Guest Designer for Playing In Paradise Challenge 68

Hi!

I was fortunate enough to win a Playing in Paradise challenge, and was asked to be a guest designer. This week comes with a color challenge.

Here is my card:

I started with an aqua card base and applied my pieced papers. A green zig zag border was added to the center.  A length of brown satin ribbon was added to the left side of the card front pleating the top finishing off with some twine, button and a yellow rose for a decorative touch. 

An oval nestie was cut and some fun decorative tape was added down the center. The typewriter image is from Wilson Designs Ride Away with Me which was stamped in Vintage Sepia on Kraft Cardstock. A beautiful yellow bloom was added.

The Thinking of You sentiment is also from Wilson Designs Ride Away With Me. 

Here is your color inspiration for the week. I hope you will join in and play along. 

Definitely not my go to colors, but that is why I like a challenge. 

I hope you have a fantastic day!

Wow, can you believe it's the last day of January already? It seems like yesterday we were bringing in the New Year!

Here is a sweet little Valentine for you!

This card was made on a soft pink card base adding layers of patterned paper from my stash and an upper panel stamped using Wilson Designs Simply Silhouettes frame in Angel Pink ink.

The darling little Sailor Boy is a die cute from K & Company. I added a sentiment from Wilson Designs Ride Away With Me and adhered them on a Labels 10 die from Spellbinders. In addition, I added lace trimming, a fussy bow and some colorful buttons.

I am joining in the CR84FN challenge.

As well as Simon Says Stamp: Anything Goes
Have a GREAT day!

Hey there!

How is your week starting off so far?  So far so good on this end! Wishing I was at CHA, but went ice skating with my little guy so that makes up for it! *smile*

I have another Valentine to share!

Lots of layers and pretties here! I was in one of those moods of how about this oh maybe this....

I started with a Kraft card base and the patterned papers are all from my stash....I just kept digging till I liked what I found. The stamps I used are from The Craft's Meow: Telegram and Wilson Designs: Ride Away With Me (tag). I used the Spellbinders Classic Scalloped Heart and inked up the edges with Vintage Tea Stain ink.  

I created this card for: The Shabby Tea Room

and The Kraft Journal: So Romantic and Pixie's Crafty Snippet Challenge.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you have a great week!

CR84FN45 Wilson Designs - Hi!

Hi!

Looking back over the cards I have created already this year they are mostly bold and bright...not what I normally create let alone so many...well, I am back with a CAS bright card inspired by the colors over at CR84FN!

I started with a tangerine card base and added some patterned paper by DCWV. For my focal image I used Wilson Designs bicycle for two from the Ride Away With Me collection.  The sentiment and silhouette butterfly belong to the Wilson Designs Spring Silhouettes collection.  

I colored in my bicycle built for two with a yellow glitter pen.  However, I was unable to capture the sparkle in my photograph. 

Here is the CR84FN inspiration photograph. 

I rarely mention shout outs I received, but I figured I would share a toot, this card was selected for Coloruq Color Queen Courtier.  You can see the original post here.

Thanks for your visit!
Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Off The Wall Craftiness 57 Shore Miss You!

Hello there! I am so happy you stopped by today! I know my post are very few right now because of all the home improvement projects, but it does make me REALLY happy when my friends stop by.  

Let's get to the card I have to share with you for the new Off The Wall Craftiness "theme" challenge, but first take a look at this wonderful inspiration photo! NO colors this week, but a beach theme, so let those creative juices flow! 

My card features various images from several of the fabulous Wilson Designs stamp line. I had a little fun and created a little beach scene. (Wishing I was there in this 100 degree plus weather we have been experiencing L). The paper pieced beach hut, surfboard and sentiment Shore Miss You is from Wilson Designs Teeny Bikini.  The sentiment banner is from the brand new release Sweet Celebrations. I took the background hearts from Ride Away With Me to create a pattern in my clouds which is also from Ride Away With Me. 

Until next time, you'll want to be sure to head over to Off The Wall Craftiness for more information on OTWC57 challenge and don't forget to check out the other design team creations! 

I guess I better get back to the house projects, but before I go, I am going to send this over to Jules Snippet Challenge since this card was created entirely from my scrap bag.

Hope you come play along with us at Off The Wall Craftiness!

Wilson Designs: June Release Day 1

Hi There!

Today is Day 1 of the Wilson Designs newest release.  Kim has two sets releasing this month, but you will only see one set in my post since the US Postal Service didn't seem fit to actually deliver the second set. (Enter big sigh and sad face here).  As you read this, I will be on the road in the middle of a move without internet access, so let's hope at least blogger is working, and many of you know the frustrations of that challenge!

Both my cards today are mix up cards. This set was inspired by Jax.

First is a card using Let's Rock, with the new set.

In the card you see above, I used 6 of the new stamps in the set! A lot of background stamping to create my own pattern papers!

Next up for this set...a little onesie sweetness! 

A close up!

This set uses 4 stamps from the new set. As you can tell, you can personalize the onesie.  I also used the clouds and hearts background from Ride Away with Me.


That's all I have today.  Make sure to leave a comment on all the design teams blog for your chance to win.  We never know where the winner will be picked from.  Don't forget to come back tomorrow night for more and of course the release!

You're Awesome!

Happy almost Mother's Day dear friends!

I created this card for a dear friend with the Pals Paper Arts colors in mind. This friend is long overdue for a note, but life has been busy for both of us, and yet she has not missed remembering my family each holiday with a handmade creation of her own. You would think since this is what I do just about daily I could get my act together and do the same for her, so this is for my dear sweet friend! We have been friends for over 16 years! She always remembers my son with an envelope full of goodies no matter how small the holiday and just this week she made me a Mother's Day card!

