Hello! Today's card is for Freshly Made Sketches 278.

My card uses a stamp set from My Favorite Things.

I used die cuts from Memory Box and Lawn Fawn. Background paper is from Doodlebug Designs.

Welcome to my sadly neglected blog! I have been away for a few weeks due to family commitments. Had a little time myself today so I thought I'd enter the Tag You're it Challenge. This weeks inspiration tag is so pretty! Here it is:

So many things to take as inspiration! 

Here is my tag:

I was inspired to make a double, long and skinny embossed tag. The embossing folder is from SU!, birds are a die from Paper Smooches, the tag die is from My Favorite Things - Fishtail Flags, the vine is a Memory Box die. Plaid paper is from Lawn Fawn. Sequins from Pretty Pink Posh. I think I used all my favorite companies on this one tag. lol

Here is my tag:

I dug out my rolled rose die from My Favorite things and made some rolled roses. For the background I did a splatter technique using Distress inks and a little bit of gold paint. 

The word stamp is from Penny Black.

You have a pizza my heart! Sugar Pea Designs Sketch #49

I made this card for Sugar Pea Designs sketch challenge # 49. I don't have very many of Sugar Pea's stamps so I dug out an old set I had in my collection.  Here is the sketch:

I have really fallen in love with this company! The have so many fun sketch challenges, I have to buy some more of their stamps! lol

Here is my card for the challenge:

I used the set Pizza my heart. I stamped the image in Picked Raspberry Distress ink. The Pizza slices I colored directly onto the stamp with Tombow markers and stamped them. Background paper is some I have had in my stash for a while - not sure who's paper it is.

Stitched circle dies are My Favorite Things, frame die is Lil Inker Designs Stitched mats. I don't know which company the the little flags are from. Sequins are from Pretty Pink Posh. I almost tossed this card in the garbage- lol. I am my own worst critic. Glad I didn't - it kind of grew on my and now I don't think it's that bad.

Thanks of visiting today! Have a good day - Barb
