A Mother's Day Sunflower

Happy Friday my blogger friends!  It has been a wonderful day here at my house...there was nothing on my calendar today!  I actually got quite a bit done...cleaned up the toy box for the grandkids, vacuumed the living room, washed sheets, made lunch for my hubby, and, my favorite part, I made a Mother's Day card for a friend!

This card features Molly Sunflower from Stamp Anniething.  isn't she just the cutest?  Oh my...I love the images from them!  The paper and embellishments are from Simple Stories and is from the Sunshine & Happiness collection.  I have to tell you...I really love this card!  It is clean, it is simple, and it is super cute!  The card layout is the CAS(E) the Sketch sketch challenge for the week.

I hope you all have an amazing weekend!  If you are a mama...have a wonderful Mother's Day!  If you aren't...spoil that mama!

happy birthday

Good morning friends!  I know that, once again, it has been awhile since I've been here.  I've been going through a little bit of a crafting funk but I think it is getting better which is why I'm here to share with you today.

My niece is having a birthday in about a week so I wanted to make her a card.  She is turning 21!!  I can hardly believe it!  She is attending the Air Force Academy in Colorado so I tried to make the card center around that.

 The Air Force colors are blue and grey so I went with that color scheme.  The image is Liberty - Super Girl (because you know...all of our military members are super heroes!) from Stamp AnnieThing.  The papers are from Doodle Bug Design and are from a couple of different packs.  I've used dies from Jaded Blossom for her party hat, rectangle cuts, and flag.  The happy birthday sentiment is from Jaded Blossom's So Many Birthdays 2 set (40% off stamps at JB right now!).  Liberty and AF logos you see I cut with my  new Brother CutNScan...that machine is amazing!  Due to the hat and flag hanging off the side of the card I made an envelope that is 5"x6" to make sure nothing gets all bent up.  The sketch is a little altered but I used the Kraftin' Kimmie sketch for the month. 

Well, there you have it!  I'm excited to do some more crafting today and be able to share it soon.  You'll want to keep stopping back as I've finished creating for the MHKDesigns new release later this month and the images/sentiments are just fabulous!

Have a wonderful Sunday everyone!

You're Invited!

Good morning friends!  My time has just been taken up with fair 'stuff' so I haven't had much time to create BUT I had to play along with Stamp Anniething's monthly theme week which is to create something inspired by a movie, character, song, brand, etc so with the new Beauty & The Beast Live Action movie coming out in March I thought I'd make a card inspired by Belle.

I've used Stamp Anniething's Paige - Sugar & Spice image.  Then, because I love B&TB so much anyway I went to Etsy and found some B&TB papers to make my card and then popped Belle up on some foam dots so she really stands out.  I followed an old sketch and turned this card into an invitation using Jaded Blossom's new Invitation Galore set. 

Well, that is it for me for today!  The fair officially starts today so I'll be over there several times helping out with 'barn duty' which is just making sure nothing in the Home Arts building gets destroyed during the fair.  Have a wonderful day!

Happy Brithday Emily!

Happy Friday!  Woohoo...we made it through another week!  A friend of mine is turning 10 on Monday so, of course, I had to make her a card.  After discussing with her mom what her favorite activities are I settled on using a uber cute Stamp Anniething image.  Check it out:

The layout is the current Sketch Saturday layout.  I really love this one too and may use it more.  The papers are from SU! and the sentiment is from Jaded Blossom.  Since I won't be able to see her on her actual birthday we all had lunch today and my friend really loved the card (and the gift card for froyo inside, too) and it totally looks like her.  She laughed when I told her the 'pants' are LuLaRoe leggins and a skirt...lol!  She LOVES LLR!

Well, there you have it!  I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Smile!

Happy Hump Day!  Can you believe it is Wednesday already?  It is funny how things get all messed up with a holiday, huh?

Today I thought I'd share with you a card that I made for Stamp AnnieThing's June weekly challenge which is stars and stripes!  It would seem natural for me to do a card with red, white and blue being that it is July however this time I decided to go a different way and I love the results!

For this card I used the Brooke-Smile image and sentiment set.  Instead of using Copic markers to color with this time I used my Prismacolor colored pencils and blender pencil.  It is definitely a different look for a card of mine but I like it!  The papers are from a retired SU! paper stack.

Inside I just put another star and stamped smile again.  Just a little something to make the inside special too.

For this card I've used this week's Mojo Monday sketch.  I'm also adding this card to the following challenges:  Fantasy Stampers-Stars, Love To Scrap Challenge - Stars, Repeat Impressions - Color Challenge, and Craft Your Passion Challenge - Anything Goes.

Thanks for stopping by and for your comments!

Wintery Birthday

It's birthday time in my family again, this time it's my sister-in-laws birthday and it is the day after Thanksgiving this year so I  have to make sure to get it in the mail on time!  I decided I needed to use this super cute Felicity image from Stamp AnnieThing.  This image was released last month and has been looking at me wanting me to use it...so I did!

 

I think this card looks very wintery (and maybe not so much like a birthday card but the sentiment inside is definitely birthday) and that is kinda on purpose as my SIL hates winter (but they live in WI, lol!).  I used paper from the SU! pack called Fresh Prints which I'm sure is retired now but I just love those colors! I used dies from the Card Mat Dies set, Winter Die set and the Flag set, all from Jaded Blossom.  I also cut out the offset on which to stamp Felicity on my Cameo...Stamp AnnieThing provides those SVG files for free which is wonderful!  This layout is the sketch from Sketch Saturday for this week so I'll be entering it there as well as the Craftin' Desert Diva's Make It Sparkle linky challenge...Felicity's skirt, scarf and even the frap cream has sparkle on it as well as the ice paper and the paper behind Felicity (it looks really pretty in real life), the Love To Scrap Challenge Blog which is anything goes this time, Craft Your Passion is anything goes, and I think I'll show it off at my own PDE Linky Party this week too!

Alright, friends I'm off for the day and headed for the 'big city'.  I hope you have a wonderful Monday!
