Playing along with my Etsy Inspired Friends!

It's been a while since I have played along with the Etsy Inspired team but this week they are being sponsored by E.A.D Designs so of course I wanted to play along! 

So if you don't know how this works you can get more info over on the Etsy Inspired blog but basically you take inspiration from a selected Etsy store and link your project back to the Etsy Inspired blog.  Etsy is full of so many talented artists and amazing products the possibilities for this blog are endless! 

This week's Etsy shop is ImagineStudio.  It is filled with so many beautiful photographs! 

I choose to use "Indian Summer" as my inspiration.


Here is my card.  I decided to play off of the red color and forest theme.
(sorry for the bad photo...cell phone)


Sentiment is from the Saying Hello Stickerz.

Be sure to check out the Etsy Inspired Challenge to see what E.A.D Designs products you can win!

 My daughter loves the "Fairies" Stickerz sheet.  I made this card because the colors reminded me of spring and I can just give it to her anytime as a little I love you card. 

 Yesterday she bought these flowers at the farmers marker for her sister and me...so sweet and perfect for my spring post today!

Now put a little spring in your step and see what the creative Lauren has in store for you today.

Paper Smooches and E.A.D Designs Happy Birthday Sentiments!


It's time for some more fabulous Paper Smooches Sentiments. This months theme is birthdays!  Remember these come printed in any color E.A.D Designs vinyl or in the E.A.D Designs Stickerz form.

You can find all the Paper Smooches sentiments HERE



 Here is my card!  I used the Music Doodles Stickerz for the outside of the card along with an iTunes gift card.  I even placed a sticker on top of the gift card.  Before I show you the sentiment....this birthday card is for  a 12 year old girl who is addicted to adding apps to her ipod...so......


 I took one of the fabulous Paper Smooches sentiments and tweaked it a little.  I know...I'm so punny :P
(Happy birthday a day early Allie!)


I hope you try some of these wonderful sentiments for yourself!
