Sending Smiles

It's Friday Eve and I'm back with a card I made earlier this week for this week's Make It Monday.  How could I not participate in this week's challenge when I have tons of paper scraps in various storage vessels in my craft room?!  I only wish I could consume them as quickly as I acquire them!

I was inspired by the layout of the card Dawn made, but my color palette is oriented to late summer/early fall and I flipped the focal images and sentiment on my card.  I also added some faux stitching between the patterned paper seams.  My faux stitching clearly isn't perfect, but I assure you it is FAR better than my real attempts with a sewing machine.  Trust me on this.

Thanks for stopping by!  Enjoy the rest of your week!

MIM: Inspired Color Challenge

I'm back with a card I completed for this week's Make It Monday challenge.  I had originally started to work on a different project using one of the other color combinations, but I just couldn't get it to come together the way I wanted.  I finally decided to try a different project inspired by this photo and color combination:

Here is my card:

I loved the floral pattern of the head board in the inspiration photo and was also drawn to the chevron pillow (I'm a bit late to the chevron party--I just got the chevron background set in my last PTI order!), so those were the elements I wanted to incorporate in my project.

Thanks for stopping by!  Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
