Hello everyone! Well it has been some time since I blogged! I've been working on lots of crafty goodness, but much of it is not ready to share with you yet! I've been *gasp* actually scrapbooking instead of making cards a lot this week! =) Pics will come soon when the scrapbook is ready! =D
Next, I was so so SO excited to get chosen for the Froggin Fantastic Four over at
Lily Pad Cards! Have you checked out their website yet? They have lots of fun challenges and tips and tricks for card makers everywhere! It's such a fun, new site and I'm honored that they chose me!
Ok, and now onto today's cards:
I'm really happy with the way this card turned out! I started with this incredible paper from Paper Source and then used PTI's Tag-it's #1 and #2 to make the great Mother's Day tag! The pearly rose was handmade with my new molds from
mold muse on Etsy! If you haven't checked them out yet either, definitely do that too! =) Here's a close-up of the card:
Also, I'd like to give credit to
Britta Swiderski for the great twine-wrapping idea! She used it a few weeks ago for
her card on her Video Tutorial Monday, and I felt that this card needed a little something more! Then I remembered her twine idea, and voila! =) This card was inspired by:
1. CR84FN #24:
2. Etsy Inspired #135 -
The Creating is Fun Shop. I was inspired by this picture with the beautiful pearly buttons:
UPDATE: I'm also entering this card for consideration over at the
Practical Scrappers blog for their Challenge me Tuesday challenges! This week's challenge is twine so it was perfect! I'd never been to their blog before, but it's fabulous!
Check it out here!
And now, onto the next card:
Wee Memories is having an "All Things Adorable" challenge this week! In my world, there is little that is more adorable than my little dog, Lucky! I recently saw this stamp set on clearance at my local Michael's and I couldn't resist all of the cute cute pupples! I especially liked this one because he reminds me of our little guy when he's on alert:
Hehe! I also love this Max and Whiskers paper pack from Basic Grey and thought that this all went just perfect together! =) Again, this card was inspired by the
current Wee Memories Challenge:
Ok everyone! Well, I hope that you are all having a wonderful week, and that those of you celebrating Easter have a lovely Easter weekend! =) Enjoy!
Super cards - love the dog one!! And your CR84FN card is very pretty - love the paper and the twine around the card. Thanks for playing along with CR84FN this week!
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way about my dog! I was also contemplating a dog card as well, Great mind's think alike I suppose. :) Both great cards, I love the mother's day one with the pearly flower.
ReplyDeleteThat pearly rose you made is GORGEOUS!!! And I LOVE the sentiment in the second card---super cute! Adorable photo of your dog too---he looks like he's a lot of fun to have around!!!
