Wow! Two Post in one day! Time to play Paper Players #37

Hello Again,
When I saw that the Paper Players Challenge this week was spring themed, Awash with Flowers immediately sprung to mind. I love this stamp set and have not used it in awhile. I decided to keep it pink and simple. I stamped the flower outlines with Melon Mambo and used Pink Pirouette to fill them in. I also christened my new Spellbinders Impressibility plate - got to say I love it. I thought this card looked fresh and Eastery, so I added the Easter sentiment from the Well-Scripted ... I wish this set had not retired as I love the swirly script and the variety of sentiments. The rhinestone is coloured with a pink copic - I am not that you can see it in the photo, but it does have a light pink hue to it in real life. It was fun to make a simple card. TFL.

Happy Stamping,
Meg

SR #62 Happy St. Patrick's Day

Hello Everyone,
I saw this great card on Sandi MacIver's blog and immediately downloaded the free tutorial to make it. I knew it would be a perfect St. Patty's Day card for my parents. It took me awhile to get around to making it, but I am so pleased with the results. I changed things up a bit - made it an easel card and used a Hero Arts Shamrock as the central image.  It didn't start out as glittery as it ended up - but I like it! The lattice die definitely has a real celtic flair to it. The green glitter paper is from that fab big box crafting store. I bought a whole bunch in all different colours when they were having a buy-one-get-one. I think this is perfect for the Stampin Royalty challenge this week. Anyway, thanks for looking.

Happy Stamping,

Meg

Long Time No Post and PPA 83 Colour Challenge

Well Hello Everyone,
I apologize for the long absence - I have been creating, but for some reason have not gotten around to posting things; but that is all about to change. When I saw that the Pals Paper Arts colour challenge was featuring Baja Breeze, Soft Suede and Crumb Cake I knew that I had to post this project I made recently. I love it. I got the idea from the wonderfully talented Andrea Walford. If you go to her blog and subscribe to her Sunny Stampin' Ideas newsletter, she will send you these great project ideas every two weeks - complete with pdf tutorial -amazing. This tea holder was one of the projects from the newsletter. This tutorial is also available on her wonderful new website Paper Crafters' Library - it is worth every penny of the subscription fee. The tutorial was very easy to follow and I felt this project was perfect for the stamp set Morning Cup. The flower on the top was made from the two step owl punch - it was a tutorial I found here at Valita's Fresh Folds. Thanks for looking and definitely check out all 4 blogs: PPA, Sunny Stampin', Valita's Designs, and PCL!

Happy Stamping,
