Twinkles Glow with Stamps

Happy Hump Day Everyone!! I hope you are having a great week!!

Today it is time for another Whiff of Joy challenge!! This week's challenge is fun and easy peasy. Pink and Pearls!!


For my creation I used the darling Willow with flowers image available at Whiff of Joy illustrated by Elizabeth Bell. The dress is paper pieced with Prima Sparkling spring paper and is colored with copics. The designer paper on the card itself is actually fabric dp which I purchased at Hobby Lobby. The flowers are Wild Orchid roses. The die used in the background is the Elegant Ovals die available at ODBD.  The sentiment is cut out with the Stampin Up oval punch.

Happy Saturday All!  I hope you are enjoying your weekend!!  Our neighborhood has been quite the busy place.  Yesterday NBC moved in the area to start the "Extreme Makeover" 1/2 mile down the road from us.  It is kind of fun to see how it all works although I must stay I am keeping a little bit of my distance cause the area is swarmed with volunteers and workers etc.  It is a 24 hour job and the traffic of trucks etc. is unbelievable...

Anywho....I am popping in to share this week's Shining the Light challenge at ODBD...

Happy Hump Day Everyone!! I hope you are having a great week!!

Today it is time for another Whiff of Joy challenge!! This week's challenge is fun and easy peasy.  Tag it!!
Create a Tag!!

Here is what I created:

First...let me apologize for the bad photo...it has been so cloudy and rainy that it has been to dark for picture taking...I desperately need a photo light...

Anywho....I used the darling Henry Celebration Mouse that I colored with copics.  The tag shape is from Our Daily Bread Designs Tag die.  The image itself is mounted on the Labels 16 from Spellbinders.  The lace behind it is an applique which was sent to me by a friend which I have been hoarding.  The dp is from Prima Sparkling Spring.  I had to make a gift with the tag though....I used a Stampin Up Bag Sizzix die. The blue ribbin is actually wrinkled seam binding to give it a more vintage flair.

Happy Sunday Everyone!! I hope you all are enjoying the weekend. If you visited yesterday, thene you may notice that this post is very similar but I am praying this time a photo is showing.  For whatever reason, I could see a photo of my card but I have had several people email me or leave a comment that they could not...so let us try this again.

  This is a card I created for the Our Daily Bread Designs Shining the Light challenge!!

The designer paper is Pink Paislee.  I added some Prima flowers, ZVA creative small flourish pearls, seam binding from my dear friend Sabrina, lace from JoAnn Fabrics, and a hatpin and button from my stash (the button is recycled).  The corners and top border are created with the Fleur De Lis Motifs.
