Path of Positivity - Sharing

Hello everyone. It is time to start another challenge over at Path of Positivity. Our theme this month is Sharing and our wonderful sponsors are Freshly Brewed Designs and Limited Runs.

Sharing is something we all learned in Kindergarten. It probably was much harder to do back then than it is now, but it is certainly an important lesson.  So today I am sharing a gift bag and matching card I made for my son's gift to his girlfriend. She is turning 18 this month so I sure hope she likes the little gift set. The gift is pretty nice too, but I don't want to blow that in case she stumbles upon my blog.

The image I use is called First Kiss and it is from Limited Runs. This is one I have had my eye on for a while, so I am happy to finally get my hands on it.

First Kiss

So if you have some time, we would love for you to share your creations with us this month. Hope to see you there.

For more fun and inspiration you an follow me on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter & Pinterest.

Path of Positivity - Mid Month Post - Laughter

Happy Monday! I am here to share with you my mid month inspiration for the challenge currently going on over at Path of Positivity.

Theme:  Laughter

We continue our laughter theme this month and thought that this beautiful flower with a Lady bug was perfect for the occasion. Now I may not get laughter, but I am sure to get a smile. Sunflowers always make me smile. They are my favorite flower.

This sentiment is from Created with TLC, which is a wonderful phrase and one to live by. 

So I hope that I have brought a smile to your face and that you take some time to join us over at our challenge this month. We have some wonderful prized and would love to see you create.

The Crafter's Cafe - Father Time

It is time for another challenge over at The Crafter's Cafe. Our theme this week is Time. So we would love to see you use a clock/watch in your projects. Our sponsor is Limited Runs and I got to work with the image called "Father Time."

I found the background on the web and printed it onto photo paper. I find with some of the pictures on the web, photo paper works better than just plain glossy paper. This will make a great Christmas or New Year's card.

So come along and play this week, I am sure you can find the "TIME". Would love to see what you create.

Suzy Bee's Bloomin Challenge - #21 White on White

Good morning! It is Saturday that means another challenge over at Suzy Bee's Bloomin Challenge.  This week our theme is white on white. So we want to see minimal color this week.

Our sponsor is Limited runs and I got to work with the image called Happy Easter Doodle

I used my spring Darice embossing folder for the background and cut another piece with my boarder die cut to give a 3D affect.  This is a very CAS card, with just a pinch of spring.

Hopefully this gives you just enough inspiration to play along this week. We would sure love to see your creations.

Go Large or Go Home

Have you heard of the saying "Go Large or Go Home?" Well, sometimes that is what you need when it comes to coffee, but these days you don't say "Large" you say "Venti."

This is one of the the digi stamps I won over at Limited Runs in their December Candy drawing. Every month they have a drawing where you can win 5 digis. I think that is a pretty good deal for just linking on to their site. There are a couple of rules, so make sure you check those out. The sentiment is from Dana's inspirations. She has a couple of Coffee sentiments, so check them out.

Better yet...Venti!!

There are a couple of challenges out there that the theme is food/drink. So I thought this would be perfect for some of those. Also Freshly Brewed is having a month long challenge going on called "Choose your challenge. You can either choose the sketch or the picture for inspiration. I already created a card using the sketch, now I will use the picture for my inspiration.

You can enter up to 5 times, and they do not require that you use one of their images. I recently won a challenge and I am waiting on my prize, which is 5 digis from Freshly brewed. I hope to get those soon and have enough time to enter at least one more time.
