Waltzingmouse Stamps Blog Party--February 2012

Hello Everyone!

It's time for the Waltzingmouse Stamps February Blog Party!

Birthday Wishes

 

I used 4 different Waltzingmouse Stamp sets on this card, plus my Cricut to make the flowers.

Stamps:  Gingham and Co, Vintage Labels 4, Fancy Flourishes--Scallops & Dots, and Basket Additions (WMS)

Ink:  Bamboo Leaves, Rich Cocoa, Pear (Memento); Cupcake, Lilac (Doodlebug)

Cardstock:  Vintage Cream, Spring Rain (PTI); Pinks, Purples, Greens (Doodlebug Bazzill)

Accessories:  Buttons (Doodlebug), Twine and Spring Rain Gingham Ribbon (PTI)

I can't wait to go check out everyone's creations for the party!  Have a wonderful weekend, and thanks for stopping by!

TE Sketch Challenge #151

Hello Everyone,

I am excited to have a card ready just in the nick of time for Taylor's Sketch Challenge!  Here is Taylor's sketch #151:

I decided to play with some of the digi images Taylor posted when Taylored Expressions first joined Splitcoast as a member company.  Then I discovered I had a TE Project Pantry Kit from last year that I had hidden away and thought it would be put to better use in a card! Here is what I came up with:

 

Stamps:  Taylored Expressions Download

Cardstock:  Pink Pirouette (SU), Stamper's Select White (PTI); TE Project Pantry Kit

Patterned Paper:  TE Project Pantry Kit

Accessories:  Glitter, Chipboard, Heart Brads. Taylor's Tiny Twinkles (on top the Eiffel tower!)

Hope everyone is having a great day, thanks for stopping by!

P.S.  Taylor, if you stop by--Julie loved the picture of you and Madi!  :)

Happy February Everyone!  I wanted to share a quick card today that I made a few weeks ago for a friend that had had surgery.  This is my first Lawn Fawn card--their stamps are so fun and the images come out so cute!

Wishing you a Speedy Recovery

 

Stamps:  On the Mend (Lawn Fawn)

Papertrey Ink January Blog Hop Challenge

Hello Friends!  Today is the PTI January Blog Hop Challenge--this month, we were asked to pick a favorite project from 2011 and share it, and to use that project as an inspiration to create a new project!  I just finished my new card last night at midnight . . . .

So here is my original favorite PTI project from 2011, originally seen on my blog in July here. 

 

I then created a new card using the same patterned paper pack and color scheme, general sketch, and using more Button Bits (which I really need to play with more, they are so much fun!)

Happy Happy Joy Joy

Stamps:  Blooming Button Bits (PTI)

Ink:  Dark Chocolate (PTI); Butterscotch (Vivid)

Cardstock:  Ocean Tides, Stampers Select White (PTI); Pumpkin Spice (Gina K Designs)

Patterned Paper:  Stampin Up

Accessories:  Buttons (Misc), Ribbon (CTMH), Rhinestones

I can't wait to see everyone else's favorites--have a wonderful day and thanks for visiting!
