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.

Thanks for checking it out! Elle I am going to super miss you!!
