Thinking Of You!

Happy Monday!

I hope you all had a fabulous weekend :)

Today I would like to share with you a card that I made for the sketch challenge over at

Unscripted Sketches.

As soon as I saw the sketch I feel in love with the clean and simple lines of it.

Here is the card that I created:

I know, I know, your thinking a purple mailbox? Really? haha! Purple is my favorite color and the other day hubby and I were talking about repainting the trim on our house and he jokingly said that if I had my way, we would paint the house purple. Although I would love that, I don't think the neighbors would ;) Anyway, when I started coloring, I thought about that conversation and colored the mailbox purple.

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by my blog and take a look at my latest creation.

I really appreciate it!

I hope you have a great crafty day :)

Supplies:

Card Stock: Recollections

Patterned Paper: Recollections

Stamp: Unity

Ink: Chocolate Chip (SU!)

We Are The Wild Life Frame

Hi Everyone!

Today I get to show you another project made using

those fabulous Joy's Life Stamps!

This week, the design team was asked to make a animal themed project.

I decided to make a picture frame with some zebra print flowers on it.

I bought one of those unpainted dollar frames from Michaels for my project.

My daughter and her bestie both love zebra print so I wanted to make some

flowers out of zebra print patterned paper.

I cut my flowers out of the accent essentials cricut cartridge.

To make them pop, I painted the frame a hot pink color.

My sentiment came from the Wild Life Puns stamp set from Joy's Life and I think it describes them perfectly!

I stamped my sentiment directly onto the frame using black staz on ink. 

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by my blog today and taking a look at my latest creation!

I really appreciate it.

Don't forget to stop by the Joy's Life DT page for more animal themed inspiration this week.

I hope you have a great crafty day!

Trendy Twine Tuesday featuring Cotton Candy

Hi Everyone!

You ready for another great Tuesday feautring the ever

sweet Trendy Twine?

This month we are showing you projects made with the

Cotton Candy Trendy Twine.

I decided to make a sweet little card for my project.

Formy lollipop, I punched out a circle from my circle punch and then applied some adhesive to it. I then wrapped the twine all around my circle, starting in the middle working my way out, until I had the circle completely covered. I then glued a lollipop stick to the back and attached it to my card base with some foam adhesive. So cute!

Gable Box featuring Joy's Life Stamps

Hi Everyone!

Today I get to share with you another super cute project featuring the wonderful

 Joy's Life Stamps!

This week the design team was challenged to make something Easter and/or Spring related.

I decided to make a little gable box filled with some jelly beans.

I cut my gable box out of the Tags, Bags, Boxes and More 2 cricut cartridge at 5.5"

I then did some stitching around my box before I assembled it and added that cute little sentiment from the All Around Sentiments set to the front. I put the jelly beans into a little organza bag. I took them out of the box for the purpose of the picture.

Here is a close up of the detail on my sentiment:

I stamped my sentiment and then punched it out with a circle punch and then layered it with some scallop circle. I then added some pearls around the edge. I love the softness that the pale purple card stock and the pearls add to my project. It definitely looks like spring to me :)

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and look at my latest creation. I really appreciate it!
