A CASE of Ribbon Carousel The Alley Way...

CASE Study Card

As soon as I saw this weeks gorgeous CASE Study card, I knew I had to make a "Bee all you can bee" card :)  The "B" is based on Basic Grey monogram letters, cut from Echo Park Country Drive paper, pop-dotted on Bella honeycomb impressioned cardstock.  I reverse stamped this cute bee from The Alley Way ei-ei-o, and the sentiment is comprised of "bee"tween, "a"re + sti"ll", "you", "con"gratulations (changing to the o to an a) all from The Alley Way Chatterbox and Jibber Jabber.  The bees trail is created from Divine Twine, and I added some pewter Kaisercraft Pearls to personalise the Prima Sun Kiss flower - not quite homemade, but at least home embellished, for the Ribbon Carousel Fancy Flowers Challenge.

Don't forget there's still time to apply for TAWS DT and Papercraft Gallery Idol 2012.

Best of Luck!

There She Goes with Ribbons...

Whilst I'm waiting for my There She Goes stamps (even more tempting with their 15% off sale), I thought I'd join in this weeks Colour Challenge of Olive, Rose and Razzleberry with papers from MME Lost and Found Two in Blush.  I love this olive crushed velvet ribbon I've been saving for a rainy day - well a special occasion anyway.  I slightly adapted this weeks gorgeous Ribbon Carousel Sketch and added a button-centred flower.  I feel it could have benefitted from some stitching, to keep with the theme - but I just don't trust my machine - or perhaps my sewing ability!

I hope your day is a special occasion!

Cafe Mojo...

Loved this great colour combo from The Playdate Cafe this week, juniper, mint and vanilla - makes me hungry just thinking about it!  Mojo Monday has been flooded with inspiration this week too - not surprising with this gorgeous sketch. Tried out my stamp with Teal StazOn ink, and had a play with lace and bling and textured with patterns and layering instead of embossing - tempting me back to scrapping ;)

Good friends moving interstate today, and as I keep telling DS, our friends will always remain in our hearts :)

PS.  Woo hoo, just found out I received a "Cream in our Coffee" for this weeks challenge :)
