Garden Groovy Skies


This card was made for SplitCoast Color Challenge CC128, and I love how soft and pretty it turned out. I was able to use up some scrapbook snaps that were given to me, they matched perfectly! I love Garden Silhouettes, such a pretty stampset, I put it with the linen background set and lots of layers. I used a Hero Arts Sentiment that I picked up at Quilted Bear last week, I really like it.

In My Prayers


This card was made for my son, with Cranberry Crisp Ink, Flannel Background, textured paper that was in my stash forever, and the new sentiment I got last week. I love the colors and textures, the sentiment is popped up.

Baby Shower Gift Card Matches Scrapbook Pages



This card was made in a big hurry, I forgot I had to have a card to go with the cute matching blanket and cap gift I gave. So I made this up very fast. (15 min) I don't really like the baby stamps I have very much, so I grabbed an extra image from doing the scrapbook pages, and this is what happened. I felt like the card looked better in real life than in this photo...but maybe I just like the card, lol. Anyway, the scalloped square was done on the cricut, a leftover from the scrapbook pages that I didn't want to use, so I already had it. The sentiment was pieced together from some random stamps I had along with the cowboy Howdy from a Stampin Up set. The card uses Barely Banana Card Stock, Bashful Blue and Very Vanilla. The dotted chiffon was from Walmart. Chocolate Chip Ink, Tim Holtz Distressing Tea Ink, and SU Brads. The image was colored with Rose Art Colored Pencils. Anyway it worked, and I think it's cute...and new mom to be liked it too!

Baby Shower Scrapbook Pages



I'm invited to a baby shower tomorrow evening, and the hostess asked us all to whip up a couple of scrapbook pages, so the new mother will have a wonderful book to fill with pictures! Our hostess brought us all some paper, so things will go together nicely. Since the name of the paper was Cowboy, that's the SU stamp set I chose, along with Office Accoutrement's and Petals and Paisley. Also the stars from Love it are in Versamark on the yellow background paper on the cute baby page. I like the way they turned out, even without the pictures yet! I've already dropped off the pages, and she will present them all in the scrapbook, I can't wait to see everyone elses pages....

LDSMoms Card Exchange

 

I belong to a group of great ladies in a yahoo group called ldsmoms. We did a card exchange this summer, and here are the cards...now sometimes when you do an exchange with people who are not on card sites or "into" just cards you get some strange looking stuff back. Not with these ladies...look at this fun stuff. Thank YOU so much ladies, fun, fun, I love looking at these, and it will be hard to send them to anyone else! That's why I had to take a picture of them, I want to remember each card! Thank you again, and I'm looking forward to doing this again.

Star Just Be U!



 

This card was inspired by my entry decor. I've been thinking I need to find some fall decorations and been looking at the space often. When I wanted to use up the scraps of Outlaw Dsp with the stars, I thought Big Big Star, like in the entryway. Anyway, here's the card.

Birthday Friend

 

This one I made for a friend's birthday. I had fun trying this long card, I think it turned out OK. I used Outlaw Designer Series Paper from Stampin Up. Plus Very Vanilla, Daisy D red printed cardstock, Sanded Background stamp, All Holiday's sentiments. Scallop Punch, brown grosgrain, twine and pewter brads, plus a designer brad.

Smiling Outlaw

 
I call this card the Smiling Outlaw because Outlaw is the name of the Stampin Up designer paper. Actually in looking at it it maybe should be called smiling sheriff...that star is sort of more sheriff than outlaw, lol. Anyway, this is for the Sketch Challenge on SCS today. I will send it to my son in Minnesota!
