{My Favorite Style} at Sweet Stampin'

This week at Sweet Stampin' the girls want to see your "Favorite Style!" I don't really know what my favorite style is, but I like clean and layers a lot, so that's kinda what I chose LOL...

I have been wanting to join in with Tara and Hayley over at Colour Me! for a few weeks now and this week's subtle combo is gorgeous - couldn't pass it up!!

I made a card a couple days ago with the deconstructed Sketch, and I loved it, so I thought, "why not? Let's do it again!" 

My card is chalk-full of Reverse Confetti and MFT goodness....The tag, sentiment stamp, and sentiment flag is from RC and the daisy dies are from MFT. I used a couple different embossing folders for some texture on the colored panels.

I had so much fun whipping this card up - the colors work well together, the layout makes it very easy to use different dies or stamp sets to create your project and it only took about 20 mins to complete! Yay!

TPE #233 {Recipe}

Happy Monday everyone! It's "RECIPE" week over at The Pink Elephant and here's all the ingredients:

Recipe: Use 2 Pattern Papers, 1 Border Die/Punch & a Heart

I found "the perfect" sketch over at the Deconstructed Sketch blog and got to work right away:

I received my jam-packed box of Kraftin' Kimmie goodness on Thursday last week, and I got busy cutting out rubber right away! These super cute images from Cheryl Alger are so stinkin' adorable!! I am entering this cutie into the Kraftin' Kimmie Wonderful Wednesday challenge and also gonna throw my name into the hat again for a chance at a Guest Designer spot (that would be so incredibly AWESOME)....
 

I inked this cute pair from the set "Together is Better" with Momento Black ink and colored them in with my Copics. I used 2 different pattern papers from the EP "Head Over Heels" 6 x 6 collection, my border punch is a scallop under the colored image (I know it's hard to see, but trust me, it's there *wink*) and of course my 2 hearts punched with the Martha Stewart heart punch. I finished off the card with some black YNS Black Gumdrops and some baker's twine.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
