Pure Innocence & Colour Q!

Hello everyone and welcome to Thursday! So sorry I've been a little quite this week but it's been another busy one!!

Today's card was inspired by this week's Colour Q Challenge and Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 67. When I saw the colors for this week's Colour Q Challenge I knew right away I wanted to use this cute image by Pure Innocence called 'My Umbrella'. I am in LOVE with these sweet little images! And of course I can always count on a great sketch by Karen and her Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenges!!

Thanks for Stopping by!!

OCC Mother's Day Challenge

Hello everyone and welcome to Saturday and another challenge from the OCC Design Team! Today is the first day of May and our hostess for this month over at Our Creative Corner is Loretta Lock from Love to Create . Loretta's Challenge for us this week is to make a Mother's Day card with no Flowers! Hmmmmm ..... here is what I came up with, what about you?

Thanks for Stopping by!!

Stamps: No stamps used on this card

Paper: Chocolate Chip, So Saffron, Whisper White, Regal Rose DSP, Love Sparkles Simply Scrappin'

Ink: Regal Rose

Accessories: Hodge Podge Hardware, Buttons, Linen Thread, Pretty in Pink Satin Ribbon, 'Flirty' Ribbon Originals, Nestibilites

Edit to post: I was asked about the hearts on this card, if they were a die or not. They are actually stickers from a Simply Scrappin' Scrapbook kit by Stamping Up!~ The Name of the kit is called 'Love Sparkles'. I placed each heart sticker onto a piece of whisper white cardstock and cut around each one of them as I did not want them to be 'sticky' on the back.

Pure Innocence & Curtain Call

Hello everyone & welcome to Tuesday!


I have been admiring these cute little images by Pure Innocence for sometime now, I finally gave in and bought some for myself!! I think they are just toooo cute!!



Today's card was inspired by Stacey's Curtain Call Color Challenge 27. When I saw the colors I thought 'Girl' card all the way. I'm going to drop this card in the mail to my daughter who is away at college right now, (boy do I miss her!). Can't wait until she can home for a few weeks!

Hello Everyone and welcome to Saturday and another Challenge from 'Our Creative Corner'. This week, our hostess Dana Grothaus is challenging us to make a card/project using 'Blossoms' on it. Another easy challenge for me, I think 99.9 % of my cards use some type of flower on them! I couldn't help but use another vellum butterfly on this week's card as well! Hop on over to 'Our Creative Corner' and check out what the other Design Team members are up to and be inspired!

OCC ~ Beautiful Butterflies!

Hello everyone and welcome to Saturday and another Challenge from the OCC! This week's challenge is another fabulous one from our April Hostess Dana Grothaus. This Week Dana is challenging us to create a card/project using Butterflies! They can be big, small, punched, stamped or on patterned paper.....we just want to see your beautiful butterflies! Well, easy enough for me, I LOVE Butterflies!

I made these beautiful Butterflies by embossing my images onto cardstock vellum using my Brocade Blue & So Saffron craft ink, then embossing them with 'Pretty Pearls' embossing powder. I was so sad when SU! decided to retire 'Pretty Pearls' and some of the other speciality embossing powders!
