So Vintage - Shabby Chic

Hi There! Here today for the Friends of Waltzingmouse Stamps August Blog Waltz. This month Claire challenged us all to create a project based on a Vintage-Shabby Chic theme (as you probably have guessed this happens to be my fave :) For complete Waltz details please visit the The Play Room. Here is myVintage-Shabby Chic card full of FRUIT...

Glittered Kindness

Hi Friends! Happy Labor Day if you are celebrating here in the US :) Hope you don't have to work! I feel fortunate to have had most of the weekend off besides an 8 hr shift on Saturday. Just a quick lil' card here to share. This week, Sharon is challenging us all to pull out our JustRite Stamps & make some Glitter Magic for this week's JustRite Friday Challenge...

Hi There! Thanks so much to all who played along with last week's Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge! So many fabulous projects! Here today with an all new sketch. Rather than making a card, I made a lil' home decoration wall hanging for my dear sister, Tina who takes care of my fur babies while I am out of town using the new Spellbinders™ Grand Nestabilities®...

Happy Birthday Mother...WMSC13

Hi Friends! Time for another Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge! Thanks to all who played along last week, there were once again so many gorgeous projects!I made this card for my Mother-In-Law, Barbara, who will be celebrating her 79th Birthday on September 10th. I pulled out both the LF-127 Grand Scalloped Squares & the LF-126 Grand Squares die templates to create the 1st mat of the card then using the S4-127 Classic Scalloped Squares LG....

Hi Friends! Thanks so much for the sweet comment on my Halloween banner that I made for the Friends of Waltzingmouse Stamps September Blog Waltz. Here today to share this card I made for this week's Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge. This card is rather Clean And Simple for me. I inked up Musical Backgrounds to create the background for the top layer & paired it with some pretty My Mind's Eye DP.....

My Sweet Valentine!
Here we are already thinking about the sweet people in our life. I love the way pink, green and brown look together. This card is made on Bazzill Petal Soft CS. There is three layers of CS, SU Chocolate Chip, Die Cuts With A View White, and Die Cuts With A View patterned paper from a Spring stack. In case anyone hasn't noticed, multi-layering is one of my favorite things to do! The middle section is made with SU Wild Wasabi CS and a piece of Die Cuts With A View White CS that is embossed using Cuttlebug a2 heart blocks. All the die cuts are made using Spellbinders Nestabilities scalloped circles and Flower Creations 3. All stamped images are from SU sets including Sweet On You, using VersaMagic chalk ink and embossed with Jo-Ann Craft Essentials clear powder. I assembled all the embellishments, adhered them to the card and finished it by attaching 3 Jo-Ann Craft Essentials antique brads.
Be Sweet!

Spring Is Just Around The Corner!

I love the holidays and all the preparation but I am sure glad to have a break from making Christmas cards and I am so excited to work with spring colors! Here is my first attempt! This card is made with Bazzill Petunia CS. I stamped the background paper with SU Seeing Spots and Simply Said stamp sets on SU Whisper White CS. The ink is SU Pretty in Pink, So Saffron and Certainly Celery. The tag is stamped with SU Lots of Thoughts stamp set in StazOn Timber Brown ink, then punched with SU Oval punch, and layered with an oval cut from Sizzix Tags and Frames Sizzlit set. I attached a piece of Jo-Ann Craft Essentials brown gingham ribbon around the stamped image, then adhered the tag. The little flower embellishment are made using EK Success various flower punches and attached to the card with Making Memories crystal brads. I like layering paper so I punched a Bazzill Aloe Vera border with a Martha Stewart border and added a piece of Bazzill Pear CS for contrast. I hope this card brightens your day!
