Color Inspiration-2 Cards
I made the large butterfly card on the left first, but didn't really like it. I think I don't like the circles and butterfly being off center, I wish it was more in the center. So I set it aside and made the "wishing you all the best" card. I kept looking at the butterfly card, and it began to grow on me, but still wish that the circles and butterfly were in the center. The "wishing you all the best" card was inspired by this card.

Lifted from PaperCrafts page 29

As soon as I saw the card on page 29, I thought "oooh I have some clear flowers like that" How cleaver of the creator to heat up the flower to make it curl.
Supplies from Close to My Heart-Watermelon Textured CS, Black CS, White Daisy CS, Watermelon ink, black ink, sponge, clear flowers, black bigger brads, pink paper flowers, silver brads, Intrinsic background stamp set, western flourishes stamp set, For ever occasion stamp set
Other-glitter glue
I also wanted to put in a quick plug for Papercrafts magazine. I have heard of a few people not so happy with this issue. I loved it!(it is full of great cards, projects and I am lovin the new format!) I did notice that it was a little thinner than normal and a lot less ads. I know that lots of companies are going different routes for advertising and I hope that this wont effect Papercrafts Magazine as it is my favorite. Not to mention they are awesome to work for! Just my opinion!

CPS Sketch

This is my card for this week's CPS Sketch. My sister gave me some copic markers for my birthday, and I have been practicing with them. I will say that I still need lots more practice, but I am getting a little better. My blog friend Sparkle gave me some pointers, and it helped lots! I think she is the best at copic coloring by far. For starters I am trying simple, non-detailed images. I pulled out this Uptown Girl stamp set, that has been retired for years, but still one of my favorites. So I am still a colored pencil kinda girl, but I look for a few more projects with the copic markers coming soon.

March Operation Smile Project-Cupcake Recipe Box
I am really excited about this months Operation Smile project. This box can be used for so many things. In this project I used it for a recipe card box, but the possibilities are endless. Below you can see a project where it holds 2 king size Kit Kat Candy bars and I think it will also make a great box for cards as well.
If you would like to purchase the template visit my etsy store at
I will tell you that I found all of the recipes for the cupcakes here. I did edit the size of the recipes so they would fit in the box on 4x6 cards. They are also the same size used on this project.
I was thinking that you might like to have the already formatted recipes. So that all you have to do is print them out on cardstock and cut them out. There are a total of 10 recipes (2 per page) What do you think about those 5 pre formatted recipe pages also being sold for a $1.00 donation to Operation Smile? I gave you the address above for all of the recipes, but would it be easier if all you had to do was print them out? Leave me a comment on what you think, and I will decide based on those comments.
