You're Amazing

Good morning! Today's Pumpkin Spice inspiration was a little personal challenge for myself. I wanted to use more masculine colors (No pink! ....GASP) and I also wanted to use those cute alpha stickers from a kit. I always love those alphas in the kits, but I never seem to use them, so this was a good personal challenge for myself. 

I used the darling Echo Park This & That Charming collection. Which if you still have not looked at is the perfect collection for masculine projects! Especially if you have a hard time with masculine theme projects, like me, this collection makes it so easy peasy!

You're Grill-tastic

Hi everyone it''s Lenae here from SugarGem with your Friday inspiration. We have been doing a ton of bbq'in lately with the weather being so nice so I thought I would make my sweetie a little card. I used the darling Grillin 'N' Chillin set! I find that I get my inspiration for my projects lately from the stamps. I've been making my projects around the sentiment and before I used to do just the opposite! The stamps just make it so easy to get inspired!

Sweet Day!

Playing with some Sweet Day from Echo Park! Yummy! Love this collection! The colors are so soft and beautiful and the Yellow is scrumptious! I also used some delicious Twine from the Twinery in buttercream. In case you have not seen this collection in person let me tell you the paper has the coolest texture look to it. Almost like a linen finish. So COOL!

Hi Everyone! How was your weekend? Today is my Pumpkin Spice Inspiration day and I had to share this little cheerful summer card. Something about this paper just makes me smile. It's so cheerful and fun. It's the Sidewalk collection from October Afternoon.
