Hey peeps! Just popping in with a reminder that you have a few more days to make your creations for the current Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge : Love Letter. I was once again inspired by “letters” and thought this sweet little envelope just had to make it onto my card! Head over to the blog for all the deets and more samples :) Our sponsor this time is Denami Designs.
Hello! Well, it’s happening again! The Festive Friday challenge is up and running again this year with the talented Design Team addition of my dear friend, Lynn! This challenge really helped me get my Christmas card stash in order last year so expect some Christmas cheer here every two weeks :) This year we’re just asked to be inspired! How lovely is that?! Here’s the first photo…
I was inspired by the neutral background with the gorgeous pop of red in the middle. Thanks for stopping by! I’m off to write 2 short papers today. I hope you have a fabulous day :)
Wow! Did this week fly by or what?! It’s TGIF and a new sketch and inspiration photo are up on the new Viva La Verve blog :) I was inspired by the neutral background with the pops of purple and yellow. That fabulous table made me think of stars so I made sure to include a couple of them :)
Head over to the Viva La Verve blog for all the details and some more samples…then head over to the Verve Store and check out the latest sale…it’s all about L-O-V-E!! Have a great start to your weekend!
Good morning! I came home Tuesday and just had to have a little break from work and school before hitting my nightly reading. I watched Dawn McVey’s PTI Make it Monday video and wanted to play along. I didn’t have a good PTI lined image, so I used one from Verve’s Great Friend. I broke out another new stamp…the sentiment from Ruby Red…oh, I love the mix of fonts! A little bling added some sparkle…not quite one layer, but close to it! Thanks for stopping by! I see a Friday just around the corner!
Good morning! Are you in the mood for love? I sure was making this card for the current Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge, Love Letter!
I love love letters! Nothing is sweeter than seeing those words of affection in print that you can read over and over again. This challenge also reminds me of a song that I first heard back in my twenties…Love Letters by Ketty Lester (follow the link to see it on You Tube if the video doesn't show up here!)
I just love it and was singing it as I made my card :)
Love letters straight from your heart, keep us so near while apart.
I’m not alone in the night, when I can have all the love you write.
I memorize every line and I kiss the name that you sign.
And darling then I read again right from the start,
Love letters straight from your heart.
Oh, does that bring back memories! No text or email or tweet could ever give me that feeling of reading a love letter, paper and ink, and knowing that the object of your affection actually “touched” the same paper. Ah, young love!
We have an awesome new sponsor, DeNami Design, who supplied each of the crew gals with a package of love-themed DeNami stamps!
The LEAD of the Love Letter challenge will receive a $20 gift certificate from DeNami Design! Head over to the Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge for more details and gorgeous samples from the Design Team!
Hi everyone! Just popping in with another card for the Papertrey Ink’s Make it Monday. I had to unwind after classes yesterday so I headed into the studio, picked a stamp, some paper and one of Dawn McVey’s favourite colour combos :) I also pulled out some old satin ribbon that perfectly matched the colour palette! Thanks for stopping by! Have a lovely Sunday :)
TGIF! It’s Friday and the start of my second semester! As much as I’ve enjoyed 4 weeks off from reading and paper writing, I have missed my cohort. PLUS the first class is always easy…no homework due! LOL Today’s card uses the new Viva La Verve sketch designed by Diva Teresa. I broke out some new BoBunny paper and flipped through my Verve stamp binders to find the images I wanted to use. I’m so happy to see the chalkboard look is still around so created another Occasion Frame chalkboard to layer under the Classy Label die. I love looking for other sentiments that can be used instead of the traditional Valentine’s ones. I thought this sentiment form Treasured Words fit that bill! I just love the way it fits perfectly onto the Classy Label shape :)
Did you know that the Viva La Verve challenge has its own blog now? PLUS any card you make all month long is eligible for the monthly grand prize of $100 in Verve GCs! The more you play, the more chances you have! I love it! Head over to the new VLV Blog and check out more samples of this week’s sketch!
