Lately I have been making lots of cards. I love to put them together and I love to send them to people I care about. I also love to enter them into challenges! The latest challenge from Simon Says Stamp is called “Animal Antics” with Lawn Fawn stamps.

So I whipped out my FAVORITE stamp set from Lawn Fawn and another FAVORITE stamp set from Simon Says Stamp and put together this cutie:

I just love those puppies in the “Critters at the Dog Park” set. And this “Happy” set from SSS is perfect for this scene, don’t you think?

That red twine is fun and fuzzy and reminded me of tennis balls…so I thought it would fit right in.

I used some pop dots to give those tennis balls dimension, and also used them on puppy pups there. I like how the dog bones at the top seem to jump right off of the card.

A little Christmas red Stickles on that heart adds the right amount of sparkle. That paper reminded me of wallpaper — I love it!

Wish me luck! I hope your day is HAPPY!

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. 🙂

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.
