New Fusion Challenge-Butterflies

Hi my friends!

It's time for another challenge over at Fusion (HERE). If you are looking for the winners you can find them HERE.

Loving this weeks inspiration and sketch. They meshed so perfectly!

Here is this weeks challenge inspiration and sketch
How to play:
1. Play with just the sketch challenge.
2. Play with just the inspiration photo challenge.
3. Or you can create FUSION by combining BOTH challenges into one card.
4. Use the challenge graphic and link back to Fusion in your post.
5. Please read the other considerations on the Our Rules Page before playing along.
Here is my take on the sketch
I used a beautiful butterfly paper that i had in my stash then added a layer of vellum and real wood paper. I stamped a little sentiment from Sweet Stamp Shop, added some ribbon and finished off with a flower and pins. I just love the way that this turned out. The real wood paper is so much fun to use and I think the look of it is so unique. Did you know you can even emboss on it??? Yep, it looks quite gorgeous :)

Here is the stamp set I used, Elegant Sentiment. You can find it HERE. (PS...did you see the brand new release yesterday??? Let's just say AMAZING!!!!)

 Ready to play along now? Just go HERE to join in the fusion fun and make sure to check out all the other girls....here they are:

XOXO

Hello Everyone!!

Have you guys checked out the NEW SRM Muslin bags and Burlap Bags, yet??  I am totally in love with them. They are so versatile and fun to play with. I got to bring one home to make a sample with to put up at my work. I decided to use the muslin bag and went with a Love theme. Not only is it getting close to Valentine's day but I am simply in LOVE.  :)

 This bag was so easy to make and only takes few minutes and a few supplies:
1) Muslin Bag and Love Sticker Sentiment- SRM
2)Ribbons and Jute- I used one from Maya Road and Webster's (just dug thru my stash)
3)Felt
4)Needle and Thread
4)Optional- Cardstock for backing sticker. I used black felt, so I needed something to pop the sentiment.

How To:
I trimmed my ribbons to fit my bag and glued down. ( I added a zigzag stitch to my blue ribbon to give the look of being stitched to the bag.) Looped some jute a few times and used needle and thread to stitch to the bag. Since there was a knot I wanted to make sure it stayed on the bag. Then I hand cut two hearts out of black felt. On the big heart I stitched around the perimeter. Then glued the hearts down to the bag. I finished off with my "xoxo" sentiment and adhered to the big black heart. 

Isn't that so sweet? Want to change it up? You could easily add a birthday sentiment or EVEN, a welcome baby  type sentiment... Oh man I could go crazy with these bags :)

I am also adding this to the Runway Inspired Challenge. The colors pair so nicely and the ribbons remind me of the flow-y/ruffle-y-ness of the bottom of her dress.

All You Need Is Love

Hello Everyone! Hope Everyone's morning has been wonderful!

I had some extra time this weekend and decided to play along with a couple challenges. I wanted to go a little out of my comfort zone so I played along with Dynamic Duos. The colors this week are pool party and Pink Pirouette...or more simply put...Pink and Mint. I am not typically a pink girl at all. I hardly ever craft with it, but I was loving the inspiration that the girls had put up. So, I gave it a go. I am also pairing it with Curtain Calls "Love Letter".

Go HERE to play along too


Go HERE to play along too.


So there it is folks. I LOVED how this card turned out. I used some of my stash that hadn't been touched for awhile including some old October Afternoon rub ons and some of my Favorites. :) I used Sweet Stamp Shops Chalkboard Sign, some Twine from the Twinery, Heidi Swapp Color Shine, and for the Sentiment I used SRM's Love Sticker Sentiment.

Thanks for stopping in. :) Have you played along with any challenges this week? I would love to see what you have been working on. Just leave me a link in your comment for me to check it out :)

Happy Crafting
