Hello... {Inspired By Challenge #15}

This is my second post today, so please scroll down to see the other one.

...

I created this card for the Inspired By Challenge this week.

Here's the inspiration photo:

...do you have any idea how hard it was to actually use the {chocolate} eggs on my card and not eat them? 

I know one day when I'm having a chocolate craving, I will regret it... lol

Yeah, it's an odd item to add to a card, but I just happened to have them, and they look super cute!  ;)

So I guess I'm okay with adding food onto my papercrafts...  hehe.

Happy creating!  :)

Inspired By Challenge #4... 3x3 Thank You cards

Laurel has a new challenge up on her Inspired By Challenge Blog...

These little 3x3 thank you cards came together really pretty quickly.

I love the classic look of the colour combination of grey, black and yellow.

This is the inspiration photo...

The background stamp I used on my cards is from a past Stamp of the Month from August called Wicked.  Love the honeycomb look of it!

And the flower is from a new set available now until the end of January, called Rock The Block.

You can get the Rock the Block set right now for just $15 with a minimum $25 purchase from the Fall/Winter 2011 Idea Book.

I know exactly what I'm going to use the Collage Blocks for.

I'll be sure to share them when I get them done.

Happy creating!  :)
