Mariana *Day 5*

Here is our last inspirational creation by Mariana:Just look at that butterfly?!! AMAZING!!! And Mariana has created the perfect background to showcase it. I love the embossed background on kraft. The touch of black around the sentiment is elegant along with the pretty row of pearls. Finally, the stitching is a great finishing touch.
Here is my take. I was also inspired by THIS awesome card by Jennifer McGuire. Thanks again, my friends, for stopping by this week. You always make my day! And BIG thanks to Mariana for playing along. I am your biggest fan and always look forward to visiting your BLOG and PHOTOSTREAM to see what you've cooked up next. :)
See you all tomorrow for Purple Onion Inspiration Saturday!

Mariana *Day 4*

Here is our next card by Mariana:Oh, how I love that butterfly! The touch of bling is brilliant on both the butterfly and the pearls near the sentiment. And how about this color scheme?! Mariana really has a gift for working with color. And don't forget to look close at Mariana's cards for all of the wonderful details like the embossing, stitching, and twine antennae on this card!
Here is my take. I just love coloring in this butterfly by Hero Arts:
Thanks again for stopping by! I hope you'll visit tomorrow for our last day with the talented Mariana! :)

Mariana *Day 3*

Here is our next delightful card by Mariana:

This card is so tasteful and elegant! I love the simple color scheme. And those pink pearls add the perfect, unexpected accent. The dragonflies look magical. Finally, I really like the look of the black border of the center panel against the bright aqua card base.

Mariana *Day 2*

Here is another beautiful card by Mariana:

You can't help but feel happy when you look at this card! The colors are incredibly bright and spectacular. I love the mix of stamping and pp, too. They really compliment eachother. Finally, that deep navy ribbon adds just the right touch of elegance to this design.
Here is my take: Thanks for stopping by, my friend, and thanks, thanks, THANKS for all of your extra sweet comments. You ALWAYS make me smile!

Inspired by...Mariana!

I'm so glad you have stopped by today. This week I will be featuring one of my favorite cardmakers-- Mariana Grigsby!! I can't tell you how thrilled I am to share her work on my blog this week. Speaking of blogs, be sure to check out Mariana's BLOG and PHOTOSTREAM for lots and lots of inspiration. Here is our first card by Mariana:

This card is the perfect example of the professional and polished look of Mariana's creations! I love the color scheme on this card-so bold and regal. The flower is colored perfectly and looks wonderful on that panel of kraft cardstock. Finally, the button, twine, and punched border round out this stunner!
Here is my take:


Thanks for stopping by! I'll see you tomorrow with another of Mariana's awesome cards! :)
