Bonjour!

Bonjour! Happy Weekend!

When I saw the Avery Elle AEI♥U Challenge this week- I just had to play along!



I finally had a card to put these macarons I had inked up when I first bought some Memento Luxe Inks- & I just spied some new to me colors and Joann's think I *need* them!



Enjoy your weekend.. looking forward to some more crafty time this weekend- it's way too HOT to do anything else!

Stripes or Plaid?

or both?!

It's time for another Farm Fresh Friday Challenge @The Greeting Farm! Marcy is hosting this week and her challenge is to use plaid or stripes!

I couldn't decide... so I used BOTH! :) Using the sweet girl from the WS Wild Child, I made this with my lil niece in mind.. her favorite color of the moment is ORANGE & she's going to be starting kinder soon.. might just have to have my sis sneak this in her backpack :)



Check out what the rest of the design team created over on the TGF blog & I can't wait to see what you create for the challenge..

Feelin' Foxy

Hi again!

I took big advantage of my lil guy's long nap yesterday and found some time to get inky for the new Lawnscaping Challenge Summer Colors!



I'm still totally in love with all of Lawn Fawn's adorable critters... but I gotta say this little fox is my favorite! (Shhh... don't tell the others!)



I masked a rectangle, inked it up with some Salted Ocean & Squeezed Lemonade Distress Inks, fussy cut the fox and popped him up with some foam tape. Inked up the hello bubble in Spiced Marmalade Distress ink & finished it off with some enamel dots! :)

Thanks for stopping by!

BAM! You're Super! POW!

I was SOO excited when I saw this freebie from Chi Chi Memories!

It's a mini Wonder Woman, "My Heroine"!! She's especially perfect because my niece has already declared that she's going to be Wonder Woman for Halloween this year! (Though it's still early and that may change.. but still cute none the less!)



I had so much fun creating this card.. and thought since I missed making a patriotic card for the 4th this one would make up for it!

She and the other new July releases are all available now in the CCM store!!

Hello {Rainbow} World!

So I finally tackled some more cleaning and organizing of my craft room this weekend... it was LOOONG overdue! But of course after I cleaned off my desk I just messed it all up again after deciding to get inky! LOL

I decided to join in on the fun over at The Cutting Edge challenge #2 this week.... I totally love Karolyn's card that is the inspiration for the challenge & it just so happens that I have the same building die-cut from Paper Smooches (Super 2)! And I just needed an "excuse" to play with some of my dies!



I die cut the buildings from watercolor paper and went to town with a rainbow assortment of Distress Inks (Fired Brick, Spiced Marmalade, Squeezed Lemonade, Mowed Lawn, Salty Ocean, & Dusty Concord) to make my 'city'. I also added the hello diecut & finished it off with a couple of enamel accents dots!



& what's one of my cards without some faux stitching?

Oh and since I used nothing but die-cuts on this card I'm entering it in Virginia's View Challenge #5: Die-Cuts too!

Thanks for stopping by- hope you all had a fabulous weekend!

Farm Fresh Friday: Anything Goes!!

Happy 4th of July to all my readers (in the U.S.A)!!

I'm popping in to share with you this week's Farm Fresh Friday Challenge at The Greeting Farm- brought to you this week by Chitra! & this week is an easy one- Anything Goes!

Now after creating my card I had second thoughts thinking I should have gone a little more patriotic with red, white, & blue- but I already had this sweet Anya colored from the new My Sunshine set (available now!!)



I created the background on watercolor paper and distress inks (salty ocean & mowed lawn), flicked some water drops and embossed it for some fun texture.

Check out the TGF blog for all the details on the challenge- hope to see you play along! ;)

May have some spare time today to create another more patriotic card today before hopefully catching some fireworks!

Happy 4th!
