Today's Daily SPS Inspiration with Heather - Card

Good morning! Heather here from Houses Built of Cards to share some inspiration this morning! I had so much fun making my card to share with you today!
I have been enjoying seen the Speech Bubble trend, and decided to pull out my Silhouette Cameo and Designer Edition Software and create a card using a Speech Bubble. I used files from the online store for the speech bubble, and also the words inside. 
My pattern papers are from Glitz Designs and Echo Park Paper company. The stone colored background paper is from Glitz Designs 6x6 Yours Truly paper pad, and the black and white chevron on the bottom is from Glitz Designs 6x6 Cashmere Dame paper pad. The off white I used for the speech bubble is a 12x12 Echo Park page from "Play Ground" (Cloud/Grass Stain), the red for the heart is a 12x12 Echo Park page from "Season's Greetings" (Red/Cream), and the blue in the background and for the word love is also a 12x12 Echo Park page from "Holly Jolly Christmas" (Winter Green/Icicle Blue)
I attached the top half of the sentiment with foam adhesive for a bit of dimension, then attached the bottom half directly to my speech bubble.  
I then attached that to my layered card base, also with foam adhesive. Finished off with a tiny wood veneer figure in the bottom right that I colored with a Copic marker to coordinate with my card, and added just a tiny bit of red bling.  
Thanks for stopping by today! Have a wonderful weekend!

  Hello!  This is June Houck with a little Thursday inspiration for you.  I am ready to put away my bold Winter papers for some brighter and happier Spring papers.  These Doodlebug "Hello Spring" patterned papers, twine, pearls and Doodlebug Bazzill card stock (purple) were just the ticket to put a smile on my face.

Some Pumpkin Spice Daily Inspiration from Cheryl– Card

Hello! This is Cheryl.  For my project today, I created a card that fits the current Pumpkin Spice challenge, “Time”. We would love to see your project with either a word or element that implies time.

I have to admit I was a bit stumped by the challenge at first. I could only think of clocks and watches, but I didn’t have any stamps that would fit. I finally had my “Ah ha!” moment and thought about looking up a quote about time. I found this quote from John Lennon that I really liked and the idea for my card grew from there and these beautiful Pebbles Inc. papers.

I love these new papers from Pebbles, Inc. The colors are so bright and cheery, I had to use them to chase away the spring gloom we have right now. I love each of the 18 patterns (2 pages of each) included in the 6x6 pad.

Today's Daily SPS Inspiration with Missy: Card

Good morning everyone!
Today is my day to share some fun Shop Pumpkin Spice inspiration with you!!  I made a card using the super cute Neapolitan Bean Bisque paper from Jillibean Soup!!


I fell in love with these super cute telephone and number button papers in this paper pad!! The old retro phones and colors remind me of a phone I had in my house when I was growing up---when I was VERY YOUNG, I might add!!! I added some cute Lemondrop twine from the Twinery as well as a great little "Hello" sentiment from My Pink Stamper.

If you get a chance, be sure to head on over to the SPS store!!  The every day prices can't be beat, super speedy shipping---and a TON of stuff is on sale!!  We've also got a "Time" challenge going on this week that you can join in!!  Thanks for stopping by!!

I am having to post this from my iPad since my poor computer is at the Apple store.
The only thing I couldn't figure out was how to get the photo in? I had to borrow my hubby's laptop, at least he was here with it!
Can't seem to get my computer to Restore all of my files, applications and such. I am just sick about this right now :( this is why I procrastinated doing the recall on my IMAC.

Have a great Day!

Today's daily inspiration with Tanya - Card

Happy Sunday everyone!  Tanya here on this beautiful Vermont morning to bring you some inspiration.  My card today doesn't have a sentiment or image but I love the simplicity of it and will add the perfect sentiment once I found out what I want to use the card for :)


For my card today I used black cardstock as my base and for the matting, papers from "Be You" by Fancy Pants and added some ribbon :)
