Quiet Fairy

Hello lovelies. Hope you are having a wonderful weekend so far! I'm excited to play along with this week's Cupcake Inspirations Challenge. The cupcake this week is so beautiful...

DEEtails:

One of the things that I continue to struggle with is coloring my images... For this card, I used a sweet digi from A Day for Daisies and colored it using a Blender Pen and some Stampin' Write Markers. I added some Smooch ink for the wings for a little bit of sparkle. I stamped the sentiment from PTI onto  the embossed Designer Frame. My background is a page torn out of a book, mounted on some Blushing Bride and spritzed with some Smooch Spritz.

I hope you'll play along with us over at Cupcake Inspirations. We have some fun surprises in the next few weeks leading up to our 200th challenge!

Naki and Nina's Double Dare Challenge 22

Hi there! Hope you're ready for a new Double Dare Challenge! :) Here we go! 

Naki's pick this week is pretty simple... no Big Shot

And my pick is pretty easy too... add pink!




It's funny because when I make my pick each week, I usually have some idea about the direction I want to go... But it never ends up going quite in the same direction... For example, I thought of making a pretty and delicate pink Valentine this week. Totally was not expecting to make something like this...

Here are the DEEtails:

My Beyond the Garden DSP was sitting on my shelf, wanting a little attention, so I pulled it out and decided to use it as a background. To add a little interest, I snipped around some of the blooms and added some Melon Mambo DSP underneath. I kind of love it. :) I matted it with some Lucky Limeade and added a sentiment - Sassy Salutations. Of course, a rhinestone studded butterfly was a must! Sweet and simple, but definitely not the delicate pink Valentine that I had in mind! Haha!

Be sure to visit my dear friend, Naki to see what she created. And then, why don't you play along with us? Just link up your fabulous creation below! :)

Five Friday Favorites: Bunting, Garland, and Streamers, Oh My!

February already? Wow! Crazy, right? So I guess it's about time a share a little more of the randomness in my brain... I've been loving bunting, garland and streamers for a while now, and I just want to hang them up all over my house! :) How many of these is too many in one space? Here are a few of my favorite stylings:

1. Framed bunting with a fun message from Jess McClenahan's home featured on Life Made Lovely. Genius. 

2. Pom pom flower garland from Once Wed. Yes please! This color combination is so unexpected and lovely. 

3. Tissue paper tassel garland from HGTV. Not just for parties, although they are quite festive indeed!

4. Paper dot garland from Oh Happy Day. Not your average crepe paper streamer! I actually made a strand, which surprisingly took a lot of patience! But the end result was well worth it. 

5. Coffee filter giant pom pom garland inspired by Anthropologie from Pamela Garrison. Oh, if everything from Anthropologie could be displayed in my home...

And there folks, are my current favorites in the bunting, garland, and streamers department. What are your favorites? Do tell! Share some below if you will! Now, I'm off to decorate my home with these lovelies. Stop me before I hang up too many... How many is too many?
