Manly Shirt Pocket Card

Hi Friends!
Happy Monday!

It's a new week and that means it's time for a new challenge over at The Pink Elephant! This week TPE #152 is challenging you to go MANLY. Create a manly bday, Father's Day or any day card and upload to Mr. Linky over at The Pink Elephant.

I've been making a few Father's Day cards lately and I thought I'd share a few with you. For my first card I've used a fabby idea that I found and CASED. This Manly Shirt Pocket card is a complete CASE from Holiday Creations. Check it out HERE. No stamps were used on this card! I think that may be a first for me! A pic below shows how the above card is also a gift card holder.

And my second card is another CASE from this fantastic Original Shirt and Tie card found HERE created for PTI by Nichole herself! I used a set from SU for this one though.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you'll join us over at The Pink Elephant and be sure to check out all the amazing inspiration Ella's Girls have for you today!

Color Inspiration

Hi Friends!
I hope you are having a wonderful Sunday! I just thought I'd pop in with a little card I made recently for the color challenge this month over at Some Odd Girl Stamps!

I have quite the growing stash of these little cuties and I'm working on getting inky with all of them! :)
This sweetie is Sunny Mae and she is paired with papers from My Mind's Eye, Bright Side, flower from Prima, ribbon from Amuse and sentiment from MFT.

Thanks for stopping by today to check out my card! See you tomorrow for a new TPE challenge!

Deconstructed Pony

Hello, Friends! I hope your Thursday is off to a great start!
It's that time again! Are you ready to join in on the fun for Deconstructed Sketch #55?
I hope you'll say yes, because it's another FAB sketch! And this week we're sponsored by a company that's very near and dear to my heart...The Greeting Farm!! One blessed participant with win a TGF stamp of her very own!

For this week's sketch I'm using one of those adorable critters created by artist, Marina Neira for TGF. This is Pinto Pony and I couldn't help getting nostalgic for all those years I played with and collected 'My Little Ponies.' So I couldn't resist coloring up this one with similar dynamic flair! I've paired Pony with papers from My Mind's Eye, ribbon from Amuse Studio, buttons from Basic Grey and sentiment from SU.

I hope that you will join us this week for sketch 55! And be sure to visit all the Sketch Girls to see how they've used this week's sketch. Have a great weekend!

Just For You

Hello, Friends! I hope your Thursday is off to a great start!
It's that time again! Are you ready to join in on the fun for Deconstructed Sketch #53?
I hope you'll say yes, because it's another FAB sketch! I love ALL the sketches, but this one was super fun for me. I think I've decided that there's just something I love about using both circles and rectangles in a layout.

For this week's sketch I'm continuing my renewed love affair with the TGF Creeper Crew ...it's been far toooooo long since I've inked up my Creepers! This is Creeper Tyler and I've paired him with these AWESOME papers that a dear friend of mine sent me for my bday. I also jazzed up my card with buttons from Basic Grey, some dry embossing from my Cuttlebug and diamond Stickles on the face of the bass. Now Tyler's ready to ROCK ON!

I hope that you will join us this week for sketch 53! And be sure to visit all the Sketch Girls to see how they've used this week's sketch. Have a great weekend!

Embrace Happiness

Happy Monday!
I'm back with another super fun challenge over at The Pink Elephant!
This week TPE#149 is called Buttons Galore and I have a craft rooms FULL of buttons, so I could not be more ready! All you have to do is create your card or project and include as many buttons as you'd like, and then link back to the TPE blog.

For my card today I've used a super fun stamp from the Kraftin Kimmie Moonlight Whisper line, called Angie. I've been hoarding a few KK stamps, so when a friend said that they were some of her favorites, I was excited to get this one out and inked up! I chose the "embrace happiness" sentiment from PTI, because, really, when isn't a cup of coffee pure morning bliss? :)
The papers I've used for this fun card are from My Mind's Eye and the buttons are from Basic Grey.

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!
