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:)

Lift It - The Pink Elephant

Good morning, TPE fans!  This week's challenge at The Pink Elephant is "Lift It!"

I adore Julee Tilman's work so much that I wanted to "lift" one of her beautiful cards!  I adore this card...the contrasting white, gray and coral/red along with the embossed panels, die cuts, seam binding and button..and of course, that fabulous Verve!

I used the Cardabilities Sketch 73 and the Sunday Stamps Color Challenge 45 for my "lift it" card, as well!

As you can see, I attempted to include several of the same ingredients on my card...the embossed panels, banners, die cuts, seam binding and buttons...and of course, a little Verve!  Hope you like it!

Thanks so much for stopping by the stage!

happy birthday

Good morning!  I used the Wish BIG stamp set from The Alley Way Stamps for this fun birthday card today!  The CAS-ual Fridays 99:  Birthday Bash, the deconstructed sketch 98, and Cupcake Inspirations Challenge 207 worked well together to create a cheerful card!

 All you need is some bright and cheerful paper, some ribbon or seam binding, a few die cuts embellishments...and of course some TAWS stamps...and you've got yourself a fun project!

Thanks for stopping by the stage!

sorry...for your loss

After finally recovering from my dear daughter's girl scout camp out Friday night, I had a chance to get in the craft cave and whip up some cards today!  I find myself needing sympathy cards on occasion and never have very many on hand...hopefully, I won't need this one any time soon, but here it is.  

I'm loving the Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge #289 from last week and the Color Throwdown 238, so they were the inspiration for how my card turned out!

I used some Verve goodies on my card...the Make a Statement stamp set, coordinating dies, Rounded Scallop Frame and Loopy Blooms...and Spring Fling Seam Binding.

The lovely paper is from Glitz called Vintage Blue...gorgeous!

I must admit that I was so excited about this news that I stopped by my local craft store hoping it would have the perfect patterned paper for me to use on this challenge...and luckily I found this fabulous My Mind's Eye paper called Lost & Found 2: Blush....gorgeous...a little shabby chic with amazing patterns!

What better way to show of these fabulous new papers that to flash a little VERVE and play along with the April Diva Dare: Butterflies & Blooms!  I used the Surely Goodness stamps and dies with a sentiment from Flutter By.  LOVE me some Verve:)

The challenge over at Our Creative Corner this week asks for Fashion & Style...so I had to play along with it as well!

The paper does the talking on this card!  After adding some stamped layers with die cuts, scalloped fabric, pearls, a button, some twine, a corner accent, and a pretty bow...I think it's done:)

Thanks for stopping by the stage!
