Pretty Poppies


Trigger Tuesday Moxie Fab World
A Plate of Pretty Poppies
Yeah!! Tuesday Trigger is back and running! So I look what inspired this card. I stamped these silhouette poppies with Pure Poppy Ink then the stems in Simply Chartreuse (all Papertrey Ink). I loved the colors from the flowers and plate. I used the scalloped circles around my design as seen on the plate.

More Wag


Less is More Challenge

The inspiration theme is Less is More! This stamp came to mind because it always make me smile but now I am using it...that is a good way. I decided to stretch the dog stamp and put the sentiment in the middle then outlined/ dembossed it with a nestability. To enhance the wag I let him have a bone and made a wiggle with two small apostrophe's. I have feeling what the DH will say when he sees this card:)

Lets Chat


Embellish Blog
Telephone Color Trends Challenge
I loved these nice summerery colors, such an inspiration photo. Went with the phone die cut and added the colors behind, then popped up the 'window'. The sentiment is from Paper Smooches stamps Vogue Abode.

Party Cupcake



Paper Smooches Sparks Photo Challenge Week
A Big Vanilla Cupcake
There is a local bakery in our area called Vanilla Moon, this shot reminded of that...yum!
Took out some of Paper Smoohes Stamps and went for it! I put the cupcake from Yummers set and placed on the cake stand from the Hubby and Wifey Set. My cupcake is all paper pieced from the Basic Gray collection Life of the party.Tthe background paper is from same line of paper but from the 12x 12 paper pack, I wanted to see larger banners. There is Diamond Glaze on the sentiment and candle for some added sparkle.
