INSPIRED BY - #IB172 HAPPY RETIREMENT

Happy Day!

This weeks Inspired By Challenge is music to my ears ....I'm READY for RETIREMENT :) !!! 

Here is the inspiration photo - #IB172 Happy Retirement.....

 

My inspiration came from the palm tree and green key chain pendants.

I dug out an old stamp set from Flourishes. It didn't come with a "retirement sentiment" so I had to improvise and just went with a "Congrats You Did it" sentiment. I also added some scored lines on top of my card base and added the Ribbon,  a Button and some Silver Pearls...voila!

Wishing you a fabulous day and have fun crafting!!! ~SL~

INSPIRED BY #IB171 - I WOOF CELEBRATING

Happy Thursday!

I "woof" this weeks Inspired By Challenge sooooooooo much..... 

Check out how stinkin' cute this weeks inspiration photo is - #IB171 - I Woof Celebration....

My inspiration came from the "celebration" theme, the puppies, and the colors in the background.

To be honest I had no idea which route to go with this inspiration...I usually shy away from the more "whimsical" designs, but after digging through my stamp stash I found this cute PTI - Paws & Kisses Set with the matching Die and it saved the day! The star background was created with the PTI - Birthday Balloon Set. The birthday hats are from an old retired GKD set. The sentiment is from Concord & 9th - Let's Party Turnabout Set. At last I added the "bow ties".

Hope you will have a chance to dig out your stamp sets and join us!?! Wishing you a crafty day!~SL~
