Happy Thanksgiving! Today's my day to share a video over on the  Paper Smooches video blog- Virtual Smooches!

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:

Picture: Credit

I love the card that I created-- it's modern and fun... kind of graphic and freestyle! I was inspired by the bicycle-- wanted to do something with a bike built for two and the sentiment that matches.... but that didn't work out! LOL! I also was inspired by the gold color and the transparent/colored balloons. 

I used some Amy Tangerine's Ready Set Go papers along with my Paper Smooches Group Hugs and Promenade stamp sets. **Trav loves that bicycle image! Me too:)  I love the die cut sentiment and those little chevrons near the bottom! I die cut those images using the PS Love Word and Hot Spots SM Set1 dies! LOVE LOVE LOVE!

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.

Ok! So some of you might remember THIS video sharing a tour of my studio. I mentioned in it quickly how I store my ribbons and twines on my Ribbon Carousel. Now because it was a quick mention.... I made a brand new video for you:) 

Here are some still pics of my ribbon carousel before I added the washi tape! I love my Ribbon Carousel! 

My carousel is fully functional in this shelf- it swivels and displays my twine perfectly! LOVE it! 

I store my Whisker Graphics divine twine on my carousel! I use washi tape to keep the spools neat and organized!

Ribbon Carousel #87 and Reverse Confetti

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--- Holidays & Celebrations! 

Savannah Fact: I LOOOOOOOOOOVE Thanksgiving. I love it because there is so much that I'm thankful for. I should be celebrating Thanksgiving EVERY. SINGLE. DAY!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE it!!!

So of course for this challenge, I wanted to create a Thanksgiving card. I used some old Authentique Thankful papers along with my Reverse Confetti Forever Fall and Tag Me dies for this card. I LOOOOOOOOVE how I created that sentiment and layered the banner die cuts! ***NOTE: I actually cut the cream banner so that it was longer! To finish my card, I stitched around the edges and added some May Arts Ribbon twine! LOVE x10000000! 

Tsukineko: Memento Rhubarb Stalk and Rich Cocoa inks

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 color story "Thanksgiving":

 

Light Teal, Light Green, Orange, Red

From the beginning as soon as I saw this color combo, I knew I wanted to make a masculine birthday card. I just felt like these colors screamed that theme!

I used some new S.E.I. On The Coast papers for most of my design- that orange looks a bit red in the photos, but it's really orange! It's pretty (handsome)! I created a design using one of Kim's old sketches-- LOVE Kim! She inspires me DAILY! I used several Paper Smooches stamps including Digits, Yummers, and Enjoy the Show. I also used the PS Borders1 die set to cut the fun center panel and the coordinating Circus Icon die for the elephant image. I added a bit of Whisker Graphics Green Apple divine twine for extra fun! Simple and FAB! 

I guess that Borders1 die made it look like the elephant was jumping on a hill... I promise you that it was just for decoration:) But I guess it works both ways- 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.

And don't forget to stop by the Paper Smooches SPARKS blog for more details!!!! This challenge ends November 24th. I cannot wait to see what you make--I just LOOOOOVE my Paper Smooches stamps SO MUCH!

Reverse Confetti & Whisker Graphics- Thankful For You

Hello, friends:}

*****GIVEAWAY post HERE! 

I had some more time this week to get creative with my Reverse Confetti's and some Whisker Graphics products-- and just in case you missed my post yesterday, I've got a giveaway HERE! You could win a $15 gift certificate!!!!!! LOVE it! 

So for today's project I wanted to create a quick Thank You notecard using some My Mind's Eye Reunion papers and a WG kraft bitty bag as the envelope. I LOOOOOOVE how this turned out! ***And this little notecard and envelope creation is PERFECT for the Simon Says Stamp Wed. challenge (Thanks/Thanksgiving)!!! 

I used the new RC Confetti Tags (Tag Me) die cuts, along with the RC I Like You (heart), Forever Fall, and Celebrate Cake stamp sets for my design. LOVE!  This little card came together quite easily! I finished both the card and envelope with some WG Green Apple divine twine. **I was inspired by a card on THIS blog found on Pinterest.
