It's ETSY TIME!

Sadly it's my last week as a guest DT with the Etsy Inspired challenge team, I had such a fun month with them! I of course will continue to play along though. :)

This weeks Etsy Shop is Tony Carlisle's Photo Gallery. He takes wonderful photographs of many things, but a lot of them are nature focused. I used this photo of the moth on daisies as my inspiration. Don't forget to go to Heart Hugs Designs to play along for your chance to win an 8x10 photo!

Yes it's more of the Autumn Leaves Pretty Poppies Line, but it seems to work so well for many things! How could I not use it for this weeks challenge? It was a prefect match!

What I used:

Paper: Autumn Leaves Pretty Poppies

Ribbon: Autumn Leaves Pretty Poppies

Stamps: Unity's August KOTM (bird), Feb KOTM (journaling box) and Hey Chick sentiment

Ink: CTMH Cranberry and Black

Other: QK Mushroom, glitter glue, 3D foam

A Mini Album with EAD!

Welcome Welcome to the EAD blog hop! This week I decided to combine all the EAD rub ons I had and use them in a cute mini album for our neighbors. The neighbors have a beautiful garden that we can see from our deck and boy do they work hard! They also share freshly cut bouquets with us all summer long so I wanted to make them something to say thank you (you can see the card I made to go with it in this post here).

I hope they like it! I left the journaling spots blank so they could add a little bit of their thoughts to the album as well.

Don't forget to go see the other DT Projects this week

SMILE, it's FRIDAY!

I combined Unity Stamp Company's Hip Hop Challenges to make this card. The challenges were to use kraft and do some paper piecing. My "kraft" is actually a recycled cardboard insert but I love the way it turned out. Be sure to check out the Unity sales and other HHH post on the UNITY BLOG today!

This card is also a small preview of my next EAD Designs project as well, but you will have to come back on the 23rd to see that! Have a wonderful weekend and don't forget tomorrow is my next EtsyInspired Challenge project and it has some Unity on it! ;)

Supplies Used

Recycled Cardboard

Autumn Leaves Pretty Poppies Collection PP, Ribbon and Rub-ons.

Etsy Inspired #36 and Pretty Poppies!

This weeks Etsy Store is Dogbone Art and they have some petty cute stuff! I guess their shirts have been worn on the show Ace of Cakes! Check out Ashley's blog for all the info on how to play along and see a picture of the cute robot plushie they have donated to the winner. For my card I decided to go with the cupcakes that are all over their store. Everyone loves cupcakes and they even have PIRATE ONES!

My cupcakes aren't pirate related instead they are alien related! I had to ink up my new OBP stamps for this challenge. Aren't they cute!? They are called Planet Cupcake and Cupcake Creature. The Earth stamp is also OBP. I'm not sure what the paper brand is because it came in the Strongman Bundle I got from OBP. I thought this would make a fun birthday card with a silly saying on the inside. Like birthdays are like planet cupcake, calories don't count on them. Or something silly like that.

I received my package from Cath on Moxie Fab World the other day and WOW! She wasn't joking when she said the WHOLE Autumn Leaves Pretty Poppies collection. There is so much fun stuff here! I've been on a winning streak in blogland lately and I want to pass some of the fun on to you. So when my followers count hits 50 people (that's only 7 more), I will be giving away my own blog candy! Tell your friends to pop on over and follow my blog!
