Cupcake Inspirations Challenge 119

I’ve meant to play along with the Cupcake Inspirations challenges many times, so I’m really excited to play along this week!

Make sure you check out this week’s challenge there, they’ve got a super cute cupcake picture for inspiration, and they’re having a call for Guest Sweeties!

Here’s the card I made…

I think she’s so cute!

Here’s a closer look at the froggy and the sparkly letters…

The paper is My Mind’s Eye.  The sentiment is Studio 112/K & Co. The images are from The Graphics Fairy.

Thanks for looking!

Smeared and Smudged Blog Hop

It’s been forever since I participated in a blog hop, so I decided to play along with the Smeared and Smudged June Member Blog Hop.  We were told to use an element from nature in our project, along with some sort of stamped image.  Here’s the card I came up with.

 

I decided to make a nighttime forest scene.:) 

Here’s the list of all of the blogs on the hop today, in order.  Please check them all out.

Hello

Hi.  Yes, it has been quite a while.  But I do have some excuses, lol.  I moved twice in the last 4 months, so I have been busy.  I’ve still been doing crafty little things, I just haven’t had a chance to share them online.  Hopefully I’ll be able to share some things with you again soon.  I’m making wedding invitations for a couple of friends this year and I’m hoping it will give me some exposure so that I can do more of that kind of thing in the future.  I keep signing into my Etsy shop and trying to decide whether or not to put up some things.  I always chicken out.:)  Maybe I’ll get up the nerve soon.  I hope you all have been doing well!

hugs,

Laura

Friends Having Fun-Color Challenge #5!

Hurray!  I’m finally getting this posted!  This week the Kaleidoscope Krew has a new Color Challenge for you!  I used these colors to make some more of my mini layouts that I’ve been doing lately.

All of the cute stamps were from the $1 bins at JoAnn and Michael’s.  The ribbon was from the $1 bins at Target.  I love a bargain!;)

The pictures are of my husband and me the first time we went to South Carolina together.  We had been married for about 3 months then.:)

Please play along with our challenge if you can.  And don’t forget to check out the other members of the Krew…

FHF Color Challenge #4! - Finally!

I am so sorry this post is so very late! My computer is about to crash and I've been trying to get it to work for days now. I'm typing this right now on a borrowed laptop. I miss using my computer!! Anyway, the Kaleidoscope Krew has a new Color Challenge for you this week! I decided to try something totally new for me. I made my very first ATC!



Here's the color combo we're working with this month...



I used one of the awesome Kraftin Kimmie stamps for my ATC. I really like their stamps.:)

Hope you're having a less stressful week than me, and hope you find a chance to play along with us!
