Here is my card and hopefully some more inspiration.....
I wanted to play along with The Paper Players and Retro Sketches as well
Both fun challenges with TONS of DT inspiration!!

 

So this is what I came up with....

A sweet mini 4x4 card using the stamp sets Tiny Treasure and Mad Gab from The Alley Way Stamps and the colors green, brown and blue from the photo.
The LO of this card is based on the sketch from Retro Sketches~ which also happens to be a fellow TAWS DT'er! How cool is that!! Plus Kim's card is way ADORABLE and such a great inspiration!!
Finally the baby card is for The Paper Players challenge which is CAS w/buttons and bows for baby. It just so happens that we found out a friend of ours is expecting a baby in June...looks like this card is going off to Brian and his wife :)
I embellished the card with buttons from my stash, some sewing around the mat and Trendy Twine in Holly Green and Chocolate Sprinkles.
Finally the papers I used for this card include a new find for me~ Bazzill Rope Swing...its textured with polka dots!! The designer paper is from First Edition Paper~Up,Up and Away collection

That is all I have for you today!!

Thanks so much for stopping by,hope to see you play along in our challenge!!!

And Have a GREAT Friday!!!

I Heart You w/Trendy Twine

Good Morning Everyone!!!
It is my DT day over on the Trendy Twine blog and I am very excited to share my project with you all!
This month we are featuring 
 Cherry Cupcake Trendy Twine 
A beautiful mix of Pink and Red Bakers Twine

Since Valentine's Day has come and gone for another year we can not forget about sharing those "heart you" cards throughout the rest of the year as well....
So this is the card I made for just that occasion!!

I went with my favorite design~CAS and used a file from the Silhouette store for the adorable cut of the kiddo's.
Instead of using the original heart that came with the cut, I used a Fiskars heart punch~ one that was larger than the original heart and used the Cherry Cupcake twine to fill it in.
I really wanted the heart to be the focal point on the card!!

Here is a chose-up of the twine heart. I ended up adding glossy accents to the whole thing...it looks so pretty as shiny and as an added bonus...keeps the twine together :)
I also added a tiny bow to the little girls ponytail....LOVE the splash of color the twine gives this card~Don't you???
Finally the sentiment is from The Alley Way Stamps~ Mad Gab Stamp set!
It is a newbie stamp set for me and I LOVE all the fun sentiments :)

On a final note don't forget about the February challenge over at the Trendy Twine Blog.
