Make a Wish

Hey all! It's a late night post for me so going to make this short. Here's my card for this week's Card Patterns sketch #59 using Bella paper with lots of candles. Stamp, Scrap, & Doodle's Saturday challenge is to make a birthday card. The cupcake image is from Inkadinkado and the sentiment was trimmed because it included a candle image with it. I used some Stickles on the pink frosting and an orange sequin for the candle flame.


Thanks for stopping by!

Flowers bloom

Hey there everyone! I hope you are having a terrific Tuesday! I am back today with a Spring card. I used the Little Red Wagon's sketch 23 and Our Creative Corner's challenge: bows.

I just discovered Little Red Wagon's blog and think it's the cutest! Each Wednesday a new challenge is posted to inspire you to create. Want to see some perfect bows? Head over to Our Creative Corner's blog to see what the DT has made to inspire. Oh my!

Off to fix dinner for the family and then drama class. Wishing a wonderful evening!

Happy Earth Day!

In just a few weeks it will be Earth Day! To celebrate I have created two cards using The Cutting Cafe Earth Day Printable stamp set. This is a new set created by Regina that has 20 images.

She also created three new background sets to coordinate with the set above.

For my first card, I used Unscripted Sketches #50 sketch:

I used Creatively-Green's 100% recycled cardstock in Cafe' au lait and Olive Martini. Everything is on sale at the store currently so click on the link to get great prices on cardstock, embellishments, ribbon, and more!

On this card, I took The Pink Elephant's challenge-nature by making a tree trunk from felt stickers, a tree top from a scallop punch, and then added a little felt bird sticker.

Again, I used Creatively-Green's 100% recycled cardstock in Ember and Yukon Gold.

Last day of Spring Break and Dad you're the best!

Now that the Easter holiday and Spring Break are officially over, it's time to get back into the routine. I kept thinking I would have more time to create over the break but it was not be. But I am glad I had some downtime to just relax! Everyone needs that once in a while.
My card for today is based on Laura's #49 sketch this week. I had to have this adorable hippo digi image by Jane Beljo when I saw it. She is sponsoring 2S4Y this week so be sure to see her images in use by the DT and visit her store at Squigglefly. It's just the cutest! I made this card for Father's Day so I kept it pretty simple.

I used Stampin' Up pattern papers that I bought quite a while ago. I made the tag myself and added a AC Mini Marks rub-on and black glitter Thickers for "Dad". A simple button with DMC floss to embellish.

Okay that's it for me today. I need to get some laundry done. Always have laundry. :-)

Happy Easter!

Okay, I am a little early but wanted to share my Easter card with you today. I found this adorable vintage image at PeggyLovesVintage. You can go to her site and download the bunny and also enter her contest using this image. I used Card Pattern's #57 sketch for my card. I feel like I added tons to this card before stopping. I couldn't help myself. I need to learn to step away. For the background I used The Cutting Cafe' aqua polka dots .
Kinda in a hurry! Sorry more later!

Sunshine

We don't have sunshine here but should have lots of it by the end of the week. I thought I would make a cheery card with Spring colors to make me think of those warm sunny days.
I used K & Co. pattern paper, silver Stickles, and Darice rhinestones to make.
This card uses:
CPS sketch #160 - sketch
CharismaCardz "Spring had sprung" #12 challenge
Color Create's "Pastels with Spring influence"
Pollycraft's "Sparkly things" #36 challenge - butterfly
Pratical Scrapper's - use something you have had for over a year- pattern paper

That's a record for me. I rarely meet 2 challenges on one card so this is by far a huge accomplishment. Whew!
Happy Monday!

Fabulous You and winner of Cutting Cafe's Beautiful Blooms

A huge thank you to all that left me a comment to win the new Beautiful Blooms set from The Cutting Cafe this week. As promised, I am back with a winner drawn via my darling daughter. I wrote all the names on slips of paper and had her draw one from a basket.
It gave me an excuse to get a picture of her. Which she so rarely lets me do anymore happily. So the winner is......

Debbi!

I also wanted to share a card I made with my gcd Studios Melody Ross collection. I used CardPatterns sketch#56 and The Shabby Tea Room's "Spring Inspired - with stitching" challenge.

The left panel of the card is covered with pattern paper to hide the stitching. I thought it looked a little odd with nothing on the right so I added "you", a decorative border, and bling to complete.

Thanks for coming by!
