Hi Friends!
I hope your Tuesday is off to a great start!
I'm back with another fun card for By LORi Designs! Did you spy all of those fun new digi stamps in the store?? LORi has created another FAB release for you, filled with cutie pie PJ's, Lollipops and Sugar sticks!

For my card I decided to go with a very CAS layout. I've been loving white on white lately, with a splash of color. I've also been trying to utilize my Scor-pal more too! So, there's a bit of scoring around the edges. The stamp is Sugar stick--I'm One--Boy, the papers are My Mind's Eye Lime Twist, the button is Basic Grey, the ribbon is SU and I tried for a bit or irony by using that PTI sentiment. :)

I really like how it turned out and I hope you like it too!

Hello, Friends!
It's time for another fun challenge over at Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps! This week SCRS #63 is another super fun color challenge! All you have to do is create a card or project, using your choice of SCRS stamp and use the colors BLACK, BLUE and ORANGE! I must have had my radar on last week, because my Witchy Millie card fit this challenge to a tee! But this is such a fun color combo, I just had to color up something new for you this week too!

For my card I've used SCRS Bicycle Chloe and paired her with those super fun My Mind's Eye Mischievous papers again. And for some added flare, I've also used ribbon from SU (I promise this is more matchy matchy in real life--the pic doesn't do it justice), clasp from Making Memories, button from Basic Grey, flowers from Kaisercraft, and a touch of my hand stitching. Oh and the sentiment is from PTI.

We'd love for you to play along in this week's challenge! One challenge participant will win a stamp from SCRS! Be sure to pop over to the Sparkle Creations Blog and check out all the colorful inspiration!! Thanks for stopping by and have a GREAT Tuesday!!

For my card, I pulled out this adorable TrickorTreat Stamping Bella that has patiently been waiting to be used since I purchased her (cause I just HAD to have her) last year. :)
I paired TrickorTreat Bella with my version of the Mojo Monday sketch 207 and papers from My Mind's Eye "Boo to You" collection.

I LOVE Thursdays! It's the day that I get to share another fun Deconstructed Sketch with you!

For my card I've used Logan, the newest Wild Sprout from The Greeting Farm and paired him with My Mind's Eye 'Lost and Found: Breeze' papers. And then just for a little flare, I added twine and a Basic Grey button (it's there, I promise, it's just clear!), as well as a bit of distressing.

Witchy Prue

Please scroll down for my Sparkle Creations post or click HERE. Thanks!

Hi Friends!
I hope your Tuesday is off to a great start!
I'm back with another fun project for By LORi Designs! As if you weren't filled to the brim with inspiration from the BIG BDAY BASH over the weekend, now we have some Halloween-y projects for you!

For my project I decided to used a diaper fold to create a little treat basket. These little holders are so perfect if you're looking to give just a little something something on any occasion.

I've decorated my basket with one of the newest additions to the BLD digi family--it's Puddle Jumper Witchy Prue! And she is accompanied with paper from My Mind's Eye (Boo To You collection), Ribbon from Amuse, Buttons from Basic Grey (Eerie) and a couple of Brads (Making Memories).

It's such a fun and easy project. I hope you like it!
