Two Patterns for Simon Says Stamp

The challenge at Simon Says Stamp was two pattern papers. 

I used a card kit for this one, but blended two pattern papers for my creation.

I adored these papers, which were part of a kit from last year.  

I hope you find some time to create today.

Happy Valentine's Day

Inspired by The Card Concept, created this one Valentines Day card which is a bit clean and layered. 

 Amazing what glitter paper and sequin can do to improve the mood.  I was inspired by the white space and that black and white pillow. 

I hope you find some time to create today.

Love and Ice Cream for Freshly Made Sketches

Worked on a little something for Freshly Made Sketches challenge this week.  I created my background using the negative pieces of a cover die, and then went to work on on image and sentiment based on the sketch. 

I'd love a strawberry ice cream cone right now!  

I love using my negative pieces. 

I hope you find some time to create today.

Open My Present First @TSOT

Played along with the sketch at Try Stampin' on Tuesday.

I let the pattern paper do most of the talking.  For my stamped image, I stamped on white and then used some of the paper to paper piece the gift.  

I hope you find some time to create today!

Sparkle for Always Fun Challenge

"Sparkle" is the theme at Always Fun Challenge, so I had to play around with some bling.

 Varied degrees of shimmer . . . the shimmer of the Nuvo powders, the sparkle of the embossing glitter and the added shimmer trim tape. 

Decided to keep my snowflakes and sentiment flat white with all the other sparkly happening.

I hope you find some time to create.
