Just a Reminder for this weeks Cupcake Inspirations Challenge

 Hello Friends!!! Happy July 4th!!!

Today I am popping in with a reminder for this weeks Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #547. The theme is "Oh My Stars."

Below is this weeks Cupcake Inspirations Challenge Badge.

Once again I did not use the traditional red, white and blue on my card. I went with a beach theme. I used the image from "Summer Circles" by Pretty Pink Posh, which I colored in using Copic Markers. 

The star fish border was stamped in pink using the Seas and Greetings stamps from Simon Says Stamps. The die cut starfish is from a Hero Arts die set and the sentiment is from a Concord and 9th stamp set.

Once again, I LOVE how this card came out!!! It is a simple design but was fun to create. 

I hope that you join us this week at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge. It is always so fun to see what you create. 

I thank you for taking the time to stop by today. Have a FABULOUS 4th of July!!

Rainbow Card Challenge #7

Happy Tuesday!!

Just popping in with a card I created yesterday and today.

The first card was inspired by the photo badge for the Rainbow Card Challenge #7. This is a new to me challenge and I am excited to enter it.

I used the Butterfly Turnabout from Concord and 9th and the Daphne butterfly die from Poppy Stamps.

Here is the inspiration card:

I was mainly inspired by the blue butterfly and some hues of blues.

I did not use the turn about stamp in the way it was supposed to but masked each off and used the different blues on each butterfly.

The thanks is a retired CAS-ual Fridays Stamps die.

I loved how this came out and will be sending this to my cousin.

That is all from me today. Thanks for stopping by and have a FABULOUS night!

Freshly Made Sketches

Hi everyone!! I hope you are all doing well!! I have been terribly busy lately, visiting my daughter at college, visiting my Aunt and going to funerals. I have had time in my craft room BUT no time to blog much.

Today I am sharing a card I created using Freshly Made Sketches #361 as my inspiration.

It is a bit colorful but I the yellow card stock matched the yellow flower exactly and so I decided to use it for the background.

The stamp set is from Concord and 9th. I originally bought it to make my daughter some monogrammed notecards but that goal didn't last too long.

Here is the sketch that I was inspired by:

I actually dug out some Doodlebug paper Frills that I have had for YEARS for the scalloped border. I have them in about every color so it was kind of fun to dig them out and put them on a card.

That is all from me today!! I hope you are all having a FABULOUS weekend!!
