This week the colors were chosen by Lynn!! 

Here's my card...

So, this card was made with a Spellbinders small die of the month- previously released. I had not given it any "love" but, my sweet teamie Lynn makes the most beautiful cards with Spellbinders flower dies... it inspired me to get this one out and create!!

You can see Lynn's creations here. The first one as you can see is gorgeous but, keep scrolling for more.

Pinkfresh Studio INSD

Soo... I used to scrapbook a lot and then, turned to stamping. Recently I started back again and am moving a bit slow on the creativity but, enjoying documenting life again!! I created this layout for Pinkfresh studio's INSD scrapbook blog challenge. It's about a trip we took to Linville Falls in NC- we stayed at the "Cowboys Retreat" home (decorated perfectly) with a hot tub the girls enjoyed immensely. 

I need a little practice photographing large layouts :-)  

Here's a couple close ups...

Wondering if I should cut off the gold thread on my vertical stripes??

Anywho... used lots of Pinkfresh goodies on this-

Tourist Mode- enamel dots, chipboard stickers, cardstock stickers

Fluttering Butterflies washi tape

Garden Bouquet chipboard frames

Life Right Now chipboard frames

Chrysanthemum chipboard flair

Curvy Leaves die set

Pinkfresh Studio April Challenge

I played along in the Pinkfresh Studio April Challenge. This month is all about flowers!! 

Here's my card. 

I have had this Magnolia Stamp, die, and stencil set for a while and it hadn't seen ink....  It was stamped with versamark and heat embossed with Brutus Monroe gilded gold. Using the coordinating stencils I blended in two shades of pink and die cut with the coordinating die. I also die cut in gold cardstock and layered behind the stenciled flowers. The background is the Overlapping Geo Leaf die- blended lightly in the corners. The sentiment is from a Create and Connect Event stamped in versamark and embossed in gilded gold. Added a few gold pearls. 

Hoping you have a great day and thanks for stopping by!!
