Happy Spring

Happy Spring! This card my second project designing for CutCardStock, I used the Curious Metallic paper in the white and lime green, this paper is even on sale right now at CutCardStock. Curious Metallic is to die for, its shimmer is so pretty and rich looking it really makes any project pop! Once you have a solid, quality base as in a great cardstock, it really make designing so much fun and a breeze. 

Thanks for all your sweet comments!

Enjoy the Little Things

Happy Sunday!!  Fusion has a new challenge up, I love this clean fresh picture they used for inspiration. I used watercolor in my card, this technique seems to be all the rage so I dug up my old paints...fun, enjoying the little things!

Spring is knocking on the door here in beautiful Colorado. Yesterday it was a glorious 72, today we are expected to get 2 inches of snow. I drove to Boulder yesterday and saw about 100 precious baby cows, so spring is definatly here! Mod Squad has a Springy color palette to play with, I chose to work with the colors black, white, buttercup yellow, and an orangish red. Thanks for the inspiration Mod Squad!

I found a new challenge blog, I love me a good challenge blog, The Card Concept! The challenge today is to use a floral theme. I adore all flowers so this one was easy for me, I made a dainty baby girl card, using a Shabby Chic look. Thanks for the new inspiration The Card Concept!

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.
