Paper Smooches Card — Thanks Bunches!

This weekend has been a whirlwind of activity for me! So to take my mind off things, I made an adorable card with my Paper Smooches stamps to enter into their card challenge here.

I am in love with Paper Smooches stamps! And this was my first time playing with my new “Friendly Flowers” set. This week’s challenge was inspired by this picture:

So I took the idea of lace, and pink, and flowers and put them all together in my card here:

 I used the Paper Smooches Friendly Flowers for the flower portion, and the Paper Smooches Vegtastic set for the sentiment.

The doilies bring in that lace element and the pink chevron paper is from Me & My Big Ideas.

I used liquid pearls in “Platinum Pearl” on this card. I think these pearls turned out pretty good! That pink ribbon is seam binding (which I love!)

Well, what do you think? Is this a winning card?
I had a great time working on this challenge! There will certainly be more Paper Smooches in my future! See you next time. 🙂

“You can do anything” card

I made this card especially for my daughter. I love how it turned out. In fact, I would love to get a card like this myself! That sunshine/sun rays stamp will probably be one of my favorites.

I made this with mostly all the loot I got from Simon Says Stamp! I LOVE my stamps, and especially when I win them!
Here’s the inside:

Because it was a little grey, I thought the envelope could use some bright colors, so I made her a bright pink envelope. Who wouldn’t love to get this happy envelope in the mail? I purposely made it much bigger than the card so the banner wouldn’t get crushed. There’s definitely plenty of room in there for this card!

Linking up with Simon Says Stamp Challenge. 🙂

And I thought the yellow and grey was perfect for the Runway Inspired challenge, too.

Dose of Sunshine Monday — Life is fun

Happy Monday! It’s a nice long weekend…and I hope you are having fun. Speaking of fun, sometimes it seems that life is NOT fun. To everything there is a season, right? So if you’re not having fun, just wait for a bit for the fun to come back around.

I’m not going to talk too much about this today; my husband is recuperating from a bicycle accident, my daughter is in the hospital. Things are not very fun right now, BUT I’m hopeful and I know that the time will come back around when we are smiling and laughing again.

Enjoy your days and fill them with gratitude, laughter, smiles and love.
