Robin *Day 4*

I love this next beauty by Robin:

The blue and brown color scheme on this card is so soft and easy on the eyes! In addition to the color scheme, the gingham and lace punch give this card a great country feeling. Finally, isn't it fun the way Robin attached the ribbon with the button off to the side?
Here is my take:

And I have a bonus to share with you today. My sweet 12 year old sister-in-law is in town and we got to spend a little crafty time together last night. So fun! Here is her fabulous take using Robin's card as inspiration:Thanks for stopping by and for your lovely comments! I am really busy this week with work, so I did not have time to type up my list of materials/supplies for this card. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email me. :)

This next card by Robin is the epitome of spring:

This design is just sooo cute! I love the flower pot with the cute rabbit peaking out! The pastel flowers and butterflies have the perfect amount of dimension and texture. And Robin didn't leave any detail out- check out the "dirt" at the brim of the pot!! GENIUS!
Here is my take:

Robin *Day 2*

Here is our next inspiration card by Robin: Robin's card is so warm and beautiful! I love the tones of yellow and gold mixed with the grey. The heart stamped with the flourish is the perfect resting place for that cute bird! And how about the creative way Robin attached her sentiment?! Perfect! I just love that ribbon!

Here is my take. I was especially inspired by Robin's color scheme of golds, yellow, and brownish grey. Thanks for stopping by! I hope to see you tomorrow with another of Robin's delightful creations! Hugs!

Now I know we are a few months from Christmas :) but I just HAD to share this card of Anne's! I love the nontraditional colors and all of the layers of scrumptious stamping! Anne has also embellished this card to perfection with small pearls and a ribbon fit for royalty! Finally, I love, love, LOVE the unique design of the layered tags that form the shape of the card!!

Here is my take. I was especially inspired by Anne's layered tag design:

BTW- the lovely daffodil image is by my friend, Jane, who is such a talented artist! You can check out more of her digi images on her BLOG and SQUIGGLEFLY.

Anne *Day 4*

Here is today's inspiration by Anne:

Anne's card is amazingly bold and artistic! I so admire her skills! I love the way she has added water splotches and trails in the distress ink. It goes perfectly with the dandelion frame stamp. The colors of this card make me smile and the touch of ribbon and border punch at the bottom add a lovely finishing touch!
