PAPER CAKE TRAIL

Today's card is inspired by the pretty inspiration photo over at the shabby tea room .  I really love all the pretty colors that we get to work with.  I began with a printed Pink chevron cardstock base.  I then layered and border punched onto that a piece of geometric blue paper.  I faux stitched around the White panel, then adhered the Pink heart, yellow punch with sentiment and Yellow twine.  I finished this off with a beautiful White fabric flower. Thank you for stopping by! Alyson

Today's card was inspired by I card I cased from 'here' along with the cr84fncolorchallenge .  I love the pretty colors for this challenge.  My card began on a piece of Sahara Sand cardstock, not a colour I use often.  I then die cut a piece of aqua coloured chevron patterned paper, which has a tag die cut in Sahara Sand adhered to it.  The flowers were die cut with Pink felt and finished off with a pretty Pink rhinestone.  I used a roller stamp for the flowers with versamark, then used some smooches for the centers.  I punched out a few butterflies with some coordinating scraps, attached some clear rhinestones and voila!

Today's card is inspired by the Embellish inspiration photo.  I love the look of chevron, so classy.  I began with a printed gray chevron base.  I then used the a stamp from the Kind & Caring Thoughts set, stamping it in Pink and Plum. You can't see it, but I have used some glitter on the petals.  Finally some pretty Green/Blue ribbon. Thank you for stopping by! Alyson  

The last 2 months have been a blur, between working full-time and doing courses.  Now that things have settled a bit, it sure is nice to escape into my crafting land to relax. Today's card is inspired by the Mojo Monday sketch along with the Color Throwdown !  I really love all the squares with this great sketch! I began with a piece of Certainly Celery cardstock for my base.  I punched 12 squares from Cottage Wall, retired, designer series paper, then adhered them to a piece of Whisper White cardstock.  The paper flowers are from the Bigz L Fun Flowers die cut.  I used Pretty in Pink for the first layer, and Melon Mambo small polka dot patterned paper for the top layer.  The sentiment is from the Just Believe stamp set and is stamped in Always Artichoke onto some Whisper White.  For the final touch I stuck a cute little button and twine onto the tag and stuck in on to the paper flowers. Thank You for stopping by! Alyson ...

Here are a few items that I added to my Etsy store today.   I thought they were cute and wanted to share. Thanks for stopping by!

This is my take on the Mojo Monday sketch challenge. I began my creation on a piece of Certainly Celery cardstock.  The first layer is Whisper White with rounded edges and pink shading around all the edges.   I cut a panel from Certainly Celery and another layer with Whisper White. I once again rounded all the edges as well as pink shading.  The patterned paper is from the Recollections collection, the blue is random scraps and the lower border is also Recollections.  For the finishing touches I used a few Pink buttons and Pink rhinestones. Here is the Mojo 237 sketch: Thank you for stopping by! Alyson

This is my creation for the Create with Connie and Mary color challenge. I began my creation on a piece of White confetti cardstock.  I punched the White strip with a retired Stampin' wheel in Certainly Celery.  The top and bottom piece were punched out using Concord Crush.  The tag was stamped using the new 'Summer Smooches' stamp set in Certainly Celery, Marina Mist and Concord Crush.  I finished this card off with a cute little sentiment, ribbon and rhinestone. Here is the color challenge:   Thank you for stopping by! Alyson
