Well, hello again! Yes, I used "that" set again (It's Fall About You), and I still really love it! I got crazy with the fall papers, as a result of using this sketch. I am playing along with Mojo Monday and The Paper Players!

        

Bye for now...

IT'S A GIRL / FTL #198 & PP #103...

Good morning! A friend of mine is having a baby, and I just got the invite to her shower happening next month... so you know me - I made her a card straight away! LOL! Actually I usually wait until the last minute, so I am especially proud of myself right now!

I loved these fun colors and was inspired to use this cute elephant from Priceless Joy, by The Alley Way Stamps. It's so sweet for a baby card! I stamped his little ear on striped paper, and glued it just at the top so that it would flap out a little.

I used the sketch (with some minor changes) from Clean & Simple Stamping. And the colors are from this week's Paper Players.

Hope you have an awesome day!

NEW IN TOWN? / PP #93 & LIM #65...

Good morning! I can't believe it's Wednesday already! I had the pleasure of inking up a Lawn Fawn set I got int he mail last week, Gnome Sweet Gnome! I love this set & I really love this flamingo! How fun!

I set the type for the sentiment, the font is Firefly, I think. I thought it would be fun to have an "old" and a "new" flamingo, I distressed the one on the right just a bit!

I played along with this week's Paper Players challenge, using ribbon, a square card and designer paper. I also played with the sketch from Less is More! Hope I don't get dinged for too many embellishments, but you know I just can't help myself - I HAVE to use buttons - LOL!

Bye for now & thank for stopping by!
 

HIPPY FLOWER HELLO / SCIC #8 & PPC #3...

Okay, obviously I had a problem finding a name for this card - lol! I always try to name them something I'll remember in case I want to find them again at some point...

I played along with 2 new~ish challenges, Stampin' Celebration! and Paper Player's Challenge. YAY - 2 challenges that I REALLY wanted to play with!

This was a really fast card, Stampin' Up! paper, so groovy, and dies from Papertrey Ink. A little bling, faux stitching, embossing & I was done!

Happy Friday!
