Organization!!!

I have spent a little time recently organizing my office.  I have been wanting to put vinyl decals on my walls somewhere for some time & finally got around to doing it.  I bought this awesome magnetic dry erase board to help in my staying organized & then used the cricut to make the lettering above.  I absolutely love the way it turned out!  Ahhhhh, now to enjoy my neat orderly space. :)

Flower Soft "Toppers"

Today we are showing Flower Soft Toppers or Stamps.  "Toppers" seems to be one of those words that a lot of people don't quite understand.  Think of it as a pre-printed image that is already colored in & ready to apply to the "top" of your card.  I'm a stamper at heart so at first I wasn't sure what I thought about making a card with an image that has already been "finished" for me.  But after joining the Flower Soft Team I must say I see the attraction.  If you need or just want to create some quickie cards this is definitely the way to go.  For todays project I used the Springtime Card Toppers.  I also added some Ultra Fine Sage & one of the new mixes,  Old Rose Flower Soft to complete the image.

Mojo237

I promise I did start with this Mojo Monday 237 layout although my card sort of took a different form.  I guess the important part is I was inspired by Mojo Monday & did create a card that I really do like.  That's the whole idea, right.  Inspire & create!  As you can probably tell I really like warm earth tones & fall happens to be one of my favorite times of the year.  Even though it is screaming spring outside in Indiana today I ended up creating something that looks a little more fallish.  Oh well, as I said before the important part is inspiration & creation.

FS Wire Works

It's time for our monthly Flower Soft wire works challange.  It's always so fun to see what everyone else does with these wires.  The possibilities are endless.  My vision for this card originally was that there would actually be more wire showing, not just on the ends.  But I did like the way the card turned out overall so I ran with it.

FS Butterfly Kit Challenge

For the Flower Soft Challenge today we are to use the Die Cut Dimensions Butterflies.  Here is my version trying to use them a little out of the norm.  It's always so easy to just grab my nestibilities & layer away (not sure what I ever did without them now!).  So this time I wanted to "challenge" myself to do something different from my usual.  Can't wait to see what everyone else does.  Check out the rest of the team here.

MOJO236

Mojo Monday, round two, three & four!  So, in my last post I said I was definitely going to use Mojo Monday sketch 236 again.  Well, I already have . . .  3 more times!  I just love this layout.  I actually am in need of several birthday cards this week & this just worked out perfect.  A couple more that are more masculine & the one with the bird is actually done with only patterned paper but works well with the gift I bought my mother for her upcoming birthday.  And she loves birds so it was a must do for her.  Hope you enjoy!



MOJO236

I absolutely LOVE today's Mojo Monday sketch!  I have a feeling I will be using this layout a lot!  It's simple, clean & there are a million possibilities.  Can't wait to make another one.  For my first one I chose this paper combo from 7 gypsies because I needed a masculine card.  Stay tuned for more . . .

Happy Easter!

One of the Flower Soft Design Team projects for this month is called "Anything Goes".  I really wanted to use the Easter Fun topper for something this month so this is the one.  All I used was the adorable little chick topper, My Minds Eye paper, my Nestibilities, some ribbon & dimensional pop up dots.  Very simple but so appropriate for the season.  Hope you all have a Happy Easter!
