♥ Simon Says...Anything Goes ♥

Happy Wednesday! Today starts a brand new challenge over at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog! This week's challenge is...ANYTHING GOES!

The Simon Says DT are showcasing some sweet products by Lawn Fawn. You don't have to use them on your card, but if you have them we would love to see you use them! ;) I am using the adorable Woodgrain Backdrops Clear Stamp Set and Spruce Woodgrain Notecards by Lawn Fawn. I am also using some Hello Sunshine Sequins also by Lawn Fawn.

I stamped the woodgrain background, hearts and sentiments using  Doll Pink and Audrey Blue Inks by Simon Says Stamp and Black StazOn. I popped up the woodgrain panel using some foam dots. I finished off the card with some May Arts Natural Twine and some White Opal Liquid Pearls.

And don't forget, the super sweet and generous Heidi will give the random winner of this challenge a $50 Credit Voucher to the Simon Says Stamp Superstore! Good luck everyone!

♥ Vintage Memories ♥

Hi there! One of my New Year's resolutions this year was to join in on more challenge blogs. Which translates to...take more time out for mommy! I'm always putting everyone else first and always running around for my kids, which I love, but decided I need to take more time to relax and enjoy life. And one way I love to relax is to make things! Especially cards. So here is my card for this week's sketch over at the Sketch Saturday Challenge Blog! Such a fun one too! :)

I used some old papers and embellies from Farm House Paper Company. I've been hoarding them forever and decided to finally let go! I also used a paper rose,some May Arts Natural Twine and some White Opal Liquid Pearls.

Here is the fab sketch!

And, did I mention, it's being sponsored by Simon Says Stamp this week! :)

Hope you have an amazing day! We are snowed in again! Kids are off from school and having a blast! :)

♥ A Krafty Valentine ♥

Happy Friday everyone! Just stopping in with a card for this week's Make it Monday Challenge over at The Kraft Journal. It is to make a Valentine using kraft. Usually when I make a card I like to use one main manufacturer but this card is kind of a Frankenstein card! A little bit of this and a little bit of that! :)

I used papers by Teresa Collins (Floral) and Doodlebug (blue and white polka dots). The chipboard hearts are from Crate Paper's Fourteen line. The Kraft cardstock can be purchased at The Kraft Outlet. I also used the A2 Bracket Borders One Dies by Spellbinders as well as some paper flowers, White Opal Liquid Pearls, lace and burlap trim.

I hope you have a fabulous weekend!!
