YOU MAKE MY WORLD HAPPY

Hi sweet friends! Welcome to some End of the Week Encouragement for challenge #21 at Inkspirational. We are seeing some beautiful creations, so jump right in and get yours linked up! You have until Tuesday at 6pm CST to show us your creativity!

This week we have a SKETCH challenge for you and here is my DT card.

The instant I saw the sketch (below) I knew exactly what I was going to do. I recently purchased the Grateful Lattice die from Spellbinders.  Once the lattice is cut, these little pieces are left over. I love the shape and was looking for a card to use them on. This was the ONE! I added a square score around the focal point, flowers from and a sentiment from Inspired by stamping. I used three colors of ink on the stamp to match the colors in the paper.

YOU ARE MY REASON WHY

Hi sweet friends! Welcome to some End of the Week Encouragement for challenge #20 at Inkspirational. We are seeing some beautiful creations, so jump right in and get yours linked up! You have until Tuesday at 6pm CST to show us your creativity!

This week we have a CASE challenge for you with a gorgeous card by Lee Conrey (card below) and here is my DT card.

I decided to make the focal panel smaller but tried to stay with the same colors. I colored my stamp with markers just as Lee did, then spritzed with a little water and stamped. I changed the sentiment stamped it in the same place and added the row of pearls under it. Instead of rounding the two bottom corners, I rounded one on the bottom and one on the top.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MYNNETTE!

Surprise! Today is my good friend Mynnette Kitchen’s birthday and we are having NOT ONE, BUT TWO  Blog Hops to celebrate!
One blog hop starts at Technique Time Tuesday and the other at Inkspirational!!! There are prizes too! I’ll give you all the deets on the blog hops after we see Mynnette’s card!

For the Technique Time Tuesday blog hop we each chose our favorite technique for this year. I loved the Dahlia Fold that is our May technique, so I chose it. For the Inkspirational blog hop we CASEd one of Mynnette’s cards. The one I chose is shown below.

And, this is the inside of my card.

I used the overall layout of Mynnette’s card but used a different embossing folder and instead of three butterflies, I used one larger one. I also added my sentiment on the face of the card.
OK. If you started either at Inkspirational or Technique Time Tuesday, it all comes together here on my blog. Both of the links for each hop is below:
Oh yes a blog hop with birthday cards for Mynnette and, of course, BLOG CANDY!
