Celebrate Summer Book Mark

I made this bookmark for Kona Kid Krafter's " Summer" Challenge 3.  Pink Cat Studio is our sponsor, they have some really cute stamps!  As a DT we get to pick what images we want to use for our projects.  I picked the cute Lady Bug Flower Tower.  I decided to make it into a bookmark, the image is just perfect for it.  My mother was here when I was making it.  She thought it was soo cute and hinted that she could really use a bookmark.  Yeah she took it home with her before the ink dried...LOL.  This little creation took less than 30 minutes to create.  That included using the cricut to cut out the tag!  It is pretty basic.  It was a lot of fun to make and turned out really cute.  I am posting both mine and Maddies before the challenge...I have no choice..I hate being rushed, I cut it a liitle close last time.  Better to be early than late..hehehe.  I entered this little quickie into the following challenges:

• Kona Kid Krafter's (link only) Summer
• Crafty Calendar Bugs & Beasties
• Kaboodle Doodles Celebrate Summer
• Quirky Crafts Ribbons
• Stampin Royalty Seeing Doubles
• The Crazy Make it in an hour

Here's what I used to create my little, oops my mother's little bookmark:

• Ladybug Flower Tower Digi/Pink Cat Studio
• Cricut, Gypsy, Bags Tags cart to cut out tag
• Crop-a-dile and eyelet
• Ribbon
• White cardstock, DP scrap
• Ink/sponge

For the Bride and Groom/Happy Wedding Day Card

It amazes me how a color I normally do not like can look so good on a completed card!  Blue is not one of my fav's.  I made this card for a good friend who is getting married next week.  Her new hubby to be doesn't seem the type to like a girly girl card so  that's why I used  the color blue as the main color.  I know, I just couldn't help blinging it up just a bit...lol  The matching envelope  may not be to his taste but the card should pass.  I am hoping they will both like it.  My DH still say's I can't ask for it back if they don't...ROFL  The cuter my cards turn out the harder it is to actually give them away...and OMGosh I gotta let them go...  Who would have thought that I would come to appreciate the color blue.  Anyway's I entered this card into the following challenges:

• Aly's Sunday Challenge Flower Power
• Anya Ink Add Some Bling
