what I mean!

Gobsmacked!

Evening..

sorry for the title.. but there's no other word for this blog... It's so inspirational to me for one reason only - but before I tell you why, I'd like you to take a look at these cards.

As you can see, this person's cards are absolutely stunning. There is so much detail goes into each card, the flowers, the layering and the total finish of the card inside and out, is just stunning. The colouring is so nice.

So why is she inspirational to me?

Well, this young lady is called Hanna, who has the most amazing blog HERE. There are card sketches which she creates herself, and other crafts, like beading. But by the standard of her work, you simply wouldn't guess she's only 13!! Yes.. 13. I actually can't quite believe that Hanna has such an amazing talent.

Totally inspirational!

Why not nip over and say Hi.. I'm sure she'd love to hear from you.

Recapturing Wonders

Hi everyone! Hope you are all having a great week. It's time to show you another one of my favorite paper crafters. I'd like to introduce you to Jessica Rosario and her blog Recapturing Wonders. She describes her style of card making as clean and simple. She's super talented. I've been following her blog for the majority of this year and I'm never disappointed in what she designs.

Look at this first card. I remember gasping when I first saw it. Doesn't it want to make you create your own version?

I think it's my favorite card that she's ever designed. Wow!





I love the texture on next this card. I love the teapot image too.



I like the linen texture and her use of watercolor pencils on the Thank You Berry Much card.









This card is SO creative. A fan with some dimension; I love it!




I loved her use of elements like felt, lace, and buttons. Such a well designed card!















I love Jessica's style. It very clean and fresh.






Please stop by Jessica's blog and tell her you saw her on Inspirational. Have a good one!

Hi Everyone

Sorry for the lack of posts from me.. things have just been a bit hectic in life, you know how it gets!

Anyway, I have still been browsing around the web and found lots of lovely blogs to share with you.

I'll start off with THIS one, which belongs to a lovely lady called Lou. I heard back the other day that she didn't mind if I featured her, which is great because I'm sure you're gonna love it!

When I first found Lou's blog, I totally fell in love with this card. The shape is so different to what you normally find, and it's just so cute.

This was my next favourite. I love the way the elements and colouring go together - I've seen lots of folks use this stamp, but they never catch my eye like this one did.

Quite simple, but very very stylish. The colours just say Christmas don't they?

I'm sure you'll love her projects too. so why not nip over and say HI.. I'm sure Lou would love to hear from you all. The blog link is Lulu's Cardmaking.
