Els *Day 3*

Check out this charming card by Els:

The overall design of this card is gorgeous-- so many possiblities. The torn paper on the top and the bottom creates the perfect background for Els' text stamping. I love the way she has stamped the tree on it's own square panel. Finally, the stitching on this panel is fabulous detail!
Here is my take:

Thanks again for looking! I hope you are all having a wonderful week so far! HUGS!

This is one of those gorgeous cards that just stopped me dead in my tracks! The center panel is like a mini painting! The way Els has designed the background makes the floral image such a stunning focal point. The colors are so rich and regal! And once again, Els has chosen the perfect ribbon and button embellishment for this masterpiece!
Here is my take:

See you tomorrow!

Inspired by...Els, aka Be(e)!

Hi everyone! Hope you had a nice weekend. :) I am very excited to announce that the next featured stamper this week is.... Els, best known as Be(e) on FLICKR and her BLOG. I have admired her cards for quite some time and can't wait to share a few this week. Let's get started; shall we? :) Here is our first inspirational card:The design of this card is so crisp and clean. I love the unique color scheme. Els did a beautiful job distressing the main panel. Isn't that folded corner a great touch?! The subtle text stamping on white adds to the vintage feeling of this card. Finally, that scrumptious ribbon makes the perfect embellishment!

Here is my take: Thanks so much for stopping by and for leaving such kind comments! :) See you tomorrow, my friends, with another beautiful card by Els. Hugs!

Happy Saturday, my friends! I am thrilled to announce today's inspirational POD designer is Darien!! If you haven't been to Darien's BLOG, make sure to head there ASAP. Her creations are truly a treat for the eyes, loaded with shabby chic style and incredible details. With that said, feast your eyes on this layout by Darien:Where do I begin? This is one of the most beautiful LO's I've ever seen! I love the soft pink colors and gorgeous flowers. The layered music paper is an elegant touch. The banners are a fabulous way to create a title. And finally, those little vintage butterflies make the perfect embellishment.
Here is my take:
For my card I used the following stamps by POD:
Vintage Butterfly
Early 1900's Music Background
Doodle Flower Sentiment Set
Thanks again for visiting and leaving such kind comments. I know I've said this before, but I can't tell you how much they mean to me! AND BIG thanks to Darien for allowing me to share her work!! :)

Debbie *Day 5*

Here is our last card by Debbie:

I adore the way Debbie has created this bright bouquet of flowers. The scallop punch looks beautiful at the bottom. And check out that bird- what a fun touch! Finally, I really love the way Debbie has stamped her images on white. Very elegant and eye catching!
Here is my take. I was especially inspired by Debbie's bright, bold flowers:

Thanks to all of you for "tuning in" this week! It's been my pleasure to share Debbie's stamping! Thanks to you, Debbie, for allowing me to share your work. :)

This card is such a charmer! First of all, Debbie has done it again with another great background. The tiny flowers and butterflies are just too cute! The oval shaped sentiment is a nice design element. Finally, Debbie has added such nice details like the layered flowers and tiny gems.
Here is my take: Thanks sooo much for dropping by. I hope you will be able to visit tomorrow for our last day of inspiration with the talented Debbie! Hugs!
