Paper Smooches SPARKS July Cool Shades challenge {post2}

Hello, friends:}

**Please click HERE for my Ribbon Carousel tutorial. 

Today we start another weekly challenge over at Paper Smooches SPARKS blog!! The third week of the month is always a Cool Shades challenge.  

This week we are inspired by the following colors: 

I created a super fun card using some of my favorite papers {Basic Grey PB & J available HERE from the RC} and some alphas and embellies {Echo Park Paradise Beach available HERE from StopandScrap.com} along with several Paper Smooches stamps {Simply Said, Chit Chat, Green Acres}. I LOOOOOOOOVE how this turned out! SO FUN! My card design was inspired by Kimber McGray's LO from a digital magazine-- LOVE it;)

The dark teal ended up being more navy....oops:)

That's it for me today--but be sure to stop by the other Paper Smooches SPARKS DT members' blogs and leave them some love.

PDCC #138

Hello, friends:} 

We are starting another color story today over on the  Play Date Cafe blog! This week's colors are: cotton candy, ruby, citrus, dusk. 

This has been another crazy week for me, so I couldn't seem to get my colors to match/etc. I ended up using some papers from two pads that I got from StopandScrap. I also used my Cricut to create a fun summer popsicle shape. I used some ruby glitter and colored some white Basic Grey alphas to match the dusk. **The background of the popsicles looks like it matches the dusk better than my letters--OY! I also added some cherry divine twine {Whisker Graphics}. 

That's it for me....but be sure to stop by the PDCC blog for complete details and prize information! Be sure to link up your creations by Tuesday, July 3rd at 11:59pm EST.

And...the PDCC is having an open design call!!! Be sure to stop by the PDCC blog for more info. I hope you will try out!!! The PDCC team is the BEST DT EVER!!!

Thanks for stopping by! Be blessed:}

Sparkle Creations #82 challenge {post1}

Hello, friends:}

**Please click HERE or scroll up/down for my Paper and Such challenge post!

I've created a fun card for the new Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps challenge #82--beach theme! For more information on this challenge, click HERE! 

I had to pull out my new Paradise Beach papers by Echo Park {available HERE from StopandScrap.com} for my card. It was the perfect match for my SCRS Surfing Oliver image! The waves were cut with my SCAL program. LOVE this card--totally makes me wish it wasn't raining out so I could head to the beach!

That's it for me today! Be sure to stop by the SCRS blog for more details and to see the rest of the team's amazing creations!

**Yes, the rumors are AGAIN true! This is my last post as a Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps design team member. I am thankful that I was able to join in the fun for the last six months. I am also thankful that I was able to meet Sparkle earlier this year--she is the SWEETEST! LOVE her to pieces! I also love this team--so many talented women! They've got mad coloring skills! SUPER jealous:) And I've got to be honest--I was extremely nervous about joining the team since I don't color! And it might have taken me about three hours per image to paper piece--but each one was totally worth it! LOVE x10! THANKS so much, Sparkle and SCRS team! 

Thanks so much for stopping by--I can't wait to see what you make for this challenge! Be blessed:}
