PS SPARKS- another try

Hello, friends:}

Today I wanted to share my second try at my Paper Smooches SPARKS July Picture Perfect challenge!! This week we are inspired by the following picture:

Picture: Credit

I created the exact same card--- with different colors! I just didn't like the photos from before (the white cardbase didn't look good making the pinks a bit off!)! So I made a whole new card using the PS Crystal Clear stamp set and Hello Words die. I think CAS is growing on me:) This is a one layer card. LOVE! I actually LOVE both cards--- and think this photo turned out a bit better! LOL! 

Maybe this photo isn't any better! OY! I really need to learn how to work with storms, sunshine, lights, etc! LOL! 

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. 

And don't forget to stop by the Paper Smooches SPARKS blog for more details!!!! This challenge ends July 19th. I cannot wait to see what you make!!! 

THANKS so much for stopping by! Be blessed:}

Paper Smooches SPARKS July Picture Perfect challenge

Hello, friends:}

Today we start another weekly challenge over at Paper Smooches SPARKS blog!! This week is a Picture Perfect challenge.  

This week we are inspired by the following picture:

Picture: Credit

Well..... I really wanted to used the stripes and jars as my inspiration... and that super cute tag! But my card ended up CAS and then inspired by the jar (75%), the stripes (15%), and the pink jar (10%). 

I love this simple card! It's so fun! I used some My Mind's Eye enamel dots along with My Little Shoebox alphas. The straw (from the PS Crystal Clear set) was stamped with Tsukineko Radiant Neon Electric Coral ink. I finished the sentiment using a stamp from PS Bold Buzzword. LOOOOOOOVE-- it's simple and so fun!

Uh... I don't really like these photos...so I tried to get a better pic....

Maybe this photo isn't any better! OY! I really need to learn how to work with storms, sunshine, lights, etc! LOL! 

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.

Mama Elephant- No Peeking

Hello, friends:} 

Today the Mama Elephant design team is taking a closer look at the No Peeking stamp set. Be sure to stop by the ME blog for more details inspiration!!! 

I didn't create a card today! Instead I created a Christmas gift box:) I used some of My Little Shoebox papers with some Whisker Graphics red divine twine {available HERE from the RC}. The tag was created using several different stamps from the ME No Peeking set. I love that little fox peeking out from the edge of the pocket!!!! 

That's it for me today. Be sure to stop by all of the ME DTs' blogs and the ME blog for more inspiration and details. **New ME Stamps will be available on 11/15 at 9pm EST!!!

Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps #80 challenge

Hello, friends:}

I've created another fun card for the new Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps challenge #80--a photo inspiration! For more information on this challenge, click HERE! 

I love decorative umbrellas--only because 1) I have to cover my face/skin with one while out in the sun and 2) we just bought the coolest beach umbrella. So I guess you know what I was inspired by for my card:) I was kind of inspired by the teal blue color....I used my My Little Shoebox papers with my Rainy Day Ruby SCRS image. LOOOOOOOVE how this card turned out! I cannot take credit for the sketch/design--I used the Retro Sketch #13 as my inspiration {and YES! I followed the sketch!}.

I used a clear fine glitter for the raindrops--SO pretty in the light (but not in the pic! LOL!).

That's it for me today! Be sure to stop by the SCRS blog for more details and to see the rest of the team's amazing creations!
