Chalkboard Technique

Hi Friends!
Happy Monday!

I'm back with today's challenge #244 over at The Pink Elephant and this week it's time for a TECHNIQUE CHALLENGE. All you have to do is create a card or project using the chalkboard technique and submit it to the link on the TPE BLOG.

This was the first time I have tried this technique and I really like it! There's a couple different ways you can do it, but I chose to use white emboss powder for my stamp and for the "chalk" on my black cardstock "board."

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

I Heart Plaid

Hi Friends!
Happy Monday!

I'm back with today's challenge #243 over at The Pink Elephant and this week it's time for a COLOR CHALLENGE. All you have to do is create a card or project using YOUR FAVORITE COLOR COMBO and submit it to the link on the TPE BLOG.

My favorite color combo usually involves some teal/turquoise color and I am ALWAYS drawn to plaid of any color, so I decided to include that too. For my card I've used this cutie pie new stamp from By LORi Designs, called Fancy Girl and paired her with papers from Basic Grey Olivia.

Hello and welcome to another installment of the Dueling Darlings!

This month our hostess for the Divas is Laura Jean and she sent us this super fun kit filled with one of my fave Unity stamps and papers from Cosmo Cricket. She also sent a super cool little folder that I decided to use for my actual card.

It seems I didn't receive any instructions for this month's challenge, so I just flew by the seat of my pants :) Hope I did this kit and LJ proud!

Thanks so much to LJ and Terry for hosting this month!! Check out what all the rest of the Darlings have created for this Duel!

Things Are Looking Green

Hi Friends!
Hope you had a great weekend!

I'm here with today's challenge #241 over at The Pink Elephant. This week it's time for a PHOTO INSPIRATION! All you have to do is use the below photo as inspiration for your card or project and submit your link on the TPE BLOG.

For my card, I kept it pretty simple. I used this cutie pie stamp from The Greeting Farm, a sheet of gingham paper from Amuse Studio, sentiment from SU, ribbons from Papertrey Ink and pearls from Kaisercraft.

Happy Birthday

Hello Friends!

It's Thursday and that means it's time for Deconstructed Sketch #141!

For my card I decided to play with the layout a bit and added a giant layered flower in place of a panel so that I could have the sentiment off to the side but still something fun as the focal point (sans colored image). :)

Please hop along to the Sketch Girls and hopefully you'll be inspired to play along! See ya next week for something special!
