City Crafter Challenge Blog - Garden Mail - Take 3

OK, well then, apparently I can keep my eyes open for one more post!  Here is the third and final card for the "Garden Mail" challenge over at City Crafter Challenge Blog. 
I like this card because I stamped my leaf image from PTI several times onto white paper and shaded each leaf in with purple chalk for a unique background image and then filled in with the Garden Fresh sentiment. 
I also love the cluster of purple roses hanging upside down onto the parcel tag.  They look like they were hung out to dry and preserve.  I tied them up with some yummy shabby vintage seam binding from one of my favorite etsy shops, Deb's Simple Treasures.
Ok I think I finally have this challenge out of my system............maybe...........
Oh well, that's all for now.
Have a great night everyone!  I already am!
{hugs} Lisa

City Crafter Challenge Blog - Garden Mail - Take 2!

Well I mentioned that I was really inspired by the photo over at City Crafter Challenge Blog this week and I wasn't kidding!  I went on to make another card for the challenge and there is actually one more card waiting in the wings to be posted.  There is just something about this photo from A Creative Mint that I really like!  I'm not sure if it is the colors or the collage look or the layout but I really like everything about it:
Well, whatever it is, my second card features the color palette from the photo and a Hero Arts flower stamp that has been sitting on my wall begging to be used for some time now.  I stamped it onto a handmade parcel tag and embellished with some leaves and ribbon.  Definitely "Garden Mail" material! 
I think it is my favorite out of the 3 that I made.
I hope you like it!
If I can keep my eyes open, I'll post card number 3.
See YA!

Papertrey Ink July Blog Hop - Tax Deduction!

HOORAY!!  It's Blog Hop time again with Papertrey Ink!
For this month's Blog Hop, PTI is focusing on office supplies!
I chose to make a baby card using PTI's ledger paper and incorporate some staples and a few mini paperclips onto my card!  I also thought it would be fun to go with a $$$ theme because of the ledger paper.  The idea of the Mastercard commercial popped into my head and I went with it. 
I usually don't like to see my handwriting on my creations but it just went so perfectly with the
ledger paper and office supply theme. 
I used the Night Night Moon stamp set which is SOOO cute!  I stamped the bottle, duckie and diaper onto the polka dot paper from the ledger series paper, cut them out,  and then pop dotted them up off the page.  Then I stamped the cute border down the side of the ledger paper to coordinate. 

The funny thing is, this card was going to be my "rough draft" just to get my idea out of my head and onto paper but once I saw it, I loved it and decided not to re-do it. 
I can't wait to see how everyone uses their office supplies on their cards, I know PTI has some great products to incorporate the "office" into!
Thanks for stopping by and Happy Hopping Everyone!!

CCCB #14 Sketch

Good morning!  I haven't played along over at the City Crafter's Challenge Blog in a while but when I saw their sketch this morning I was inspired!  I've had this DP from October Afternoon for a while just staring at me and today it jumped up and said PLEASE USE ME! 
Well fortunately it went very nicely with this layout and the "Thanks A Bunch" stamp came in an SU set I just won at a workshop.  The whole card came together very nicely!  I topped it off with some PTI felt flowers, grosgrain ribbon, and buttons. 
Here is the sketch CCCB offered up this morning.
I had alot of fun with this card!
Hope you like it too!
