Hello and happy Monday!  I hope you had a wonderful Easter!  I have a card to share with you today using one of the newly released Your Next Stamp images called Home Tweet Home.  Love it!  I've always been drawn to birdhouses, and I really love the modern feel that this one has. The dp is some fab Echo Park Paper Co. For the Record and I used last week's Mojo Monday #187 sketch for the layout.

Hello!  This is the card I have on the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog today.  I have been wanting to ink up this adorable image from Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps called Celebrating Chloe. Isn't she so cute? I found some fun, colorful papers in my stash~a combination of Echo Park Paper Co. Little Girl and Cosmo Cricket Cherry Hill. This Satin/Grosgrain Double Band Celery Ribbon from May Arts goes perfectly with my colors and I tied my handmade buttons with some Orange Baker's Twine.  

 This is also for this week's Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps Challenge #39~Make Your Own Handmade Embellishment. I made the buttons using my PTI Button Die, and some dp. 


I hope you have a wonderful Easter tomorrow! We're off to an egg hunt this morning so the kids are really excited:) Thank you so much for stopping by and have a wonderful Saturday!

PaperWorks Co. New Release Blog Hop!

Click HERE to enter my Blog Candy!

Hello and happy Good Friday!  Today we are introducing a new artist to the PaperWorks Co. family~Heidi Schwoerer!  Heidi is the illustrator behind 2 Cute Rubber Stamps and Peggy is releasing 6 of her adorable images today as part of the Cutie Patootie Collection:)  Hopefully you arrived here from Steph J's awesome blog, but if not, and you'd like to participate in the hop, then start at the beginning which is Peggy's fab blog


For my first project, I used this ADORABLE image called Frisbee!  I had so much fun coloring him, because I gave him a few spots with my Copics:)  The dp is Echo Park Paper Co. Little Boy which you can get at the PWCO Store HERE.  I used a sentiment from the Verve set Thankful Hearts, some 5/8" Navy with White Stitches Ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon, and loosely used this week's SCS Sketch Challenge #329  for my layout. 



For my second project, I made a little gift tag using this super sweet image called Batter's Up!  I used some Echo Park Paper Co. Little Boy dp once again, and computer generated the sentiment.  I cut out the tag with the PTI Tag Sale #1 Die. 

Now it's time to hop on over to the PaperWorks Co. Blog, but make sure you leave comments along the way, because 6 random commenters will each receive a new release stamp!!!  Here is the hop list in case you get lost:

Whoo Loves You?

3:20 PM 9 Comments
Click HERE to enter my Blog Candy!


Hello!  I should have had this posted yesterday, but it just never happened!  This is a BUSY week for some reason!  Anyway, this week's Recipe Tuesday on the PaperWorks Co. Blog is one that is totally outside my comfort zone:

1) CAS-I do these on occasion
2) Sentiment as the focal point, what?! 

I immediately headed over to the Clean & Simple Blog and found Fall To Layout #136~Perfect!  I used a sentiment from the PWCO/RAM set Whoo Loves You?, punched it out with a SU punch (can't think of the name) and layered it on top of a PTI Fillable Frames #10 die cut shape.  I also embossed the Fillable Frame with the PTI Woodgrain Impression Plate.  The dp is some Bo Bunny Love Bandit which you can find at the PWCO store HERE

For the inside, I computer generated a sentiment and stamped the owl image from Whoo Loves You? with SU Baja Breeze.  I like how it turned out:) 

PWCO has a new release planned for Friday, and we have another new artist!  These images are super cute, so I can't wait to show you my projects:)  Thank you so much for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your Wednesday!
