Inspired by....

Oh, I was so very inspired to create a card and play along over at Inspired by this week.....Here is the fabulous photo inspiration. A chalkboard....how appropriate for me this week! We begin our state assessments and I loved this challenge. 

 I chose to use some leftovers from my last layout to create a card for my teaching partner. I have been so blessed to have her as my partner and my friend! She is truly the best. I will give her this card and some yummy stress relieving chocolates on our first day of testing!

Recipe: scraps of For Always papers, some Honey scraps and that black "chalkboard" is a scrap also. I used some bitty pearls and the ever wonderful Artiste cartridge to create my roses. Just wrote my sentiment with a white jelly roll pen. 

Journal

This morning, I am sharing a little journal I made for one of my students. She just lost her Greatgradma. The two were very close. My little girl is such a writer and keeps a journal. I made this as a token for her to record her memories, thoughts, or her healing process. 

Recipe: papers-gcd, bling-Prima, flower-Recollections, ribbon stash, and the ink is Gypsy-CTMH

Us...

It is Sunday and that means we have a new challenge up at Lasting Memories....This week we want to see   your take on "Season's Change". I pulled out some photos that Ben and I took 3 years ago at Easter. We took a spring hike in for one mile to see the Beautiful Bad Branch Falls, located here in our home town. This was a fabulous spring day for us! 

Recipe: papers-Sassafras Lass, felt-stash, ink-CTMH
I can't wait to see how you interpret the season's change challenge this week!

My Day.....

 I have had such a busy week at school this week preparing for state assessments, that I didn't have any time to create at all.... :(  Stressful week.... So this morning, I got right to it and already feel some relaxation setting in! I created this layout of my beautiful Megan's wedding album. I challenged myself to use the card sketch from my last post to do a layout. Love how it came out. 

 I used some of the new For Always fabrics and rolled these flowers. Oh, there are so many ways to create using that wonderful fabric.

Recipe: All papers and fabrics are For Always, black ink, bling-Prima, Thickers alphas, and I used the Elegant Edges cartridge for the cuts.

Wonderful....

Hello and welcome to wonderful Wednesday! Today, we reveal our new challenge over at Let's Scrap. This week you are inspired to create a card or layout using this sketch.

I pulled out the ever beautiful Chantilly papers for this one. I love how these patterns are just so lovely together. I altered the sketch just a bit to fit my card. That sentiment is from the dimensional elements set. It is just perfect on this card.  

So stop by our fun community and play along with us this week! We would love to see your take on this sketch. 

Recipe: Chantilly papers, Chantilly Dimensional Elements, Cotton Candy ink, pink glitter gems, and floss from stash. 

hi....

It's time to play along over at Cardabilities again.....Love this sweet sketch. 

 I made this from scraps in my stash. Love how it came out, sweet and simple......

Recipe: All supplies are K and Co. Wild Saffron. The butterfly and the flourishes are also Wild Saffron. I used the Word Bubbles stamp from the Artiste kit and some Cranberry ink for my sentiment.
