Here is the inspirational picture for this month.

And here is my take on the picture.

Supplies:
Cardstock: Wplus9 white cardstock.
Stamp Set: Mother's Day Bouquet and Spring Post from Wplus9
Accessories: Rhinestones from Kaisercraft.
 
  If you know me, then you will know, I generally get carried away and do more than one project lol! I took the colours and the busy paisley pattern as my inspiration for my cards. So I couldn't stop myself from using just one stamp set (Mother's Day Bouquet). I saw Folk Art Florals stamp set from Wplus9 in my folder and thought how about using this set? In a matter of another 20 minutes, I had another card made lol!

 
Supplies:
Cardstock: Kraft cardstock from PTI. White cardstock from Wplus9 and Real Red cardstock from SU
Stamp Sets: Spring Post and Folk Art Florals from Wplus9
Accessories: Rhinestones from Kaisercraft.
Hope you like my cards. If you are inspired by the picture and you make a project, then why don't you link your prpject to Mr. Linky at Cloud9 Blog. I love to visit your blog and see your beautiful projects.

Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing my excitment :)

See you soon.

Happy Birthday!


A quick post today! 
Sharing I card I made for one of the ColourQ challenge some time ago but I did not have time to publish them.

Supplies:
Cardstock: Gina K Luxury Pure White cardstock
Stap Set: Retro Foundation Stamp Set from The Craft's Meow
Inks: Cameo Coral, More Mustard,Pacific Blue and Bashful Blue from SU. Archival Jet Black ink.
Accessories: SU markers.

I love the upside down scalloped border stamp from The Craft's meow. So trendy now. I see lots of companies bringing out their own version of it. So there is a larger choice to choose from. I like them simple like this one above.

Cannot wait to drive back home tomorrow. Although it is a 8 to 9 hour drive. I enjoy driving. But most of all go back home.

There is an exciting news I would like to share tomorrow. So make sure you visit again:)
Thanks for stopping by!

Readers' Choice!


Well, did you see this? Papercraft magazine has for the first time asked to select two cards out of 10 by the readers for publishing in their Jan/Feb issue under Valentines for Guys. How cool is that? So I went to see all the cards. And to my surprise (sweet of course lol!) my card is one among the 10. Wow!
So here is the link if you wish to vote.
 
I am out of town and don't have a good internet connection. It is frustrating to have the internet go off and on at its own will! And I never thought I am so dependent on it too :( So all my posts have to wait until Tuesday. This post took me like 10 minutes to type and more than half an hour to publish it!!!!

Anyway, thanks for stopping by! Have a great weekend!

I was digging and


I found an old stamp set from Clean and Simple Stamps. This set is called Game On and a very cute Wii set. I loved it as my son had Wii then. But then the set got burried under other stamps and forgotton. But today I found it Yay! Love the girl and boy Wii images that I wanted to ink them and make a card.

Supplies:
Cardstock: White cardstock from Wplus9.
Pattern Paper: Basic Grey White essential 6 x 6 paper pad.
Stamp Set: Game On retired stamp set from Clean and Simple Stamps. Love Birds from Wplus9
Accessories: Copic Markers.

How cute are those images? I love them and they beautifully coordinated with the love heart trio image and sentiment stamp from Wplus9. I love this card. Hope you do too:)

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great week!
