Thankful for...{PSIC#30}

Hello There!

It's the first of the month, so that means I am kicking off a new project for Paper Sweeties Inspiration Challenge.  The inspiration is "Celebrate Mom" you can find the inspiration photo at the bottom of this post and on the Paper Sweeties Blog. 


I began this card with a card base of Brown Kraft cardstock. I added some beautiful floral patterned paper to the base.  I die-cut an oval from Buff Ivory cardstock which I distressed the edges with ink.  I tucked a small doily under the oval die-cut before it was adhered down. I then wrapped a length of Raspberry Seam Binding around the card and tied in a bow which I embellished with a cream resin flower.  

For the focal image, I used the Tea For Two Sweet Cuts which I built my own sentiment from You Are The Most Wonderful and Season of Love. Below the sentiment, I used a snippet of a velvet floral trim adding some Spring Peeps Sequins to the center of the flowers.

Sending Springtime Wishes {PSIC #29}


Hi Friends!

I am kicking off March with a Paper Sweeties Inspiration Challenge. 

I know I could use some spring! I had little to no luck with natural light trying to get a good photograph. Ready for some sunshine!!! It's another day of Snow and ice here! March is coming in like an Ice Lion! 

I started this card with a card base of white cardstock onto which I layered some aqua patterned paper found in my scrap box of leftovers. I added the striped paper to the center adding a punched border below it. I stamped and paper pieced the flower and pot adhering to the center of the layered circles. A sentiment greeting was stamped in black ink on a banner which was mounted with foam tape. Finally, a length of white crochet trim was added to the top of the card.

Happy Valentine's Day - PSIC#28

Hi There!

I am back after taking a few months off with the new inspiration challenge at Paper Sweeties! It's a pretty one!  I kept my card simply only because I knew this would be going in the mail. :-)
Link to products listed at bottom
I started with a pink card base which I adhered a piece of damask patterned paper after the edges have been distressed. Using a framed Sweet Cut die, which was cut from white card stock and inked around the edges with Antique Linen for a vintage feel, I added it to the left center of the card front. I hand-cut a sentiment banner from the same pink cardstock the base was created from and stamped Valentine's Day in red ink which was adhered and anchored with a red button laced with hemp twine.  Using a Paper Sweeties sentiment set, I masked off part of the sentiment to allow only Happy to show on the white frame just above the banner. Two hearts were die-cut from various patterned papers from my stash and adhered to the upper left portion of the frame.  A length of twine was wrapped around the top portion of the card and tied in a double bow.  Lastly, inspired by the candies in the photo, a few enamel dots were placed in the lower right corner for a final finishing touch.

Paper Sweeties November Inspiration Challenge #25

Hello Friends!

Can you believe we are rolling towards the end of the year?  I blinked and 2014 just flashed by. Wow! Since it's the start of a new month, it means it's time for a new inspiration challenge at Paper Sweeties.  This month the theme is Holiday Joy!
I started this card by adding a piece of argyle print patterned paper down the center of a piece of red graph patterned paper onto which I added to my white card base.
The wreath from the Paper Sweeties set Noel was stamped in Tide Pool ink to the center of a circle tag die-cut.  I stamped the bow onto textured red patterned paper and fussy cut and added to the bottom of the wreath.  A sentiment from Paper Sweeties Make The Season Bright stamp collection was added to the center in Pure Poppy ink. 

Finishing touches include a fussy bow, button, twine and pearl stick pins.


We hope you have a chance to get crafty and play along this month. If you don't have any Paper Sweeties stamps, just check out the free digital images that are available for download!!

Please be sure to stop by my teammates to see what they have to inspire your creative juices!

**Funny note, when I was working on this card, we lost power in our area, and I was determined to finish the card while my hot glue was still warm. Needless to say, it's not as easy to see what you are doing in the dark. For the love of Paper! **

Paper Sweeties Inspiration Challenge #24

Hello and welcome to another Paper Sweeties Inspirational Challenge!!! The new theme for you this month is "Happy Fall".  I hope you will hop along with the Paper Sweeties Design Team as we share our inspiration from this months theme.
I started with a Pumpkin Orange card base and matted it with an embossed Lunch Bag Kraft cardstock  layer. I used my cameo to cut several fall leaves to layer behind my focal image. Prior to adding them to the card, I spritzed with Mister Huey's Pinstripe Mister and rumbled the up a bit.  The stamped images are from Paper Sweeties Give Thanks set.  I used a piece of Harvest Gold Hemp Cord to die a double bow and added it to card front for an embellishing touch. 
Here is the inspiration photo!

