This will be my last card for Twisted Sketches.   It’s been a great experience being on the design team, as Anam always created such lovely and inspiring sketches for us to use.  I will miss it for sure and wish everyone involved the best! The twist this week is “thank you.”

 

Be sure to head over to the blog to catch the last card sketch! It’s a fun one! I used lots of paper from the Crate Paper Pretty Party Collection on this one.  I die cut and tag and added some twine and stamping.   Simple!

Oh pinwheels…so springy and whimsical.  I love them.  So I couldn’t resist picking up a cute little rubber pinwheel stamp on a recent shopping spree.  It’s going to be a HOT and HUMID next couple days…and I hate hot. Ugh. Anyways…here’s a cute little card I made a while back.

How have I just discovered Pretty Little Studio?!??!?!?! I spent a ridiculous amount of time on their blog, gallery, and website looking in their on-line shop yesterday.  And I am in love with ALL of their products.  They use the most adorably whimsical vintage images and all sorts of lovely paper goodies.  I will most certainly be ordering some once my shell shock has worn off a bit.  I was thrilled to find they offer several printable products for free, such as this tag!  So I quickly printed it out and ran to make a card, using this week’s sketch challenge for inspiration!

The sketches are suited very well for scrapbook layouts.  But those intimidate me.  I am however, re-starting my Project Life! And Pretty Little Studio sells lots of adorable products that are suitable for PL! AHHH.  Can you tell I am in love with this store yet??!

For the card, I used some designer paper from Crate Paper and some of their coordinating stickers.  I die cut a small tag and tied a small twine bow.  And I used some Mr. Huey’s for the white paint splotches.  The rose is from Michael’s, and it was a last minute addition because it was out on my desk.  Now I am off to fill up my shopping cart over at Pretty Little Studio! Yay!

I am loving the new challenges at the Paper Smooches Sparks site.  This week they shared a lovely inspiration photo.

If I could play the piano, I’d want that one.  And those plates! My, oh my! I was inspired by the color, florals on the plates, pattern on the wall and placement of the vases.

I stamped/embossed the circles in various sizes, to mimic the plates, using my newly aquired Gently Seasoned Stamp Set.  The sentiment is from Sentiment Sampler set.  I added some Crate Paper punched paper and rhinestones for a few finishing touches.

I created this SIMPLE little  card for a couple challenges…Moxie Fab World’s Spatter Technique & Case Study.  Aga is one talented card maker.  My card has nothing on hers, but I was inspired none-the-less.  I used some Mr. Huey’s for the grey and aqua  spatter, and paint for the yellow.  A simple sentiment, die cut heart, and button..and was done! Piece of cake.

Can you see my pot peeking through in the background.  I created a matching set of painted terracotta pots , complete with paint spatter and all, for my herb garden.  Check out my blog post with all the details here!
