Hydrangea Thank You

A simple card this week with a lot going on. I used this weeks Mojo Monday sketch and a new

Hostess Set from the Stampin Up 2015-2016 catalog.

I based the card with retired card stock certainly celery and coastal cabana. Then matted it with DSP Winter Frost.  Inked the bottom of the card with coastal cabana ink, using the ornament stamp from the Festival of Trees.
Colored the hydrangea with SU inks with my aqua painters pen. Punched a butterfly with crisp cantaloupe from the Beautiful Wings Embosslits and added it to the edge of the sentiment. A touch of Silver with Wink of Stella to the flower to make it glisten.

Thanks for stopping by,

Have you found your Prince?

Two cards accomplished so far, I know its silly but I am such a perfectionist. When I make a card it usually takes me 4 or 5 days to complete, this one only took me 2 evenings to finish. I wanted this card to be for an engagement but looks more princess-girlie to me?

I took part in the Mojo Monday card sketch challenge.

Leave a comment or follow my blog, I love to follow everyone else!

Have a great weekend :)

Pamper Yourself

It has been a long 10 months but the day is finally here I have my craft room painted, tables set up and almost all my craft boxes put away. Which gave me the opportunity to craft away till my heart was content.

Since I haven't made anything in so long I though it was funny, when I started to score the paper for my card base. I was actually nervous and out of touch. But soon once I started stamping and using my cuttlebug, ahh yes it all came back to me ...whoa thank goodness!

Nothing like making my first card easy, nope I decided to do 3 Challenges all-in-one. This weeks Mojo Monday,
Color Throwdown & Moxie Fab World: The Paper Piecing Challenge.
I received a Cricut for Christmas and purchased the Sure Cuts A Lot computer program. I tried it out and I love it! I used it for the base of my card, the circles and the pink scalloped border.

I hope you all enjoy viewing my first card of the year and I hope for many more ahead to come!

Thank You

An interesting color combination on Splitcoaststampers this week, CC271 . I've been trying to incorporate in my cards lately more designer papers. As I buy them because they are pretty, but like many other paper crafters they are too pretty to use and get tucked away into our paper collections.

I have been enjoying the weekly Mojo Monday (139) Sketches. Here is another great one created by Julee Tilman.

First Wedding of the Year...

Congratulations

After searching for a while through some other blogs I think I finally got the hand of how everyone is making this pretty ribbon ruffle on there cards lately. {What do you think of my take at it?}
I made this card for a girlfriend that is getting married today who I worked with 10 years ago and it has probably been the same amount of time since we last saw each other.


This is the first time I have finished the inside of the card. Usually I don't like the looks of this done to cards but for this card I thought it would be appropriate to complete it as the little envelope contains my gift to the happy couple.
