for a moment , when I saw the new

I LOVE these colors together !

Here is the card I created ,

Happy Thursday !!!! 

I wanted to stop by and share this sweet little card I created using the freebie that came in the newsletter from 2 Cute Ink . Isn't this owl adorable !!!!!! 

They have a Baby themed challenge going on right now.

 I knew I would use this cute little image for a "It's A Girl " card . 

The background of my card has the round diamonds from 

The Tons Round Diamonds stamp set ( really love this set ) . 

The "congratulations" sentiment is from the same set . 

The little flap opens to reveal the

Happy Easter card .....

Hi everyone !!! 

I am back today to share a quick and fun card I created today using one of my 

Lawn Fawn stamp sets .  I recently purchased the super cute 6x6 paper pads : Let's Polka, Mon Amie and Beach Side Pint-Sized Patterns ( I LOVE these) . I really couldn't wait to use these ( I am a paper hoarder as well ) . So, I thought to myself since these are made by Lawn Fawn ... let me pull out a stamp set from them as well ! I purchased this set from Butterfly Reflections (THANK YOU ) great service and super fast shipping  !~!!!! 

Onto the card I created ,lol !!! I knew I would be using the paper from one of the sets , and I ended up going with the  Let's Polka, Mon Amie paper pad . I love the patterns and colors !!! Makes creating with these super easy !!! I am happy to  have come across a blog called Lawnscaping Challenges , it's about working with your Lawn Fawn stamps ~ I knew it was the perfect chance to create . The challenge is to use Distress Inks . I colored my images with Tim Holtz Distress Inks .