Don't forget to check out what the rest of the DT made.
We hope you will play along with us this month. If you don't have any Paper Sweeties stamps at the moment. Why don't you try one of their free digital images available for download?  
The Paper Sweeties challenge will run for the entire month. You can play along as many times as you wish and combine with as many other challenges as you want — the more times you play, the more chances you have to win! The challenges will end at 12 pm EST on the last day of each month. The new challenge and winner will be revealed on the 1st of each month!
Have a GREAT day!

TKJ#187 - Ruffles - Back To School

Good Morning everyone!  This is my second post of the day, for my Paper Sweeties post, click here. :-)  I hope you also got a chance to see the other post from the weekend as well. Click here for the Halloween Facebook Treat post.


It's time for a new challenge at The Kraft Journal.  This week the challenge is ruffles.  Well, school is starting tomorrow in my area. I know many have been back to school for awhile. It really seems like the summer flew by. Our kiddos get out later here, and we had some time added on with all the snow days we encountered this year. It just doesn't seem possible that it's September.  

Well, that brings me to my card, I decided to create a Back to school card!
What is more appropriate for this theme then to ruffle some Vintage Dictionary Pages?  I started my card with a card base of Brown Kraft Cover Weight Cardstock where I added some school bus patterned paper.

Next I took a piece of red cardstock and cut down to a square and embossed with an ABC embossing folder. Using a school bus file found at the Silhouette Store, I used my Silhouette to cut it out and I placed inside a white die-cut circle and stamped the Back to School sentiment from Paper Sweeties just below.  Taking a piece of Vintage Dictionary Page, I ruffled it along the bottom.  Then I wrapped Red Baker's Twine around the card front several times finishing off with a length of Black Twill Tape tied off in a bow embellished with a red button laced with Red Baker's Twine.
Please be sure to head over to the The Kraft Journal to check out the projects by the other talented ladies.  We hope to see your "Ruffles" creations in the gallery this week for your chance to be featured on our "Feature me Friday" post as well as be entered to win a $15.00 gift voucher from The Kraft Outlet store.

I am also sharing over at My Craft Spot: Back To School, Simon Says Stamp - Anything Goes, Craftin' Desert Divas' - Anything Goes, Scrapbook Blessings Club - Anything Goes.

Have a great Monday!

PSIC September Challenge #23 - 'Pretty Pumpkins'

Happy September 1st!

{Honored that this was selected as the Winner at Scrapbook Blessings Club on 9/8/14)

It's been a busy weekend...especially here on my blog...be sure to check out the Trendy Twine Facebook Hop Post here, and the Trendy Twine Sneak here.

I guess this closes out the end of summer. I really am always sad to see it go and know cooler followed by colder weather will soon be on it's way.

A new inspiration challenge starts today at Paper Sweeties.   The theme is called pretty pumpkins using pinks and greens. I thought I would try something different this time, and make a pretty pink pumpkin for a packaging idea. I always like to work ahead on things, and since next month is Breast Cancer Awareness month and October is also known for pumpkins,  I thought it would be cute to package up a sweet gift to send to a survivor.  
I had a little mason jar candle which I packaged up and tied a bow and added a die-cut tag from  Sweet Cuts - Beautiful Little Wishes. I stamped a sentiment from Life is a Special Occasion which fit perfectly inside this darling size tag.  The sentiment is absolutely appropriate for a cancer survivor!
I will just set my little gift inside my pumpkin and it will be good to go! Below you will find your color palette and inspiration! You have one month to link up your projects in the gallery. You could be the next winner and guest designer.

Back to School with Trendy Twine~

{I am honored that this was picked as a Top 3 selection at Decorate to Celebrate on 8/20/14}

Hi everyone! I'm posting over at Twine It Up! With Trendy Twine today!  With the children gearing up to head Back to school, I have a little project to share that my son will be taking to one of his teachers on the first day of school featuring Cranberry Trendy Twine.
I started with a treat file I found in the Silhouette Store which I cut and assembled. I then wrapped the top of the treat box many times with Cranberry Trendy Twine and tied off in a bow embellishing with a button and a Back to School sentiment from Paper Sweeties. The apple cuts were created using the Cricut Lite Recess cartridge. 
To dress up the top of the soap bottle, I wrapped more Cranberry Trendy Twine around the neck of the soap adding a red button. Next, I made some pencil toppers to go in the treat box, and I also wrapped the tops of the pencils with twine for a finishing touch.
