Happy Friday!

One of my cards today is a special get well soon wish and was designed using the CAS(E) This Sketch #18 as inspiration.  I love the colors and patterns of this card! :)

My second card today came together using the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches.  I love the pinwheel die and think this card turned out pretty cute! :)

Thank you for visiting... the sun is shining and temps are warming up... making for another paper made pretty day!

To You From Me

Today's card used the new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches and the color challenge at Dynamic Duos

The freedom to use any shape in the sketch allowed me to use my flowerburst embosslit and I love tempting turquoise so I was happy when I saw it was one of the colors in the dynamic duos challenge this week.  The card is simple but I am happy with how it turned out.... especially the added "bling" of the rhinestones for just the right amount of pizzazz! :)

Thanks for visiting today and happy crafting!

Sending Love and Freshly Made Sketches

I love how this card came together... the flower and the colors... just love it!  Thank you Freshly Made Sketches  and Jennifer B from Ladybug Designs (click here to see her blog) for the inspiration today!

I cased the pleated ribbon flower from a video tutorial and several SU! demonstrator projects... LOVE how feminine and pretty it looks against the deep brown. :)  Happy.. happy!

Wishing you all a very happy and love filled Valentine's Day tomorrow!  Thanks for stopping in to see how paper is made pretty with stamps, ink, and inspiration!
