Hello, friends:}
WOW! I have to say that last week's players were AMAZING over at EtsyInspired! LOVED all the entries--and congrats to our winners!!
This week we are headed over to Modern Bird. OH MY--talk about super cute jewelry pieces. I LOVE all the birds! SOOOO tweet:} Our sponsor this week is Kutz. This is another fabulous Etsy store. They make crafting EASY! You have got to check them out HERE!
I was inspired by so many jewelry pieces at Modern Bird, but I only had time to make one card this week. BUMMER! I love this card, though! It is sooooooo not my style! LOVE IT! I was inspired by the prop for these earrings. I used my Artistic Outpost Birds of a Feather stamp set. OHHH--just love that metal circle with the sentiment! **NOTE:: a funny about this card--I stamped that text on the right side first...it was upside down! So I just covered it with other K&Co. papers. It wasn't funny at first, but I loved the end product! LOL!
That's it for me today--but there's more eye candy to look at! Be sure to stop by all the EIC DT members' blogs! OH MY--jaw dropping projects!!
Be sure to stop by the EIC blog for more details--we have 2 winners this week! Remember to link up your creation by Friday, January 21 at noon Pacific Time. Can't wait to see what you make!!
Thanks so much for stopping by! LOVE being inspired at Etsy--gotta love EtsyInspired! Be blessed:}
Hello, friends!!
I apologize for having a short post--I've got a burnt middle finger (due to HOT GLUE!). It is hard to craft and type:{
I am super excited about this week's color story over at The Play Date Cafe! I loooooooooove these colors! So fresh and beautiful! And this week our sponsor is Artistic Stamper. What a wonderful company--here is what they have to say..."The Stamp Connection has been in business since 1995 and we manufacture The Artistic Stamper range of stamps and 'Kling-On' repositionable cushioning too. All of our stamps are unmounted natural red rubber. We like to produce stamps that will work well with others, and co-ordinate with lots of our own. I love playing with designs that transfer into 3D pieces , so often my inspiration for stamp designs comes from my own love of 3D!"
Artistic Stamper has offered up a prize of 15£UK pounds ($25) stamps of the winner's choice, and will ship anywhere in the world plus 'Kling-On' cushioning , of course! Thanks so much, Artistic Stamper !
This week's colors are beautiful! They have been picked by our leader, Julie. Just love anything with green...and then this stucco orange! OH! What a combo! I used my Artistic Stamper stamp set insects and butterflies No. 1. What cute images!! I had so many ideas for this color story--but with this injury...could only finish this card [inspired by Jennifer Roach]. I made a simple card for any occasion. LOVE that butterfly on transparency! Love that American Crafts orange ribbon! Almost peach--love it! That's it for me today--please head over to The Play Date Cafe for more details on this challenge. And please stop by all the other PDCC DT members' blogs! You are going to be blown away! WOW! Great job, ladies!
Thanks so much for stopping by! You are the best followers EVER! Love sharing my stories and cards and the PDCC challenges with you!! Be blessed:}

Today I'm sharing three cards that I made--I couldn't help myself! Cathy Walters has super cute pendants!! This first creation is actually a tag. It was created using my Artistic Outpost stamps. I stamped the background with the text/eggs and then distressed it. I wanted it to look as close to the inspiration photo as possible. Then I stamped the nest and cut it smaller--then using my brown burlap string {available at Limelight}, I made the nest 3D! LOVE it! Then I made the eggs blue--it makes them pop more. The sentiment is from Ippity's What Matters Most set. LOVE LOVE LOVE this tag!!
This next card was inspired by the owl pendant and created using woodgrain paper from DCWV. The owl and sentiment is from Unity's What A Hoot set. LOVE it! I wanted that owl to look like the photo--but with more color and dimension!
My last card was created based on the butterfly pendant. I really liked how it looked with words and a butterfly--so I created a muted red and brown card. I love how the metal frame holds the sentiment {Ippity's Regal Greetings} and butterfly {Unity's Naturally You}. I wanted the butterfly to be with more shine--so I added glossy accents. LOVE LOVE LOVE it!
That's it for me--but there are prizes waiting for you! I will be giving one lucky person the Unity set How Far Can One Go. ACK--LOVE LOVE LOVE Unity!! And don't worry--there are prizes on each of our DTs' blogs!! So stop by there to win a prize:

Hello, friends:}
What an exciting day!! We have a brand new color challenge over at the Play Date Cafe-with some great news from last week!!! We had over 100 players!! WOW! Thanks so much for all your wonderful creations! I wish that all of you could win!!
Our wonderful sponsor this week is Artistic Outpost!! They heard about the PDCC from their DT coordinator, Lisa Somerville!! She always brings fun ideas on a daily basis!! AO is amazed at what participants create and the color combinations are both creatively challenging as well as "attainable". Artistic Outpost is excited to give this week's challenge randomly selected winner a $14 gift certificate to their store to be used to purchase any of their unmounted stamp plates! WOW--what a prize:}
This week our color story is dark purple, lilac, and green. What beautiful colors! I used my Artistic Outpost stamp set Birds of a Feather. Of course I would pick birds as my stamp for this week's color story!! I had several papers that I stamped on--that green section is my FAV! Love those little eggs. I also like the nest--with the feather--LOVE LOVE LOVE it:} I colored that twill too--it was my first time! I used my Tattered Angels purple spray. It was messy, but it turned out pretty! It shimmers--which you can't see in the pic.
That's all for me today--but be sure to stop by all the other PDCC DT members' blogs....and the Artistic Outpost DT members are also playing along!! Be sure to stop by their blogs as well!!
