Birthday Dash

Hi there! Has anyone else been busy or is it just me? In the past week, we've traveled to Washington and Montana and I'm just pooped! So that explains why no updates in a week:) But today, I have a fun card to share, that was supposed to be for the 10 minute Craft Dash, but ended up being a 45 minute craft marathon, lmbo!

Besides the 10 minute time constraint, the challenge was to use rose, light orange, and corn flower blue! The colors, I got! The time constraint? Not so much...I really did try, I just don't have it in me, lol!

I used three Reverse Confetti stamp sets for this card. the sentiment panel is from Celebrate Cake, the flags and "#" are from Arrows n' Elements, and the polka dots on the rose strip in the background is from Whole Lotta Dots!

Thanks for dropping in today, I have missed you *smooches!*

Deconstructed Sketch #114 - Good Times

Hi there! Anybody ready for a new Deconstructed Sketch? Feast your eyes on DS114!

Here's my sample with an old favorite Verve set, Great Friend...

I bought THREE of these Teresa Colin's paper pads because I love them *so* much! These patterns and colors are just...well...fabulous! I do plan on using all three paper pads, so I'm not really a hoarder, ha!

Along with the Great Friends stamp set, I used the leafy sprigs from Sunny Days and the corresponding Leafy Sprigs die set. 

I hope you can play along with us this week, visit Jen's Blog for details and a list of the other girls playing along this week. Thanks for stopping by today!

Just Because...

Over the weekend, I made a BUNCH of cards. Most for assignments, but a couple of them I made just because. These always end up being my favorite! I pulled out "You Make My Day" by MFT and had this after an hour or so:)

I used the big butterfly from Inspired by Butterflies and the flags are from the Jumbo Fishtail Banners.

Have a fabulous week!!

I played with the new Mojo Monday sketch and my Take Note and Borderline stamp sets...

I did some faux sewing with the border stamp from Borderline and the rest of the stamps are from Take Note! I tried to do some doodling on the oval sentiment piece, but it was a fail, lol! I should have left well enough alone, but I thought it would turn out better, oh well! I still like the card:)

Viva la Verve! Teachers Count

Hi there! I'm here today with a quick card for this week's Viva la Verve sketch challenge! 

In honor of school starting here this Monday (???) I thought I'd pull out my Teacher's Count and Apple die sets!

I used some DP from Echo Park, I love these colors! So bright and cheerful:) Just like a kid getting up for the 1st day of school, ha!;)  I stamped the number stamp randomly for the background piece, and then stamped the "thank you along the green cardstock.

I absolutely adore the apple dies! Along with the stamps, it's a SNAP to cut out and stamp these adorable apples!!! 

I hope you can play with us this week, come play HERE!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for stopping by today, have a fantastic weekend!!!
