It's Your Birthday.

Hi Everyone!

I hope you are all having a great day so far. I wanted to share the birthday card I made for my daugher's birthday in August. I used the stripes from Clearly Besotted Basic Stripes set in Weathered Wood, Wild Honey and Worn Lipstick. I then added some secondary stamps from a set from Simon Says Stamp in black. The sentiment on the top is from Altenew Birthday Greetings. I added some iridescent sequins around the sentiment and then rounded the top corner before adhering the panel to a top folding Neenah Solar White card base.

That is all for me. Enjoy the rest of your Wednesday and I will see you again soon!

Congratulations

Hi Everyone!

I hope you're having a nice Labor Day weekend. I am just popping by for a quick bit to share a shaker card I made during my blog hiatus. I used the WRMK fuse tool to make the shaker pocket. For the background, I used my Gansai Tambi watercolors to create a simple watercolor splash background and then just flicked a few drops of water on it. I die cut the letters for the "Congratulations" and just adhered them as shown. I white heat embossed the sentiment from Hero Arts along the bottom.

That is all for me. Thanks for visiting with me today and have a great day!

Lucky Stars

Hi Everyone!

Well, as you can see I took more than a couple weeks off during August! I'm hoping to be back to blogging a bit more in September. I have few projects already completed that I can share over the next week and then we'll see what happens from there.

Today I'm sharing a thank you card I made using stamps from Hero Arts and I made the stripes at the bottom using stamps from Clearly Besotted. I chose Seedless Preserves, Peacock Feathers and Festive Berries Distress inks for my color palette. I added some wink of Stella glitter pen to the larger stars and then added some silver star stickers as well.

Have a great weekend and I'll see you all again next week!

August Break

Hi Everyone!

I'm here to just let you know that I'm taking a bit of blog break for these first couple of weeks in August. I love to make cards and share them with you and I've been enjoying sharing my parenting and family posts as well. However, I always know that when I have to talk myself into getting into my craft room and get something done so I can get it blogged, that it is most definitely time to take a break. I feel myself in a bit of a crafting rut and I just need to clean my desk and set it all aside for a little bit. I also have some other non-crafting projects that I want to work on.
School will also be starting soon and I need to spend some time preparing for that as well to make sure the kiddos are all ready for the 1st day.

Anyhow, I will still be coming around to visit people as I can. I love seeing what my fellow paper crafters are creating!  Have a great start to your August and I will be back before you know it!
