Mother's Day Card

This is the Mother's Day card I made for my sister Julie. It's simple but I really like how it came together.

Stamps: Blooming with Love
Paper: Lovely Lilac, Certainly Celery, Cutie Pie DP
Ink: Stazon Jet Black, Lovely Lilac
Acccessories: Certainly Celery 1/4" ribbon, Watercolor Pencils

This is a simple bag topper I made to match the card for my mom. I just measured the width of a small ziplock bag and made the topper just a little bit wider. When it was done I stapled it over a ziplock bag of homemade cookies!

Stamps: None, just some Sale-A-Bration rub ons!
Paper: Blue Bayou, Soft Sky, Ginger Blossom DP
Accessories: Dollar Spot Ribbon

Yes, I'm still around! We were on vacation for a week in North Carolina and I never got the time to post. So this is a card I made for my mom for watching my cat for us for the week! Thanks mom! The color combo is a past SCS challenge.

Stamps: Moose You
Paper: Soft Sky, Blue Bayou, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White, Ginger Blossom
Ink: Chocolate Chip
Accessories: Dimensionals, Dollar Spot Ribbon (that matched Blue Bayou and Soft Sky perfectly!!)

Happy to be crafting!!

Just a quick card I made to get myself back into the habit of crafting. I had been pretty busy and I hadn't made anything in awhile. The sketch and color combo are from past SCS Challenges.

Stamps: Happy Harmony

Paper: Old Olive, Purely Pomegrante, Pretty In Pink, Whisper White

Ink: Old Olive, Purely Pomegrantate, Pretty In Pink

Accessories: Silver Brads

More Name Frames!

I really like how they came out, but I'm not sure if I like them better than the one I made for Brianna. I'm just much better at making things for girls than boys. Justin's name fills the frame better but I'm not so sure about the green paper under the J. But of the five papers in the pack, I liked these the best.

Paper: Tempting Turquoise, More Mustard, East Coast Prep, Real Red
Accessories: Wild Wasabi Ribbon, Chipboard letters

My Dollar Spot Ribbon Gets Used!!

I originally wanted to make this card for this weeks technique challenge. You cut out an image and pop it up numerous times for a layered effect. I thought my moose would be perfect for it! Of course I thought so much about the rest of the card that I ended up forgetting to cut and pop up the moose. That happens to me a lot, I have a plan and then I forget about it and end up with something else! Otherwise I really love this card. The colors and layout are inspired by past challenges. At the end I realized it was missing something, I needed some sort of embellishment. I was looking through my basket for some Jolee's stickers when I found this ribbon from the Target Dollar Spot. It matches the Chocolate Chip and Blue Bayou perfectly!!

Stamps: Moose You
Ink: chocolate Chip, River Rock
Paper: Blue Bayou, Chocolate Chip, River Rock, Confetti White
Accessories: Dollar Spot Ribbon, Scallop Punch

Weekend Sketch Challenge #41

I have been wanting to use my All Natural set for a while now. With all of the new sets I've gotten lately it has gotten to the bottom of my pile. Beate's Weekend Sketch challenge worked really well with what I had in mind. The card is simple but I left it that way so I can add a sentiment later when I send it out.

The colors are from a past color challenge. I have printed out all of the past color and sketch challenges so I can use them for ideas when I'm stuck.

Stamps: All Natural
Paper: Old Olive, Certainly Celery, Summer Sun, Confetti White
Ink: Summer Sun, Old Olive
Accessories: Certainly Celery 1/4" Ribbon, brads
