Rustic Rocker!

I was looking around in my files and found this card that I never posted.  I used the set Tweens and Teens by Lizzie Anne Designs and paired it up with some fun new papers from My Minds Eye called Good Day Sunshine (Boy Collection Kit).  I just love MME papers!

Have a ROCKIN' Tuesday!

Sunny Sunday Flowers...

Hey Peeps ~ I feel like it has been forever since I've talked to you!  We were gone on Spring Break last week and loaded up the RV for some family fun in the Great Smoky Mountains.  We hit a total of 7 states in the 8 days we were gone with some amazing weather!  I'll have some great pictures to share in the next few days.

Until I get my photos uploaded and edited, I wanted to share this cool card with you that I made using the Sunflower Seeds set by Our Craft Lounge.   I also added some Coffee Bean Brown Sparkly Fluff to the center of the sunflowers ~ perfect touch!

Well I hope you all have a great week getting back into the swing of things!

I don't know about you, but I'm really hungry for a cupcake right now!!!

This super sweet cupcake is a digital image from Whimsy & Stars Studios by Mabelle R•O.  For the Happy Birthday sentiment, I used a Sizzix embossing folder and it's just perfect for this image!

Let's Talk...

I love this telephone set from Hero Arts called Just Saying Hi!  The Echo Park paper & scallop border are from the kit called For the Record ~ did you see the pattern?  It's a phone book page!!!  I also used a new die from Nestabilities for the mat called Labels 18 ~ don't you LOVE IT?  I just used black Palette Ink (Noir) for the stamping ~ it's a super simple card!

So Very Sorry...

Good Monday Morning!

As you may have noticed, I've decided to take some weekends off from blogging ~ except when I have a design team commitment or a special event.  My traffic is pretty light on the weekends & lately it seems like I'm doing 6 or more posts during the week.

Anyway... on with my project for today ~ I used a new single from Lizzie Anne Designs called So Very Sorry.  I paired it up with some fabulous new pattern paper & journaling blocks from Crate Paper called Portrait Collection.

Hope you have a great Monday!

New Goodies from IHP

OH MY ~ I love it when CHA goodies start hitting the store shelves because there are so many fun things to play with!!!!  I've got lots of fun products to show you today all on one simple little Clean & Simple card.    BTW ~ I CASE'd this card from the Stamp It! Techniques 2011 issue by Emily Niehaus (p 41).    I just love her card and decided to use the design & color combo. 

The stamp set I used is by Technique Tuesday called Long-Stemmed Sentiments and colored the blooms with a R27 Copic marker then added Glossy Accents on top. The sentiment is from the same stamp set ~ they are words you piece together so you can make it fit any shape you want.  For the paper pieced vase, I used papers from the My Minds Eye Hazel collection.

You can't really see it very well, but I used some Glossy Accents on the magnifying glass & it looks so cool. Unfortunately, I couldn't get it to photograph very well.

Mixing it up with the Mix Club Set

What's up today peeps?  I sat down yesterday afternoon and banged out 4 Lizzie Anne cards pretty quickly ~ woohooo!  I love it when I have a productive day.  You'll see more later this week but here is one of the cards I made using the new Mix Club set for Spring called Follow your Dreams. 

I used a few of the pattern papers from the Echo Park kit called For the Record ~ when did I start loving vintage?  Hmmm....I'm not really sure.  I still don't think my style is anywhere close to vintage, but I do really like the new papers out right now and it's fun to mix and match them up.

Sweet Fuzzy Bunny...

Hey Peeps ~ Hope your weekend was FABULOUS!  Mine was crazy ~ which is why I took the weekend off from blogging.

My project today is a store sample card I made featuring the OCL set called Hoppin' into Spring.  Isn't that little bunny butt the cutest thing?  I mixed together some Brown Sugar and Sugar Sparkly Fluff for the tail.

Hope you have a great Monday!
