you're amazing

I have used the awesoem flower set from the stamp market called watercolor bouquet stamp set. I was inspired by the gorgoeus photo at inpsired by...luv the flowers against the navy dress. The sweet sentiment is from the simon says stamp set called brush stroke. I have added gold sequins and twine, super fun card to create! I am luvin using press n seal wrap for placing a collage of flowers and leaves like this.....makes it so easy to design! If you have not used it or not sure what I am talking about, check out this video here. happy creating!

words with meaning - gratitude is one of the sweet shortcuts on finding peace of mind and happiness inside.

I adore the photo, but I would have not put these two colors together, but luv the outcome on my card. Hope you have a wonderful rest of the week!

mojo monday/mojo494-kindness

hello and welcome, the mojo monday sketch challenge has a sweet little sketch for you to try. I have put the circle on the other side but still added the layers in my own little way *grin*. I have used a glittery die cut bloom that was in my stash and then added a heart shaped die cut that I added a bit of watercolor smashing to. I die cut the felt bloom using a verve stamp cut above die and the leaves are from the die loopy blooms. The awesome sentiment is the verve set kindness matters.

words with meaning - a grateful heart is a magnet for miracles!

inspired by-a note to say hello

I could not be happier to be playing along with inspired by this week...my dear friend wanda asked me to be her quest...thank you so much wanda! They are celebrating their 50th challenge, join us for the fun! I am a true fan of the inspired by challenge, I adore the gorgoeus photos that are shared week after week....this week;'s photo is no exception, actually it may be one of my favorites! I have used none other than the gorgeous stamp from the stamp market...another favorite if mine...luv this company! This stamp is called bloomed stamp & cut bundle it is gorgoeus! I was inspired by the lights, the gorgoeus flowers, and of course the b&w stripes. I have used embossing paste, washi tape, sponging, and sequins....super fun card to create!

I had a bit of a scare with my blog this past week and wanted to give you all some helpful advice. Be sure to make yourself admin on your blog with several emails, that way if you get locked out of your blog you can get back in with the other email...you gotta remember the email though *grin*

Julee has been offering digis for a limited time, be sure to follow the verve blog to pick yours up...she is offering another one now. Be sure to stop by the mojo makers blogs to see how they have used this week sketch.

I used one single bloom and watercolored it with prima confection pans. The birthday sentiment is from a simon set and I added a few my mind's eye enamel dots. I did not have any altenew inks, but I may or may not have ordered more than half of them...aaannnnd I may or may not order the rest this week *grin*...I hear so much good about those inks, so I am giving them a try..cannot wait to share!

Hello and welcome to this weeks simon says stamp wednesday challenge, we are creating anything but a card this week. The design team is using products from we r memory keepers. Don't forgot every week at Simon Says Stamp we give away a $50 voucher...wooohooo....now that is worth playing for!

I have created a shaker...eeeccckkkk. I am so shaker challenged, but used the fuse tool with clear fusable sheets and created an adorable shaker pack and paired it with the sweet shaker tag embellie. I also used the letter embossing folder from we r memory keepers and then painted only the letters L O V E....I then added all sorts of sequins and beads for a fun shaker. The tab was created using the tab punch and the word love is from a hero arts set. The bag has a couple cards and envies inside for the perfect gift. I can't wait to see what you create!
