4CC #351 - Wedding {Tamie}

Happy Thursday!

Wow, this week has just sped by!  Can't believe it's almost the weekend.

Of course, I don't want to wish away Thursday because there's a new challenge up at 
4 Crafty Chicks!

Tamie is our hostess today and she has chosen the theme of Wedding cards for this week.



I had a lot of ideas for this challenge and this is what I finally chose:

Inside

Stamps: Marriage Sentiment outside and inside - Flourishing Phrases (Stampin'Up); Mr/Mrs-Perfect Pairs (Raisin Boat); Flower inside - Flourishing Phrases (Stampin' Up).
Paper: Brick pattern (Recollections); White cardstock; Pink Pirouette cardstock (Stampin'Up); silver paper (stash).
Ink: Pink Pirouette (Stampin'Up); Gray Flannel (Memento).
Extras: VW Die (Flora & Fauna); Stitched Rectangle die, Rounded stitched rectangle die and rounded tag (Lil Inker Designs); Scalloped rectangle die (WPlus9); pink candy dots (Stampin' Up).

I have to admit photographing this card was a journey in itself.  For some reason it just wasn't working yesterday.  One of those days!

Stop over at the Hen House and check out Tamie, Leanne, and Lori's projects then visit their blogs and leave them some blog love too.  We hope you'll ink up some stamps and play along this week and share your wedding themed cards with us!

Crafty Chick Blessings!

Paper Sweeties May 2017 New Release Sneak Peeks!

Happy Mother's Day!


It's Sneak Peeks Day
at
Paper Sweeties!
Nothing like almost missing the entire Sneak Peeks Day!  It's been a crazy few weeks for me.  Been dealing with a leaky roof since heavy storms three weeks ago and then also went out of town for graduation for my son and daughter inlaw.  Returned Thursday and it's been hectic again with roof/insurance people here, unpacking, errands, etc.  It was nice to get a way and have a break but life slammed us right on our return.  So finally, I have my post up for today!

There are several cute new sets this month:

The Design Team has some adorable projects for the first of three Release days for you to see.  Just hop through the names below:

Nancy Salkeld (You are HERE)
I was trying for a shadow effect to simulate the ball actually moving. I used the basketball and sentiment from the new set, Score, the stitched square from Window Elements and the star spray from Be Happy.

Tomorrow is Release Day and all the new stamp/die sets will be available in the Paper Sweeties Shop for you to shop til you drop!  So be sure and come back and see more fabulous inspiration from the team!

For Following Challenges:

I used Stamping, Splattering, and Masking

Paper Sweeties Plan Your Life Series - May 2017!

Happy Saturday!

It's the weekend 
AND
it's the start of 
Paper Sweeties Release Week!

Today is 
Plan Your Life Series!

The PS Planner Team has lots of fabulous inspiration for MAY planners ---

Nancy Salkeld (You are HERE!)

I decided to use a graduation theme for my planner this month. Our oldest son, Patrick, and our daughter-in-law, Helen, both graduated the first weekend this month from the University of Central Oklahoma. Patrick graduated with honors with a Master's in History and Helen graduated Cum Laude with a BA in History.  Patrick also received two special graduate of the year awards from the History department and as President of Phi Alpha Theta History fraternity.

Can you tell I'm a bit of a proud mama? ;)  We spent a week out there doing some shopping, museum-ing and TopGolfing. We hated to leave.  Yet, roof repairs and other house projects awaited us on our return.  




             


Come back tomorrow to check out the Sneak Peeks of the new release!  And remember also, our inspiration challenge is also still going on through May 31st.  Share your own project inspired by our inspiration photo in the Inlinkz on the Paper Sweeties Blog!

Paper Sweeties Blessings!

4CC#350 - Celebrate Women {Nance}

Good morning!  
Happy Thursday!

Hope you are having a good week!
I'm your hostess this week for 4 Crafty Chicks!

Since Mother's Day is this Sunday in the U.S. and Canada, I thought it would be fitting to celebrate women. You don't necessarily have to make a Mother's Day card, just a project that celebrates women.


Stamps: Hibiscus Bouquet (Altenew); Sentiment - Strictly Sentiments 4 (WPlus).
Paper: Neenah white cardstock; lavendar cardstock from stash.
Ink: Black Onyx (Versafine); Flirty Fushia, Pixie Dust, Party Dress, It's A Girl, Aquatini, Mint to Be (Catherine Pooler).
Extras: Sequins.

Stop by the Hen House and check out the rest of the Chicks projects celebrating women and then share yours with us in the provided Inlinkz!
