Lasting Memories....

Good Morning! Our challenge this week at Lasting Memories is to be inspired by a quote. Still rather inspired from last week's challenge, I pulled out some old stash and created this...

I was inspired to create this layout based upon the quote, "It doesn't get any better than this". I adore these Stella papers and canvas stickers. What quote will inspire you? Is it a favorite of yours, or will you be inspired by shopping through your stash, as I was? Can't wait to see what you come up with! 

Recipe: Stella papers, Lagoon and Chocolate ink, Stella canvas stickers, antique copper brads, Just for You stamps--CTMH, buttons-stash, and white pen.

Getting to play along with this fun sketch at Retro Sketches today! 

 I chose the purple and gold as part of my team challenge (high school colors)  for our Rose Blossoms group. I am so happy with how this one came out!

Recipe: CTMH supplies-cardstock/inks- Petal and Honey, cuttlebug embossing folder, Jolee's bling. I used a little rock and roll on my stamped image and I LOVE it! The flowers are layered and cut at 1.25 inch from the George and Basic Shapes cartridge.

Buzz and Bumble...

I have a sweet little card this morning using this sketch. 

I came up with this....

Recipe: Buzz and Bumble Workshop on the Go papers, stamps, and embellishments - CTMH, inks used Sorbet, and Dessert Sand. The bling is from bitty sparkles.

Let's Scrap Reveal.....

So I had posted on my blog last week that I had been chosen to be a part of the Let's Scrap DT!!!! Today is the big reveal day in our community! Here was the application sketch.....

and this was my take on it. I had posted this last week and didn't know at the time that I had been selected for the team. So in honor of our big reveal......Here is my layout (again)......

If you aren't already a member of our wonderful community, hop on over, check out the other wonderfully talented ladies I design with, and play along with our fun challenges! 

Believe in yourself....

Oh yay...I got a chance to finally play along with my scrappy girl, Laurel's challenge, Inspired By. Her inspiration this week is this this photo, full of blue in honor of Autism.....

 I was really drawn to the less noticed color in this photo, the beige of the rug and the side table. So, I came up with this...

I used some old stuff on this one and some new CTMH goodies too. The blue is Moonstruck with matching ink. The beige is our Champagne. I ran it through the cuttlebug, then sanded it to expose the white. Then, I used my distressing sponge and lightly dabbed some of the blue ink on the swirls just randomly. I stamped the frame using the new Perfect fit frame from CTMH and cut it out with the Artiste cart. The little sentiment stamp is also retied, but I love it. It is from the Be Happy set. It is stamped in Champagne also. I finished it off with some blue ribbon from my stash and 2 bitty pearls. 

Mom...

Good Monday....today is a new reveal at the Rose Blossom Garden challenge. This challenge will focus on using the Happy Mother's Day key on the Artiste cartridge. I created this dainty little box, just perfect for a sweet Pandora charm for my Mom.....

 I used the Accent 1 3D Tulip Box key and some soft feminine Clementine papers, Sorbet ink, bitty pearls and one flower from the WOTG set. The ribbon is CTMH retired from years ago.....more of that hoarded stash. ;)
Don't forget that our winner for April will receive this Perfect Frame set.

I hope to see you playing along with us this time!!!!
