blog. Click HERE to check it out:) 

****Be sure to change your settings to HD before watching this video! THANKS:)

I used the Tsukineko Fabrico Markers to create super fun sayings and words on my mug rugs. This is such an EASY project!  

Font and script from Silhouette store

Script was traced from Becky Higgins Project Life Inspired edition 6x6 paper pad.

These markers are so easy to use with fabric that I had some of my younger friends (ages 3, 4, and 15) help me out by making some more mug rugs!

Jordan, age 3

Jordan's project- lots of colored scribbles :)

Isaiah, age 4

Isaiah's mug rug had a boat, the sun, his name, and the word MOM :)

Love this photo--- Jordan's tongue is out! He was licking the marker off his fingers and the table. LOL! 

Emily, age 15

Emily's project had a beach scene. 

I hope that you will stop over on the Imagine Crafts blog HERE to check out my video or leave some love! 

Thanks so much for stopping by! Be blessed:)

Paper Smooches SPARKS: Anything Goes (wk5) challenge

Hello, friends:}

Today we start another weekly challenge over at Paper Smooches SPARKS blog!! Another Anything Goes challenge starts today!   

That's right--you get to create ANYTHING you want (as long as you use Paper Smooches stamps)!! This is the BEST challenge ever!!!

This is a card that I made for one of my students from way back in the day... I had her in 4th grade and now she's graduating! YIKES! Time flies! 

I wanted to do a simple design... so I used some IMAGINE Crafts/Tsukineko VersaMagic ink as a watercolor background, along with my PS Congratulations die and star stamp from the Daddy Yo set. EASY! ****NOTE: Now that I look at this card... it looks more like a card for a baby! Just switch the color of ink for a baby boy. I think I might have to make a more appropriate graduation card for my student! LOL! Yup---- I'm using this card for a baby shower next week and I will immediately make a different card for my student:) LOL! 

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.

Paper Smooches SPARKS: May Designer Drafts

Hello, friends:}

Today we start another weekly challenge over at Paper Smooches SPARKS blog!! This week we are sharing a DESIGNER DRAFT challenge. 

This week we are inspired by the following sketch:

**Sentiments can be placed anywhere on the sketch.

Ok---so I think I did a fair job with this sketch! I went vertical... made the circle more of a small accent (speech bubble)... eh! Just when I think I'm doing "well" with sketches-- that's when I go off and do my own thing in Savannahland! LOL! 

I created this Thank You card for my favorite trainer EVER! Yesterday was his last day at my gym, and I wanted to let him know how thankful I am for all of his encouragement and training. I am excited for his new adventures... and hopefully I will see him again soon:) 

I used several PS dies including the Retro Arrow, Word Bubbles, and Quote Tag. I stamped the sentiments (which can be placed anywhere on the sketch--- PERFECT! Again, I went vertical!) from the PS Many Thanks set. I think this card turned out great! LOVE LOVE LOVE! 

You can't see it but I used both black and Espresso Truffle (gray) inks for this card- LOVE! 

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