Cup of Birthday Wishes

We are feeling a little scrappy over at TGIF Challenges this week!  It's time to use those scraps off your desk and create something fun!

I have a bowl that I throw little bits and pieces of paper, ribbon and embellishments to save for later projects.  It's always fun to pull random scraps out to create something new!

I took this strip of black and white paper, a fussy cut floral image, a die cut heart and a few strands of White Frayed Ribbon and turned it into this...

I added a black and white Cup of Tea tea cup, a little Blushing Bride splatters and ink blended in the background and a Happiness Abounds birthday sentiment for the perfect cup of birthday wishes!

What will you do with the scraps in your stash?  Share your project with us this week at TGIF Challenges!

Happy Stamping!

Flowering Favorite New In Color - Control Freaks Blog Hop

Welcome to this months Control Freaks Blog Hop.  We are sharing our favorite new In-Colors today.  You may have just arrive from the creative Cindy of Hearts Delights Cards or you might just be getting started.  Either way, get ready for a colorful hop!

I love ALL of the new In Colors, so it was a little tricky to decide which one to pick.  After spending a day in my flower garden, I was inspired by some of the blue/purple colors that are slowing beginning to bloom.

I inked up some Happiness Abounds blooms, coloring them with my Orchid Oasis Stampin' Blends.   A little Daffodil Delight centre and some Parakeet Party leaves added just the right amount of color.

Some strips of Orchid Oasis In Color DSP created the perfect background and just a bit of bling was added with some Orchid Oasis Metallic Woven Ribbon, which I pulled apart for some delicate detail.

Next up is the marvelous Melissa of Rubber FUNatics.  

Thanks for stopping by today!  I hope you all have a wonderful, sunshine filled week!

Happy Stamping!
