Succulents are all the rage right now. I have them all over my house and in the window of my operatory at work. They are fascinating plants and so easy to grow...especially for someone like me who forgets to water them! 😂
Today's post is part of the Cupcake Inspirations theme challenge...deserts! I made a fun project using papers and stamps from Club Scrap'sSucculents collection! (Links to all available supplies will be listed at the end of this post.)
I'm all about making things easy and using Club Scrap's card and page formulas have become a part of my crafting routine. The cutting and assembly instructions along with the sketch not only makes paper crafting a piece of cake, but you have very little wasted paper and more time to enjoy the process. It makes card making and scrapbooking what it should be...fun.
Here's a closer look at my "one sheet purse" and cards!

It's hot outside and I'm hot inside and longing for some relief from the heat! Here in Louisiana, the temps have already been soaring into the 90's and it's not even August yet. We had a cool front come through yesterday and it was a BEAUTIFUL day! This morning was a comfortable 67°. I feel the fall coming on...just in time for the Christmas in July video hop!

I’ve made a set of three Christmas cards featuring Club Scrap’sHoliday Mail card kit as well as some Retro Santa digital images from Taylormadecards4u. (All available supplies will be listed in the supplies list at the end of this post).
Card #1
Club Scrap’s monthly card kits include supplies to easily create twelve handmade greeting cards. Each kit will have a coordinating set of unmounted stamps as an optional add on. I created my own background print using one of the stamp images from the Holiday Mail stamp set. I also used some of the cutapart tags from the kit as well as a Retro Santa digital image from Taylormadecards4u.
Card #2
I kept this card fairly simple using the vintage mailbox stamp image as the focal point. The matching ribbon included in the kit made a gorgeous bow accent! I stamped the image using versamark ink and heat embossed with fine detail white embossing powder. I inked the edges of the black card stock with Club Scrap's white pigment ink and some Earth ink on the card base. I trimmed one of the cutapart letter tags to insert in the mailbox!
Card #3
This last card features a sentiment image from the kit and another Retro Santa digital image. The embossed background was created using a discontinued Tim Holtz Alterations embossing folder. The sentiment was heat embossed with fine detail white embossing powder and the dry embossed card stock was dusted with Club Scrap's white pigment ink. The baker's twine and card stock are from the Holiday Mail kit.

I've been having flashbacks from the 80's. I'm 50 and I'm hitting puberty again!

I saw the original "Top Gun" in 1986 when I spent the summer in Europe. I was visiting a friend in Germany and I saw it for the first time in German. I didn't understand a word, but I didn't care! 😜 1986 was a good year for cult classics. "Pretty in Pink" made it's debut in January of '86. The film's soundtrack was fabulous and OMD's "If You Leave" was an international hit. I loved Molly Ringwald's style in this movie and wanted to dress just like her! Of course these memories influenced my creativity when creating for this week's Pretty in PinkCupcake Inspirations challenge.
I found a stock photo from the movie to use as my background. I edited it in Photoshop to create a sketchy black and white poster look and found a fun quote to go with it.
I printed everything on white card stock and trimmed. I added some pink and black matting and a little ink on the edges of the card stock for a some 80's vintage distressing. I also added some hot pink glitter glue on the boutonniere and her earring and a bit of black ribbon for interest.
