A Fun Weekend Challenge


It is one of those lazy Sundays around our household today! The boys are watching Ironman and the girls are getting their craft on!

Yesterday, Butterfly Reflection Ink released a sketch to play along with. It got my creative juices flowing today.

Here is my creation using pieces of the Pebbles From Me to You collection:


The original sketch (from the Butterfly Reflection Inks blog) for the challenge looks like this:



I decided to flip the sketch. However, I kept the main highlights the same.

It felt somewhat odd not using a single stamp, but so easy to build using the stickers and chipboard pieces.

Hope you stop by Butterfly Reflections Ink to check out their fun selection. It seems like there is always something new!!!

Supplies:
Pebbles - From You to Me Collection ( Sticker Labels,  Chips, and cardstock)
Studio Calico - Veneer Hearts

Happy Prickley Pear Monday!

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone! I had a wonderful Spring Break and ready to get back to work! Being Monday, I have a new Prickley Pear creation to share with you. Sadly, not a festive green one to mark today's holiday!


Using Prickley Pear's Thank You Would be Suffice JJ0067 stamp:



I love the size of this sentiment. Perfect to be the focus of the card. I paired it up with fun spring colors! I love how this card turned out!

Happy Prickley Pear Monday!

Can you believe that March is already here? Spring is just around the corner! My favorite time of the year. So I decided to bring out the floral with today's Prickley Pear creation!

The PPRS stamp is suppose to be shamrocks, but I decided to color them pink, making the image perfect for several spring projects!


I definetly tested my coloring skills with the Bailey (HH0156). This image would look perfect in endless of color combinations! I have been wanting to use this paper for a while and thought this image would be perfect! I added a simple sentiment from the Spring Crosses 2 Clear Stamp set (CLR032A).

Be sure to stop by the Prickley Pear blog to see more design team creations! Have a great day!
