My Favorite Things-A Wagon Full of Love

Greetings!

I've been creating a ton of cards lately.  This one uses stamps from My Favorite Things.  MFT just released some new stamps and die cuts yesterday, so head on over to their web site for some SUPER CUTE ideas and images.                                     

This set is called A Wagon Full of Love.  This little set has a great selection of images.  I chose to add some of my own tiny flowers to the wagon vs. the stuffed animals included with the set.  There are quite a few possibilities with the wagon (hearts, flowers (paper or stamped ) and little animals.
Hope you enjoy!

Embellish Magazine Color Challenge

Hello! 
Today's post features a color and design challenge from Embellish Magazine.  The challenge was to create a invitation using the colors green, red and craft/gold. 

The invite I created is to a wedding.  I love the sentiment from Unity's May KOM.  I decided  to incorporate it along with some letter stickers from Cosmo Cricket.  It reads "join us...for happily ever-after".

The stamped sentiment says " once in a while in the middle of an ordinary life love gives us a fairytale." 

Hope you enjoy! If you would like to play along, you have until July 17th.

Etsy Inspired Challenge

Greetings!
Today's post is all about inspiration.  Kimmieprout (on Etsy) designs polymer clay buttons.  The challenge on Etsy Inspired is to create something (card, layout, altered item) that brought you inspiration from the patterns and colors found on the designer's buttons.

I created this card by pulling the stamped images from the button in the Edithos collection.  I love the subtle pattern and simple design.  The stamps are from Unity Stamps (June KOM 2010).  Enjoy!

Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge

Greetings!                                                            
Today's post features a card I made for the Mojo Monday blog.

For this card, I used my new Unity June KOM.  The stamp features lots of butterflies inside a tree top.  In order to stick with my patterned paper colors, I chose to use Pumice Stone Distress Ink.  (Love this color!)
I also stamped the sentiment in the same color and used my Copic markers to color a few of the detailed butterflies (which was stamped twice) and the heart in the sentiment.

Patterned papers are from Basic Grey's Cappella line.
Enjoy!
Supplies Used: 
Cardstock:  Papertrey Ink 
Stamps:  Unity Stamp Co. (June KOM) Paper Salon (tab)

2 Sketches 4 You-Laura's Sketch 54

Greetings!
Check out the new sketch posted at 2 Sketches 4 You.

I hope to take the kids strawberry picking tomorrow. It is the season for picking yummy things to eat!  I thought this stamp from Unity was very fitting.

For my card creation, I turned the sketch slightly and added a square element along with a rectangular one.  I REALLY wanted to use the strawberry image and well IT IS SQUARE!

The stamp, sentiment and stamped pattern are from Unity's KOM (May).    I have going a bit gaga over October Afternoon's papers and the stripes are from their Road Trip Line.  I purchased this paper for the polka dots on the back, but ended up using the striped instead.  Enjoy!
