FWF-Just a note...

Hello!  Are you all recovering from a glutenous day of overeating?  I know I am!  A perfect day to spend stamping and crafting the day away, for sure!
I kept this card CAS.  I used stamps from both the October and November KOTMs.  I don't think you can ever go wrong with red, black and white.  I just love this classic combo.

Have a fabulous day!

Snowday...

Hello!  Sorry for the late post.  Blogger wouldn't let me post any photos!!!  Today I made a card with a stamp from Unity's November KOTM.  The paper is from Crate Paper's Snow Day collection.  The silver heart charm is from my stash and the red baker's twine is Jillibean Soup.  You can buy all of these fab products at Paper Maniac!

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends!

Hugs To You!!!!!

Hello!  Here is a card that I made in a CKC class back in September.  The only thing I changed was adding the "Hugs to You" stamp from The Stamps Of Life.  I believe the paper is from Basic Grey's Kioshi collection.

I hope you are having a fabulous weekend!  Hugs to YOU!

EIC115-Inspired by edible art tarts!

Hello! Time for another EIC!  This week our shop for your inspiration is Queen of Tarts Cakes.  OMG! They have AMAZING looking cookies in this shop!  I can't even believe they are cookies they are that gorgeous!  I was inspired by the vintage square bird cookies below.

Our sponsor this week is Inchie Arts, so the minute I saw the squares I knew I wanted to make my "twinchie" the focal point of the card.  I was going to stamp and color a bird, but then I decided to do a Zentangle doodle. 
These squares are made of matte board, which makes them ideal for using different types of coloring mediums.  I just used a fine tip sharpie to create my zentangle, but you can watercolor, use Copics, stamp...the possibilities are endless.  If you have more questions about inchie arts you can go HERE.

If you would like to participate in the challenge, make sure you link your project on the EIC blog HERE. One random winner will be chosen next Friday to win a set of transferable images from Queen of Tart Cakes and some instructions on how to use them!  Fun stuff!

Hope you play along!

FWF-Hello Girlfriends!

I just LOVE this trio of purses from the October KOTM.  I decided to paper piece them with paper from Basic Grey Indian Summer.  This card is PERFECT for my friend who loves anything and everything purple and pink!  I kept the layout simple so that the focus was on those chic purses!

Thanks for stopping by!

Great Friend...

Hello!  Today I made a card with one of the new sets from The Stamps Of Life.  This set is called friends4ever, and I love the sentiments and the big leaf stem!  I used some DP from Pink Paislee and ran my brown CS through my textile CB folder.

Thanks for stopping by!

echo park...LOVE it!

This week, Paper Maniac is featuring projects using one of my favorite paper lines....echo park.  I made the card above with the Merry Christmas paper pack.  I love how adorable and affordable they are.  You get TONS of paper, journal boxes, borders, cardstock stickers, and adhesive alphas that are both big and large.  You can use the alphas on cards and scrapbook pages which is a big plus for me!
The newest addition of echo park, is the Wintertime collection.  I love the colors and the fact that you can use it for cards and scrapbook pages that are not Christmas themed.  Cute as can be!

This week Paper Maniac is also sponsoring the Wee Memories Challenge.  Head on over and check it out! You could win a gift certificate to the PM store for $20.00!

Hope you can play along!
