Happy Anniversary

Hi everyone! I'm back today with an anniversary card I created for a few different challenges. I combined a tic, tac, toe, sketch and color challenge to create my card.

I did flowers, die-cut and embossing 

I really enjoyed combining these and using some products that I haven't yet used.  Pretty much everything on this card is the first time I've used them lol. 

I really liked the color choices as they were bright and cheerful.  To create the flowers I used poppy moments dies from Stampin' Up! and melon mambo, flirty flamingo and blushing bride cardstock. 

I used the painted poppies stamp set to get the splatters in blushing bride on the white strip.I think it adds just a bit of interest without overpowering the floral's. I used call me clover and pear pizzaz to create the leaves. 

THANKS FOR STOPPING BY!!

Blessings

I love this time of year.  The leaves falling, cooler weather, the smell of camp fires.  Brings out the festive side.  I wish I had more crafting items for this time of year.  I wanted to join in on a couple of challenges today and had to search my entire stash and finally found this one stamp that I knew would work. 

Card Concept  

 

 

 

This is what I came up with.  The wood pieces gave me a bit of a hassle but I finally got them to stay on.   The only bad thing is that I ended up with a smudge of ink from the wood piece on my cardstock.

 

 

 

Supplies: stamp set-Unity Stamps, cardstock-Stampin' Up!, wood pieces and embossing folder-Stampin' Up!, colored pencils-hobby lobby.

 

Merry Christmas Santa

This card took me a bit of time to come up with.  I finally got an order in the mail yesterday and couldn't wait to use it! I got the inside of the card all finished and had a complete blank when it came to the front.  Instead of just doing whatever to it I left it until this morning.  Fresh eyes and fully awake brain seemed to help.  I found this great sketch over at Mojo Monday and paired it with a celebrations challenge over at Stampin' Royalty and the below card is what I came up with.

 

 

 

 

 

Here is the inside.  This is what started the whole process.  I'm loving these pop up inserts. I'm not quite finished.  I'm wanting to add some sort of design inside as well.

Supplies: santa2stamp stamp set, santa dies, mini lights stamps and dies, happy holidays drop in dies (all items from The Stamps of Life), patterned paper-Anna Griffin, mistletoe hemp-lawn fawn, white liquid applique

Embrace New Beginnigs MOJO455

I have another co-worker moving on to bigger and better things.  While this makes me sad to see her go, I know she's doing it for herself and is truly happy.  I love making these cards for the girls but wish it was for something other than them leaving. 

I decided to use Mojo Monday's sketch this week for inspiration and it worked.  This card came together in about 10 minutes and I love it!!

Here is the sketch...

And here is my card...

2015

So it's finally time to start thinking about Graduation announcements and invitations. Say WHAT!!! I can't believe that in one short month my oldest will be graduating. I know he's so ready to move on and be done with high school but I'm not sure I'm ready for it. He's come such a long way and I can't wait to see what the rest of his life has to hold for him. 

Here is what I came up with so far.  This one would be an invitation to his party, which he really doesn't want. 

I used a sketch from Mojo Monday.  It's a tall and skinny but I made this card a standard A2. I'm happy with the way it came out.

Easter Sunday Stamping!

Since my kids are older I don't have all the fun Easter morning festivities.  So, I can sit and craft!! I created my card using two great challenges Mojo Monday and ColourQ.

I haven't made a "skinny" card before so this was a bit of a challenge for me. It was a lot of fun and turned out really cute.  I love the colors from the challenge.  Very springy and makes me happy.

Here is my finished card

Letting Go

 

 

I haven't played along with Mojo Monday in quite some time.  I wasn't even to sure I was going to craft at all today. I have been looking forward to my day off all week and really wanted to play with my stamping stuff.  But, I got some really bad/sad news this morning and it put the crafting on hold. 

 

After having to talk with my children and crying a bit I decided to take a look through my stamps.  If any stood out to me then I would make a card with this sketch.  This stamp from Unity Co was just what I needed.   It says what I feel and is perfect.

 

 

Here is the sketch
