In Honor Of Memorial Day

Happy Saturday All !!! It was a soggy day here.. Lots of rain and thunderstorms so I had plenty of time to craft. Since Monday is Memorial Day I made a card that I would like to dedicate to each and every service member past and present.

Recipe:
Plain white cardstock..distressed with Fired Brick Tim Holtz Ink
The rosette was made using the Ribbons and Rosettes cartridge along with the star in the center.
I added some bling to the stars around the edges to make them sparkly (sorry i know they are hard to see)
The sentiment came from K Andrew Design Set "Freedom Isnt Free"
I also used the same set to stamp the star.

Hello All!!! What a beautiful day... yes it did rain here a little bit (I think it did it to water my gardens for me (:  )
But now its warm and overcast but my baby chicks are loving it !!


For this project I used a sketch that I got over at The Paper Variety for their current challenge

A Late Happy Mothers Day!

Hello All!! Hope everyone had a beautiful Mothers Day!
I had hopes of posting a card for each day this weekend but I got caught up in planting my flowers since it was soo beautiful outside and WOW am I glad I did it this weekend because this week here we are looking at alllll rain Yuck! But I guess that makes for more craft room time! :)


I wanted to post a card that I made this weekend for my mom to give to my grandmother on Mothers Day.

This card I made with a damask print paper layered with plain black paper to make it pop 

The flowers I made with a paper doily that I had left over from Valentines Day and I just used my 1" 

Hole punch and cut a small strip of green paper for the stem. 

The Framed sentiment I cut using the cricut then added a white piece of cardstock on top of it with a little 

Tim Holtz ink around the edge of the paper. 

The Sentiment came from K Andrew Designs "Positive Thoughts"

Mother's Day

Well Happy Friday everyone! Since Sunday is Mother's Day I wanted to post a card that I made for my mom. I still have a few to make but this one I am super happy with the layout and colors so I wanted to post this one today and I will post one for tomorrow and one for Sunday also :)

I am entering this card into the Mothers Day Challenge at Celebrate the Occasion 
and

 Theme is Mothers Day 










 For today's card I wanted to make something super cheery and happy

For this card I used a plain purple background 

then with patterned papers i used pieces from my scrap box.

I just used simple pink ribbon for the bow and the 

butterfly cuts came from the Cricut Cartridge "April Showers" 

I dont remember where the scalloped circle came from because I had it cut out 

from a previous cut. But I did take my hole punch around the scallops to make it look a little different. 

Then I stamped the white circle with Happy Mother's Day and I used the sentiments from K Andrew Designs

I hope you enjoyed my card! <3 Until Tomorrow! :) 

WIggle Worm

Happy Monday All!! Hope everyone had a fun Scrapbooking/Card Making weekend!! :)
I know I did!!

So the card I made for today was a worm but I wanted him to wiggle so I used the tutorial I saw on
Getting Cricky's website a while ago about making your own wobbles. I really wanted to see how easy it was to make and I just love how it turned out :) Hope you enjoy

So for this card I used a pre-made card base from DCWV
Then I topped it with a piece of scrap paper I had in my stash
I added some flowers that are Prima Flowers the Botanical mix
then I added a few gold brads to the center of each of them
For the worm I used a cut from April Showers
Then for the sentiment I used my 1" circle punch to cut out 2 circles and stamped them
with K Andrew Design sets: Coffee & Tea TREATS tag alongs and Summertime Splash
