Color Cue 15

Hi there!
Wanted to pop in really quick and share the card I created for the Color Cue #15. These aren’t colors I would have ever thought to put together, which was fun. Don’t you love going outside your “comfort zone”?  
 
 
I pulled out the Filigreed Frames and Woodgrain Silhouettes sets for this card- I thought they worked together really well!
Did you notice the patterned paper on the butterflies? Yet another one I recently purchased. :) 
Thanks for stopping by and leaving me some love today! {{hugs}}

Shopping Gals + Warehouse Sale

Hello there, sweet blog friends! 
I have a confession to make…..I recently have been buying patterned papers. Lots and lots of papers. (gasp!) I usually can stay away from them, since I like to stamp my own, but there have been so many cute ones coming out lately! Today I’m featuring a paper line from My Minds Eye: Lime Twist. This particular pack is called Life of the Party. LOVE it! (This was the first time I purchased from i Heart Papers and their service was awesome!)
 I thought this polka dot paper worked really well with the Shopping Gals and Let’s Get Together stamp set by DeNami Design. I had a ton of fun coloring these girls with my Copics. :)
Since we are looking at girls shopping…..do you like to shop for crafty things? Are you in Washington state? If so, I got some GREAT news for you!  DeNami Design is having their second warehouse sale THIS Saturday. There is going to be lots of gently used stamps, cardstocks by the pound, scrapbook papers, markers and ink pads and much, much more.
 
I’m going to be working at the register, so if you go, you’ll get to see me! :) Oh, and did I mention there is going to be tons of GREAT sales? You’ll definitely want to make it out there if you can! 
Thanks for stopping by. I’ll talk with you all later!

Totally Hues Challenge 7

Hello!
Wow, is it Saturday already?! It’s quite sad….I made this card a week ago, and am just now getting to post it. Amazing how a week can go by that quickly! 
This card was based off of Heather’s gorgeous Totally Hues Challenge #7. These colors are so lovely together! 
I pulled out my WPlus9 set, Woodgrain Silhouettes Additions, for the focal image. I just can’t get enough of this stamp! It’s the perfect size, and works for all sorts of cards!
Here you can see I added some Mossy Green rhinestones to the leaf image. It adds a little extra texture and sparkle, which I love. Also, I added some light pink pearls to my butterfly die cut. I tell you, it’s the little things that make a card look complete! 
Hope you enjoyed today’s card. Have a great rest of you day!

Thinking of You Giraffe

 
Hello! 
Today I have a card to share with you all! If you follow the DeNami blog, you may have seen that we are featuring the Giraffe stamp this week. I just adore this little stamp- it’s great for so many occasions. Most may use him (or her) for baby cards, but it’s also great for thinking of you cards. Can you imagine getting this little cutie in the mail? It would definitely bring a smile to my face!
Here’s what I made with the cutie pie:
I recently have been infatuated with all things nautical. It just might have to do with the fact that DeNami released some super cute images. *wink* Anyways, I created a nautical card with these colors, and decided to play with them again for this card.  (You can view my nautical card in these colors on today’s DeNami blog post.)
Here’s the close up of the Giraffes. For the bottom portion of the card, I pulled out the following:
To see more FABULOUS inspiration with this stamp, head on over to the DeNami blog. Also, before I forget, DeNami Design is offering 10% off this stamp THIS WEEK ONLY. No coupon codes needed- it’s all done for you! Be sure to snag up this cutie! 
Well, that’s all for today. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Blooming Tree

Hello, dearies!
It’s been a rough day, so I’m going to keep this fairly short. 
I don’t know about you, but one thing I DO love about Spring- trees and flowers are in full bloom. Granted, that’s why my allergies are in full swing, but the flowers are so beautiful. After being inspired by a card Nami created here, I decided to make my own blooming tree.
Here’s my take:
I adore this color combo- think I should make another card with these colors soon. :) Here’s the DeNami stamps I used on this card:
Simple Tree (must have)
Hope YOU all are having better days. :) Talk with you later! 

Friendly Robot

Hello there! 
I am so bummed. I had wanted to submit this card for the CAS-ual Friday’s challenge, but my darn computer at home has been giving me problems. I can’t log onto the internet and it won’t read photos from my camera! Everything I need to get photos ONTO my blog. Oh well…. 
  
