February IAR Challenge

 Happy Thursday! Here's my project for the new challenge at the I Am Roses Challenge Blog


I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day. Here is a card that I created using soft pink and red flowers.


I made a trio of shaker hearts, ranging from small - large sizes. The red summer cottage flower adds a pop of color. I added a cute "Happy Valentine's Day" sentiment on a stitched flag banner die on the bottom.

IAR "New Beginnings" Blog Hop

 


Welcome everyone to the I Am Roses "New Beginnings" Blog Hop! Hope you are all enjoying the creations the Design Team has crafted for this Blog Hop. There are three prizes up for grabs. 

Here is my project for you today.


This is a wooden slice ornament that I altered with I Am Roses Flowers and other embellishments. All flowers used will be listed below. 


I used a snowman paper die cut as the centerpiece and pulled the color palette from there. A variety of flowers in different sizes adorn this ornament. I added a cute flair button and a mini gold star, along with a silver leaf branch to the left of the snowman.

The Greeting Farm - Ready, Set, Snow!

Hi everyone, Jo here. How's your weather this month? I hope you are staying warm and cozy. This fun Winter themed card was created using clear stamps sets Ready Set Snow and Holiday Anya 11, as well as the Happy Winter Digi Set. Let's get started!

The digital images were printed on Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 80lb cardstock using an inkjet printer. I die cut a scalloped rectangle frame in red cardstock. Using Distress Oxide Ink in Broken China, I stenciled in clouds and stamped some snowflakes.

All images were colored with Copic Markers and fussy cut out. The sentiment was stamped on a stitched rectangle die cut and adhered to the bottom of the frame.

Thank you so much for stopping by. Make sure to join our Facebook Community for more inspiration!

November I Am Roses Challenge

 **(CLICK HERE: The Greeting Farm November Release Blog Hop)**

Happy Wednesday! Here's my project for the new challenge at the I Am Roses Challenge Blog


I created this wreathe to use as décor to hang on the wall in my entryway. The original wreathe is from the .99 Store. It was sad and needed a lot of help.


I used a variety of flower sizes ranging from 1/4" - 3", tucked beneath some of the flowers and foliage that came with the original wreathe.


I used the Daisy Brown Stamens as a cute little "mushroom" accent tucked in around the flowers.

Lastly, our beautiful Anya resumed her travels, and headed to Athens to visit the Acropolis in the set called ANYA IN GREECE.

Gotta love Homebody Anya! She would be me, just with short hair hahaha. My card showcases this stamp set and I gave Anya a little companion from the Sweater Couple stamp set.
