You're old...embrace it

Good morning again! I was SOOO excited the other day to finally get my hands on this ADORABLE stamp set from Tim Holtz - called Bird Crazy. I have been seeing them pop up everywhere in my news feed on cards! So the day they arrived, I quickly sat down to color one up, and play along with a couple of challenges:

I used my color inspiration from this month's Eyelet Outlet Color Challenge (if you haven't played along, I know there haven't been very many entries - and the prize is a fun package of Eyelet Outlet goodies, so you're odds of winning are pretty good! You don't even have to use any Eyelet Outlet product to play along - so what are you waiting for?)

Also linking up with this weeks Simon Says Wednesday Challenge - Things that Fly:

I hadn't tried before to blend two completely different colors with Copics - I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I added a sentiment from a Paper Smooches Happy Birthday set - thought it was super fun to go with the Saying Bubble Brad. Added some random coordinating papers from my stash, a few Eyelet Outlet Enamel dots, and a bit of jute twine to finish it off!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful day today!

Eyelet Outlet Sketch Challenge

Hi there! Just popping by to share the card I made for the brand new Sketch Challenge over at Eyelet Outlet - there are currently no entries, so I hope you'll head on over there and play along! Chances of winning a prize are pretty great at the moment! 

Here is the sketch:

How many Eyelet Outlet Goodies can you spy on my card? There are a lot more than just brads and eyelets available at Eyelet Outlet! I used the fun new Sunglass Brads and 10 mm White Pearl Brads - along with some of the Pink Paper Flowers, Pink 4 mm Pearls Strips, and my favorite - the new Enamel Dots! These are seriously beautiful - so many fun colors, and such a fabulous deal!

I hope you will stop by and check out the challenge and play along! Have a great afternoon!!!

Tools for Dad

Good morning! Just sharing a card that posted last week on the Eyelet Outlet blog!

I used some of the cute hammers from the Tool Brads set as well as some of the fun new Enamel Dots - SUCH a fabulous deal on those! I'm addicted to enamel dots, and these are amazing!!! You can see it peeking out a little on the first card, but I also added some strips of two different washi tapes (HERE and HERE) to the inside to make that coordinate with the front. Pattern paper is from Crate Paper, and I used MFT inks with a combination of Paper Smooches, Avocado Arts, and Unity Stamps.
