For my JUGS post, please click HERE :)


Hey bleeps!!! Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Ready for a dose of awesome color inspiration? I thought you might be :)

The colors at CR84FN this week are just the burst of color you need to get your mojo up and at em'!!!


Aren't those pictures just beautiful!!! They are courtesy of Adam at Embrace Life Photography; he's amazingly talented. Swing by and check out his site - so much inspiration!!!

The beautiful dresses in the picture inspired me to make a burnt-edge fabric flower. These flowers are so much fun to make (thanks to Dana, who introduced me to the technique!). Simply Vintagegirl, Emily Rose, has the most wonderful tutorial on her blog HERE. Her flower looks sooooo AMAZING!!!


I wanted the leaves to look a little watercolor-ish so I inked up the stamp with Pear Tart ink from Memento then spritzed it with a little water. What can I say, I was in the mood for a little experimentation :) I like the way it turned out - a little softer but still with a punch of color.

So this is our last week with Deb Hickman, our March guest DT.  We really enjoyed having you on board for the month. Thanks so much for your sharing your amazing talent with us! 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Fabulous burnt flower technique. The leaves turned out fabulously. I have seen how the flowers are done and have to say I have been too lazy to try. I need to dig out the right kind of fabric and give it a go. :)
