Angelica's Heart Sock Inspiration

Good morning all it is time to share a bit of Inky Impressions Inspiration! That's right, today I have a creation to share with you using one of the fun stamps from the Inky Impressions Store!

Today I decided to ink up Angelica's Heart Socks! I decided to play along with both the current Mojo Monday Sketch as well as the current Ribbon Carousel Challenge! For my ribbon "alter" I bunched it up, sort of like ruffles and picked a ribbon that matched the color I used on Angelica's Socks! I love trying new ways to use ribbon, heck I have a tendency to reach for ribbon with almost all of my cards, and I was glad that I got the chance to play along with this ribbon challenge.

Thank you for stopping by today, I do hope that you enjoy my creation for today and have a fabulous day!

Remembering 9-11

I can still not believe that it has been 10 years since the attack happened on the World Trade Center. Were you ever there? Did you get the privileged to enjoy the New York City skyline from the observation deck in the Twin Towers? I did get such a chance when I was in middle school with one of the volunteer groups I was a part of, I don't recall specifics but I remember looking out over the city and being amazed at everything around me. I went back many times after that trip but never again went inside the towers. Since the attacks I have been to that spot of downtown more times then I can count, I have seen it destroyed, I have seen it being built back up, and I can not wait to see it in the glory that it will be, a memorial for such a tragic event.

Today marks 10 years, and Bugaboo Stamps is honoring today with a freebie image, I think Jodie did a stunning job on this image. I think it says a lot in just a few lines and I hope that no matter what happens, you never forget those that fell that day and those that took it upon themselves to save others and help in any way they could.

Thank you for stopping by today, I hope you remember, I know I always will.

Oldie But Goodie Day at Bugaboo!

Today is Thursday, which means that today is Oldie But Goodie day at Bugaboo Stamps! Now Oldie But Goodie Day means that team members are sharing creations they made using stamps that are not new, but those good ol' stamps that are a part of the Bugaboo Stamps collection!

For my card today I decided to use this fun image, Dottie -Beach! I am trying to make the summer as long as I can! Yes, it is still super hot here, but I do enjoy the summer so much. I used some of my Echo Park Summer Days DP, perfect way to extend this season if you as me!

I had so much fun with this, I hope you enjoy my card and be sure to hop on over to the Bugaboo Blog to check out the rest of the Design Teams creations! I do hope you like my Oldie But Goodies today, I am still having so much fun with these images! Have a great day all!
