Hello Honey

I made this card a while ago (while camping I think) and thought I would share it today. I adore the Honey images from All That Scraps. This little girl with her cute long scarf wrapped neatly around her head is so much fun to color. I used some fun paper from on of my many Basic Grey 6x6 pads. Trying to use them up. And I went with some sponging which I think turned out pretty nice.

Stamps: Digi Scarf Honey
Paper: Basic Grey Kioshi 6x6 pad

CSS September Inspiration Blog Hop

Welcome to the CSS Inspiration Blog Hop. Carolina gave us this photo of a very inviting room from Ikea as our inspiration.

I love the texture on the headboard and bedspread. So that was my inspiration for my card. Sorry for the dark photo. We have not seen sun for days here in SE Pennsylvania.

I created the backdrop for the furniture with my Martha Stewart Score Board. I ran the chair through my Big Kick with a diamond embossing folder.

If you've been following the hop from the beginning, you should have come from Lori's blog. If not, you will want to start over at StampTV and follow the entire hop to be inspired. Then we invite you to play along and post your inspired creation over at StampTV.

Now head over to Peggy's blog next for more inspiration.

Growing Older

Have you seen the new line of absolutely adorable Color Kids from Paper Makeup Stamps. Did I say they are adorable? They are available in both rubber and digital stamps. Since they were just released last night, anyone ordering the rubber will have to wait for them to arrive in the mail. That is where digital images are a fabulous option. You can purchase the digital versions and have them right away. Just download and play. Now if you rush over to PMS to purchase this cutie you will notice he is facing the left instead of the right. Another cool thing about digital images. You can flip them. Which is what I did so I could add the Growing Old word art with the arrow pointing toward the little guy. I've had that tape measure ribbon for a while and finally had a chance to use it. Perfect with this image and the fun pencil paper. Oh, and speaking of digital stuff, that paper is digital too. Did you know you can buy all of Cosmo Cricket's papers in digital format. I love Cosmo Cricket and the Boyfriend collection is one of my favorites. You can find them here.

In case anyone is wondering, I found free publisher software that made it easy for me to print out the boy and the word art. It is called Page Plus Starter Edition and can be found here. It is a large download, but if you have broadband I recommend trying it out.
