Sensational Sunday Inspirations + Blog Candy

Hi Stampers!

Hope your weekend is going well so far! Our weather is super cruddy today! We have had freezing rain off and on since 3am this morning. It is like an ice skating rink outside! I felt bad for our puppies because I let them out to go potty and when they jumped on the stairs their feet went out from under them and they face planted because they were not expecting the slick! LOL! It is the perfect day to stay home and get some crafting done today :) I have TONS of projects running through my brain so I hope I can focus and at least get ONE finished - LOL! The hard part will be what to make first :D

This is sooo sooo gorgeous! Shanna always blows me away with her beautiful coloring! I love the gorgeous colors, and the flower accent with the sheer ribbon! It goes perfectly with this! If you want to own some of Shanna's gorgeous cards she sells some of them on Etsy. I just HAD to buy two of them last week :D and I have to say that they are even more gorgeous in person! Check out her store when you get a chance!

This is absolutely STUNNING! The blues are so soft & pretty and this image looks awesome done in these colors! I love all the pretty flowers and that gorgeous ribbon is perfect! Check out the bling flourishes too! Marcy told me that she created this for a friend and I am sure that her friend is not only super lucky to receive a gorgeous gift like this, but I know that she will treasure it always! Such a beautiful job!!

Athina Emory

How adorable is this?!?! I LOVE how Athina used her little Devil Lucy for Valentine's Day! What a fun image to use on a card for your hubby or significant other...a little naughty love devil - LOL! Well her little devil has a sweet side you can tell by the pretty bling and flower accents. Perfect balance between naughty and nice! I am blown away by Athina's coloring too! Such a gorgeous job! I absolutely love this card!

Lydia Walker

Lawn Fawn - My Cup of Tea

My Favorite Things Die-Namics - Faux Crochet Border Die

Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Black Soot

This is such an adorable and totally sweet card! I love the black and white with the splash of gorgeous blue for the tea steam! I love how Lydia made this look like a little lacy table cloth for the tea pot and tea cup to sit on! Such an elegant card that would be perfect for many occasions!

Olivia Marmara

I was super excited to see that Olivia was able to join the inspiration blast this week! Her project is gorgeous! I love the vintage, shabby chic look of this cute card that is perfect for Valentine's day! The accents that Olivia chose are so pretty...the flowers, the pearl flourishes, the lace, the doily! I love it all!! Not to mention that her coloring of that adorable image is so pretty! Beautiful job Olivia!!
