I worked on cards while they scrapbooked! After general consensus from all of them, the card decided to enter the <a href="http://papersmoochessparks.blogspot.com/">Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge</a> this week for anything goes used the Nine Lives stamp set. This stamp set can be found at <a href="http://www.papersmoochesstamps.com/default.asp">Paper Smooches Stamps</a>.<br />

I fell in love with the Nine Lives Stamp Set and Dies. This card uses both Nine Stamp Set & Dies as well as Streamers dies both from Paper Smooches. I have not made a shaker card in some time so I went for it! I used MFT circle cut die and tailored expressions sequins to create the shaker. Distress ink was used over a stencil from Simon Says Stamp. The cat and banner were stamped with gold delicata ink for even more sparkle - after all we can never have too much sparkle and shine!<br />

For this card I stamped the polaroid camera image on white paper with black versa fine ink them embossed to make the black pop! I die cut with the matching Click Icons, then stamped the sentiment and cut to fit like a picture coming out of the camera. I colored the steps with comic markers. Next I cut the frames with Simon Says Stamp Stitched Rectangles, yellow was not enough so I added another in red. The sentiment on the bottom, hearts, and arrows were filled in from the same "We Totally Click" set. I hope you enjoy it - very easy and cute!</div>

Today was a beautiful day in central Virginia - almost like spring! Leading to my inspiration to choose Lawn Fawn Flutter By stamps & dies to create the butterflies and stamp the sentiment with little flowers. I also used a Lawn Fawn stitched rectangle die. </div>

For this I love You Card I used Blissful Banners to stamp the sentiment with versamark then gold embossing powder. Next I cut the sentiment using the matching Streamers Die Set (which also have another set of stamps that match for more versatility). Since my friend loves the little critter cards I chose Woofers & Tweeters for the adorable dog. The background is a stencil - falling hearts. Then to add a little dimension I placed the dog on a stitched circle die cut. </div>

My rendition of the Paper Smooches January Design Challenge uses the Woofers and Tweeters and die set. I really love the hearts with dog paw prints in them, in fact I had to stop myself from stamping the entire card front with those little guys. <br />
