Paper Crafts & Scrapbooking Magazine Special Thanks! Blog Hop

I hope you are hanging in here on this wonderful hop!  You should of arrived here from Asty's blog.  I have been a long time reader of Paper Crafts & Scrapbooking magazine, they have always had the freshest talent on the block!  I recently had the *GUTS* to send a card in for application and it was ACCEPTED!!!  I was super excited as it was my first time EVER to be published in a major magazine.  But, then to my dismay I got the saddest email ever, that the company will close it's doors at the beginning of 2015. And with that my card will not be published. I was super bummed, but more bummed that we are loosing another outlet of scrappy history. 

I wanted to THANK all the wonderful people of Paper Crafts & Scrapbooking Magazine for providing great inspiration for so many years. 

Products Used: MFT: Thanks Die-namics, Peerless Watercolors, Stencil created with a Silhoutte File, Heidi Swap Color Shine, Pearlescent Embossing Paste, Embossing Powder, Canson Watercolor Paper.

Here is the card that was to be published in the April 2015 issue of Paper Crafts & Scrapbooking Magazine!  I still take it as an honor to be picked.

Products Used: Lawn Fawn Stamps & Dies, MFT Die-Namics & Ink, Distress Ink, Vellum

Thank you for stopping by! Now off to Isha's Blog here. Have fun hopping!

Flying by to say Thanks!

Hello my Newton-ites! Today, I am here with a card to inspire you.   I used the Newtons Nook Designs Winged Wishes stamp set to create this fun easy to reproduce card!  I started with some fun colorful patterned paper.  Then for the cloud strip in the middle. It's vellum! Yep, I dry embossed and then hit it with some distress ink to create a soft blue look.  After that I stamped out the cutest little birds and the Thanks Banner and fussy cut that out.  For and added touch of softness I glued some pink and white twine over the string in the image. 

I hope this card has brought you some inspiration! I know I love seeing what everyone else creates on the web! 

Be sure to check back next week for the April New Release for Newton's Nook Designs!

Lawnscaping Challenge #69 - Sentiment

Today, I played along with the Lawnscaping Challenge!  I really needed to make a Thank You card for a friend of my dad's in Pittsburgh.  He goes to all the hockey games and gives all the Pittsburgh Penguins Memorabilia to my dad to give to me. (since I have to be the BIGGEST Penguins fan in Florida)  I am very thankful for his generosity.  Thus, why this card had a penguin on it saying Greetings from Florida.  It all makes sense now doesn't it!