It’s my little brother’s birthday next week, and I thought I’d make him a card featuring the Friendly Robot. It was so fun to come up with words that worked into his personality!

I wish you all could meet my brother- he is such a hoot! He is always making us laugh, and he is a sweetie pie. (Don’t tell him I said that though!) Whenever anyone is sick in our family, he’s always the one to check on them, and offer them food, drinks, etc….
Hope you enjoyed today’s card! Talk with you all soon….

Miss You- Lawn Fawn style

** Click here to view my Mother’s Day card.**
Hey there, blog friends!
Today I have a fun lil miss you card to share with you. I got the Lawn Fawn: Critters in the Forest set a while back, but haven’t gotten to play around with it much. I think this raccoon is super adorable, so I just HAD to create a card with him as the focal point. 
I brought out some patterned paper again for this card. I must say, now I’ve been eying some other cute paper packs. However, I’m going to try to hold off for as long as possible….MUST. STOP. SPENDING. MONEY!
Did you notice the cute rainbow? I used the DeNami Rainbow stamp, which is one of my favorites. It’s so fun to color, and you can use it with tons of different stamps. (Also, right now until Saturday, there is a 10% coupon code. All you need to do is sign up for the InTouch newsletter here!)
If you haven’t hopped along in the DeNami Girlie Girl Blog Hop yet, be sure to do so tonight. Tomorrow we’re announcing the THREE $20 gift certificate winners- you could be one of them!

Girlie Girl Blog Hop

Hello and Happy Mother’s Day! 
I am so excited about the DeNami Blog Hop today! I’m such a girlie girl and I knew eventually I would do a blog hop with this theme. I figured, May (with Mother’s Day) would be the perfect month for it! 
If you started from the beginning of the hop, you should be coming from Pattie Goldman’s blog. If you get lost along the way, you can head back to the DeNami blog for the complete list of participants.
I had originally thought that I was going to do a purses and shoes card, but I saw the Graduation Owl in the drawer and couldn’t help but use it. This stamp is great for both girls and boys- however, it’s always more fun to make cards girlie!
I went to the extremes for this girlie card- I pulled out ribbons, buttons, scallops, glitter, a doily, polka dots AND two shades of pink. Don’t know if it could get any more girlie!
Here’s the list of DeNami stamps I used:
Did you notice the glittery frame? I just colored the frame with my marker for the outline, then used my Quickie Glue Pen and Magenta glitter. (I also added glitter to the cap and diploma)
The next stop on the hop is: Ruby McGuire! Be sure to leave comments on each blog hop stop- we’re giving away two $20 gift certificates to random commenters, so one of them could be YOU! 
Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving some love. Have fun hopping along!

Happy Mother’s Day

Hello there!
I know I’m a day early, but I have my DeNami Girlie Girl Blog Hop post scheduled for tomorrow. I hope you all will come check it out- there will definitely be LOTS of gorgeous girlie cards! 
For today’s post, I have the card that I’m giving to my mom for Mother’s Day. I think I’m safe in posting this- today we have my sister’s bridal shower, and I doubt my mom will get on the computer to see this. :)  
This card features four different stamp companies: DeNami Design, Papertrey Ink, Waltzingmouse Stamps and WPlus9. I’m so pleased with how this turned out- all of the sets work together so well! 
I have to say, I was inspired by Laurie with this card. I stuck with a CAS layout, and I tried adding two Prima flowers for this card. Can you believe I’ve never done that before? Love the look!
Well, I better run and help with the finishing touches of the shower. Thanks for stopping by- I’ll see you again tomorrow morning!

Embellish Squares Color Trends Challenge

Hey there!
It’s been quite a while since I had a chance to play in an Embellish challenge. Somehow the weeks blend and time just slips by. However, I REALLY wanted to make an effort for the Embellish Squares Color Trends Challenge. Seriously, how gorgeous are these colors? So fun!
 
I decided to go super fun and girly on this one. Since the challenge was to incorporate squares, I took it quite literally. There’s a total of 13 squares on this card- can you spot them all? *wink* 
Pulled out some fun DeNami stamps for this one. Here are the stamps I used:
Hope this card brought a smile to you this morning. Thanks so much for stopping by!
