Inspired By Challenge #4

Second post for today!  Scroll down to see my Mojo card.
Laurel picked a glam invitation as this week's Inspired By inspiration... so I kept it fairly literal and used a glam stamp that I've had for a little while.  I love the Creme Brulee & Grey Flannel together:

Here was our inspiration:

Cardstock is Creme Brulee, Grey Flannel & Colonial White; Stamp sets are Be Yourself & Argyle Backgrounds; Inks are Black & Creme Brulee; Sparkles - all CTMH.

April Showers bring May Flowers at Heart2Heart!

I love this as a challenge idea!  This week's Heart2Heart challenge lets you decide how to incorporate rain/showers/flowers any way you like... maybe a rainbow?  I love my card!  It looks deceptively simple - and was more time consuming and finicky than anything I've made in a long time.  Can you tell that there are 14 different papers, 10 inks and 3 stamp sets used?  I hand cut all the buttons and leaves, used my Coluzzle for the button 'mats', and sanded all the edges to smooth them out nicely.  And my little polka dot background is supposed to be the April showers (get it?) coming down on my May flowers.  We would love to have you join us by playing along this week - just link up your project on the Heart2Heart blog (remember that your project should use mostly CTMH products - just list what else you've used).  We have two new sponsors for April: LeAnne Dudley and Michelle Zimmerman who are providing wonderful prizes that will be given to two randomly chosen players at the end of the month.  Come and see what the rest of the design team has come up with this week!

Finished size is 4"x9".  All products are CTMH: stamp sets are Buttoned Together, Grown with Love and Argyle Backgrounds; Olivia patterned paper; Cardstock is Sky, Pacifica, White Daisy, Cotton Candy, Hollyhock, Amethyst, Gypsy, Pear, Lagoon, Creme Brulee, Sorbet, Tulip & Vineyard Berry.  Inks are Sky, Cotton Candy, Gypsy, Pacifica, Lagoon, Sorbet, Creme Brulee, Tulip, Pear & Black.  Embroidery floss, Bamboo brad.  Flower stems are machine stitched.

Play Date Cafe Challenge

After pulling out the cardstock colours for this week's Play Date Cafe Challenge... all I could see was "golf!", so I pulled out Argyle Backgrounds, and made it into a guy-friendly birthday card.  Here was our inspiration:
