You Amaze Me - BLD

Happy Tuesday Inspiration from the gals and I from By LORi Designs!  It's BLD Challenge Day, #51, too!  This week, we're challenging you to use the color YELLOW!

I used the CAS(E) this Sketch #36 as the clean and simple layout of my card along with lots of yellow from The Play Date Cafe #190!

It's amazing how much faster a clean and simple card is to put together!  I thought this card would be super cute for one of own kiddos when they amaze me with something unexpected...which seems to happen more and more as they are growing up!

Thanks for stopping by the stage!

Color Throwdown July Guest Designer

Good morning!  Great news...I will be Guest Designer over at the Color Throwdown for the month of July!  I have been playing along with this cool challenge for years, so I'm honored with the invitation to join the design team this month!  Today's challenge, CTD249, calls for some festive colors that are perfect for a tribute to the 4th of July holiday!  

I used an adorable Lollipop image from By LORi Designs called Independence Julie...how sweet is she waving the American flag and dressed up for the occasion?!  There's a new challenge over at By LORi Designs today, too...BLD #50:  Summer Fun:)

Not only did the beautiful inspiration photo and color scheme from Color Throwdown inspire my card...the Mojo Monday Sketch #300, Ribbon Carousel #83: Celebrate Your Heritage, Simon Says Stamp: Patriotic, and CAS-ology: Fireworks helped a little, too! 

 

I colored up the BLD image with Copic markers and layered her up on some fun papers, Fancy Pants Down by the Shore that I got from the i {heart} papers store!  After adding a doily, seam binding, button, twine and a little bit of Stickles, this feminine card is complete!

BLD - Miracles Can Happen

It's Tuesday Inspiration time over at By LORi Designs!  I used this new adorable spring image form BLD!  

I was inspired by two challenges for my card today...The Play Date Cafe 178 and Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 182.

 After coloring the image with Copic markers, I layered her up on several bright pieces of American Crafts patterned paper...love the pink and yellow...so happy!

Thanks for stopping by the stage!  There's a new BLD Challenge coming soon, so stop back by tomorrow:)

By LORi Designs - Some Bunny Loves You

It's time for the Tuesday Inspiration over at By LORi Designs...and I'm so very happy to share this adorable Puddle Jumper, Darla with Bunny,...just adore her sweet curls:)  Thanks, Lori Boyd, for being the amazing artist that you are, but most of all...thanks for being a genuine friend and faith sister of mine!

I used the deconstructed sketch #94 as the layout inspiration...fabulous with the broken background panel and partial banner strip with bow:)  

 Miss Darla and her bunny friend were colored with Copic markers, then mounted on a few layers of spring-colored and patterned paper...then finished off with some stitching, a bow and button treatment.

I Miss You - BLD 38

Good morning!  Are you ready for a color inspiration challenge?  The ByLORiDesigns Challenge 38 this week is to use the color PINK and another color of your choice!  I chose to use PINK along with aqua and a splash of red:)  What will you choose?  

The Unscripted Sketch 193 was the layout inspiration for my card today!  The little guy I used here is called Lollipop Dylan Valentine from ByLORiDesigns.
