Lilly's Rainbow

Just wanted to share a few cards I made with this new set Lilly's Rainbow by Mabelle R.O. for The Angel Company.  Isn't she cute!?   I made my background using Background Soup, and the rainbow is popped up with foam tape. This is a card that made it into the new Angel Company catalog! If you don't have a catalog yet, and would like to get one, please contact me!

 

For this card I wanted to focus on the beautiful sentiment in this set, so I tried for a clean and simple look, this is as clean and simple as I am able to do!

Paired with an everyday sentiment, still adorable! And yes, I used those polka dots again! I have polka dot issues, they are happy and fun, they work with almost everything, and I love them!

I hope that you are having a wonderful day!! I appreciate you stopping by!

Christmas in July!!

How about some awesome ideas for Christmas! All this week over on the Savvy Projects blog, we will be focusing on ideas and projects for the holiday season!  So will I, each day I will have a new project featured here to (hopefully) inspire you to get a head start on your holiday projects! I know it is only July, and it's like 100 degrees out side, but if we get a head start our projects could be done and we could enjoy the Christmas season without a crafting frenzy at the last minute. What!? I can't be the only one who does that... am I??

I took up a challenge by another Angel to use papers that were not "Christmas" paper, to create for Christmas. We have so many beautiful paper collections to choose from at The Angel Company that it really wasn't hard to do. I found that there is at least one sheet in most of our "Soar with it Collections" (SWIC) that could work for Christmas projects. And often there were two or more sheets that would work!!
The first card (above), was created using the Maggie SWIC and Amberly card stock collection., This light blue paper from Maggie, looks so cool and wintery to me. I tried for a "traditional" Christmas look for these cards today. I will share some nontraditional color combos later in the week.

 

This next card couldn't be more traditional in color, but this paper is from Mia's Cottage SWIC and card stock collection, paired with scarlet card stock! Polka dots are from Background Soup and embossed in white. This sentiment was computer generated, sorry,  I just wanted that saying so badly for this card, and couldn't let it go. :) 

Along with my papers, I also used stamps on both cards that are not from Christmas sets. The first card used the sweet angel from Fairytale Fun, but the sentiment is from Hung on a Tree, a Christmas set. This second card used Mice Day.

I will be adding something here everyday this week, lots of ideas for Christmas I just couldn't stop! I hope that you will stop in again . Also please be sure to check out the Savvy Projects blog all week for Christmas in July and see something new each day to inspire you!!

Thanks for stopping by, and have a delightful day!! :)

Carrot Cars and Flowers...

Today is the last day of "You Make February Fabulous!" on the Savvy Projects Blog. This is the featured set today 'Joy of Easter', I love this silly little carrot car, paper is from the Mia's Cottage collection.
This has been so much fun seeing what each Guest Designer has created everyday, and all those fabulous creations from all those who joined in the fun. But the fun will not be stopping, oh no, March is going to be filled with fun as well! Starting tomorrow with the first "Tune in Tuesday", every Tuesday will focus on a different type of card. Tomorrow, March 1st, Rita will feature cards with animals! Friday will start the "Seeing Shamrocks" blog hop, anyone can join in and add your card or project to the link! You just need to use Angel Company Stamps, and have fun of course. Next week "Tune in Tuesday" Will feature cards with flowers with Holly. On Friday the 11th I will be kicking off "Going Green" week!! Projects or cards that are green in color, recycled 'green', or Irish green for St Patrick's Day, or any other interpretation of this theme you can come up with!!

 

This next card  was a set that was featured last week by Chris Franco, she was kind enough to send me some stamped images because I do not have this set (yet).  This set is called 'Delicate Florals' and it is just lovely. Last week just got too crazy and I didn't get this posted on time, but better late than never I guess. :) Thanks so much Chris! Paper is from the Maggie Collection, sentiment  from 'Joyful Notes'.

Hope that you are having a great day, thanks for stopping by!
