Riley Calendar Page

Today I am sharing with you a calendar page I created for my yearly calendar with my group of friends. This is the second year that we each created pages for two months out of the year for the group and sent them to the others. It is an excellent way to get a fun and unique calendar since we each have a different style.

I created the April and June months this year, and my June calendar page uses the adorable Seaside Sophie! I picked up this stamp at my LSS and I just love her, she is so much fun and she was a blast coloring! I think she looks darling in this pink bathing suit with this fabulous big hat on her head and of course she is building a sand castle.

I also am entering this cutie into the current Riley and Company Challenge - Anything Goes. I wish I got the chance to play along in more of the the Riley Challenges this year, but maybe I can play along with the challenges more next year. Thank you so much for stopping by, I do hope you enjoyed my calendar page! Have a great day!

I had so much fun working with this fabulous image, she is super sweet and so much fun to work with. I decided to use three darling mulberry paper flowers as my three items, I think it really finishes this off nicely.

Crafty Sentiments Designs Challenge - Red, White & Green!

Today kicks off a brand new challenge at the Crafty Sentiments Designs Challenge! This week Team "A" is sharing with you our creations for the challenge, "Red, White & Green"!

I had so much fun with this week's challenge! I decided to feature the adorable digital image called Christmas Penguin, isn't he just too cute! For my red, green and white I used this great paper from Doodlebug Designs called North Pole and used a dark green card base and white paper to make the main image really become the cards focus. I also tied this all together with some lovely red satin ribbon and some darling goosebumps.

I do hope you enjoyed my creation for today, be sure to head on over to the Crafty Sentiments Designs Blog and check out the rest of the fabulous DT samples and of course to enter in on the fun! Have a fabulous day and thank you for stopping by!

Fun 'n Flair Inspiration!

Good morning! Today I get the chance to share with you a bit of inspiration I created featuring some of the fabulous stamps from Fun 'n Flair! If you haven't seen these stamps yet you are going to fall in love with Selina's amazing illustrations. We recently released two fabulous new winter themed stamp sets that you need in your collection!

I have been having a blast with these stamps, they are a clear polymer and they give such a great impression when you stamp. I know that some clear stamps are a bit challenging to work with, but these are truly a delight to stamp with, lots of crisp clean lines! I used the adorable mouse image from the stamp set Miss Shayla at Christmas Time, this little guy makes me smile! I thought a trio of mice would be perfect for this holiday card. I colored each in a different shade, but kept the two flanking cups the same.

Thank you for stopping by today to see my creation. I do hope you enjoyed what you saw and that you will stop by again soon! Have a fabulous day!
