R for Romance

Hello again! I'm sorry this post is up so late... it's been one of those weeks... again! I tell ya, if June so far  is any indicator of how this summer is going to be, I'm running! I hurt my back at work on Tuesday, so maybe not running : )

It's the 15th of the month which means time for another ABC Challenge- R for Romance! This challenge we're sponsored by Stamp and Create. I hope you have a chance to play along!

My card is one of my favorites! I wanted it to look like Tilda was sitting on the lace since I didn't have one of the accessory stamps for her to sit on. The paper is Crate Paper- Farmhouse. I think the pretty Prima rose makes it romantic, lol!

Well thanks for stopping by, I'm hoping, hoping to get some stamp time in today! I hope you do too and decide to join the challenge!

Quilted Friends

Hello! Can you believe it's already June 1st? Hopefully this summer doesn't just fly by, wishful thinking I know! It's Q's turn over at ABC Challenges, and we want to see your quilts... background, paper, image, you choose! We are sponsored by one of my absolute favorites, Bugaboo stamps! Play along for a chance to win.

I used Bugaboo's Flower Trio digi stamp on my card. The paper and ribbon are from a past KI kit. I used Card Patterns #167 as my base sketch. This card is also my submission for this week's Catch the Bug color challenge. I love these colors together! 

Thanks for looking, I hope you have a chance to play along with us... don't forget to link your challenge at the ABC Challenge blog for a chance to win!

Birthday Blessings

Hello! My great-aunt is visiting this week from North Carolina. We celebrated her 70th birthday on Sunday and this is the card I made her. It was such a beautiful day, and a very nice reunion with all the different generations there!

For my card I used a super sweet image from CC Designs and a sentiment from Verve. The patterned paper and ribbon is from a past KI kit. I just added some Prima flowers and CTMH brads and button. The sketch is Mojo Monday #241, only flipped. This card is also my submission for ATS Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes.

Thanks for looking!

P for Pockets

Hello everyone, it's the 15th of the month already! How is that possible? Oh well, one good thing is that means it's time for another ABC Challenge... P for Pockets. Instructions for making the pocket on my card will be at the bottom of my post if you're interested.

For my card I used a super cute Bugaboo image and colored him with Copics. The sentiment is Stampin Up. The Echo Park- Country Drive papers went perfectly with the image!

I hope you have a chance to play along with us! Link your card to ABC Challenges for a chance to win a gift certificate from Bunny Zoe's Crafts. I'm also entering this card into Catch The Bug's Things with Wings challenge.

 Pocket Instructions

1. take a 6x6 piece of double sided patterened paper and fold it lengthwise into a triangle.

2. with the triangle facing away from you, fold the top paper's point down to the base of the triangle. Return it back to the original triangle shape.

3. fold the right and left corners in so they meet along the top crease you made in the last step. Glue them down.

4. refold the top layer down (I cut off the very tips, just personal preference!)

I hope this all makes sense! Let me know if you have any questions.

Fabulous Mom

Hello again! I have one more card I was able to make this weekend to share. This is the card I will be giving my mom for Mother's Day. I sooo loved how it turned out. I flipped the Taylored Expressions sketch #157. I will definately use this one again, I love the flags. The Simple Stories- Fabulous patterned papers, flowers, and ribbon are all from the April KI kit... shocker I know! Sorry, I love this kit!

I stamped the wreath from TE Summer Wreath set and used flowers from the kit instead of coloring to give some dimension. I also used some smaller Prima flowers so there was some variation in the flower size. The Mom and sentiment are from Verve.

That's all from me for now, Thanks for looking!
