Bliss and Some Exciting News!!!!!

Hi!

I was recently emailed by Joanna Munster the owner of Inspired By Stamping  if I would like to join her Design Team. I happily accepted and I am proud to be a new member of the Inspired By Stamping team.  You can read Joanna's introduction post here.

Here is a card I created using Inspired By Stamping Sweet Aviary. 

I started this card by piecing together my patterned papers and adhering to my kraft card base. I then added some beautiful pink trim across the upper portion of my card front. I then added two hand-cut banners to the upper right corner of the card front varying the lengths. A hand-dyed doily in Antique Linen was cut in half and added to the lower portion of my card face.

A heart was cut in kraft cardstock using the Cricut. This sweet little Aviary image was stamped, in Vintage Sepia in the center of the heart which has been distressed with tea stain ink and Antique Cream paint added. A small pink button was added to the cage as a decorative touch. A fussy seam binding bow tops the heart embellished with a button, some twine and a darling sentiment tag which was computer generated. The precious bird is also from Sweet Aviary.

I drew inspiration from CR84FN color inspiration.

I am also excited to share that this card was chosen as a Top Three Award winner at The Kraft Journal.

Thank you so much as this is the second award for this card! I am truly overjoyed! 

Thanks for stopping by and sharing my news, have a terrific weekend!

Hi!

**For my Wilson Designs Release post, click here**

Now you are going to have that song by Brittany Spears stuck in your head right??? Cause I DO!!!

I have a sweet little baby card to share with you today!

I just had to try a stack of pastel elephants! I have been wanting to do this ever since I got this darling little elephant from DeNami Designs, but hadn't had a chance till now. 

I added some seam binding to create a fussy bow and added a button and twine to the center! Vintage book print created my large scalloped border. I stamped my sentiment and created a banner.

The sentiment is also from DeNami Designs.  I think this came together nicely for one sweet baby card. I had so much fun creating this! I created the card based on the sketch at DeNami Designs.

 

Joining in the current Go Fish Challenge which is to use typeset.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Winter White

Happy Monday Morning to you!

For my DeNami Designs Blog Hop post click here.

I have a winter  white on white card to share with you today.  I have always wanted to do this, and the current Go Fish Challenge pushed inspired me to FINALLY do this.

Here is what I came up with! Ok, very hard for me to photograph! I was too lazy busy to take the time to reshoot it with a colored background.

My blog friend Colleen Dietrich always adds beautiful pearls to her cards and I just hoard them. She inspired me to actually use my stash!  I added some glitter touches to the snowflakes!

I promise you it is much better looking and detailed in person! :-) 

I am also playing along with DYSU: Let it Snow, and Top Tip Tuesday: Anything Goes

Here's hoping your week is off to a crafty start!
