Flying By....

Hi Friends - I'm on a roll - can't stop me now... **grin**  Back to share with you a card I finished for a challenge going on over at Paper Smooches - a Card stock challenge..  Make a card using nothing but card stock - no patterned paper. Sometimes that is harder for me than anything, because I {heart} my 6 x 6 paper pads - and I've got enough to last me for a lifetime.


 I am also submitting this into the latest Lawnscaping Challenge.  So -  this was another fun challenge for me.  I just made my scene with PS set "Metropolis".  I know at times I have a "lead foot" - so I "ran" with the idea of this cute lil car speeding down the road.  He's got good intentions though - he's speeding to make it into this challenges and saying "hi" at the same time!  HAHA.

                 

I used not only this PS set - I used a couple of Lawn Fawn sets - like " Flying by" for part of the sentiment, and " You've Got Mail"  - the wavy lines to represent the car speeding by.  :o)  The "Hi" sentiment comes from PS "Word Up".  

Have a great day everyone!

PS Sparks DT Call Submission

Good Evening!! Paper Smooches is having a DT call for their challenge blog - and I wanted to throw my bid in on having the chance to make their DT.  Part of the application process is to draw inspiration from one of the photos past or present that they have submitted for the challenges ( past or present).  I am drawing my inspiration from this photo -

I LOVE the colors in this photo - bright and clean colors.  I am really drawn to a bright green color lately.  So - here is what I came up with from this photo- 

I used PS sets Debonair, and the sentiment is from Word Up.  I loved how the flowers just came together - and I know you really can't tell from the photo - but the button I had from my stash has a chevron pattern to it!!  So hot right now!!  

I know there will be lots of wonderful designers submitting their apps too for a chance to be on the wonderful challenge blog - and to represent the one and only Paper Smooches.  Their stamps are so much fun and whimsical and the fonts one their sentiments are one of a kind!  Wish me luck!!

Be back soon for another card share!!

Stay Inspired!!

Paper Smooches Challenge

It is a beautiful today to be crafty!  Hi all!  Hope your weekend is off to a great start!!  I want to share with you my submission to my first Paper Smooches Challenge.  In the last few months I discovered PS stamps, and I love their style.  So cute, and versatile.  I just love their font!!  Very whimsical.

This week the challenge is to create a card being inspired by this photo

For me, sketches and photos are a bit more of a challenge for me to make a card, why I don't know.  There is inspiration all around us, and that certain something will inspire us and off we go, so I am proud of what has come of my project this time.  As I don't have many PS stamps yet ( slowly building them up), I knew this was a challenge in itself.  Luckily - I received my new set Metropolis.  I used the image that looks like fireworks to me, and I created a circle of color.  Goes great with the sentiment, don't you think?!  The sentiment comes from the PS set Word Salad.  The Kraft card base brings out the white doily, and all the color!  Here is another look at my submission

Make today great, and hope everyones weekend is fantastic!!  See you soon!!
