You're My True Love

Hello There!  This evening I have a card to using Table Scraps for Mojo Monday Sketch #491.

Garden View

I created a layout using wonderful digital papers from We Are 3 - Nature Blends, Burlap Beach, and Pastel Burlap.  The design is inspired by Sketch #206 at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenges.

  

It's Spring!

Hi, Friends

Today I'm sharing an Easter Card - clean and simple.  I used images from Purple Frogs Clipart and paper from Paper Studio (The Shoppe on the Square Collection).  Sharing in Angie's Digital Stamps Challenge #8.

Easter Card

Hi, Everyone

Today I'm sharing an Easter card I made with papers and images from We Are 3.  I used paper from the Floral Expressions Collection and Pastel Burlap Collection - the image is from Bunny Accessories.

            

My Adobe Photoshop died last week (or my computer killed it - verdict still out).  Since I've been using Gimp.  I used it several years ago to teach digital scrapbooking, but with updates, it's been a bit of a learning curve.  This is the first image I had time to really play with - and I'm very happy with the results.  Saving some pennies - GIMP it is for my preferred photo editor!  For those of you who want to play - GIMP is free!

Creatalicious Challenge #112

Hi, Friends

Today I'm sharing a card I made with the Petite Poinsettia collections from Heartfelt Creations . . . inspired by Challenge #112 at Creatalicious Challenges - Anything Goes with Flowers.

Make Gorgeous Cards with Table Scraps

I really need to check dates on challenges!!!  LOL!  Made this for a "green challenge" that is closed.  But another Christmas card made!

Be Joyful Easter Card with We Are 3 April Releases

I am having such fun with the new releases from We Are 3 - and I hope you enjoy viewing our new releases and samples, too.  You can see all the Design Team samples at the We Are 3 Facebook Page.  My first design uses Spring Letters, Pastel Burlap, and Joyful Bunny (Precolored! Also available in black and white).  I layered my bunny for a 3D look.  Note:  YOU MUST SEE THE SPRING LETTERS digital paper collection.

          

Paper Ala Mode - Anything Goes

This week the Paper Ala Mode Challenge at The Outlawz is Anything Goes.  Check out the Design Team samples - there are some great cards.  Who wants to play?  Make sure to enter today!  The sponsor is Angie's Digital Stamps - I'm using Daisy Mae with Chocolate Chip.  The Sweet sentiment is from Miss Kate Cuttables (Girl Words Set).  Daisy Mae's dress is paper pieced with the Inspirational digital paper collection.

Enjoy the Little Things

For today's layout, I used the fun, bright papers Spongebob and Patrick (Below Blink) and some Table Scraps from Back to Basics (We Are 3.)  These papers are digital - it's so convenient to print just what you need.  Your can see they are nice and bright.  For this design, I kept the layout a bit more are than I usually do - have to admit, not having to search for the perfect embellishments saves time!

A Bouquet of Chocolates

Hello, Friends!  A new project from We Are 3 - a little inspiration using one of my favorite collections from the March Release - Hearts in Love.  To create a treat cone, I used "Bouquet," cutting half circles to create the cone.  I then cut a rosette out of  "Dependable."  I accented the rosettes with leaves from the Romantic Garden Collection.  Lastly, I embellished to rosettes with golden gems . . . and filled them with chocolate for visiting relatives.

Romantic Garden - Hearts in Love

Have you been busy making any Easter cards?  I used Romantic Garden and Hearts in Love by We Are 3 to make this quick-and-easy card.  Not only is it springy, but it would be a great card for birthday, wedding, Mother's Day and so many other occasions. For the flowers and leaves, I used a free digi kit by Digital Crea - One Day.

                     

Outlawz Inspiration

Who doesn't love a fun sketch?   The Outlawz had one that was a little different last week - enjoyed making this card using Table Scraps.

We Are 3 Christmas Card

Although I now live in the desert, there's still that strong connectin between snow and Christmas.  It even amuses me when I see desert natives thinking of snow as a symbol for Christmas.  For this Christmas card, I was inspired by the Color Challenge at The Outlawz - specifically using the Kerst Christmas Collection with a type of stained-glass design.  The wonderful background Toasty Warm from We Are 3 - may be difficult to see in my photo, but it has a knitted pattern - Toasty Warm!

      

A Sympathy Card with Stars and Stripes

Creativity is contagious - and I generally get my inspiration from others.  Usually when I CASE a card, it's difficult to even be able to tell - however, this time I will admit I absolutely was so inspired by another that I pretty much copied it down to the centimeter!  I was in desperate need for a patriotic sympathy card.  A Google search displayed one card that stopped me dead in my tracks....it's link led me to Pinterest....Pinterest led me to Splitcoast Stampers.  I searched galleries of Splitcoast Stampers desperately looking for the original artist - to both compliment her and ask permission to CASE - no luck.  So if you happen to know the person who so inspired me, I sure would like to know as although this is a simple card - I just would not have come up with this design myself.  Thanks to that wonderful cardmaker for sharing perfect inspiration and a gorgeous card with me.

Wedding Layout with Discover Family Digital Papers

Now that I've finally begun our wedding album, I'm enjoying creating layouts.  My dress was custom designed and this layout shows it in various stages.
