Etsy Inspired #126 - Glow Girl



Time for some Saturday fun at Etsy Inspired. This week our featured shop is Glow Girl. (Love their name.....so kewl) :)

This shop is full of STYLISH & ECO-CONSCIOUS coupon organizers, tote bags, and reusable sandwhich bags.

Here's my inspiration

Love this Neon Bubble Coupon Holder

See the close up shot above of the little girl? She brings back fond memories for me. I used to rock the cute little "Afro Puffs" just like this when I was a little girl. Love the Puffs! :) :)

The paper and her polka dot dress remind

me of the bubble design in the inspiration piece.


These cards came with the Echo Park kit that I used.

I added some glitter letters to add some sparkle.

Happy Coffee Days!

I'm glad that everyone had fun with my "Slug Bug" layout yesterday. Love that game! Today is a card day!

I'm sooo trying to stay away from coffee these days. It's kinda hard when I get to play with the cute "Coffee? Tea?" stamp set from My Favorite Things Stamps. 

This card is for the sketch challenge we have going on over at Papercraft Star. I hope you will join us for some fun this week.

Here's the sketch from Liz Chidester:

I had fun using the sketch. I even incorporated stickers behind the stamped image, on the sentiment, and on the scallop border. I also used some cute "Play Date" paper from Stampin Up! 



I hope you all enter the challenge. We have great prizes up for grabs! Copic Markers is our Grand Prize sponsor this month.

Slug Bug! - No Tag Backs!

When my girls and I are out driving we love to play the "Slug Bug" game. My fave car in the world is the Volkswagen Bug! I'm dreaming of buying a "Yellow" one some day! 

I made a fun layout and used the Sketchy Thursday's sketch. I'm also entering this in the "Fave Game" challenge going on over at These Are a Few of My Favorite Things  and also linking to Paper Issues. :) :)

I used a paper kit from Echo Park called Sweet Summertime.

The butterfly is so colorful. It's from K & Company.

I love the color of this Peace Sign. It fits in so well with the Slug Bug theme!

Had to add some flowers. They look so cute on a VW Bug.

And in case you don't know...this is how you play the "Slug Bug" game.

It's great for road trips.

This is a game in which people look for VW Beatles. Whoever sees one first gets to pick someone in the car to punch. Rules vary from car to car but the most common are:

-1 punch for a beatle
-2 punches for a VW bus ("double slugbug")
-If someone punches you and it turns out there was no beatle, you can tag back (give them a return punch).
-Once a car has been tagged on, it can't be reused until the car you're riding is has been turned off and turned back on.

You can modify these rules any way that you'd like. Just have fun with it! :)

Layout Supplies:
Patterned Paper (Echo Park - Sweet Summertime Kit); Butterfly & Flowers (K & Company - Girl Scout Felt Stickers); Peace Sign (LaPetites - 3D Stickers); Foam Alpha Letters (The Paper Studio)

Designing In Orange!

I'm so lovin' the color Orange lately. I had to use it this week for my DT project over at the "Tuesday Takes" card challenge at Sketches in Thyme.

For this challenge you are to use this FUN sketch from Mojo Monday.

I used up my stash on this one. I did use kraft cardstock as my base. The ribbon is from Martha Stewart Crafts. Still searching to find out who makes all of the other fun stuff that I used. Will let ya know if I find out. :) 

Now hop on over to Sketches in Thyme and link up your card. There is a great prize up for grabs. 

I'll be back later today to show ya a fun layout that I just finished. (I'm trying to do a layout a week from now on. Pray for me.) :)

Canvas Love Note!

My mojo is in high gear sooo... I found time to play along in two of my fave challenges before the weekend ends.

Here is a close up shot. Love these canvas hearts from Canvas Corp. 

I also used my square scallop punch on my paper and topped it with a heart button from Pink Paislee.  I'm loving twine lately. Had to add that too!

I'm entering my Canvas Love Note Card into the

Moxie Fab World - Tuesday Trigger challenge.

And the Embellish Challenge is back in full swing. 

Of course I had to enter there too! :)

Happy Super Bowl Sunday & Enjoy Your Weekend!

Etsy Inpired #125 - Daisy Petal Designs

We are having ice and snow in the southern Texas area. Not the normal weather for us at all. I'm praying that our warmer weather returns soon. 

At least I got to craft all day and have some fun making a new card for the Etsy Inspired Challenge.

This week we are putting the spotlight on Daisy Petal Designs. This shop is full of beautiful hair accessories and jewelry.

Here's what I made. My fave color is YELLOW, so I was inspired by everything in this beautiful bright color. I added a splash of yellow in my card!

I love the way fellow EIC DT member, Virginia Lu uses stickers on her cards. I had the perfect circle & heart stickers from Stampin Up and added them to the center of the flowers. Here's a close up shot of them.

Here are more of my faves in yellow from Daisy Petal Designs. 

 

Here's how you can play along with Etsy Inspired:

♥ Find an item that you like from Daisy Petal Designs.
♥ Create some cuteness!
♥ Link your creation up to EIC by Friday, Feb. 11th.

Once again we will have 2 winners this week. The shop winner will receive A pair of Vintage Glamour Earrings. Also if you shop at their Etsy shop this week you will receive 10% off. Just use the coupon code "inspired" at checkout. 

And the sponsor winner will receive any stamp set of your choice from Shannon's Sentiments.

Create a card using this Liz Chidester Sketch

I'm not skilled at using Copic markers yet so I decided to ink the MFT stamps using the pretty Melon Mambo from Stampin Up!

I also added Basic Grey buttons around the circle to add some pizazz to the card. 

I hope you all enter the challenge. We have great prizes up for grabs! Copic Markers is our Grand Prize sponsor this month.