I created a 4 x 7 card which fits perfectly in a business size envelope. The images that you see are all from Wilson Designs Stamps. Those fun paper pieced clouds are from Ride Away With Me and the super fun main images are from the newly released Scoot Away With Me. I decided to make some flower smoke! J 

Beautiful sunsets in Florida can produces similar colors in the clouds! Really beautiful! The designer paper comes from The Mango Frost Stack by DCWV.

Thank you for Scooting by!

Happy Anniversary CAS

Happy Saturday!

Hope you are enjoying your weekend! Ours is event packed for sure, but I found time to sneak in some crafty time, but it had to be a clean and simple card! I took my little one to an Easter Egg hunt this morning, and I am so proud of him...he found the Golden Egg! Yay! He turned it in for a Clifford the Big Red Dog stuffed animal! Now we are off to see the Easter Bunny!

My Aunt and Uncle are celebrating their anniversary today, so I made this card for them.  Last year was their golden anniversary! So this makes 51! Wow!

I used a little photo and sketch inspiration along with some awesome Wilson Design Stamps! 

I always love Judith's inspirations over at JayGee's Nook.

A great CAS sketch from Clean & Simple Sunday

to make a fun little card for a great couple who have been happy for many years!

I used Wilson Designs' Ride Away with Me for the focal image, and the sentiment is from Spring Silhouettes . The flower embellishments are from Michael's.

When I was little, I always wanted my tires to be the same color as my bike, so that is why I colored them in the same as the bike! Fun I think! 

That's it for me as I have to scoot and get my little man to see the Easter Bunny! I hope everyone is enjoying each other during this wonderful time of year!

Wilson Designs: April Release Day 1!

Hey Hey Hey!!! It's Wilson Designs release time!  The Wilson Designs Design Team is teasing showcasing projects using the new stamp release for April.

Here is my first card, as you can see this is a nautical set. I have chosen the Ship's Wheel using one of my favorite techniques: repetition to create my own background paper. I use this a lot in my projects.

I wrapped some hemp cord around my kraft panel threading my punched anchor paper charm.  A scalloped border trim and sentiment completes this Nauti-Cool card.

My Second card I use a little more girly bright colors displaying this fun set. Again, I am using repetition stamping to create a focal point and displaying one of the new sentiments in the set. Being that I am a Floridian and have lived in Hawaii for 9 years I run on solar power and therefore I am a Sun Kissed girl!  J I have friends who would appreciate this card also! 

I just love the scripted font in this set.

The last card I have for you today is a mix up card.

The Pennants are too cute for words and I couldn't help but pin it up with some "bling". Shore Thing is a sentiment that comes in this release and I adore you  is from Ride Away With Me.  Kim's sets always work so well with each other.  Speaking of adore, how about that life preserver?  

If you want a chance to win this adorable new Nauti-Cool set from Wilson Designs  be sure to leave a comment on my blog as well as the other design team blogs.  We never know where the winner will be drawn from. As always, I love hearing your thoughts and I appreciate you visiting so much! Check out my very talented teammates!  I will see you back tomorrow with some more inspiration and the reveal.

Playing in Paradise Challenge 8 Thinking of You!

Hello there!

As I stared at the inspiration photo for the Playing in Paradise Challenge I kept going back to the Tree from the Wilson Designs Ride Away With Me set, and I just sort of built the card from there. Since the focal point is muted I kept the tone in my card as such. I took some inspiration from the roses on the bedding and added some pink and white floral rosettes to my lace trim. I love that it gives just a little pop of color as such in the photograph.

As many of my regular readers and friends know, I am living without all my crafty items for awhile, and on this card I was really missing my embossing folders. I had many ideas, but less is more sometimes! :-) 

My sentiment is from Wilson Designs Ride Away with Me.

Isn't this a unique bed?  It's a unique room really...take a good look above the pillows! It's definitely a good mix of masculine and feminine. Interesting to say the least and I had fun using it as inspiration! 

I am also playing along with Simply Create: Do It Yourself. 

I hope you all are having a wonderful weekend!

Wilson Designs Ride Away With Me

Welcome back to Day 2 of Wilson Designs release day of Ride Away with Me.

How adorable is this bicycle built for two?
I just love the hearts for spokes!

I repeatedly stamped the bicycle in Real Red on Real Red cardstock for tone on tone imaging to create my own background paper to match my focal image which was stamped in Handsome Hunter all by Stampin' UP! My Merry Christmas greeting is from Wilson Designs Snowy Wishes. I added Christmas Red Stickles to the center of the bicycle spokes for a little glitz. I punched some snowflakes and added some buttons from my stash to the center for a wintery embellishment touch. 

Up next is a sweet little card!

Anyone who really knows me, knows I love PINK!, so I couldn't help, but stamp this cute little bicycle built for two in PINK, and I just let the creativity go from there! I used designer paper from g.c.d. Studios which worked perfectly since I thought the hearts on the paper were a perfect match with the spokes on the wheels of the bicycle. (LOVE) This set has a background builder of a cluster of hearts which I used inside my heart followed by stamping this A-dorable sentiment Ride away with me in Chocolate Chip ink.  I lightly distressed the edges of my bicycle image and the heart sentiment image with vintage tea stain dye.

This set has a Valentine feel to it without screaming in your face HAPPY VALENTINES DAY! However, it's perfect for Valentine's Day too! It is so versatile you are just going to love it! 

Check out to see what the rest of the design team is up to for your chance to win by leaving a comment on each of their blogs. While you are here, leave me a comment telling me what your looking forward to most during the holidays and what you think of our new release?
