Inspire CARDS Challenge

Well, hello!
It feels like forever since I've blogged.  
The end of the month always seems a little slow in the
Papered Cottage blogosphere...just getting projects lined up 
for the weeks to follow :)  

This is the very last challenge that I'll share at 
My Scrapbook Nook
Bittersweet.
I love this final kit with all of the blues, greens and yellows.
Until recently, I've not noticed that I lean towards using this
color scheme quite a bit.   Echo Park definitely hit this one out of the park
(no pun intended) with For the Record 2!

We love a "Pinspo" Challenge at the Nook.
Pinspo is simply finding inspiration on Pinterest.  
Normally we post photos for cardmakers to work with, but this
week I've decided to let them choose their very own inspiration.
I found mine on Pinterest:

And here's my card:


So, if you're ever stumped for an idea (which I often am)
head on over to Pinterest!  It's fun to see the amazing things that people create & share!
See you soon ♥

Uno, Dos, Tres

That is the name for the
Wednesday CARDS Challenge 
Because the September Nook kit, "For the Record 2" by Echo Park 
is brimming with numbers and numerals,
 I thought a digit-themed card would be fun.

UNO, DOS, TRES
Uno: Use at least ONE number on your card
Dos: Use at least TWO patterned papers on your card
TRES: Use at least THREE embellishments 

Here's my take:
 Also included in the September Kit are beautiful 
crocheted doilies by My Mind's Eye and sequined flowers
by Petaloo.

Be sure, be SURE to check back tomorrow...we're having a 
UNITY + MY LITTLE SHOEBOX BLOG HOP
and I'll be having a little giveaway just because :)
See you then!

Something Borrowed, Something Blue

Something Borrowed, Something Blue 
is the name for the very first CARDS Challenge for September at

The Nook will be closing its doors at the end of this month, but boy, they're
going out with a bang with this final kit by Echo Park Paper:
"For the Record2"
The blues, greens and yellows are a perfect way to end the Summer.
For my challenge, I've asked participants to create a card using:

Something Borrowed: this can be anything unconventional to scrapbooking.
 Scour the house for an unusual item...use a cookie cutter as a template, 
fabric from an old dress, jewelry, or the image from a gift card as the inspiration
...just anything that inspires will do!
Something Blue:  make any color blue as your main color scheme.

Here's my take on the challenge:


Something Borrowed:  I always save bits and pieces of interesting clothing...especially denim.
  I cut a small piece from an old shirt and lined the back with a bit of batting and then machine
stitched into a heart design.

This card is two-part as I wanted to share some more of the lovelies that can
be found at PRO 31 DESIGNS

The blue braided trim and pearls, as well as the turquoise paper flowers 
are all in supply at www.pro31designs.com :)
