I had a blast and I got the chance to create 2 projects for today, both fabulously Inky! Not only did I create a project using Teary Eyed Lili for today's hop, but I also created a card for this weeks Inky Impressions Challenge! featuring a brand new digital image called Monsters Blowing Bubbles, isn't he just the cutest?!I unfortunately have a friend who lost her son recently and she is a big stamper who I plan on sending this card to, she needs a pick me up, and this sentiment is perfect because I have been thinking about her. I used this fun designer paper from Echo Park called Country Drive, it's sweet and girlie and I think works well with this sad and sweet Teary Eyed Lili.My next card featuring a brand new digital image called Monster Bubbles, isn't he just the cutest?! I think that not only is he perfect for Valentine's Day but he would be great for everyday fun too, I mean he is blowing bubbles! I used my Love Me designer paper from My Mind's Eye and paired it with Red, Pink and White which is this weeks Inky Impressions Challenge!I used a lot of dimension in this card with plenty of pearl accents plus a touch of lace heart trim, I think it all worked well together. Plus, if all that wasn't enough I added some Crystal Effects to his bubbles to give them some more dimension, and you can actually see it in this photo!Now on to the rest of today's hop.

Paper Makeup Stamps Fun!

2011-12-15T07:00:00.002-05:00

Today I have a fun little project I worked on last weekend to share. My mom hosted a cookie swap so I made all sorts of cookies and I wanted my packaging to be top notch so I decorated the fun little bags using the Color It Winter Tags set from Paper Makeup Stamps! I had a lot of fun trying to decide which stamp to use, in the end after I picked which bag I would use the rest was simple! This adorable snowman and tag stamp were just perfect. I also used the stamp "Happy Holidays" from the Season's Greetings Holiday Sentiment Set. The bag was closed with some silver ribbon that I curled and the tag I think finished it all off.

Thank you so much for stopping by, I do hope you enjoyed what I shared with you today! Have a great day!
