Totally Hues Challenge #3

Hi! I'm here today to share the card I made for Heather P.'s latest Totally Hues Challenge! I am LOVING these color challenges- they really make me step out of my comfort zone and have some fun!

Here is the challenge:

And here is my card:

I LOVE the way this turned out! I pulled out my Paper Smooches Pretty Sentiments stamp set for this one and used one of my favorite background stamps, Market Street Stamps Bit of Burlap. I stamped the background with Summer Sunrise, the card base is Orange Zest, the scallop border and notebook pattern (from PTI's Library Ledger set) are Aqua Mist, and the gorgeous satin ribbon is Hawaiian Shores!

Also, how do ya like the new blog design!? I LOVE it- a much needed improvement around here... lol... Erin over at Designer Blogs hooked it up for me- if you stop by, let her know I sent ya!

One more thing before I go- I'm going to be absent the rest of the week! I'm super busy with school, family, and some creative deadlines coming up, but I will see you on Monday with a Market Street Stamps sneak peek (MARCH RELEASE AVAILABLE MARCH 26th!) and some super fun stuff to announce late next week!

Thanks for stopping by today! Have a great one!

Paper Smooches.... love.....

Hey guys! I know it's been a while.... sorry about that! It turns out that when your son turns 3, you go on a weekend trip, your hubby is off all week, and you're swamped with school work you don't have much time for making stuff and blogging. Again, very sorry I've been absent...

I wanted to stop in real quick before picking Aden up from school to show you this card I made today with some Paper Smooches goodness:

Love these large sentiments from the Pretty Phrases set... love em to death. I've paired this lovely sentiment with some PTI Sweet Symhony patterned paper... another LOVE... and a sweet chocolate brown satin bow. Love the way this one turned out- hope all of you do to!

Thanks so so much for stopping by today! I'm off to pick up Aden at school and get ready for his very first soccer practice! YAY!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Hi, guys! I hope you all are having a fabulous Valentine's Day! I just wanted to pop in real quick and show you the Valentine's I made for my son, Aden, to give to all his friends at Pre-K! I used Paper Smooches stamps by Kim Hughes called Falling For You! They came out super cute!

Here is the group of them all together! I got lucky because there are only 17 kids in his class and I had a ton of fun coloring all the cute images with my Copics.

Love Monster!

Batty In Love!



Nutty For You!

Cards for his teachers: LOVE YOU TO MY CORE! SOOO CUTE!

Thanks for stopping by to take a look today! I hope you have a great Valentine's Day!

Totally Hues Challenge #1

Hey, guys! How is your Monday treating you? Mine is quiet... lol! Aden's in school, Austin's hanging out watching some toons, and I finally get to post some cards I made for Heather P.'s new color challenge! Can I tell you how excited I was to see Heather P. on the new Paper Smooches Design Team? And then to see her starting a new challenge? Super excited! I love her style and get a ton of inspiration from her work!

Here's the challenge in case ya missed it:

The first card I made is using My Cute Stamps. These super cute images are from the Little Forest Friends set. LOVE THAT OWL! Can't get enough. Did you see the new stamps over there- super cute! Mustaches... gonna be so cute on some super fun scrapbook layouts, I'm sure!

And then I got my Paper Smooches stamps in the mail.... I couldn't resist people... I made another card for this challenge... lol! I've been very "pop art-y" lately- probably a phase, but anyway, I'm diggin' it! Here's my card with the super sweet acorn from the Falling For You set! Trust me when I say that you will be seeing much more Paper Smooches on my blog very soon!

LOVED the challenge, Heather! Thanks for making me come out of my **neutral** comfort zone!
