Happy Mother's Day

Happy Monday!
I'm back with another super fun challenge over at The Pink Elephant!
This week TPE#146 is to use a Spring Theme, and all you have to do is incorporate an element of SPRING into your card or project and then link back to the TPE blog.

I was on a role this weekend making cards for Mom's Day, so I thought I'd share two of those with you! For both cards I've used the 2011 Anniversary set from Papertrey Ink and paired it with fun papers from My Mind's Eye. Both sentiments are from Amuse and are embossed with powder. The first card includes a button from Basic Grey and twine from PTI, while the second card has a bit of hand stitching and pearls from Kaisercraft.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope that you'll join in on the fun this week over at The Pink Elephant Challenge Blog! Be sure and check out all the amazing inspirations that Ella's Girls have for you!

Happy Birthday

Note Of Thanks

Hi Friends!
Welcome back for another fabulous and fun Thursday over at The Deconstructed Sketch! This week we're at sketch #48 and it's another brilliant one!

As you can see I've given this week's sketch the ole flip-a-roo again to fit the fun bird cage set I've gotten from Amuse Studio. I also used a musical background stamp from Amuse as well, to give these songs birds a melody. I've paired the stamps with papers from My Mind's Eye Miss Caroline Dilly Dally and topped it off with some hand stitching. If you like these sets I've used and/or are interested in finding out more about Amuse Studio, my friend Jeanette is a consultant and would love to hear from you!

16 and Fabulous

Happy Monday!
I'm back with another super fun challenge over at The Pink Elephant!
This week for TPE#143, your challenge is to incorporate FLOWERS. You can use a flowery image, floral paper, background, embellishments, etc...it's up to you!
Create a FLOWER inspired card or project and when you've got it posted to your blog or SCS or wherever you choose, then link back to the TPE blog.

I made this card for a special gal who was faced with some really difficult challenges this year, but by God's grace she has pulled through and is going to be celebrating her Sweet 16! I hope this card will bring a smile to her face.

I've paired Avery with papers from Basic Grey Plumeria, ribbon from Amuse, pearls from Kaisercraft, sentiment from SU and colored her up with Copic Markers.

Home Grown

Happy Monday!
I'm back with another super fun challenge over at The Pink Elephant!
This week for TPE#142, your challenge is CLEAN and SIMPLE. Okay, I'll admit it...I did a slightly more than CAS card, but it was only because our sponsor this week is Market Street Stamps and this set that I got to use was just bringing on so many CUTE ideas!!

BUT I'm sure you'll have a ton of ideas too for creating a CAS card or project and when you've got it posted to your blog or SCS or wherever you choose, then link back to the TPE blog and get entered to win some Market Street Stamps of your very own!!

For my card I've used the Market Street Stamp set, Home Grown and pattern paper from My Mind's Eye Bright Side, as well as Stampin Up Kraft and Groovy Guava cardstock that I've had for ages (sorry, they're retired).

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope that you'll join in on the fun this week over at The Pink Elephant Challenge Blog! Be sure and check out all the amazing inspirations that Ella's Girls have for you!
