TPE Wedding/Anniversary



Hi Friends!
Happy Monday!
I'm back with today's challenge #219 over at The Pink Elephant and this week it's time to create a WEDDING or ANNIVERSARY card or project. All you have to do is create something wedding or anniversary inspired and submit your link on the TPE BLOG.

I'm sharing 2 cards with you today. The first is an anniversary card that I created for my friend, April's swap month in our Sisterhood group. It's made with papers from Basic Grey Nook & Pantry, heat embossed SU sentiment and ribbon, and flower from Prima.
And the second, was a card I made for some dear friends of ours wedding (and even share the same wedding anniversary as my husband and I). It's made with paper from DCWV, nesties, SU sentiment, hand stitching and flower from Prima.

Thank you so much for popping by! Be sure to check out the inspiration from all of Ella's Girls over at TPE!!

You Capture My Heart



Hi Friends!
I hope you're having a wonderful Thursday!

I've got another fun card for you using this week's Deconstructed Sketch #120!

I'm making the long drive home from Disney today and soon to be back in Seattle. I have lots of pictures though to keep the memories fresh in my mind!
I couldn't help but think of sight-seeing and travel when I was creating my card for this week. So I chose to use this fun New York Josh stamp from Sparkle Creations and pair him with papers from My Mind's Eye.

I hope you'll play along with us! Be sure to check out the fabulous creations of the other Deconstructed Sketch Girls!
See you back here next week for Sketch 121!

Globetrotting with DDD

Hi Friends!
Happy 15th of the month! It's time for another duel between the Dueling Darling Divas and Dazzlers!

This month April and I were hostesses and we thought it was a great chance to travel the globe and play with some stamps that highlight different countries! We also asked that each of the Darlings either add something from her own heritage to her card or share about her heritage in her post.

For my card I've used another fun stamp from the Moonlight Whisper line at Kraftin Kimmie stamps, called Felina (from Mexico) and paired her with papers and button from Basic Grey Carte Postale and ribbon from Stampin Up.

While my heritage is Italian and many of my families traditions are based in our Italian roots (mostly around food!), I did take 3 years of Spanish and spent some time in Mexico.

I've also entered this card in the challenge this week over at the Kraftin Kimmie Blog, because it's ANYTHING GOES!

Be sure to check out what all of the Divas and Dazzlers have for you today and THANKS for popping by!

Happy Fall



Hi Friends!
I hope you're having a wonderful Thursday!

I've got another fun card for you using this week's Deconstructed Sketch #118! This one I flipped upside down. :)

For my card I've used another stamp from the Moonlight Whisper line at Kraftin Kimmie Stamps. Okay, I know, I know...it's Canada, but I didn't color the shirt red and white because I didn't want to be that literal and I wanted to have some contrast against the white background. It's not that I don't love my friends to the North--of course I do! xoxo. I've paired this Lovely with papers from Authentique, ribbon and jewels from Kaisercraft and sentiment from Amy R for All That Scraps.

I've also created this cutie to fit this week's FALL FUN challenge over at the Kraftin Kimmie Blog!

Thank you so much for popping by!

Hiya!



Hi Friends!
I hope you're having a wonderful Thursday!

I've got another fun card for you using this week's Deconstructed Sketch #117! This one I've flipped 180 degrees to fit a little better with my stamp and sentiment idea. :)

For my card I've used another fun stamp from over at Kraftin Kimmie Stamps. This is one of Cheryl Alger's Lulu stamps, called Lulu on the Move. I've paired this little hula hooper with papers and stickers from Echo Park Paper, button from Basic Grey and ribbon from SU. I know I kept it super CAS this week, but that's how this fun sketch was calling to me! :)

Thank you so much for popping by!
