BFTP- Summer Love

Hello! I am so excited to be a part of Taylored Expressions July Blast from the Past. This month's theme is Sending you Sunshine!! We definately have sunshine here in Iowa. It is so hot and humid that when I went outside to take pictures, my camera lens fogged over and I had to sit outside to let it adjust for awhile! My card took a turn towards lovey dovey, but summer is in the sentiment so it counts, right? : ) This is for my dad to give my mom on their anniversary, I know she'll love it. I received my first Key Ingredients Kit in the mail, and OH MY, I am so glad I subscribed! As soon as I got the package I was in my craft hole and this was the result! All the supplies are from the July Kit except the CTMH brads and the GKD button. The stamp set is Summer Afternoon. I used my Spica Glitter pen on the butterflies and dragonfly- it is so pretty!

Thanks for taking a look at my card, I hope you enjoy the rest of the hop!

Owl Tree

Hello! I hope you had a good weekend. Ours was pretty low key after last weekend, but that's great sometimes too! I was lucky this week and was able to escape to my craft room 3 nights, woo hoo! I didn't have a lot of time so I used images I already had colored and this card came together so quickly. I used Sketchy Thursday #138- seriously loved this sketch! I used my Spica glitter pen to add a little bling to the cute image

Birthday Girl

Hello! I made this card for my mom to give a friend for her birthday. I was given instructions to not "make the card mean just because it's her 60th birthday." I don't think this cutie could be mean if she wanted to : ) I used last week's Deconstructed Sketch, although I did flip the embellies a bit. This is also my submission for ATS Wednesday Challenge: anything goes. While I was looking through some of the past challenge's I was shocked to find one of my cards had won week 75 and I didn't know it... oops! Figured that one out a little late! Lesson learned: if I'm going to enter a challenge I should probably keep better track of them, lol.

Summer Flowers

Hello, I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend! Mine could not have been better. I even had time in my craft room. I made this card for my mom to give a former co-worker who is retiring. This card came together really quickly and is super cute in person! I used Taylored Expressions sketch #141.

Craig and Lysia's Goodbye...

Hello! I am so bummed at myself.... I had this card made 3 weeks ago and was so proud that I wasn't waiting until the last minute to play along with Jen's Sketch For You To Try... But here it is the last day in June and I am FINALLY getting around to getting it edited and posted...oops : ) My parent's pastor and his wife are moving, they are both such wonderful people and will definately be missed. He was truly one of the greatest blessings after Gabe's death and I will never forget him. So of course there is so much love put into this goodbye card : ) I colored the little cutie with Copics and cut out his head and popped up the bottom so he really is peeking out. The box is paper pieced with kraft cardstock with some shadowing with copics.

This card is also my submission for Heart 2 Heart's color challenge, although I did add some cocoa ribbon, and The Paper Shelter's anything goes challenge (seriously LOVE those images, gotta get me some!)
