Hippity Hop- Bitty Pixie Paisley!

Hello!  Happy Hippity Hop!  Here is a card I made using the Bitty Pixie Paisley.  I love the sentiment and I love the paisley with the brown and baja breeze!  I sponged some distress inks around the edges and tied a big satin bow on top.  Easy peasy!

Another TSOL friends card!

Scroll down for my Etsy post!

Hello!  I have another card using the friends4ever stamps set from The Stamps Of Life!  I LOVE this set.  I am a sucker for botanical themed stamps, so the leaves in this set just make me happy!  I also love that there are so many friend sentiments.  I made my own DP by stamping the small and large leaf on the olive paper.

This card is for the IC challenge over on SCS.  I was inspired by THIS place setting.  You can find the friends4ever set HERE and a photo below!

edit:  the image of the stamp set has been removed since there was not a watermark on it. I found out that people were copying it. Sorry!

Thanks for stopping by!

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!

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!
