Loves Rubberstamps "Inspiration Day" featuring "PI Little Shutterbug" by MFT

Hello Friends!  Hope you all enjoyed a wonderful and safe New Year's celebration with your family and friends.  Today is a very special day for me for a few reasons! First, it is special to me because it is my birthday and we have a fun family mini trip we are enjoying this weekend!  It's also special because this is my first Inspiration Day post for  Loves Rubberstamps!  I will be sharing weekly projects with  you each Saturday and I hope these will inspire you in the new Year 2014! :)

Here is my Inspiration card for you today....

As many of you know, this week's Loves Rubberstamps challenge was "New Year's Resolutions".  I wanted to continue that theme with a card that portrays one of my additonal goals for  2014.  I absolutely love taking pictures and have always wanted to build on my photography skills.  So this year, I plan to take some classes to do just that!  I'm so excited about this and hope it will show in my pictures! :) This card features the adorable PI Little Shutterbug by MFT.  She is so sweet and I had so much fun coloring her up with my copics and paper piecing her cute dress. The fun paper collection I used is called Here and Now by Echo Park.  I saw those colorful cameras and I couldn't resist using it in my backround.  The stitched layered circles behind this cute gal are from Lil' Inkers.  The fun sentiment "Have a Picture Perfect Day" also comes from this same stamp set.

Here are some additional supplies used on my card:

Victorian Velvet-Tim Holtz Distress Ink

Mono Multi-Liquid Glue-Tombow

Black Tuxedo-Memento 

Gingham red ribbon and pearls from my stash

You can find most of these supplies at the Loves Rubberstamps store!

Hope you all enjoy my 1st Loves Rubberstamps Inspiration Day card and thanks so much for stopping by! :)
