THANK YOU

Hello sweet friends! I am seriously trying to wrap my head around the fact that August is here and going FAST! I love the holiday season but really, does it have to keep coming like a freight train? Oh well, lots to do before Christmas!!! For now though, time for some {ink}spiration!!!

It is the first week of our Inkspirational challenge month and that means we've got a color combo for you to be {ink}spired by! 

Here is my DT card:

(A2; Sentiment: Verve (You and I) Tag: Eclectic Anthology; Pearl swirl: ZVA)

I love the tag image from our Sponsor, Eclectic Anthology. The soft, romantic colors fit perfectly with some of my paper scraps. I think I have my sewing machine working properly now, so my stitching looks a little better on this card. Aren’t those champagne colored pearls yummy?

Hope you enjoy! Thanks so much for stopping by! Please be sure to click the link below to go right to the challenge at Inkspirational! I’ll be looking for your creation!!!

YOU LIGHT UP MY LIFE!

Quick post for you this afternoon. This is my second post for today so please scroll down to see what’s up at Technique Time Tuesday in my first post!

(A2; Stamps: Inspired by Stamping (Ahoy, Matey); Die: Sizzlets Circle)

I always think of the lighthouse at Hatteras Island when I think of summer, so I hope that will count for the Addicted to CAS theme. I combined the sketch from CAS(e) This Sketch to create this card. Since I used stamps from IBS, I’m adding this to the Gallery Contest.  It is pretty simple and not much to tell you about it. I hope you like it though!

Happy Birthday

Hi sweet friends! I can’t believe another month is here AND this is the first Tuesday so that means: TECHNIQUE TIME TUESDAY!  YES! A video tutorial of another awesome technique from my very sweet friend, Mynnette!
This month’s technique is Smackin' Acetate Technique and here is my card.

(A2; Paper: MME (Follow your Heart – Be Amazing); Stamps: Inspired by Stamping (Ahoy Matey) Inkadinkado (map);  Border: Paper Smooches; Dies: Spellbinders; Ribbon: Really Reasonable Ribbon)
I used the technique on both the map and the ship. I think it shows up best on the map though. I used Paper Smooches border die that looks like waves of water and then used a small strip of the “negative” at the top of the card. Spellbinders are layered under the map. The ship and sentiment are popped up with foam tape.
To see how to make a card using this technique, go see Mynnette’s video at Technique Time Tuesday. Then make sure to link up your creation so we can all see it!
