I hope you are enjoying your week so far! I have a fun card to share with you today. I heated embossed the flowers and colored them with Tim Holtz Distress Inks. Just smoosh the ink pad onto a non stick craft mat, and pick up the ink with a Water Brush…or spritz the ink with a bit of water and use a paint brush. I did use water color paper, but for this quick project any heavy weight CS should work. No skills required. Easy and fun and the supplies for this card can be found in the 7 Kids College Fund Store.

Little Darlings Photo Inspiration Challenge

I am so very excited to be able to join the Little Darling Design Team as a guest designer for the month of May! Telling you that I’m thrilled doesn't even begin to cover how I'm feeling!

There’s so many fabulous and exciting things going on over there! Just last month, Angie introduced several beautiful background stamps to go along with her Little Darlings and Cutie Pie stamps... and last week, she just announced that Little Darlings Rubber Stamps is the new Manufacturer and North American Distributor of Saturated Canary RUBBER STAMPS!!! Isn’t that fun?

The theme for this challenge is a Shabby Chic Photo Inspiration.  I chose the adorable Cutie Pie stamp, What a Sweetheart….and she is, isn’t she?

Super Exciting News!

I am so thrilled to finally be able to tell you all… that I was invited to join the Paper Play Challenges Design Team and I am just so very happy about it!!   It’s a super, fun..and as far as I can tell…so far…. slightly off center group women with a love for crafting. Hmmm… sounds familiar?

Anyhoo…on to the challenge, which is Use Your Stamps with Pins and Pearls and I thought it would be a fantastic opportunity to break out my Justrite Just Keep Calm stamp set.

The card base was cut on my Cameo.

I hope you’ll be able to join the rest of the Paper Play design team for this weeks challenge.

I got a little nervous…and did two versions. Actually, there’s a few versions, but I’m only crazy enough to show two.

Okey dokey! Have a fantastic weekend and thank you so much for visiting!
