Paper Smooches: January 2019 ANYTHING GOES challenge #1

Hello, friends:}

Happy New Year!!! With a new year I like to create new goals. One crafty goal I would like to accomplish this year is to create at least two cards for the Paper Smooches challenges. I used to be able to play along weekly, but my schedule changed when I accepted a job at our church. I miss crafting, and this goal will help me make time to join in the fun! **MORE goal details coming later today on my Instagram page! 

Today I'm sharing my first creation for the Paper Smooches January 2019 ANYTHING GOES challenge. I am always in need of extra cards to send to friends and family, to cheer them up or to let them know I'm thinking of the. Side note: Trav really likes this card- we debated at first whether or not to use two sentiments or any at all! LOL! I love when he helps me create. ❤️ I used the following PS stamps/dies: Kindness Sampler, Fun & Flirty, Desert Icons dies, Big Vases dies, Crystal Clear 3 dies. 

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

I was inspired by a t-shirt at Walmart 🙃  I wanted to make a fun card to send to Kim and this unicorn is PERFECT!  

The "ribbon" that I used is a small silver DMC thread. I used the following PS stamps/dies: A Holy Holiday, Magical Sampler, Unicorn.

Paper Smooches: December RIBBON challenge post #2

Hello, friends:}

Today I'm sharing another creation for the Paper Smooches December RIBBON challenge. Photo credit

This card is super special, for a friend's 30th birthday 🎉 I used some of my favorite Crate Papers from the Craft Market 6x6 paper pad. ***Side NOTE: This special friend helped me organize my paper pads when I first moved back into my studio after our move/remodel. I told her to organize the pads according to the company name. Thinking I had explained what I wanted well, I went to work on something else. A few minutes later I went to check on her. She had a pile of paper pads SUPER high! I asked what the company name was for those pads... her response, "Paper Pad". 🤣 I laughed so hard, but she just stared at me because she didn't know the joke. Now when she asks about my creations she says, "Is that Paper Pad paper?" 

The "ribbon" that I used can be found at the bottom of the card. I die cut a ribbon and bow using the Paper Smooches Baby Bows dies. I love how it looks! There are so many layers and details in this card... I wish I would have taken a better photo for you! It's really pretty in person. 

I used the following PS stamps/dies: Happy Birthday, Numbers, Digits, Baby Bow, Love and Cherish, Gift Tags. 

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

Paper Smooches: December RIBBON challenge post #1

Hello, friends:}

Helllllllllllllllllllllllllllllo! I feel like I need to say that again because it's been FOREVER since I was able to craft, post, type, etc. My hand is doing better; it's slowly healing! Praise the Lord!!! 

Today I'm sharing my first creation for the Paper Smooches December RIBBON challenge. Photo credit

I love this challenge because I rarely use ribbon on my projects. It forced me to get out my bin of ribbons and twines. My ribbon is the black chevron from May Arts. I love cutting it in half to stretch my supplies. 

That llama is my fav! I modified the die cut sentiment to spell "LLove" 🙃 I really wanted to make a holiday card, but I just wasn't feeling it. I went with a love theme instead. I hope this inspires you to create ANY themed project for THIS challenge!  Remember the only rules are 1) use ribbon/twine/thread and 2) use PS stamps and dies! It didn't say we had to make a holiday card:) 

I used the following PS stamps/dies: Courteous Cuties, Courteous Cuties Icons, Hearts, and I Love You. 

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

THANKS so much for stopping by! THANKS to all who have been praying for healing for my arm/wrist. And THANKS for sticking with me even though I've had a canyon sized gap between posts. ❤️ Your love and support mean so much to me! 

Be blessed:}

Paper Smooches: June RECAP

Hello friends:) 

Today I'm sharing the Paper Smooches June projects that I made! I have to admit- when I create a card, PS stamps/dies are the FIRST things I grab! I love love love Paper Smooches ❤️

Here's what I created using PS stamps and dies last month.

This card was created to celebrate the 13th anniversary of meeting Trav. He has my heart! 

This card (and the one right below it) use the leftover scallops from my waves that I created in THIS card from May! I love using my scraps:)
