Garden Party - February '16



Tomorrow is the 1st of March and when I hear March I think Yay, spring is coming!
Today we are posting the February edition of the 12 Kits of Occasions. Timing couldn't be more perfect to be celebrating with a Garden Party that is hosted by designer Michelle Leone. We couldn't be happier for Michelle who just recently became of member of the 2017 Papertrey Ink Design Team! We are so lucky to have her as part of our team. Michele sent us a kit full of fresh spring colours with beautiful patterned papers, die cuts and embellishments so that I can think warmer temperatures as I look out my studio window at snow!

Merry Monday Christmas Card Challenge #236

Down to the wire for this week's Merry Monday Christmas Card Challenge #236!




When I saw this week's challenge was to put a stocking on your card I went through my stamps and pulled out an old Paper Smooches set that it still one of my favourites, Merry Motifs. A really CAS design that would be easy for mass producing.

Inspired By All the Little Things #45

 IMG_1820



 I can't believe that I haven't posted in a week! It has been a flurry of activity at my house this week with both of my kids off for their winter reading week and my daughter had a friend come stay with us who flew in from Saskatoon. I think mama is going to need a reading week now--lol!

 Today I have a card to share with you that I created for this week's Inspired by All the Little Things.  I am the hostess this week and I knew as soon as I spotted this coffee cup rack that it would be a perfect inspiration photo. I was inspired by the dark wood boards, the sentiment and of course the coffee mugs. For my card I used Wood Floor paper from Jillibean Soup's Soup Staples III and Stamps from Simon Says Stamp Coffee and Tea. I embossed the sentiment in white and the coffee cup I die cut using my Scan N Cut.

I hope to see you come and play with us this week, but first head over to the blog to see who I invited to be my special guest this challenge and to see the fabulous creations by our Challenge team.

Have a lovely weekend!

Tag You're It #65 - REMINDER

There is still time to play along with challenge #65 at Tag You're It!


As soon as I saw Lisa's tag I knew that I wanted to use the new MFT Stamps Otterly Love You stamp set. This tag literally put itself together.





SugarPea Designs Winter 2017 Collection: Day 5

Well it is Day 5 of the SugarPea Designs Sweet Peeks and today it's Carnival Time!




All the products we have been sharing sweet peeks of will be available for purchase today--Friday, February 17 at 6:00 pm (EST).


For this first card I used this fun patterned paper from the Life is a Canival Paper pad and the Beautiful Bauble die along with the ringmaster image and sentiment from Story Book Circus.



For my last card I used the strong man from Stay Strong along with this fantastic mustache patterned paper from Life is a Canival! I knew right away when I saw the release that the strong man and that paper were meant to be together. I used a longer sentiment from Story Book Circus to balance the design out.


I hope that you have enjoyed all the sweet peaks this week and are excited to be first in line to get this fabulous new circus themed products and remember...
