Hello Pumpkin Spice Friends,

Woot Hoot.... Congratulations Heidi of Live for Scrappin

Are you Ready for the next Challenge??

Today's Challenge: Blue and White and something Round!

Make something with the colors Blue and White (other colors are welcome also) and an element that is Round (could be a button, brad, sticker... whatever)! Be creative and have fun!

Here is my project...

I tried three different inks before I found the one I liked. 

Paper is from Paper Heart by Crate Paper, Inks are Stormy Sky (top), Texas Chocolate (left), and Peacock Feathers.  I ended up liking the Stormy Sky best for the stamped image and then the Peacock Feathers for the edges. 

These are little 2.5 x 2.5 Thank you cards for packages.  I think they turned out cute.  Really love the Stormy Sky with this paper.

Today's Daily SPS Inspiration from Denine - Card

Hello Everyone,

Denine here bringing you some quick cards.  I am a big procrastinator, so most of my cards are on the fly... last minute.  I have great intentions to spend a whole day putting together a BUNCH of cards, so I have them handy. That DAY never seems to show up.

Anyhow, here are two cuties I put together while my grandbaby sat in my lap. 

Didn't they turn out cute??  I went with non-traditional Valentine papers because I actually wanted to send them to my hubby's office as 'just because'. 

I combined 2 stamp sets - Bee Mine by Paper Smooches and With Love by Whimsical Design.  They worked great together.  I also used Texas Chocolate ink - love this ink.  My papers are from Traditions and Beautiful Moments - both by Carta Bella.  Carta Bella is one of my favorite paper lines right now.  The texture on their 12 x 12 cardstock is so rich.  I also used Dark Suede Brown Bazzill cardstock which also has a texture.  I would have to say this particular cardstock is my go to as a layer.  The color seems to go with EVERYTHING. 

Here are my other 2 cuties that played with me while I was putting these together. (notice the matching jammies.... hehehe)

Happy Friday and Come back tomorrow for our Weekly Challenge... they are so much fun.  There is still time to enter this weeks Challenge - Coffee/Tea/Cocoa... come play with us.

Hugs,
