Full of Inspiration

I created this card front for the inspiration challenge this week over on SCS. The inspirational photo was of a Pier 1 living room and the beautiful fall colors in the room are what caught my eye. First, I took out my Unity Giggle Grove set. I inked the trunk of the burberry tree and stamped it on Bazzill Festive cardstock and then cut it out to give it a little more dimension. Then I added these great leaves which I actually got from some blog candy that I won over on Jimmi's blog. I covered my chipboard letters with various patterned papers and popped my bird up on some 3d foam squares. I felt I still needed something in that corner so I used my crop-a-dile to set my large eyelets and then threaded two seperate pieces of ribbon through them and then out the back corner. I am still deciding what I want to do with this. Although it would be a cute card, I am thinking it might be fun to use it to decorate a gift bag or even to use on a scrapbook page.

Here are extra details about the supplies I used: Patterned Paper - Daisy d's & Heidi Grace Designs; Cardstock - Bazzill Festive and Mocha Divine, Doodlebug Kisses; Colorbox fluid chalk - Dark brown; Making Memories eyelets & chipboard alpha stickers

A CASE to Share

I hope you all are having a wonderful day! Yesterday was a gorgeous day here in the Pacific Northwest and so last night I was inspired to make a fresh, floral card. Over at the Unity forum on SCS, Angela challenged us to CASE a card from the ever so talented Jennifer Buck. If you have not seen her work you can check out her blog HERE. And HERE is where you can view the card I chose to case. Below is my version of the card. I chose a more colorful patterned paper and added a prima flower and a little SU hodgepodge hardware. The beautiful stamp is from the Unity Stamp Company. If you have not tried these stamps out yet, be sure to stop by their site and visit the Design Team blogs for some great eye candy. Other supplies for this card: SU wild wasabi cardstock and ribbon, SU hodgepodge hardware, Bazzill white cardstock, Prima flower, A Muse mini dot twinkle stickers, Making Memories crystal brads, and the patterned paper was an unknown scrap from my stash.

Thanks for stopping by!

WELCOME!

Hello all! To any of you visiting me from SCS, thank you for all of your inspiration! I am excited to finally have my own blog so that I can share my creations more with all of you. My goal is to post at least twice a week. I am new to blogging so I would appreciate any comments or suggestions you might have for me. I have been scrap booking for over 5 years now and have gotten into stamping and card making in the last two years. I have found the stamping and scrap booking communities to be filled with such nice and creative people. I look forward to getting to know some of you better and letting you learn a little more about me. Now I am going to try to post my first project. This is a card I made last night for my brother. I love this boy's line of paper by My Mind's Eye.
Here are the details for this card:
Patterned Paper: My Mind's Eye Card Stock: Bazzill - Festive & Mocha Divine
Stamps: Happy Birthday sentiment - SU Think Happy Thoughts; Stars and Headed for Stardom sentiment - Verve Starlight/Starbright set

Thanks so much for stopping by!

My SCS gallery

Well, I think I almost have this whole blog thing figured out. In this post I am going to see if I can link to my SCS gallery. So, for anyone who may have found this blog already you can see some of my cards HERE.

Checking Again...

I changed a few things so I just want to make sure everything is still set up right.

Yeah! It worked!

I am no computer expert so I am feeling pretty proud of myself right now for figuring out my header, 3 column template, and signature line. More to come soon!

Is this thing working???

I am trying to figure this whole signature thing out and it does not look right while I am typing this but I am going to post this and see if once it is posted it looks right. To anyone who might possibly be reading this...Hello! And thank you for visiting!
