Beary Blue

Hi everyone! Today is the 2nd Challenge in the PaperWorks Ultimate Summer Challenge and the teams participating are to create a card using the colours green, yellow, blue and red. This was the example I made and I used the adorable Rachelle Anne Miller stamp called "Beary Best of Friends" found only at PaperWorks Co. I cut the bear out and put him on these layers of cardstock shaped with my Fair Isle Spellbinders Die. The paper used is from Echo Park, which happens to be the paper featured in the PWCO August card kit, I'm really loving this months kit, it's so pretty :)

Love is Gone

I have a new challenge posted on my Paper Jewels Blog and the challenge is to create a project using Ribbon & Flowers. This was the example card I made. The image is called "Love is Gone" and I coloured her with Copics. And I decided to play along with the ribbon and make it look more like a picture frame with it all ruffled around. The ribbon I bought from Really Reasonable Ribbon and the Flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Makeup 4 the Weekend

This weeks challenge over on Paper Makeup Stamps blog is create some cards for your stash. I used these adorable Beautiful Day Fairies from PMS to make my cards. Click on the photo to see it larger.

Golf, Anyone?

When I saw this patterned paper in this months Card Kit (A must have, by the way ;) ) I just had to pair it up with our cute little Zach the Golfer. This layout is rather simple, but I try to keep things subtle when making masculine cards. I really think this stamp is perfect for the men in your life, I plan to use this for my brother-in-laws birthday.
