CASE Study Challenge #82

Yes, please..... let us indulge in a bit more of Laura's creative genius over at the CASE Study Challenge Blog. See what I mean? Be-u-ti-ful!

The cute little bird die is from Wplus9's Folk Art Florals set and the sentiment(s) are from Papertrey Ink.

ColourQ Challenge #128

                                       
I've never entered a ColourQ challenge before, though I have thought about it many, many times!. And....not sure if I'm green kinda girl (despite the fact that St. Patrick's Day is just around the corner!). However,  I did give my Lifestyle Crafts dies a pretty good work out!

CASE Study Challenge #81 and PTI MIM #57

               

                     

Laura Bassen is another of my favorite stampers.....always such lovely inspiration! Seriously..... every, single, one of her creations is something that I would love to duplicate. Anyway, this card owes much/all to Laura's style, with a layout inspired by Maile Belles and Deanna at Kloset Kreations, and is my contribution to CASE #81 challenge. In addition, I've also used Heather Nichols' PTI MIM #57 technique....."colored kissing" (see that little pear over there?). Thanks for taking a peek and have a great week!

CR84FN #50

Whoo hoo..... I'm on a CR4FN roll and LOVE the pink/orange/yellow combo! Right up my color loving alley!

CR84FN #49

  I am always up for a challenge and love the color combo presented at CR84FN this week (my first time participating)! As you can see, I've used my arsenal of punched and die cut flowers! And OMG....my newbie self had quite the challenging time photographing that gray CS and ribbon!

                                                 

Papertrey MIM #55: Creating Large Frames with Smaller Frame Stamps.... #2

And..... here is version #2 for the PTI MIM #55 challenge. Can you tell that I was still obsessing over the same stamp and the same ink colors? OK, so time to clean up my crafting mess and move on!

Papertrey MIM #55: Creating Large Frames with Smaller Frame Stamps.... #1

Hi! The PTI weekly MIM challenge was to use create a large frame with a smaller frame stamp so I was obsessed/determined to use my new-to-me Celebrations stamp set. This set has so many possibilities, but i was really concentrating on this one frame stamp and some bits and pieces that were on my very messy crafting desk! I'm not really happy with the placement of the sentiment, but will try, try again! Thanks for taking a look!
