♥SMITTEN♥

I think when you lose your mojo and you go looking for it, often times you open your eyes to new things that you might not have seen before!  Now,  to some of you this will be old news, but to me,

WOW, I have found

INSPIRATION CENTRAL

and her name is

HEATHER BAILEY

OK so as I said, this may not be news to some of you but WOW, I think I am in love.  Heather is a designer and she designs the most beautiful, colorful fabrics in the brightest colors and the most beautiful patterns!  I have been browsing her website, blog and shop for the past few days and there is so much to see and do.  She has free tutorials and so many great ideas for crafting.  She does sewing, quilting, papercrafting and a host of other projects!  If you haven't checked Heather out yet, I highly recommend doing so!

I am dying to purchase some of her gorgeous fabrics so that is next on my wish list but while I was browsing her store, I found these adorable word stamps by Autumn Leaves and some really

bright ink pads that I just had to have!

So this card uses the SMILE sentiment and the pink ink pad that I just bought.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

Flourishes 'Beautiful' Challenge - Beauty with Color

Cute Card Thursday - Challenge 124 - Whateva!

2s4y - Kazan's Sketch 58

Card Patterns - Sketch 75

The Pink Elephant - Sketch 77

I really enjoyed making this card and I'm very pleased with the way it came out.  My mojo peaked it's head into my studio for a little while and it was a very welcome site!  I took advantage and went shabby chic crazy which is my favorite style!!!  {I forgot how much I loved it!}

Thanks for stopping by my lil' old blog today, I hope you enjoy the card!

Have a wonderful day, I already am!
