Any Direction You Choose…..

Challenge - Anything Goes, High Hopes Stamps, One Crazy Stamper, , , ,

Hi OCS fans;

Welcome to another crazy Tuesday as well as a crazy week.  This is the last week of school for the children and their summer adventures await them.  For today’s card, I tried to achieve a bit of free spirit with children going in any direction they choose.


I used the High Hopes Stamps called Biking Buddies and Patty’s Posies and used the Dr. Suess quote “Any Direction You Choose“.  The main images were cut out and mounted with Action Wobbles.  The Sparkly Teal YNS Gumdrops down the middle of the design paper is meant to be a sort of path that they can follow.

Hello and welcome back OCS fans, to another crazy Tuesday;

As school will be done in a couple of weeks, this means that summer has arrived.  Children will be having some fun from no school work and this also means that this is the season for weddings.

For my card today, I have used the Just Married stamp and an awesome sentiment which says it all  from High Hopes Stamps.  I added some Nuvo Snow Glow Sparkle Dust around the border of the Scalloped Labels 1 Die as well as on her veil and dress.

Guest Designer Special Request

Guest Designer, Uncategorized, ,

I recently had a special request from a friend that was on my current design team to participate in their wonderful blog as a guest designer.

Karen Day from Inspired by All the Little Things asked me to post something that I was inspired by from the following photo:

For me a window box full of colourful flowers means that spring is here and that summer is almost here as well. Also spring signifies a new beginning as flowers and plants start to grow and then bloom for the rest of the summer.

The stamp is “Pansy Window Box Frame” which is from High Hopes Stamps, was coloured with Copic Sketch Markers. I trimmed the image down and used a 1/2′” corner rounder.  Rhinestones were added to the center of the flowers.  The paper is from Heartfelt Creations Butterfly Melody Collection.

 

Showers of love…..
