Congrats




The Color Throwdown always seems to spark my creativity. This is such a stunning color pallet, half the fun is searching through my paper stash looking for the perfect colors to match. I really enjoyed making this card. Thank you for the inspiration ladies and happy weekend!

Save the Date




How yummy is this Cure for the Monday Blues #5 inspiration photo?? This clean "frame it" photo gave me so much inspiration I could have made 10 cads from it. My Save the Date card has a hidden message behind it... I will be announcing some BIG news soon! I wish I could give you a date, but it's soon.

Thanks for all your sweet comments!

Too Cute for Words



Color throw down might becoming one of my favorite challenge blogs. The pairings of colors are wonderful, who knew pastashio green would work with pink and red! Thanks for the inspiration ladies and happy weekend!

Together


It's Wednesday and heres  Cure for the Monday Blues Challenge #3 and it's pattern-tastic! I loved this image the second I saw it but pulling a card out of it was a little bit harder. I think I was thinking to hard...I just had to simplify things.  Here's to great inspiration and a challenge!

CAS-ual Friday Challenge • Snowman Hug



I made this little card with a snowman hug because here in Colorado it's a winter wonderland with temperatures in the teens and lots, and lots of snow! I got my inspiration from my good friend Michele Gross who has a fabulous Challenge blog Cas-ual Friday's along with and even more fabulous stamp line. Michele's stamps are awesome, and witty... I need to get some. This weeks challenge was to make a CAS card with an extended edge. Thanks for the inspiration CAS-ual Friday's!
