Exciting News - Tag You're It!

 Hi there!  I've got some exciting news to share today! I was asked to be a design team member for the new challenge site Tag You're It!

The challenges will be every other week and will feature...you got it, TAGS.  Tags on cards, scrapbook pages, mini tags, gift tags, any project that uses tags.

 To kick off the new site we're having a mini challenge (it will only run for five days).  The inspiration for our mini challenge is Karin Akesdotter's adorable tag below.

Using Karin's tag as inspiration I chose to use the Papertrey Ink stamp set Friendship Jar Summer to create my tag.

Supplies: Friendship Jar Summer, Ombre Builders, Mega Mixed Messages, Tiny Tags die, Ribbon, Button, twine, Foam tape.  Colors: Kraft, Chocolate Chip, Hawaiian Shores.   For more information about playing along with this week's challenge and to see the announcement of the new design team, please pop over to the Tag You're It! site.  

Paper Smooches Designer Draft - You Make Life Sweet

Hiya friends!  Today I have a card to share for the Paper Smooches Designer Draft Challenge.  I used the Paper Smooches stamp set Sugar Rush to create a bright cutesy looking thank you card.  I ended up flipping the sketch, adding a tag and an extra strip of designer paper but overall kept to the sketch.

Supplies: Sugar Rush, Copic markers, Doodlebug Designer paper, PTI tag die, Bakers twine, Googlie eyes, Glossy Accents, Enamel dots, Circle punch, Foam tape.

  Hope you have a great day!  

PTI June Blog Hop - Bowl of Sunshine

Hi there friends!  Today's the Papertrey Ink June Blog Hop and I thought I'd play along.  The inspiration for today's hop is the photo below which to me is very sweet with it's old fashioned bed frames and little girl shoes tucked at the ends. 

I wanted to use the new PTI Bowl of Sunshine set that I just received and decided to pick out a few colors from the inspiration photo (colors from the comforter) along with the idea of the overlapping frames for my layout.  I'm hoping I pulled off a little bit of a retro feel between the colors and the Pyrex bowls.  Anyone who grew up in the seventies probably remembers having bowls like these in their kitchen.  In fact since I'm a thrift store junkie I actually have some in my cupboards right now (not this color though).

Supplies: Bowl of Sunshine + dies, Ombre Builders, Bakers Twine, Score board, Foam tape.  Colors: Hawaiian Shores, Cameo Coral, Daffodil Delight.

  Thank you for visiting and enjoy the hop!  

SSSC#224 - Friendly Flowers

 Hello there!  It's been a while since I've posted, but things have been busy here at our house with birthday's, Father's Day and summer activities.  I hope your summer is going well.

It's Sunday and time for this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge.  Karen has another wonderful sketch for us to use this week and we hope you'll play along.

For my card I used the new Papertrey Ink stamp set Friendly Flowers to create a thinking of you card for a friend.  Dawn McVey designed this stamp set and I absolutely love it, from all the fun flowers to the beautiful sentiments I knew I had to have it.

Supplies: Friendly Flowers set with dies, Buttons, Scallop border punch, My Mind's Eye designer paper, Raspberry Fizz designer paper.  Colors: Daffodil Delight, Cool Caribbean, Hawaiian Shores, Raspberry Fizz, Simply Chartreuse.

SSSC#221/CQC#243 - Birthday Blooms & Get Well Soon

 Hi there folks!  Hope you're having a good weekend!  It's Sunday and time for this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge.

 I created two cards using this week's sketch and the colors from the Colour Queen Challenge #243.  This first card is a birthday card and uses the Papertrey Ink stamp set Bigger Blooms along with some flower gems, button and butterfly.

 The second card is a get well card using the Papertrey Ink stamp sets Trendy Tree Tops and Bitty Blooms.  On both cards the background panels were stamped using different flowers from the Bloom sets and on the card below the top of the tree was popped up as well as three of the flowers for some added dimension.
