Poppy Seed Challenge-#1

Lisa Johnson is well known for her blog called Poppy Paperie.  She has started a new challenge called Poppy Seed Challenge.  So I decided to go for it!
As you can see from the challenge card above.  Lisa asked that you use crystals, a flower stamp and incorporate light yellow.  I used my new Asian Fusion set along with dark chocolate and rustic cream paper.  I added crystals in my aqua mist flowers and lemon tart ribbon.  I love how the card turned out.  Enjoy!  This was a great challenge and can't wait for more in the future!

Hello

I loved using my epoxy stickers on the flowers to make them stand out.  Not really a pink fan but like how the card turned out.  Enjoy!

Life

This is one of my favorite cards.  I used my Life set from Papertrey Ink.  This card could be used for some many different reasons, so I really appreciate how versatile it can be.

Birthday Wishes

Several weeks ago Papertrey Ink hosted a birthday challenge.  They had several birthday images to use.  I picked the cupcake image and then added my own colors and sentiment.  I love the color combination.

Bind it All

So I have owned a Bind it All for quite some time and I have used it but not enough, so I decided to pull it out and put together a quick project.  I have been wanting to make an envelope system to house my coupons and designated money for certain shopping areas.  First I made the cover and back using cardstock and cardboard.  I stamped a simple title page using Papertrey Stamps.
A blog that I follow, Kelleigh Ratzalff Designs, had an envelope template posted for free couple of months ago.  I downloaded the templated and printed it on several sheets of patterned cardstock.  I then used my scor-pal to finish the edges and they turned out great!  By the way Kelleigh has many awesome tutorials!
Next I made individual labels for the envelopes using my Nestabilities and Papertrey Stamps.  I still need to purchase some magnets to put behind the tag to keep it closed and items secured.
Lastly, I used my Bind it All  to finish the project out.  The project contains 9 envelopes, some I don't think I will use that often, so I put those in the back.  I really like how this project turned out and I see myself using it all of the time.  It is a great place to keep coupons for various stores and even lists since I tend to like a seperate list for each store.  I already have some coupons clipped from this mornings paper and can't wait to use my new creation!  Enjoy!

Thank You

Here is another card using my Through the Trees set.  I love how this turned out.  I used my scor-pal to scor the right side of the card.  I thought it added a nice touch!  Hope you having a great week.

Just Because

I made this cute card on a whim.  I love using the Through the Trees stamp set.  I find it so versatile.  I added some hearts to the tree and on the ground by using Simple Valentine.
