Anything Goes Birthday Celebration!!

I have so much patterned paper, so my goal is to start using it more. I love to go through several pads and see what papers I can put together. I think that comes from my love of decorating!

&

Make It Monday #125: Defined Watercolors

I'm joining the 10 minute craft dash for the first time...wow, is that a challenge!lol

Ten minutes goes by so fast! You know that after I took this picture, I had to fix that bow!

I have used Erin's watercolor technique for the PTI Make it Monday challenge.

Happy Birthday!

Summer brings a lot of birthdays my way (including mine), so there are lots of cards I need to make!

For this card I decided  to join in on a couple of challenges over at Moxie Fab World . The first challenge is for the  Tuesday Trigger: Scene in Tangerine Revisited, hence the colors of my card. The second is for 

Birthday Creations Week: The Birthday Card Challenge

This was the first time that I used my Papertrey Ink Pedal Pushers set and dies, how fun! 

Thanks for stopping by!!

Happy 4th of July

When I saw this card that Betsy Veldman made during Papertrey Ink's May release, I just new that I had to give it a try! I had the perfect occasion, a July 4th birthday. It was a simple technique that packs a lot of punch. I added a little bit of Star Dust (my favorite) Stickles to the center and the tips of the fireworks to give them a little bit of sparkle!

Make It Monday #108: Inked Backgrounds

 

 

 

 

Wow! Two MIM's in a row, I'm on a roll!

This week Heather challenged us to make a inked background. I love making these! It amazes me how you can turn a blank white piece of cardstock into something so beautiful, with not a whole lot of effort.

 

 

This is the first time that I have used my Hands Of Time set, I think this set is gorgeous! It really gives a beautiful vintage feel to your project.

 

Thanks for stopping by today, and Happy Spring!!

 



Springtime Doodles

Make It Monday #107

When Nichole used the Springtime Doodles set, I thought to myself, I think I have that set.
Sure enough, I did! I am so glad she brought this set to my attention again, it is so adorable!
I used copics to color the background, as well as the stamped images. On the larger flower, the stripes on the bee, and the little trail, there is a bit of Stickles to add a little sparkle. You can't tell in the photo, but the bees wings are cut from vellum.

Thanks for stopping by today!!
