Pink, and adventures in style.

I've been on a roll lately, i'm telling you I'm loving the challenges out there. They really inspire me to create in ways I would probably not have thought of on my own. So here are two completely different cards inspired by the same color challenge.

This card was all made with 1 sheet of patterned paper. I just cut out elements I really liked and added them back on with dimensional adhesive.

The pallette for these cards was inspired by Moxie Fab World, this one is the Monochromatic challenge.

Thats right, pink x3. Sweet.

For this card I used a couple different papers from the Sweet Stack by DCWV (I used the smaller mat stack size)

I love the rick rack on the edge of the card.

I've really been experimenting with my style of creating latley. (I'm sure you've noticed!) I don't know that I have a "style" thats just me. I really like so many different techniques and trends...I do know that I like feminine. Girly and glittery :) And vintage/retro. Whether its bold like my "Love you forever" card or soft and shabby like these cards, I created it and its me.

Birthday Banner card

I finally broke into my PTI "library ledger" patterned paper....I love love love that aqua polka dot paper. Love it.  I don't know why I dread cutting into paper I love, I mean thats what its for right?

This card was made for one of my favorite challenges, The Play Date Cafe.



Its hard to tell that theres any demention in the straight on picture...

I'm really loving that PTI banner set, its so much fun.

Retro kitsch chic

I'm having a hard time coming up with new post titles...eh. 

Anyhow, this funky patterned card was created with a couple of challenges in mind. 

The sketch is a Mojo Monday sketch.

And honestly it was a challenge for me.. I'm not sure why.

The colors were inspired by the Curtain Call color challenge.

The papers are Cosmo Cricket's Early Bird line...yum!

Birthday Cards + 1 Thank You

I used some paper and embellies that have been sitting around needing some love.... I don't like having paper scraps so when I cut into my patterned paper I want to use it all... I almost never look in my scrap drawer anymore...there's too much beautiful paper in the rest of my stash to use scraps! So here are some quick cards with all the same papers, but with different embellishments.

Can I just say that I have a soft spot in my heart for chickies...

This last one is my favorite I think. I love that little radish. 

Retro card parade

Here are some happy cards :)

Since these cards all use the same supplies I thought I'd just type one up for all of them :)

Patterned paper on all cards is from the Cosmo Cricket Garden collection. Cardstock is from Papertrey Ink. Aqua Ribbon is from Papertrey Ink.

Bakers Twine is from the Twinery. Pom-pom trim is from walmart. All Dies and stamps are from PTI. Stickers are october afternoon-farm fresh.

The color scheme of these cards remind me of a retro kitschy kitchen... Something about those colors just make me happy :) 

I realize that my pictures are not the greatest. Anyone want to teach an online photography for dummies class? I could use some help.
