SSSC116 - Birthday Buttons

 Happy Mother's Day to all the Mom's out there!  I'm going to keep this post short and sweet (it's Saturday night right now) since I've been gardening all day, pulling weeds, planting and adding mulch and every muscle in my body is crying out for some Motrin.  It was nice spending some time in the garden today even though I'm tired, it's a good tired.

It's time for the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #116.  I decided to flip Karen's sketch and use the Papertrey Ink stamp set Button Boutique along with the coordinating dies and Doily Details die.  The card base is Night of Navy with a panel of Not Quite Navy along with some My Mind's Eye Stella & Rose designer paper.

To play along create a card using Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch, then go to Karen’s blog The Sweetest Thing and link your card so we can all see your creation!

SSSC115 - Flower Fusion

 It's time for another Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge!  I took Karen's sketch, flipped it and created two clean and simple cards using the Papertrey Ink stamp set Flower Fusion.  Both cards are 4 1/4" x 4 1/4" and use My Mind's Eye designer paper, the Flower Fusion Flower die, button, twine, pearls, orange zest twill, medium scallop border and some sewing.  The colors I used were Garden Green, Pumpkin Pie and Certainly Celery.

MOJO188 - Happy Mother's Day

Hello, hello, hello!  So did you watch the royal wedding this morning?  Kind of hard to miss, lol.  Personally I loved it, it's the closest thing to a modern day fairy tale...maybe I'm just a romantic.

Today I have a Mother's Day card that I created using my Taylored Expressions Key Ingredients Kit for April, the TE stamp set Fresh Flowers and the Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge #188.  Tomorrow is the last day to get your hands on the April Key Ingredients Kit which contains the fun The Girl's Paperie Kitch collection and so many wonderful accessories, believe me you don't want to miss out on this fabulous kit.  You can click here for more information on receiving a kit for yourself.

Thank you for stopping by!

SC330/CQC/PTI Make it Monday - All About YOU

It's Thursday and the weekend is almost here thank goodness!  Today I have another card for the Colour Queen Challenge #82 and the Papertrey Ink Make it Monday Challenge and also for the Splitcoast Stampers Sketch Challenge#330.  I had so much fun creating my card from yesterday and since I had all the colors out on my desk I decided to create another.  For this card I used the PTI stamp set All About YOU and I did the same rock & roll technique with the flowers as I did on my last card as well as some masking in order to make the leaves appear to be under the flowers.  I embossed the bottom portion of my card with a circle pattern to coordinate with the leaves and flower centers, added three buttons down the right side of the card, ribbon and a scallop border.

Have a great day!
