Sentimental Sundays #17 - Inspiring

Welcome back for a new challenge with Sentimental Sundays. This is challenge #17, and the theme this week is: Inspiring Words - Words to Inspire

I've used a sentiment by Ann (Raindrop Echo Designs) on my project, and this is from her 'On Thoughts' set from Whimsy . I've also used the 'Looking at You' image designed by Gillian Roberts (Stampavie), flowers by Prima, and black pearls from Queen and Co. Don't forget to check for a free set of sentiments on the Sentimental Sundays blog, you don't want to miss them!

Be sure to use a sentiment somewhere on your card or project, and to follow the theme however you may interpret it. While Ann (Raindrop Echo Designs) offers fabulous freebies, and also sells a wide variety of sentiment stamps at Whimsy Stamps, you are free to use any sentiment. Be sure to link up on the Sentimental Sundays blog before the next challenge to be in the running for a fabulous prize, and use a direct link to make it easy for us to find your new card or project.

A Touch of Christmas #15

This is week #15 of A Touch of Christmas. I know...you aren't worried just yet, but I am never ready for the holidays so I will just keep at for now!

I recently purchased this Penny Johnson stamp (Stampavie) called 'Looking Chic'. Is she not cute with her puppy? So this is more of a Winter card than it is a Christmas card, but it will be nice for just saying hello during anyone's cold season. The cardstock is Papertrey Ink, and the DP is Christmas paper from American Crafts (gotta love that touch of the non-traditional). She's colored with Copics, the die cuts used are Nestabilities, the ribbon is Offray (yes, of course I used the Bow Easy to make the bow!), and the little brown pearls are from Recollections.

I'm entering this card in two challenges:
Stampin' for the Weekend #36: Ribbons and Bows
OCC Challenge: Use Bows

Natural Boy - Relax Card

The little guy is a Lelo Design stamp (Stampavie). I followed a recipe and a sketch to put the card together. The recipe is from Die Cut Dreams, and you can find that: HERE
While I’m too late to enter the challenge, I did use this past week’s sketch from Get Sketchy, and that can be found: HERE

What I used:
Stamp is Natural Boy (Stampavie)
DP is Lime Rickey (Basic Gray)
Ink is stamped with Versafine on PTI paper, Markers are Copic
Ribbon (Offrey), Gems (Darice), Dew Drops (The Robin’s Nest)

Thanks so much for stopping by!
