I decided to create clippies. Black grosgrain ribbon was shaped into bows, then topped with layers of fabric flower shapes & finished with a fun lady bug.

Clear It Out Challenge #13: Anything Goes With Black, Orange & Purple

Clear It Out Challenges offers up a challenge that lasts for two weeks, so here is a little inspiration midway through if you haven't already joined in the fun!

Bugaboo is our sponsor and I had so much fun using this digital stamp from their collections.

These spooky & hot shoes would be perfect for Halloween, don't you think? Of course, you couldn't be scared of spiders to wear them, though - Ha!

{PIN}spirational Challenge #27: Photo - Deer In The Forest

Happy Tuesday! It's a new challenge at {PIN}spirational Challenges. As always, we share a photo for you to be inspired by. See below for what it is.

I was inspired by the deer (obviously - Ha!) and the yellow colors.

Our sponsor Squigglefly offers the perfect digital stamp for this challenge and I was lucky enough to be able to use it.

A Mini Christmas Wreath

Christmas will be coming soon. Yeah, there is still months until than, but it's always good to get started on the holiday cardmaking.

This is a mini wreath that I made by hand before adding ribbon, gold stars & twine.

Have you started your holiday cards yet? Do you make them early or wait until the last minute?

{PIN}spirational Challenge #22: Photo Inspiration - Mermaid





Join us at {PIN}spirational Challenges for lovely, whimsical fun! Every week a new photo from Pinterest is used for inspiration. This week is this adorable little mermaid. Although, the photo appears quite simple and to the point, there are lots of different ways you can go about it.

What do you see that inspires you? Whatever it is, I'd love for you to share it with us at {PIN}spirational Challenges!





Our sponsor is Michelle Perkett, who was very generous to provide the digital stamp that I used in this creation.

Her mermaid is gorgeous, whimsical & just wonderful to work with!

Album Swap: Spoiler Alert For Lady Anne




I am a part of a fabulous Ning group called Lady Anne's Paper Crafts. It's a fun place to join in challenges along with swaps.

This album was created just for Lady Anne for an album swap. In return, she is sending me an album that she created, which I will share with you when I receive it (of course.)

It's my very first swap of any kind. I'm super excited!



I have SO much purple that I decided this album would feature that royal color. The pages have places where Lady Anne can add her own photos. It can be tied closed with grosgrain ribbon.

Also, if she wants to add more pages, she can do so quite easily.
This album was submitted to these challenges. See below for details, so you can share, too!

Want A Cup Of Tea?



When I was creating my project for Tuesday Alchemy, I printed out two of this adorable digital stamp from our sponsor, The Greeting Farm.

I had planned on cutting different pieces of one image to place on top of the other image to create more depth. However, I only used the hat, so I decided to create my own hat. It's a smart little thing with a large bow & birdcage veil.

My first creation can be seen here, which was used as inspiration for Tuesday Alchemy's 21st challenge.

They are similar in color scheme, but I used different styles to create similar yet different looks.

Anything Goes: #70 - Polka Dot Birthday
Bearly Mine: #42 - Ribbon & Bows

And just for fun, here are a few of my purple creations that I offer at the shop, Pin & Tack.

Cupcake Craft 198: Put A Bird On it!

Oohh . . . I am a little sad to create this post. Why? Well, it's my last week for being a guest designer for Cupcake Craft Challenges. It was a lot of fun & they had wonderful challenges. I will definitely miss being a cupcake! Thank you, everyone, as I felt most welcome & throughly enjoyed my time with the team :)

Ok, so let's get to business . . . This week it is all about the bird. Put a bird on your creation & share it with us over at Cupcake Craft Challenges. There are always fantastic prizes & if you need more inspiration, check out my fellow team members creations, too!

Originally, I was going to fussy cut around this big, glittered flower. It was on a thorny stem & was so pretty. It was too big for the card, though. I went a little crazy & decided to deconstruct it, then place just the bloom on my card.

The birds are sitting on curly branches on the background. It's beautiful cardstock that I embossed with the design.

The "love" was cut from the same cardstock as the flower. Overall, it's very sweet & soft.

Happiness!

Posies In A Vase

Here is a quick & easy way to create a "vase": Cut the ends off of an oval. Yep, that's all it takes :)



I used the same flowers from the card below, but I changed it up for a completely different look & new creation.

Sparkle, Bloom & Bow

It is just not very cheery today. Rain, rain, rain! The local weather girl says it's "light showers" - Ha! Everything is soaked & it hasn't let up since I awoke this morning.
