Sweet Inspiration...

 Welcome to another fantastic Inspiration Tuesday with By LORi Designs!  My card for you today features the sweet sweet Puddle Jumper Penny!  Love her!

 As much I love the CAS style I love changing things up a bit too.  I used the current sketch over at The Deconstructed Sketch Blog.    I love sketch challenges as it takes all the guess work out for me.  Other than colouring (on detailed images) thats the part I spend most of my time fussing over.....the layout.  If its already done for me then I can put my own little spin on it and *bam* its done!  (did I mention my middle name is Emeril?...lol).  Although that probably makes me a lazy crafter, I'd rather be colourin' up my next image instead of spending hours fussing until I like it...'sigh'...Plus I have a TON of embellishments that have been gettin' no love lately and I've promised myself that I have to start using the buckets of twine, buttons, pearls, charms, doilies, brads, etc...i.e. I've had those metal heart brads (bottom left of my card) for about 9 years now...seriously...pathetic, I know...I think A&E needs a  new show called Crafty Hoarders...I could totally be on it! 

K, tangent over.  Lets move on...I've also made this card for the current BLD ChallengeHearts - check out the Challenge Blog to see the gorgeous inspiration pic and play along for your chance to win a free digi!

I'm also playing along with the sweet girls over at The Pink Elephant!  The challenge is to use 'Print' in your project!  The dp i used all has a very faint vintage looking print...its there..I promise!

Thanks for stopping by today!  Hope you enjoy your week!

  4. Gorgeous - and I think there is a market out there in TV Land for crafting hoarders. I like to buy them and imagine myself using them, then I imagine the embellishment no longer being in my drawer waiting for me and I panic -- and don't use it! I've got to really like somebody to use my snazzy embellishments and bling! Good for you to try and break the habit -- your card is gorgeous!
