"Blissful"

Been playing with my new dies and paperline lately! Here is "Blissful" paper by Authentique. I also used my new nesting blossom and nesting eyelet rectangles! I made this flower using my dies and then folding between each petal. I then ran my scissors along each edge to distress. I then pinched each crease upwards so the petals curled a little. The center is a vintage snap for sewing! Thanks for looking!

Practice Perfect Happiness

Been loving this new Authentique paperline! I used my new nesting eyelet rectangle die, which I love how small the itty bitty nesting dies get! I added my vintage ribbon and button, and can't forget my latest craze, a couple of fabric yo-yos! :)

Sorry the coloring is a little off-been playing with the color saturater since the sun sort of washes out the color sometimes!

Say "Yes" to the Dress

Do you ever watch that show? I can't stop watching it! Anyways, maybe my card is suggesting I watch it too much! :) Here I used a mini hanger clip and my wedding dress qk die. I used my new foam stamps to accent each corner. I used my favorite white crackle pain.

Thanks for looking!

Fishies!

I had a lot of fun making this card, as soon as I got the new LC coral dies I knew they would look perfect in a fish bowl! I didn't have a template for a fish bowl so I just cut out a circle and sliced each side (more on the top than the bottom) until it looked "right". I then added a small strip to the top to hold both sides of the card together and rounded each end. My friend Pam found the fish buttons and the rocks on the bottom are crumpled up gray paper that I chalked.


For the inside, I used my new Tiki alphabet! :)

Vintage Blue

Inspired by the new blue vintage Basic Grey paper I found and added my vintage trimmings!

Pretty In Pink

Made with my new Authentique paper line. I used vintage pages from an old book for part of the background.

***This just in! I am signed up and ready to go to ScrapFest 2011!!!

Turquoise and Yellow

Been on a turqoise and yellow kick recently! Here is a series of cards I made last weekend!

I found this mini bell at a vintage shop at the bottom of my box-I thought it went perfect with this card as a little charm!

I love this flower die from the WildFlower Gift set. It is now down to $34.99! Check it out here.

Baby Button Bear Card

Just a fun baby card for a friend. Baby button bear and baby accessories are from scrapbuggy.com. Super fun to play with!

Oval card was attached together with a ribbon bow. Thanks for looking! :)

Fun with Stamping!

I have to admit. I have a ton of stamps but rarely ever use them. I tend to collect them! I thought I would pull them out and try that technique where you stamp on pattern paper to add spice to your project! This mini card below is one of my favorite...especially the inside... That mini soap is the size of a pinky fingernail! Very small!!

I found this shabby chic paper and instantly fell in love! I was inspired by Faye at CupcakeCraftChallenges blog, she made a cupcake card with the same technique I believe!

The background fabric comes in artist trading card size AND it is adhesive! I was surprised on how well the stamp showed up on it!

Thanks for stopping by! :)

Few New Cards...

Can't get enough of my white crackle glue. Used "Celebrate" qk sayings and mini tag. I also used my coffee sleeve to matte my sayings.

Pink crepe paper was used to make this flower. I also used the swirl qk border and added sparkle to accent the flowers on the paper. Thanks for looking! :)

For You...

Just a little card using qk sayings "For You" and Die-Namics banner die.
