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! :)

Still learning...

Hello, my friends! Just thought I would pop in and share a couple of cards I made using my new Copic markers. I am still learning, but I am having lots of fun!

Stamps: Trees (Unity Stamp Co.), Sentiment (POD, available HERE)

See you tomorrow with the next "Inspired by..." stamper. She is one of my favorite cardmakers and I can't wait to share her work!!!

Inspired by...Purple Onion Designers

Welcome to another edition of inspiration by my fellow Purple Onion Designers (POD). Today's awesome cardmaker is Sharon Ong. Be sure to check out her amazing BLOG- it's chalk full of awesome creations! Here is Sharon's beautiful card for today:

This card is such a knock out! I love the gorgeous layers that Sharon adds to all of her creations. The white, kraft, and blue is such a fresh color scheme. Sharon never leaves out any details- I mean, check out those flower centers- how creative! Finally, I love the overall design of this card.
Here is my take:
I just can't tell you how much I loved working with THIS set (Stems and Grass) from POD to make this card. The grass is such a versatile image, I find myself reaching for it all the time. The sentiment on this card is from THIS set (Doodle Flower Sentiment).
Thanks for popping in! I hope you are having a great weekend. AND I hope you'll stop by tomorrow, I have a couple of cards to share...let's just say I can't put my new Copics down... :)
Hugs,
Jill

Sasya *Day 5*

Today is our last day of inspiration with Sasya. Be sure that add her BLOG to your favorites because she posts her beautiful creations frequently! Here is our last gorgeous Sasya card:

This red and white color combo is so striking! The distressed edges and light coat of paint around the edges give this a wonderful shabby chic style. The ribbon is a beautiful touch. And check out that pretty, sparkly butterfly. The pearl centers are gorgeous!
Here is my take:

Thanks so much to Sasya and Eva :) for playing along this week! It has been my pleasure to share your awesome style on my corner of blogland!
Hope to see you all tomorrow for some Purple Onion Designs inspiration! :) HUGS!

Sasya *Day 4*

Not much time to type but I have to share this fabulous, vellum creation by Sasya:And here is my humble take: All Stamps Hero Arts (K5344, CL272, CL428, CL374)

Sasya *Day 3*

Feast your eyes on this beautiful creation by Sasya:

Isn't this elegant? I love the rich background with the burgandy image and green distressing! The glitter adds such wonderful sparkle. And isn't that sentiment cute? Finally, I really like the touch of green and peach on the flower embellishments!

Here is my take. I decided to embellish with butterflies where Sasya used the flowers.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great Wednesday!
