August Card Challenge

Happy August everyone! I am wish the best for you all this month. Well as you all know I do a card challenge every month over at The Moments. I have had fun coming up with different ideas each month. So this month's card will be a tri-fold card. I made this card for a friend. So it includes a letter and a picture. I know she will love it.

Here is how I did it.


I cut this cardstock into two 5x10 strips. Then folded in the middle to make them like two cards.

Then, I used adhesive to put the two pieces together into one long strip.

It could be called the "Z" card because that is what it looks like.


I used my new Echo Park pp on pink cs, vellum paper w/ the sentiment, and these white crochet flowers with pearls.



Here is the inside. Used the same pp and pearls.


Well join me over at The Moments to have fun in this and other challenges posted August 1.  Thanks for looking!

Happy 1 Year Blog Anniversary

Happy Birthday "Inspired Me" ! Yes, today my blog is one year's old. I remember a year ago I was so excited to start.

I thank you all for visiting my world and cheering for me. You all are the best! I have watched myself grow as an artist.

My Birthday Blog Party

Welcome to my Birthday Blog Party! I am starting my celebration early to fully enjoy my day. My actual birthday is May 29th but why not start early right? :) When I think of birthdays past, they were always such exciting times for me. Many of my birthdays were celebrated with fun parties from my childhood to my young adult years. I loved all of those special parties and to this day, I still love it. Maybe this is where my love for event planning all started. At my 3rd birthday, my parents gave me a big one. I don't really remember but the pictures are so cool. I had lots of kids there, a clown, a little merry-go-round ride and lots of games. I had a white little outfit on and was looking so cute for a Spring party. Boy, I looked so happy! Also, I was brave not to be afraid of the clown, too. My mom was holding me as I blew the candles out. Another year, I had my first slumber party. That was so fun! I invited several friends and ...

Vintage Layout

I wanted to share this layout with you all. I recently submitted a design team application and I had to make a layout. I haven't made a layout in years so it was a nice challenge. I enjoyed making the first one so much I wanted to try another one. This one is dedicated to my sweet grandmother, Thelma Cobbs. This was her college picture back in the 1930's. I just love this picture of her, the sepia tone color and the style is so classic.  Her style has influenced my artistic approach.  I loved all her lace handkerchiefs, hats, gloves, purses and jewel. So I have taken a lot of her traditional, glamours style and use it on my cards and now layouts.  I know she would be so proud to see her fashion sense in my work. Maybe it is my way of keeping her alive and close to me.  Love and miss you Nana! Supplies used are: Webster's Pages patterned paper, Scenic Route rub-on words, Prima flowers, leaves from Michael's, form adhesive on the lady images, cream ribbon and white...
