From my heart

 This one was inspired by The Color Throwdown challenge #131 colors, but alas I was too late to enter the challenge. 

I also used the sketch from Just Us Girls and turned it on its side. 

And I used the Make It Monday distressing technique again on this card. I'm really loving this look, I wonder why I haven't used it too much before?

Look at this picture (you can click on it to see it bigger) its proof how dorky I am... the writing is upside down. Oopsies. I only noticed this while taking the pic of the distressed edges.

I used polka dot basics 2 for and text style 2 to create this background. 

ETA: Like my new look? I did it myself, I was so proud! ;o)

P.S. I was featured on 202 designs blog- Thanks so much!

Shabby Thanks

My mojo is lacking lately, but eventually ideas come. Its been taking me twice as long to get a card done, and I have a couple that never got finished. It happens to all of us i'm sure. *whine whine*

So I did get this card made for a few fun challenges. 

You might notice the colors coincide with the CR84FN color challenge for this week, thats no accident! I love this color challenge blog, its in my top 5 fav challeng blogs. Their color boards are always gorgeous and inspiring.

see? no lie. 

I used the Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge sketch for the layout. 

This one was a fun one.

and the Make it Monday challenge inspired me to try some uber distressed edges. I love the way it looks. I just used my scissors like Lisa did in the video. I kept them closed, that way I wouldn't dull the blade. 

See the yellow scallops? I stamped a large button from Button Boutique in a row to make some fun scallops. They're not perfectly straight but that adds to the charm of it, right? I also used a molded flower I made, If you're interested I can add some to my Etsy shop for you to try out, just let me know. :o)
