Verve's Little Things

Good Morning!

It's so quiet in my house. I'm not used to it....lol

Chloe is off on her 4 day teepee trip to the mountains and probably having a blast!

Last weekend I sat down to case a card of Lauren's here.

I loved the colours and how she blocked the colours. I could have totally cased it as I have all the MTME stamps from my DT days there but that wouldn't be right.

So I pulled out my all time favourite set from VERVE!

Petals & Stems was one of my very first sets and one I LOVE very much!

Stamps: Petals & Stems; Cardstock: White, Green, Yellow, Melon, Retired SU dp; Inks: Old Olive, So Saffron, Melon Mambo, Pink, Black; Accessories: Ribbon, Pompom Trim, Corner Chomper, Sewing, Dimensionals

I took advantage of some quiet time last night after dinner to make a card using the Mojo191 sketch.

Anything big and exciting happening?

I'm going to relax and stamp while watching the race today.

One Person SSS108

Hello!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Blogger doesn't have any more issues ;)

This week the Sweet Stop has another wonderful sketch with an optional twist....stamped backgrounds!

I pulled out a couple of Verve sets.

I stamped the leaf images from Bloom & Grow in Old Olive ink.

The sentiment comes from One Person.

This was a different style for me but I'm liking the shabby vintage look.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Have a GREAT weekend!

Dude You're So Cool

A couple of days ago the new My Mind's Eye Lime Twist papers arrived in my mailbox!

I am loving them! So fun!

Chloe will be needing a birthday card for a friend soon and thought these papers would be okay for an 11 year old??

I used the SCS sketch #332 for my layout.

Stamps are from Verve and I used two sets.

Dude and Happy Days.

Pretty simple card and the only embellishing was the stitching.

Ribbon Carousel Challenge - Shabby Chic

Hello!

I'm extremely excited to be participating in my first Ribbon Carousel Challenge!

This week the challenge is shabby....vintage....shabby chic. Keywords are RCC2.

Ok I admit....I wanted to panic at first. I don't do shabby, chic or vintage. Now it's not that I don't {heart} the look, it just looks complicated and I figured I wouldn't be able to pull it off.

What do you think?

Did I distress enough? Make it shabby enough? Use the right elements?

I decided on some pretty Girls Paperie papers to get started.

Then I added in some wonderful dies and a pretty Verve sentiment from the Hope Blooms set.

Stamps: Hope Blooms; Cardstock: Kraft, Pink Pirouette, Girls Paperie DP; Inks: Black; Accessories: MFT Scallops, MFT Notebook Edge, Verve's Vintage Oval Die, Verve's Classy Label Die, Pearls, Sewing Machine, Lace, Ribbon, Prima Flower, Dimensionals

I bet you are excited to see what the other girls have created, right?

Pop on over to the Ribbon Carousel Challenge Blog and play along for your chance to win a prize!
