#BEASTmode Blog Hop

Today, I am participating in a blog hop to encourage my friend, Jen Del Muro.

Jen was diagnosed with breast cancer toward the end of last year. 

She's been dealt a pretty bad hand as far as the treatment for 

her type of aggressive cancer, but the prognosis is good. 

This year will be quite the journey and battle, but she is a strong and very motivated woman. 

She's done lots of reading up on how she can take on a positive role in fighting 

her cancer from all angles, including diet and exercise. 

With only a couple of treatments under her belt so far, she is looking and 

feeling good, and plans to keep it that way! 

Her mantra has become a viral hashtag among her friends and crafty peers - #beastmode - 

and it totally fits Jen's personality! 

We love her!

Here's the card that I made for Jen, to let her know that 

I'm thinking of her and praying for her. 

I started by stamping my background with my Color Me Happy stamp in Stone Ink.

I diecut a from Stone Cardstock.

I stamped my I stamped the leaves and blooms using Blooms 'n Buds, 

Blooms 'n Buds Confetti Cuts and Stone Ink, Piggy Bank Ink, Flamingo Ink,

Rose Ink  and Salsa Ink. 

I stamped the sentiment (from My Heart Trusts) in black ink.

 

  



I hope you'll hop along with everyone today

Reverse Confetti February Blog Hop

Welcome to the Reverse Confetti February Blog Hop!

We have tons of inspiration for you to see using Reverse Confetti products!

For the hop, I decided to make a set of baby cards.

I created them all the same way.

I started by blending ink (using Iced Aqua Ink, Tangerine Ink & Piggy Bank Ink)

onto my watercolour paper panels using my Heart Stencil.

I stamped my sentiment using Bear Hugs.

I diecut my critters, stamped them in versafine ink and heat embossed them in clear.

I coloured them in using my Zig Clean Colour Real Brush Markers and a water brush 

and adhered them to my panels using dimensional adhesive.

Here, I used Monkey Business and Monkey Business Confetti Cuts.

On this one, I used Bear Hugs and Bear Hugs Confetti Cuts.

 Here, I used the adorable elephant from Coffee and You (I masked off the coffee cup) 

and Coffee and You Confetti Cuts.

On this card, I used Cured and Cured Confetti Cuts.

And, on my last card, I used Lift Me Up and Lift Me Up Confetti Cuts.

 

 

 

 

 

  

Well, that's it for me for today.

300 Weeks of Inspiration Challenge

I have been a huge fan of Kara Vrabel's Friday Inspiration File for years!

Each week, Kara shares cards that have inspired her by pinning them

and this past week, she celebrated her 300th Friday Inspiration File.

I've been very inspired by the cards that Kara has pinned 

and have been thrilled to see my creations featured a time or two in The File!

To celebrate her 300th Friday Inspiration File, Kara is challenging us to go through The File, 

find a project and use it to spark our creativity.

I was inspired by Betsy Veldman's card that Kara shared in Week #297:

I pulled out a PTI set that I haven't used in years to make my card --

Mehndi Medallion:

I stamped my images in Versamark on watercolour paper and heat embossed them in white.

Then, I coloured over them with my Zig Clean Colour Real Brush Markers and a water brush.

I stamped my sentiment (from PTI's Tropics) on a strip of black cardstock

and heat embossed it in white.

I adhered it to my card using dimensional adhesive.

www.popsugar.com

The LEAD of the At Home Challenge will be invited as a 

Guest Designer in a future challenge!

As I shared yesterday, I was asked by Lindsey Larsen of Occasional Crafting
