Happy Thursday Fellow Crafters and Scrappers,
Welcome to Just A Scrappin's weekly challenge. This week we are celebrating MOMs. With Mother's Day just a few short days away, it is time to head into the craft room and create something special for mom. We are hoping to help by providing creative inspiration (use any colors you like for your card, layout or project).
This week I created a card showcasing a beautiful bouquet of flowers (and the best kind too, a bouquet that last longer than one week). I wanted to make the flower arrangement the focal point of the card so I maintained a clean background with a complementing pattern paper for the card base. I cannot express enough how difficult that was for me. I almost pulled out my watercolor palette to add a few splatters. I used Tim Holtz distress ink pad (peeled paint) to create the watercolor effect on the flower stems. Finally, I added a few brads, twine and a sentiment banner and the card was complete.

Happy Monday Taylored Expressions Fans,
I am so excited to bring you this month's Key Ingredients Kit. It is the perfect kit for all your spring projects, cards and layouts. The fun, beautiful colors in Pebbles' Garden Party 6x6 paper pad is a perfect match for Taylored Expressions' Stamp of the Month, Bloom & Grow, and the coordinating die Hello Blooms.
I love the sentiment stamp in this collection and just had to showcase it. I created the bouquet and then die cut the watering can to shower the flowers with lots of LOVE. I even added a little fishing wire to imitate water pouring from the watering can.

Happy Thursday,
I cannot believe how quickly the this week is passing by. We have another great challenge over at Just A Scrappin'. This week, we are breaking out another fabulous tool in our crafting toolbox--the sewing machine. Join us in creating a card, project or layout using stitching. You can use any colors and theme.
I love using my sewing machine to add that little something extra to my projects. For this card, I decided to use a collage design. I added a bit of stitching to one of my layers for added interest and texture. I finished the card with a few simple embellishments and enamel dots. Don't forget to stop by the Just A Scrappin' blog to view the projects of my fellow design team members.

Happy Tuesday Crafty Friends!
I am stopping in for a quick post. The month of April is almost gone. Only a couple days left in April and with that only a two days left to check out April's Key Ingredients Kit from Taylored Expressions. I have enjoyed playing with this kit, stamp of the month and coordinating die set.
For this card, I wanted to showcase how versatile the Key Ingredients Kit is when creating any type of card. I created a sympathy card using Carta Bella's Sew Lovely 6x6 paper pack. To add a little interest to the white backdrop, I used a flourish stencil with white embossing powder. I then added a wonderful sentiment from the Care and Comfort stamp set.

Hello Fellow Scrappers and Crafters,
I can across a fantastic blog hop this weekend, which inspired me to create this shaker card (only the second I have created). Pretty Pink Posh is hosting their first blog hop (open to the public) and the theme is to create a shaker card using any colors. I hope you will hop over and check out some of the great shaker cards created by fellow crafters.

Happy Thursday!
I hope you are enjoying the Taylored Expressions and Faber-Castell Blog Hop thus far. As a team of designers we came together to share with you some AWESOME, crafty projects. Together, we have left no crafting stone unturned, creating cards, home decor projects and much more. For your creative enjoyment, I designed a home decor project.
I am enjoying the subway art trend and really wanted to give it a try. I loved creating this 12x12 home decor canvas to showcase the wonderful products from both Taylored Expressions and Faber-Castell. I used Taylored Expressions "Welcome Home" stamp set and "Build A House" die set along with several mixed media mediums from Faber-Castell. Using mixed media products was so much fun and easy to use. I applied gel medium to decoupage pages from a used book as the base for my project and then used gelatos to add a pop of color to the base. I had fun stamping cute little houses over the canvas once it was dry. Lastly, I applied the chalkboard paint in random swipes across the canvas and wrote out my quote. Creating the "Smith Family Home" was a great way to use all those random pieces of scrap paper I just couldn't part with and create a wonderful home accent piece in the process.
Good Morning Fellow Scrappers and Crafters,
Welcome to this week's Just A Scrappin' Challenge. The challenge is to create a tag using any theme or colors. I find that tags are a wonderful way to practice various techniques, without being overwhelmed by space.
