Little Paper Shop's Friday Featured Stamp Set

Hello peeps, how are you today? Starting today, we will be having an extra post each week on the LPS blog. We will be featuring one of our current stamp sets and showing you cards/projects made with that set from the LPS Card Gallery (which by the way is stuffed full of inspiration). We could all use some extra inspiration, right? The first set we are featuring is Garden Gate, one of my favs. Here is the first card I made with this set that I showed on my blog a few weeks ago.............

Now, run over to the LPS blog to check out all the inspiration. We hope you enjoy what you see. We'll be doing this every Friday to help you keep that mojo flowing. Talk to you soon.

Verve is the Word

Hello again and welcome back to my blog. It's Flutter By Wednesday FBW95 time, are you ready? I love Wednesday's because of this challenge. I can use any stamp set I want, any color I want, any layout I want, etc. All I have to remember is to put a Butterfly, an Angel, or a Fairy on my card. Sometimes we throw a little challenge in there for you but today our challenge is open. So what are you waiting for, wanna play along with us this week?

This is my third card this week using some gorgeous new Verve stamp sets I got a couple of weeks ago. Today I combined two sets for this card, Because of You and Beautiful You. I used some of the new Basic Grey Origins paper that I got from Jacksonbelle Embellishments.  Here is my card.............

So what do you think? This card came together for me very fast but I'm really liking the end result. Make sure you head over to the Flutter By blog and upload your card to Mr. Linky. Then check out all my DT sisters by clicking on their links on the sidebar. You will be glad you did.

Thanks for stopping by and I will see you again tomorrow.

Buttons, Brads and Bows .... Oh My!!!

Welcome back to my blog this morning and how are you today? It's time for Jacksonbelle's Tuesday Challenge and our challenge today, JBE091, is called "Buttons, Brads and Bows......Oh My!!" You can use one, two or all three on your card. I chose to use a button (with a bow). I used some of the new Basic Grey Nook & Pantry paper on my card and a new stamp set from Verve called Love's Flower. Basic Grey paper can be found at the Jacksonbelle store. I used Monday MOJO Sketch Challenge MOJO124 for the layout of my card. Here it is...........

And I wanted to show you a close-up of the beautiful flower that came with this stamp set........

And here is the sketch I used, MOJO124, from the Monday MOJO blog (I flipped my card for the sketch)............

When you play along with this awesome challenge today make sure and leave a comment on the Jacksonebelle blog and a link to your card. Now check out what the rest of the Jbelle Rockstars have to show you today..........
