Today I'm sharing a project using the NEW Bird Houses dies. I kept this card simple- using fun papers and making those little birds and their house the center of the card:) 

I also used the PS Love & Cherish and Speech Bubbles dies. This card was SUPER easy to make and is perfect as a birthday card or a card to welcome a new baby! I love the colors and the modern look- FUN x10000000! 
Be sure to stop by the PS blog for details about this blog hop and giveaway! And don't forget to leave some love on the DT's blogs:)

Virtual Smooches: Trav's Card Style #6 and January challenge

Hello, friends:}

Today is my day to share a video over on the  Paper Smooches video blog- Virtual Smooches! **Note: Thursdays and/or Fridays are my NEW days to post on the VS blog:) 
First I need to apologize for another huge canyon sized gap between my videos! I am having back issues (STILL), as well as iMovie problems (I'm trying to learn a new program since my other one went on the fritz!). 

Today I'm joining in the fun again with the Paper Smooches January color challenge [HERE]. This card was featured on the PS blog two weeks ago. I made this video to go along with it but couldn't post it right away because I was trying to figure out the program! LOL! 

Here's a sneak peek of my video:

Paper Smooches challenge- January #2 and #3

Hello, friends:}

I'm back after a LONG break--- well, I'm kind of back! I am not in my studio as much because I'm dealing with a back injury/going to the doctor/etc. I'm not sure what happened, but I can tell you that I didn't go to the doctor immediately! That was a big mistake! Two weeks ago I couldn't even open the car door without lots of pain:( I guess I've learned my lesson. 

So I want to catch up today! 

I have two cards to share for the NEW Paper Smooches monthly challenge. The challenge for January is...... 4 COLORS!  *See notes below about color combos!!!  Picture: Credit

************The challenge is to create a PS project using 4 colors- use one of the 4 color combos from the photo or make up your own! ***NOTE: white, black, grey, cream, and kraft are neutral colors. So technically you could have a 5+ color combo:) 
This first card was featured last week and will possibly be featured in my VS video this week. ****NOTE: I've got a story for why I'm not sharing as many videos! I'll tell you about it hopefully in my next video this Thursday:) 

This next card was created using my new Neocolor II crayons! I don't normally color images, but this was kind of fun (minus when I went outside the lines! ACK! A small freakout definitely happened!)! I used only the Paper Smooches  Comforting Hugs stamp set for this card. EASY! I used the following 4 colors and neutral colors- lime green, jade green, purple violet, and golden yellow; neutral colors: white/black---- I love it!
I am trying a new photo design... thoughts?
That's it for me today! I hope you will join in the fun--- you could win a $50 gift certificate to the PS store!!! Be sure to stop by HERE to link up and to play along! 

THANKS so much for stopping by! Be blessed:}

Paper Smooches challenge- January 2016

Hello, friends:}

Today we start a NEW Paper Smooches monthly challenge. The challenge for January is...... 4 COLORS!  *See notes below about color combos!!! 

Color combos are always so hard for me.... but you don't have to stick to just plain paper! You can use patterned paper, different colored ribbons, and sequins or enamel dots! You could use just about anything to make up your color combo:)  

************The challenge is to create a PS project using 4 colors- use one of the 4 color combos from the photo or make up your own! ***NOTE: white, black, grey, cream, and kraft are neutral colors. So technically you could have a 5+ color combo:) 
I originally was going to make a card based on a color combo from the photo, but I went with some patterned paper! LOL- that's true to my "Savannah Style". I used some older American Crafts Polka Dot Party papers along with the Paper Smooches WavesFoliage 3, and Happy Birthday Words dies. I used the following 4 colors and neutral colors- coral pink, teal, yellow, and gold; neutral colors: white/black---- I love it!  

That's it for me today! I hope you will join in the fun--- you could win a $50 gift certificate to the PS store!!! Be sure to stop by HERE to link up and to play along!
