Inspired By All The Little Things #80

Hello hello! 

I'm back again with another "Inspired By All the Little Things" guest post.

This is honestly such a fun challenge because there are so many things to be inspired by in the images each time. You can take one thing and run with it, or do what I did in this case and incorporate as much goodness from the original picture as you can into your card!

Here is the most recent challenge image:

Isn't it gorgeous?!

Can you see all the ways I was inspired? That birdcage, the wings, the gold "hello," the flowers, the colors, and the barnwood backdrop. Phewww. I think I truly was inspired by ALL the little things:)

I hope you'll play along with us for challenge #80 at Inspired By All The Little Things! Create a project and link it up so we can all see what inspires YOU! You have until Thursday March 1 to link your card. 

Many thanks to Veronica for inviting me to be February's guest designer. I am now a regular fan of this fun challenge:)

Inspired by All the Little Things #79

I was asked by the incredible Veronica Z to be the guest designer over at Inspired By All The Little Things challenge blog!

This is the sweet image I was given to find inspiration:

I think it's pretty obvious where I pulled the inspiration from:) There is something about old bicycles that just warms my heart. Pun intended!

I also liked that red polka dot package with the green bow, and the word "love" on the white pillow. 

Bicycle, sentiment, teeny hearts, and word bubble stamps from Wilson Designs Ride Away With Me set. Don't you just love that tandem bicycle?

Big "love" word die is from Neat & Tangled, Heart dies are from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps, cardstock and patterned paper from PTI.  

What inspires YOU about that image above? Why not join in and play along with this challenge! 

Thanks for stopping by,

Denami Sketch challenge

Hi friends!

Today I'm posting a card I created for the Denami Sketch challenge. Can you tell I was in a krafty mood? HA!
I love the large sunflower stamp, and couldn't resist paper pieceing and popping the tops up. The gold pearls in the middle make me happy. The sentiment is from the Thoughtfull Greetings set. A bit of stitching and some twine finish it off.

Wendy created such a cute sketch, don't you think? I turned it on its side, but I think I was the only one! *chuckle*

Be sure to look at all the DT samples, so fabulous!
You can check out all the details and see the cards on the Denmai Blog. I sure hope you'll play along for some sweet Denami prizes! There will be three Top Honors and one $20 gift Certificate winner! WOO HOO!

Thanks for stopping by,

It's secret spilling time again!

I have some more happy news to share with all of you!

Does the above card give you a hint?

Yes?

No?

I am the Guest Designer for Denami Design for the month of May!

Woo hoo! Not only do I get to work with some adorable, high-quality, deeply-etched rubber stamps, I also get to use their awesome textured CS, pretty patterned paper, lush ribbons, and gorgeous buttons too! Am I lucky or what? *grin*

Everything you see above came from Denami. The grey and green CS, the citrus slice image, the sentiment (from the heartfelt greetings set), the pink grosgrain, the fun PP and the button too! (I did color that with Copics though...)

And just wait until you see what fun things are coming up with the rest of the Design team and on the Denami blog, you won't want to miss a thing. *wink*

Thanks for sharing in my fun news today!

You all are the best, most supportive readers out there.

OH, and HAPPY ROYAL WEDDING DAY TOO!

Guest Designer

Fun news...

I am so proud and lucky to announce that I was asked to be a Guest Designer for CS Designs for April! Woo hoo! What an honor.

Chris designs the most incredible, unique digital stamps out there. I love that they have pizazz and panache! There really is something for everyone in her online store...from cute and whimsical, to artsy and dramatic.

This is her Framed Geisha 2.

It was fun to apply "make-up" to her face just like I was playing dress up with dolls! *chuckle* I also love how the embossed BG matches her kimono. 

Thanks for sharing in my fun news. 


A few weeks ago I used my first digital stamp from CS Designs, HERE. DO you remember it?

Expect to see more of CSDesigns images in the next few weeks, because I can't stop coloring and playing with them.

Hope you have a Terrific Tuesday!
