Have you heard of...

Craft Critique? I recently discovered their site when I was looking through Pub Calls and saw that they are looking for a few new reporters for their site. Although I am not applying for a reporter position, I have been checking out their site and have found it to be a great resource. There are lots of great articles reviewing a variety of products. Craft Critique is currently celebrating their 2 year anniversary and are giving away all sorts of goodies so be sure to stop by and check out what the site is all about!

SCS Inspiration Challenge

This weekend the SCS inspiration challenge was too cute to pass up! Spunky Sprout has adorable, stylish products and clothing for kids.


I was inspired by these sweet Mary Jane shoes.
I just fell in love with the colors and design.


Here is the card I was inspired to create:




I used SU Blue Bayou cardstock, Unity stamps (Gratitude=Joy and Amazing Me sets), some soft, green velvety ribbon, and SU Hodgepodge hardware. This 4 x 4 card was super simple to make and I think it turned out pretty cute! Thank you for visiting today...stay tuned for a weekend full of posts as I am participating in Scrapbook News & Review's Blog-a-log on Friday, EtsyInspired Saturday, and I will be revealing my first Just My Sketches DT card on Sunday! :)

Verve Release Sketch Challenge

This evening, Verve Stamps is having a release party and Julee posted a sketch challenge yesterday on the Verve blog...three lucky winners are going to get one new Verve set of their choice! So, of course I had to play along! :) HERE is the Verve sketch and here is my card...

Thanks for stopping by today! Hope you are having a wonderful weekend!

Mojo Monday 76

Hope you all are a having a good week! Last night I created this card using the Mojo Monday sketch #76.

I used Stampin' Up's Autumn Vines paper, Unity's Hawaiian Stem stamp, and a Hero Arts sentiment stamp. Then I added some gorgeous brown satin ribbon (from Taylored Expressions) and gave the card a little sparkle by applying copper Stickles to my image and dots along the bottom of the card. Thanks for stopping by today! I will be back on Saturday to share my EtsyInspired card!
