Bloom Where You're Planted

Hello Friends-

Just a quick post tonight with a fun little card I made.  I feel it is important to really sieze every moment we are given and to do the most with that moment-thus the title of this card, "Bloom Where you're planted." The title says it all! I have let myself get caught up in the daily hum drum of life and have forgetten to enjoy and live for each moment and to love each moment that I am given on this earth! I made this card for me-to remind myself to Bloom, Where I am Planted!

Materials:

My Minds Eye Papers

My Favorite Things Stamp, Papertrey Ink Stamp

Copic Markers 

Enjoy and remember to "Bloom Where You are Planted" also!

Hugs Heidi

A year of memories

What better way to capture a snippet of the year, than in a rolodex style photo holder. I created this little desk/table album to keep the memories alive during the year of 2012. I can't wait to see what each month's finished page looks like as the photos are added!
Here is a quick peek at the album:

I have 2 kits available to sell for $25. The kit comes complete with photos and instructions. You can contact me at scrappinfriends.redding@yahoo.com to order yours.

Have a great day-Hugs Heidi

Day 5-Papertrey Ink Challenge

Hi Friends-

Today is day 5 of Papertrey Ink's 5th year Anniversary! Today's challenge is to create a new project inspired by a Pinterest Image. Now, if you haven't heard of or been to the "Pinterest" site-you are in for a real treat! It is soooo addicting!!  It is a place where you can find all the inspiration needed to get your mojo moving!

So, to find my inspiration, I looked around for some fun pillows (as I am going to be remodeling my living room soon)! Here is a great pillow I found, and couldn't resist it's simplicity and fun!

Now, on to the creating a card that was as simple and fun as the inspiration pillow!

Materials Used:

Cardstock: Papertrey Ink "White"

Print Paper: Crate Paper

Stamp and Die set: Papertrey Ink "Little Bitty Bird"

Misc.: Ribbon

Papertrey 5th Anniversary-Day 2 Challenge

Hello Friends-

Wow, Papertrey is busy, busy, with some great challenges right now during their 5th Anniversary! Today is day 2 of a 10 day challenge series. Today's challenge is to create a card with one of the Designers freebie download images. They are all so great, that it was hard to decide on one image. I narrowed it down and the one I chose is Dawn McVey's "Happiest Birthdays" image.

I love how Dawn puts colors and stamped images together. They are not only elegant, but they are simple and clean. I love how she makes it look so easy. My simple designs just don't do much for me, and I always end up adding more and more! If you haven't been to her blog, then you must take a look around-as I always am, you too, are sure to be inspired!

So, with that said, here is my take with her freebie download-Thanks for the great designs Dawn!

Materials Used:

Cardstock: Papertrey Ink "Sweet Blush", "Kraft"

Patterned Paper: Papertrey Ink "Polka Dot Parade", My Minds Eye "Stella Rose-Gertie"

Freebie Image: Dawn McVey

Stamp Set and Die: Papertrey Ink "Celebrations" and "Celebrations Frame"

Misc.: Ribbon, Papertrey Ink Button

Take a look at all the other great talent:
