Here's a close up my little chipboard tree by Magistical Memories. I inked the raw chipboard up using a variety of chalk inks and then backed it with some fun patterned papers. I added some shiny pearl brads and a cute little Whimsy bird stick pin!

I also used a few more Whimsy products... like the big textured buttons and a cute little apple pin...

Mission 028: Celebrate!

Our challenge this week for Mission to Create was to use:

Deborah: use denim

Jocelyn: use 2 stick pins

Nicole: splats
Vanessa: rhinestones

Melissa: orange

This was the hardest challenge for me so far... I just couldn't find any denim to use. So for me, I used the last 4 concepts of the mission this week...

Happy Birthday
supplies: stamp, myStampBOX; patterned paper, Lucky 7 Factory; cardstock, Prism; edge punch, Martha Stewart; twine, The Twinery; shaped label, Pretty Little Studio; rose lace, Maya Road; mists, Tattered Angels; gem pin, Making Memories; cupcake pin, My Little Bit of Whimsy; other, ribbon, thread.

I love the end result of this card. It's so bright but kinda pretty too!

This is really a wonderful prize worth playing for!!

Butterfly Dreams

This week over at Creative Prompts 4U is what Debbi's turn to share a prompt. This week she chose to inspire us using a beautiful ad photo. You can see the photo here.

Here's the card I created using this week's prompt... I took inspiration from the colours, the overall design and the butterflies of course!

Miss You

For my card I used some fun myStampBOX stamps. For the circles, I used the set Funky Circles and the sentiment in the center is from the Small Greeting set. I also used one of the butterfly images from the Colorful Companions sets and backed them with a Spellbinder's die cut shape.
If you join us this month and create a project using one of this month's prompts, you could win a gift certificate to the My Little Bit of Whimsy store!

Wish

I saw the newest card sketch and challenge at Let's Capture Our Memories blog go up the other day and I knew I needed a special birthday card so I thought I would give it a go this week.

You can see this week's sketch by Sandi here and her challenge was to include some kind of leaves on your card... easy!

May Your Wish Come True

I used some of my fabulous myStampBOX stamps on my card this week. I just adore the landscapes on the Neighbourhoods stamp set and the card sentiments in Oval Office are awesome! I also used one of the fun flower shapes from Funky Flowers to create the fun star burst effect on the oval.
