10 Minute Craft Dash #25

I am always amazed at the cards I see created for the 10 minute craft dash challenge. You definitely have to have an idea in mind beforehand. Thankfully you can pick out supplies in advance. I always love to try to play along and this time I was able to create my very simple card within the 10 minutes for Craft Dash #25. I love the blue, yellow and brown color combo for this week's challenge. Thanks for stopping by.

With a Touch of Gold


I was inspired to make a third card for this week's Paper Smooches Trend Watch Challenge: flowers. I have posted the inspiration photo below. This time I tried to add a touch of gold using perfect pearls in heirloom gold. The stamps used were: Pretty Mommas, Salutations, and Potpourri.

Krafty Smooches

The card below was inspired by two fabulous Challenges:


This week's Paper Smooches Trend Watch Challenge encourages the use of flowers. I have posted the inspiration photo below. I used the flower stamp from the Pretty Momma's stamp set. 

This week's CAS-ual Friday challenge is She's Krafty and She's Just my Type (CFC113). Of course I used kraft as my card base and had fun stamping the flower image on some text paper. The sentiment is also more of a typewriter font. Thanks so much for taking a look!













Hello There Nautical

I absolutely love Laurie Wilson's inspiration card over at the Muse Challenge blog for Muse #33. I was inspired by her card in both design and theme. I changed up the color scheme and used an embossing folder for the anchors rather than a stamped image. Thanks for stopping by!



Please see Laurie's fabulous card below!

Paper Smooches Trend Watch Challenge: Flowers

The following card was inspired by this week's Paper Smooches Trend Watch Challenge. I used the flower stamp from the Pretty Momma's stamp set and the sentiment comes from the Salutations stamp set. Thanks for stopping by!









CFC113: She's Krafty and She's Just My Type

I had fun playing with this week's CAS-ual Friday Challenge 113: She's Krafty and She's Just My Type. I recently found a blue Brother Charger 11 vintage typewriter at a specialty shop, so I had to stamp and emboss the typewriter on a light blue cardstock.

I am also entering this card in the Simon Says Stamp: Anything Goes Challenge. Thanks for looking!





MFT Wednesday Stamp Challenge (MFTWSC139)

The following card was inspired by this week's Wednesday Stamp Club Sketch Challenge (MFTWSC139). I enjoyed using the baby onesie die from MFT and 7 Gypsies papers. Thanks for stopping by!




Fall Themed Project for SP&Company's Theme Week

There is something new brewing at SP&Company. Samantha and her team are hosting a weekly theme week challenge. This week's theme is Fall and Halloween Week. I was excited to be able to join in this week's challenge. I decided to use up some fall colored scraps in my overflowing scrap drawer for this Thanksgiving card. Love this sentiment from SP&Company.

Thanks for stopping by and looking!


Another Baby Thank You

I had to try to get one more card in based on this week's Freshly Made Sketches #101. (Have I mentioned I love this sketch). I used the baby onsie stamp from WPlus9 and scrap paper from WeRMemoryKeepers.

Freshly Made Sketches #101: Holiday Style

Another Holiday themed card for this week's Freshly Made Sketches #101. I LOVE this sketch. So many possibilities.

The stamp is from Hero Arts and the Recollections Frosty Cabin papers are from my scrap drawer.




Holiday Card Using Hero Arts and Scraps

Happy Labor Day! I'm having fun getting my fingers dirty in my craft room.

I love this week's sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches. Over the holiday weekend I purchased a new stamp set from Hero Arts and couldn't wait to ink it up. The Recollections papers came from my overflowing scrap drawer. The little ornament was made using a 1/2 inch circle punch and a bow stamp from MFT. Thanks so much for stopping by.

Happy Halloween Paper Smooches Style

I recently purchased the Halloweenie stamp set from Paper Smooches. I just love the images in this set. I was inspired by this week's Paper Smooches Sparks Picture Perfect Challenge to make the following card. I was too lazy to use my silhouette to cut out the instaframes, so I used a square paper punch and cut cut around it to make the frame.
