PDCC #116 post1

Hello, friends:} 

**After 8am--Please click HERE or scroll up for my Paper Smooches SPARKS  challenge post!

We are starting another color story today over on the  Play Date Cafe blog! This week's colors are beautiful and dark-- plum, yellow/green pear, and moldy cheese. Our sponsor this week is Sweet 'N Sassy Stamps.  

I used a piece of paper from three different companies: Studio Calico, Webster's Pages, and Cosmo Cricket! **Notice I used the colors of the paper to match their company name! ACK:)  LOVE! I love mixing papers! And these papers were the perfect match for this color story. I created a simple blocked design, and stamped a sentiment using a brad and a small die cut circle {using some of the pear colored paper} as an accent. I finished the card off with some brown alphas. LOOOOOVE this card--and to be honest, I didn't think I would! 

And today is actually the last time Michele and Andrea will be joining us as a PDCC DT. I just love this team--and I've enjoyed getting to know Michele and Andrea throughout the last year (or so!!!). One thing that I love about Michele is that she is so generous--one of the first things she did when she joined this team was send me a surprise package with some gorgeous grey ribbon (and you know how much I LOOOOOVE ribbons!!). She is also very organized! LOVE that--and wish I was as organized:)


I just love Andrea to bits--she always inspires me with her wonderful creations. The details! WOOOOOOOOOOW--my jaw is literally dropped every single time I visit her blog! I don't know how she does it--creating such complex and beautiful creations daily, working, keeping up with wife/mother duties....and visiting blogs {I enjoy her visits to my piece of blogland}! WOW! All around amazing woman!  


Good luck to you, Michele and Andrea!!! I will def. miss working with you on this team! THANKS for everything and many blessings to you in your new adventures:}

That's it for me....but be sure to stop by the PDCC blog for complete details and prize information! The PDCC sponsor this week is Sweet 'N Sassy Stamps.  Be sure to link up your creations by Tuesday, January 31st at 11:59pm EST.

Thanks for stopping by! Be blessed:}

EIC #112 {BeiLeXian}

Hello, friends:}


I am so happy that I was in my studio last night--even if it was for only 30 minutes! I have been super busy...and sick (a week or so ago with migraines...but that puts me behind big time!). So I was excited to get crafting again with this new EtsyInspired challenge! This week we are headed over to BeiLeXian's store! WOW--I was inspired by so many prints in their store!! You have got to check them out.

Our sponsor this week is Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps. This company has some cute stamps (clear and digital)! They have have a super cute blog--check them out HERE.

My first card was made awhile back for the Unity WCMD challenges. I saved it for this week because I just LOVE these little owls in this print! I love using my Unity owl stamps [What A Hoot!]. Love all that distressing--with ink and tearing the paper. LOVE it:}

This next card is one of my FAVS! I have been known to send Trav a card with a sweet potato on the front--the inside would say "I YAM...". I haven't sent him one in almost six months! SO this card is for HIM!! I was inspired by that little rock with the heart balloon. SO CUTE! I recreated this print with my sweet potato. LOVE it! I put that "I YAM thankful for you" on the back. Simple--but I LOVE it!

That's it for me today--but don't worry! The EIC DT members have some more eye candy for you! Be sure to stop by their blog and leave them some love!!
