You are berry sweet!

  Happy Sunday all!  Today I get to share my card for Sentimental Sunday's newest challenge which is banners/pennants. 

I am working on clearing out scraps so I can make way for those new paper lines being released.  The LSS already has quite a few I want but I feel guilt buying new papers when old papers sit.  For this I used a Tiddly Inks digital image printed on a WRMK's polka dot print.  I cut it out and added a green top with dimensional dots for depth.  Most of the scraps are from Sass Lass, GCD Studios, and Bazzill.  I made my pennant banner using pink twine and added heart die cuts.  I used Stickles on the "seeds" of my berry which did not show very well in the photo. 

I hope you like and thanks for stopping by!

SRM Sticker's Valentine Pockets

 Hey there!  Have you seen SRM Stickers newest stickers?  Check them out here!  I made a few Valentines goodies using Bright Labels by the Dozen and Valentine's We've Got Your Border.   These are easy to create brown bag pockets for those sweet treats you want to give your sweetie!  I cut the bottom off brown lunch sacks and then stitched around the edges.  I focused on the border and label stickers by using minimal print paper. I can't wait to tuck a home made treat inside!

 I added a Valentine border stickers to the top and bottom of my decorative paper.

I added a label and then created a white banner using the sentiment (also from the border sheet) which I accented with a few chipboard pieces. 

                                                              Here's another pocket

These bags were created using

SRM Stickers Label by the Dozen:  #63001 EveryDay Brights

We've Got Your Border: #57007 Valentine

Smile Donkey!

 Hey!  I have a super simple card for today.  I made this for the new Sentimental Sunday's challenge and used a Bugaboo image who is sponsoring.

So a little bit about this card. I printed my donkey image on pattern ppaer and then cut out.  I used foam dots to pop him up on the red polka dot paper.    All papers are  My Mind's Eye .  I added a sticker sentiment from SRM Sticker.  Then I made a tail with twine from The Twinery.    That's pretty simple for me.  

Thanks for looking!

Shabby Chic pockets

 I am sharing my shabby chic pockets today.  I made these for a swap and filled them with handmade tags and a few goodies. :-) These were a delight to create and my only wish was to have made an extra one to keep.  I sure hope the ladies that received them are enjoying!
***Warning this is photo heavy!!***

 I made the tags and pockets  with manilla file folders.  I trimmed the folders to 5 x 6.  I stitched the edges to make it a nice sturdy pocket.  They have vintage sheet panels on the front and back paired with papers from My Mind's Eye.  Each one has been distressed with ink for a slight aged effect.  All three pockets are slightly different so be sure to scroll down and see.  At the end, I have shown each tag I made you see in the pockets.

 I had photo frames that I distressed lightly to highlight a piece of MME paper on this one.  I also added a vintage ticket stub which is peeking out on the far left.  The roses and leaves are from Prima.  I added the baby blue seam binding and a gold twine bow to each pocket.

                                             These are the three tags I made to put inside.

                                                   Thank you so very much for stopping by!

A shabby birthday wish

  Hey there!  Hope you are having a blessed day!  A quick post for me today.

I used kraft card stock with a few scrap print papers.  I stamped the wood grain banners, cut them out, and then inked the edges.  I added a purple twine and attached to the floral print panel with pop dots.  The scallop, red stripe, and sentient are from SRM Stickers.  I stitched a small chevron piece I cut from the print.  The challenge at Sentimental Sundays is to use paint so I pulled my white paint dauber put and inked the edges to complete. 

Hope you like!

Holy Cow it's Sunday!

 Hey everyone!  I hope you are having a blessed day where ever you may be.  I am going to share with you my Sentimental Sundays card and then need to head out and start my day.

This is my pink holy cow from Bugaboo Stamps.    I went whimsical this week.  Our challenge is BINGO    and I chose to use kraft paper, pearls, and twine.  

I used My Mind's Eye papers with a SU pink card stock.  I colored in the cow with a Copic and then used Stickles for her halo, wings, and clouds.  A piece of sand colored twine is wrapped around my doily border which is a Martha Stewart punch.  I cut a hexagon in half to make my tab on the right, stapled it and added three pearls.  I hope you like and come join us!

You're invited to a picnic!

Happy Wednesday!  I am back to share two cards today with you.  It's quite the pair. 
My first card is for Penny's newest challenge: watermelons in honor of national watermelon day. 

I used some MME papers(So Sophie) and g.c.d (Melody Ross) paired with this super adorable image from Digi My World. This is "Watermelon  Day Brittney" and she's ready to share some watermelon with you!  That's a SRM sticker I used with some rhinestones.  I brought this green seam binding back from Paris.  I love this color!  It makes perfect bows!  Sadly, it's already half gone.  :-(

Crafts and Me: #46 Anything Goes

Creative Crafts Challenge: Summertime

Creative Inspirations: Summer

Divas by Design: #7 Summer

Going Grey with Scrap-creations: Buttons or  Bows

Tuesday Throwdown: #60 Summertime

My next card is for Crafty Creations Challenge this week which is by  invitation.  I made this card with Digi's with Attitude "Viagra Simon".  Ironically, my SO is named Simon.  Also his birthday is coming up and because he is older than me I like to tease him about being the oldest.  I know, it's not very nice of me.  I do it in a loving way.  Life's too short to be upset and uptight so I'd rather make a joke and smile about it.  Inside reads, "to old age!"

I made a pennant card for this.  Then lined with some older paper scraps from Sassafras Lass.  I cut a small piece of twill, stapled it down and then tied a button with brown baker's twine around it. That's a journaling spot from Elle's Studio.  A friend sent me the blue ticket and I just added another button.    I hope he smiles.  That's what I really want  for him to do when he sees it.  I think he will since he's clearly no where near this man's age and has all of his teeth.  Thankfully!  Also not a prune fan.   Challenges I would like to enter this card in:
