Wedding Party Cards

Just wanted to share some wedding party cards I have been making for various clients. Click HERE to see my Etsy shop! Any ideas or feedback is welcome here...

DIY Weddings Feature

I was fortunate enough to meet someone who is planning her wedding with DIY or handmade items. This is going to make for a beautiful wedding. She has started a blog about all things DIY for weddings! I wish I would have thought of it, what a great idea. Be sure to check out her blog HERE. She included my "will you be my bridesmaid" cards as a feature!

There is tons of great information and links to shops where you can find loads of great handmade goodies.

Be sure to check out her wonderful Etsy Shop, Bricheese

This is a super cute handmade jewelry holder! Looks like she is having a sale too!
Thanks for stopping by and be sure to check out my Etsy shop!

PDCC42 and Etsy Inspired 101 combined challenge

This is the second week I have combined these two challenges together. It seems to double my inspiration. So thank you to both Play Date Cafe and Etsy Inpired Blogs for hosting these super fun challenges.

My Card:


The Play Date Cafe Challenge this week is this great color scheme. (Love the photo too, but who need THAT many camels?)


For Etsy Inspired the inspiration is this adorable shop called Lover Dovers. I love the retro deer in the christmas apron. The Snow White inspired apron reminded me of Snow White in the woods with all the woodland creatures...



Speaking of Christmas.... I am having a summer clearance in MY Etsy shop to clear out some of my Christmas stock. Please take a look!


Check out all the other great entries on both blogs. Thanks for looking, your comments are always welcome!

CAS - tastic and PDCC 41 Combined Challenge

Before I get into the challenge I am hosting my first GIVEAWAY on my blog! Not many people have entered so you still have a great chance to win. The prize is a card package from my Etsy shop.

Now on to the challenge:
Since I am all about foxes right now, I had to use a fox for this card. I combined two challenges this time. I very excited about both.

For the CAS-tastic challenge (see their super cute blog HERE). They had 4 cards for inspiration (so hard to choose!). I chose this one by their design team member Maylee, she the inspiration card HERE.


For The Play Date Cafe Challenge (see their awesome blog HERE) the challenge is to use this great color palette.



So here is my card!!


Thanks for peeking!

Etsy Inspired Challenge #100 & Embellish Magazine

Quick Announcement! I am doing my first Blog Giveaway, you can enter HERE. The prize is a card package from my Etsy shop. Not many have entered yet so you have a good chance to win!


Now on to the Challenge!
Congrats to Etsy inspired blog for their 100th challenge! Participating in these challenges has helped me so much in "unblocking" a clogged creative pipe in my head. Thank you for providing these great challenges and introducing me to such great Etsy Shops!
I wanted to do a combined challenge. I wanted to be true to both challenges (which is a challenge in itself). So this week I combined with a great challenge from Embellish Magazine. See their great blog HERE.

My Card:

For the Etsy Inspired challenge the shop is Cathy Walters. She makes super cute pendants. All the items were so beautiful I actually picked more than one for inspiration.










Embellish Magazine's challenge was this gorgeous color pallet and birds.

I am especially proud of this card because I actually scanned in a bird image from a bird field guide I bought at half price books for $2. I combined it with a beautiful font I have and printed it on watercolor paper. I am really happy with how it turned out.



Thanks for taking a look. Be sure to check out my Etsy Shop!

Preppy Card Challenge #9 and #10 - 10 cards in 10 weeks

This is my last installment of my Preppy Challenge 10 cards in 10 weeks. My friend Elle is wrapping up her What Preppy Wore Challenge too. Click HERE to see the latest installment. The end of these challenges mean that Elle is moving away =(

I will show cards #9 and #10 and then a recap of the entire challenge. Basically Elle picked an inspiration piece for me from the world of fashion weekly.

I would be super thrilled if you leave a comment and let me know which ones are your favs. My fav is the "preppy on the green" card #3, I also really like #7.

10 Cards in 10 Weeks - Week 6 and 7 - Preppy inspired cards

I fell behind with my preppy inspired challenge so this post include week 6 and week 7! To see how Elle is doing on her "What Preppy Wore" Challenge click HERE.

Elle is moving away very soon so each card signifies one week closer to her departure. We went shopping this weekend and she got some super cute outfits, but she can't wear them for her challenge because her rules say she can't wear anything new. (maybe I can talk her into breaking that rule, because she bought a maxi dress that is super cute!)

To Recap click these links to see Card 1, Card 2, Card 3, Card 4 and Card 5

Anyway... Here is inspiration for week #6 chosen by Elle:
