cQc #232 ~ Thank You!

Hi there! Ready for another challenge at the ColourQ? Arielle has thrown a little twist into the palette this week and I think you're going to love it! Black, Kraft , Lucky Limeade & Newsprint! Yep that's right one of your "colors" is newsprint, fun huh!

I pulled a couple of MME papers to get things rolling for my card. I'm smitten with this sweet floral and wanted to let as much of it show as possible. My newsprint, also containing the striped banner and fancy oval label, is layered over it. I topped the existing banner with a hand cut sentiment (PTI) banner. A leaf sprig (PTI:turning a new leaf) stamped in Versamark ink was tucked in along with some Top Dog Die flourishes.

And there you have it! Now hurry yourselves along to create your entry! Can't wait to see what's in the gallery this week. You all continue to blow us away and make the voting very difficult!! ~Lisa

Precious Remembrance ~ Design it Monday!

Guesting at The Shabby Tea Room!

 

Hey there! Here we are again at the beginning of a new week. This one is especially fun for me. I am guest designing this week at The Shabby Tea Room! The new challenge, beginning today, is to use baby blue, birds and flowers. Sounds like spring to me!

I have had a tin of Cavallini and Company bird stickers for what seems like an eternity. This was the perfect occasion to use one. It's placed upon a paper lace doily that was topped with a very soft blue PTI doily die cut and some PS seam binding. I stamped this adorable bouquet of forget-me-nots by IO, colored and trimmed them out. They're added to my card with foam tape and adorned with baby blue gems. The pretty little branch with the tiny bird's nest is also from IO. I attached the blessed tag (from my stash) with a vintage safety pin to add a bit more shabbiness!

I hope you can find some time to join in at The Shabby Tea Room. You might just be their next guest designer! Please link your creations by Sunday, March 16th to play along. Winner and Tea Time Terrific Top Three will be announced Monday, March 17th.

Thanks so much for stopping by today ~Lisa

DeNami March Blog Hop!

Hi there friends! Today is DeNami blog hop day. Come join the fun and hop along with us as we feature {Fuzzy Friends}. I'm kicking things off today as the first stop on the hop, so let's get this party started!! Oh yeah one more thing...DeNami is turning 25 whoohoo!!!  A BIG congrats to all at DeNami Design!!!

I've had the new happy monster with balloon stamp since January and have yet to ink the adorable fuzzball up. I know sad right. But today this cute little fella gets his chance to shine!

I stamped him on a tag then traced the tag on orange cardstock to create another for layering. The bottom tag is covered with the teeny star background and holds my happy birthday sentiment. The white card base is embossed with the ABCs folder. Next I added orange stripes Washi and teal Washi (from my stash). The tags were attached, adorned with Pretty Pink Posh Shop ribbon and orange twine. A sprinkling of crystal clear sequins from the PPPS really gave this card some pizazz!!

Muse Challenge #57 ~ Happy Spring!

A happy Friday to all from a sunny Ohio! What a pretty day we have. Blue skies, sunshine and 46 toasty degrees! I never thought I would be happy with temps in the forties, but it's much better than what we have had! After a nice long refreshing walk with Max, I took some time to make a card. This one is for the latest Muse challenge. 

  Vicki Dutcher is the Muse this week.

This is her pretty card!

 My spring take on her card...

I've had a few papers from a Dear Lizzy 6x6 hanging around for awhile, so I put them to good use. This sweet mix of sequins is from the Sprintime Mix available at the Pretty Pink Posh Shop. The sequins in the package are the prettiest shades of soft aqua, light buttery yellow, minty green and peony pink. There are also a few larger pearl white flower sequins included. 

That's it for me today. 

I hope you have some sunshine in your neck of the woods! ~Lisa

Hey there peeps! We have a spring green color palette at the ColourQ this week. My first thought was to do something for St. Patrick's Day, but completely changed my mind when I came across this cute stamp! I bought it at the convention last year and it has now officially been inked up twice ~ HA! Why is it that we stampers do this? 

Weeeee ~ isn't this a fun image!!! A bunny rabbit driving a topiary VW, who thinks these things up? Somebody at Art Gone Wild that's who! I am SO happy with the way this card turned out. It oozes spring with the bright green don'tcha think. This embossing folder (Lifestyle Crafts) is one of my favorites with it's curly loopy design. I think it goes perfectly with this whimsical image. This was a quick card with layered Spellbinders 10 die cuts and a few flower gems. 

Stop by the ColourQ blog to see what the Royal Court has created. We hope you play along this week. The entry deadline is Monday, March 3rd at 12 midnight CST, to be considered for colourQueen! Have a delightful day ~ Lisa
