Sending Summer Smiles

I made this card for the Sketch Challenge on SCS. This card took me forever! How come the simpler the sketch the longer it takes? The paper I used is PTI Polka Dot Parade, Summer Sunrise and Lemon Tart. The ribbon is also PTI Summer Sunrise. The butterflies are Martha Stewart Punches. I also added some lace and Flourishes. The sentiment is from Impression Obsession. Thanks for looking!

Lately I have been into cupcakes, real cupcakes, Today I let Brooke have a half of a chocolate cupcake (don't tell her Mom) after lunch. All she said was Mmmmm! Mmmmmm! Mmmmmm! So since I had cupcakes on the brain, and on Brooke's shirt I felt I needed to make a cupcake card.The cupcake images are from Impression Obsession, the set is called Birthday Cupcakes, and the paper is Basic Grey Bittersweet. Both are available at i {heart} papers. Kate is always adding new items to the store, stop on over and take a peek!

Spring Thank You

I made this card for the Inspiration Challenge at SCS. The challenge was Pottery Barn Teen decor. My inspiration piece came from this Daisy Mirror. When I saw this mirror I knew right away that these Heidi Swapp Ghost Shapes, available at i {heart} papers would be perfect for this challenge. The Thank You sentiment is from Impression Obsession, also available at i {heart} papers. The set is called Expressions and has the essential sentiments that we all need. Thanks for taking a peek!

Thank you Hearts

I made this card for the Limited Supply Challenge over at SCS. The challenge was to use or recycle something on your card. I had started the layout for this card a few weeks ago right in the middle of preparing for my holiday parties so it wound up in my scrap pile. I am so glad I went through my scraps because this brand new sheet of GDD Studio paper from i {heart} papers was in there. I love this paper, as a matter of fact I orders several sheets of this paper and I think I will need to order more. The sweet flowering heart image from Impression Obsession is also availabe at i{heart} papers. The wrap around the sentiment is the flourish punch from EK Success. I just punched out the florish and wrapped it around the oval. Thanks for looking!

Snow Day

This card reminds me of this one snowy day when DH was at work and my daughter was about six years old. We spent hours outside making snowballs just waiting for daddy to come home. We were going to blast him with the hundreds of snowballs we made. He pulled in the driveway, we were ready, we thew about fifty snowballs at him and never hit him once. He threw one snowball at me and I looked like the poor snowman on the ground!

This card was a blast to make! The paper is from My Minds Eye, Bazzill, and PTI. The image is from Impression Obsession. There is a lot of Hero Arts Prisma Glitter on this card, it really is not showing up to well in the picture. In keeping with the title of my blog, I see that the buttons are a little crooked. If you look at the card a little sideways they look straight!

Poinsettia Swirl

I made this card for the Ways To Use It Challenge on SCS. The challenge was to use your white gel pen. When I saw this image on the Impression Obsession web site I knew this was going to be my image for my Christmas Cards this year. I will probably use a much simpler layout since I will be making about twenty-five cards. To make this card I stamped the image on PTI White cardstock and colored it with Copic Markers. The red paper is from The Paper Source. I ran one layer through the cuddlebug useing the swirl folder. I used liquid pearls mixed with glitter for the inside of the flowers and the two larger circles. The corners are EK Success Scallop Corner punch, and White Gel pen was used as an accent down the sides. Thanks for taking the time to take a peek at my card!
