Inspired By All the Little Things: Wedding Wishes



I am enchanted with pretty table settings and adore the colors and mood of the IBATLT photo!  I am also smitten with frames right now and decided to create one using a blend of the pink, coral, and yellows in the ph
oto.  Lots of fun die cuts* were used along with a sentiment from Verve's Love Everlasting.

Thanks for visiting and have a blessed Resurrection Sunday,
Christine

Sunday Stamps Color Palette: Birthday Wishes


What an inspiration photo!  Who doesn't love those speckled candy eggs....and they create such a gorgeous color combination.

I used papers from a watercolor pad, layered some die cuts, and added MFT's Stitched Florals  and a sentiment from Joyful Blooms to complete a quick and spring-y card for my depleted stash.  Such fun!

Thanks for taking a look!

VLV Green Challenge: Cast Your Cares on the Lord


Verve's March Inspiration Challenge  is simple and wide open:  Green.  It challenged me to use some papers I might have passed by.  The soft green and geometric patterned paper came from a Heidi Swapp  stack.  The layers helped to tone down the graphic strip, and I like the softness of the background.  The green layer of the feather is a paint chip...one more way I embarrass DH---collecting paint swatches in home improvement stores. They are great fro crafting, though.

Images and dies:  Scripture Medley Five and Beautiful Things from Verve.  The feather dies are by Papertrey Ink.

Thank you for taking a look,
Christine

AHSC 256: Birthday Wishes


Reverse Confetti's Lacy Scalloped Frames form the layers suggested by the Atlantic Hearts Sketch, and the floral stem was created using Joyful Blooms by Verve. The little tag is from a  package purchased for tagging sale items and is perfect for the tiny sentiment, also from Joyful Blooms.

Thanks for visiting,
Christine

Spring Floral Birthday




So many challenges...so little time!  For this card, I let several challenges do the decision making.  The breathtaking color inspiration board was  created for the current SSS Wednesday Challenge, the sketch with such lovely layers was provided by Sunday Stamps, and it's fun to create a birthday card to celebrate both with a friend and with Time Out Challenge as it turns four.

Lots of dies were used to cut solids from my scrap files:  A2 Noted by Papertrey Ink, Reverse Confetti Gift Card Holder Tag,  and Little Inker Designs Quilted Flowers.

Thanks for visiting,
Christine
