Vanishing Paper!

Hello! It's already the 15th of August!?! Which means that it's time for another ABC Challenge. The challenge for the next two weeks is V for Vanish. We're sponsored by Bugaboo and Tickled Pink Stamps, play along for a chance to win! I used a sweet image from Tickled Pink Stamps, I can just see my tom-boy Bailey as she gets older : )

I'm not going to lie, I had some trouble getting my head around "vanish"! I think that's one reason I like different challenges-different ways people can interpret them. I decided to make some of the papers and supplies I tend to hoard vanish! I used up what paper and some ribbon I had left from a past KI kit, as well as some CTMH brads and hinge. I also positioned the image and raised it a bit so a gift card could be hid behind it as well. I colored the image with Copics and added some Spica glitter pen to the mud and the red on her shirt, as well as the flowers. I used the August SFYTT, although I did end up leaving out the side panel and adding the flowers instead.

Thanks for looking! Be sure to check out the other fabulous vanishing cards from the rest of the design team, I hope you can play along.



Get Well Wishes

Hello! It's time for another ABC Challenge- U for Under the weather. Show us a get well card for a chance to win a prize from Stamp & Create.

My church sponsored a family this past Christmas. Their sweet 2 year old daughter, Khloe, has had a lot of health issues. She had a trach placed when she was an infant and recently had surgery again to remove the trach. She was so strong and her recovery has truly been inspiring! Her mother had mentioned on her blog that Khloe loved to open mail while being hospitalized. We put together a little care package for her, and I made this card to go along... I know it isn't technically a "get well card" and is more of "glad your surgery and recovery went well" but I really wanted to share it!

I colored Tilda with Copics and added Sparkles to her wings and halo. The paper pack is sooo old I honestly have no clue which one it is! It is glittered also, I figured every little girl loves glitter, right?? The verse is from Our Daily Bread Designs. Some misc ribbon, brads, and buttons finish it off, as well as a cross charm from Michaels.

Thanks for looking, I hope you have time to play along!
