Donna *Day 4*

I've been so anxious to share Donna's scraplings this week. So without further ado, feast your eyes on these creations:

Aren't they cute? I love the distressed backgrounds with the text stamping. Donna's selection of images are so delightful, too! Finally, Donna always remembers the little details--string, dimension, leaf die cuts, distressing around the edges of the scraplings...Donna's cards are always a joy to look at and these are definitely no exception!

Here is my take:

See you tomorrow for our last day with Donna!

Sorry I don't have supplies listed today. Please don't hestitate to email me if you have any questions! :)

Donna *Day 3*

Here is our next inspiration card by Donna:

Aren't these colors just divine? I love the playfulness of the aqua, orange, and kraft. The faux postage is a wonderful idea! I also really love the tone on tone stamping on the aqua cardstock. The subtle image is really beautiful. Finally, the edges of the faux postage look fabulous against the kraft background.

Here is my take. I was especially inspired by the faux postage image with the blue sky and white edges and the touches of orange/yellow.Hope you are all having a great day! See you tomorrow!

Here is our first card by Donna:
First of all, I can't get enough of all the layers and dimension on this creation! The colors and distressing add a natural feel. The dry embossed background also adds to this effect. Donna's clever idea of embossing it on that dark brown reminds me of the bark on a tree trunk. Finally, the bright orange butterfly is LOVELY!

Agata *Day 5*

Happy Friday, my blogging friends! Today is our last day with Agata. Make sure that you check out her BLOG and PHOTOSTREAM for continued inspiration! I just love this butterfly card of hers:

Once again, Agata has really caught my eye with her color choices! The orange, pink, and touches of purple/red look fresh and bright! The torn paper effect makes for a unique and unexpected way to include the sentiment! Finally, that butterfly trail looks just lovely made from those tiny beads!

Agata *Day 4*

Okay, find your strongest adhesive, tape runner, double sided tape, duct tape, whatever you've got and now adhere your socks to your ankles because if you don't this next card by Agata is going to knock them right off your feet!! Check out this marvelous creation:WOWSERS; right??!! I love the bright blended colors!! I also love how the order of the colors in background mirrors the order on the center panel only in reverse. The punched kraft paper is a unique way to attach the sentiment. One final element that I think really makes this card"pop" are the touches of white! Oh, Agata, you are amazing!
