Today we are showcasing Just Bugcause ( I love the name ) 

Here's my projects I've created for you...

I am loving to create a set of cards with the same color theme ( actually patterned papers) . I am someone that usually never had a card when I needed one ( crazy ,huh) . As you can see by my last couple of posts , I am really loving creating more than one , when I can. 

This is the first one I created , inspired by the butterfly and the sentiment . 

I used the small stitched banner die as well to create each of these cards . I decided to make the main butterfly colorful , and the two for the next two cards monochromatic . I then of course made them onto shaker cards using some clear and white sequins and of course some of the adorable new 3mm True Love sequins available at Craftin' Desert Divas !!!! 

Be sure to join us tomorrow for another great new stamp set.

Here's today's free pattern:

Hello ...... With CDD Deer Friends set ....

Happy Saturday everyone !!!
I am here with today's Spring themed post for Craftin' Desert Divas .
I created this set of Hello cards, using the adorable Craftin' Desert Divas Deer Friends stamp set !!!
I really LOVE the images .  

I wanted to have cards pre~made , because in my case it seems when I need one I can't seem to find any . So , with the images in mind I knew I wanted to use a fresh , Spring color . 

And of course what would a Spring themed card be without flowers ? 

Lol, so I added these yellow flowers to my cards . 

Here is a photo of this adorable stamp set 

it is available for purchase here . 

The Hello sentiment is from the Simply Said stamp sets :

Available for purchase here.

Hoppy Easter .....

Hello everyone !!! 

Happy Thursday !!! 

Can you believe today is the last day of Kathy from the Daily Marker wonderful 30 Day Coloring Challenge ?! I am so sad that it has come to an end !! I have met some amazing artist through this challenge !!! I actually was able to color on most days , I just didn't create a card with each of the images. I tried new techniques , that I never would have though of .... I truly have learned so much !!! I can not thank Kathy enough for hosting such a fantastic and inspiring challenge !!!! 

Here is the card I created for today :

I used the adorable bunnies ( I am really LOVING bunnies ) from the

adorable Mama Elephant Honey Bunny Stamp Set . 

I wanted to make this card a bit fun ... so I hid my distress ink colored ( the yellow one) and my pink bunnies inside of the shaker card , as if they were peeking out at you . 

I used the adorable polka dot image and created fun colored carrots for my background .

Fun technique .....

Happy Friday everyone !!!! 

I couldn't wait to share this super, super fun card I created today ( I was on a card making spree , completed 4 cards today ) !!! I was inspired by the super talented (ok.. I am using the word super a lot ,lol ) Kristina ~ K Werner Designs  . She created a this beautiful background for her card , it was a galaxy and she used Distress Inks . Here is the link to her video if you would like to watch it . 

I knew I would be using this fun stamp set from Paper Smooches Space Cadet . I think it goes perfect with this technique . I then chose the colors I would be using ~ and began the super fun process of creating my background . 

I really love this technique !!!! 

You know when I love something , you will likely see it again !!!! 

I will be entering this fun card into the 

Paper Smooches sketch challenge :
