Pin-spiration Week 7: A Touch of Orange

Hi everyone,

It's Tuesday...which means I'm back with more inspiration from Pinterest. :)

Here's today's Pin (click on the picture to see the Pin on Pinterest):


As soon as I saw this Pin I thought of the new Simon Says Stamp Wide Stripes Background Stamp...and that was that. :)

Here's my take:


I masked off all but one stripe, inked it with the Just Rust ink, removed the masking and added the Wet Cement ink before stamping. The enamel dots were inspired by the mobile and I promise the orange one matches the orange stripe in real life.

Supplies:



That's it for me today! I hope you're all having a good week. :)
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Love You, Miss You (& GIVEAWAY)

Hi everyone!

I'm back with another card using the Simon Says Stamp April 2014 Card Kit: You Brighten My Day.


As much as I love them, I thought I'd try and make a card that DIDN'T use any of the cute electrical based images or sayings. Here's what I came up with:


I can't get enough of the bold colours in this month's kit...and the yummy embellishments. Of so yummy. :)

Pin-spiration - Week 6

Hi everyone,

I'm back with my Tuesday Pinterest Feature. :)

Before I get started I thought I'd share that you can follow my Pinterest Page HERE and my (own) cards board specifically HERE.

I also started a FACEBOOK PAGE and hope to remember to post there when I have something new on the blog too. I know I've had some friend requests from people I don't know in the past and am trying to keep my personally account for those I know in real life. I think the facebook page is a good option that will also allow me to answer any questions people may have about any of my projects. I do hope to have a giveaway there in the next few weeks. :)

Alright... here's today's Pin (click on picture to see Pin on Pinterest):

I was drawn to the painting on the wooden floor boards (with the boards showing through) as well as the colours. 

Here's my take:


Unfortunately the background stamp I used is no longer available which is disappointing because it's one of my favourites! I'll link to some other background floral stamps that would work well too in  my supply list.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
I'll be back soon with some more using the Simon Says Stamp April 2014 Card Kit.
