Family Reunion

It's Thursday, and then a four day weekend for me!!  Yay!!

I have another layout to share today.

What a fun kit this was to work with!  It's called "Made with Love" from Jaelop Designs.  I got it on her website as a freebie.

The pictures are from our family reunion we had last month.

Have a nice day!

Sweet Stamps Stiches Challenge

Welcome for another Tuesday with Sweet Stamps!!

Our challenge this week is:

Stitches

Real or Faux

 

Here's my creation:

I have never added stitching to any of my projects before, so this was a first time for me, so don't laugh!  I actually think it didn't turn out too bad!  I've been wanting to add stitching to my projects, but just haven't found a simple machine that I like.  But I did buy the We R Memories Stitcher with the different heads, which is what I used for this card.  (I bought it last year and hadn't used it until now!!)  So it was time to try it out!

Anyway, here is a straight on look at the card:

For this easel card I used Firewheel Flower Duo which was one of the new releases in June.  I used the two to create the main background using the masking technique. 


I just love this sentiment, as you can use it for so many different occasions, it's called Special Day.  I think I'm going to use this for a bridal shower card, as my cousin and his fiance are getting married in Hawaii, so the bright colors will be perfect.  A few month's till be leave for the wedding, I can't wait for a vacation!!!

I also used Bold Butterfly Medium next to the sentiment. 

I then added some Creative Inspirations Fairy Dust to give the butterfly a little shimmer. And lastly I added some Teal Pearls.

Make sure to join us on the Sweet Stamps blog, we'd love to see what you create.  You have a chance at winning $20 to purchase some "sweet" things of your own!!  There's plenty of fun things to choose from!

Make sure to check out all the other lovely creations from the other DT members and leave some love!!

Have a great day!

CI Paints Inspired By: Ribbon

This week's challenge at Creative Inspiration Paints is:

Inspired By: Ribbon

I had so much fun creating this elegant "Thank You" card.  The sentiment is from Creative Vision's set "Thank You".

I used Creative Inspirations Paint "Onyx"  to add shimmer on the die cut!  I haven't used the color yet, so I thought this would be a good time to!  As always...I LOVE the SHIMMER!!

It is kind of hard to tell, but I used two different types of black ribbon and added pink pearls along the middle.

This card would work perfect for thanking anyone, but I was also thinking these would be great thank you cards to make for a bride to send to those who came to her wedding shower.  I can't wait till my sister gets engaged some day, so I can use all these ideas stirring in my head!!  But she is only 15, so I have awhile to go!

Have a great day!

PF Snip & Snails

Back to designing for Prairie Fairy Fun Friday's every other week again, it was nice to have a little break for the summer, but have to admit it was so fun to sit down with Roberta's images and make a card again!

She has just recently released a bunch of new/adorable images! 

Our challenge is:

Snip and Snails & Puppy Dog Tails

I've used Fisherman Lewis for this card:

Sweet Stamps Lace Challenge

Once again it is Tuesday, so you know what that means, another Sweet Stamps Challenge!!

Our challenge this week is:

Lace

You can use lace and/or a lacey border.  I decided to use both!

Here's my creation:

 I love how this turned out!  I used Thank You Elegant as the main sentiment on the front of the card.  I also used a Cheery Lynn Die called Fanciful Flourish, but I cut the leaves off as I just wanted a swirl.

Here's a close up of the sentiment, flowers, lace, etc...

Close-up of the white background...

I used two stamps to create the background of this card, they include Entwined Roses and Lovely Roses.  I stamped them with VersaMark and then embossed with Clear Embossing Powder. 

I finished it off, by adding some Soft Pink Rhinestones.

Make sure to join us on the Sweet Stamps blog, we'd love to see what you create.  You have a chance at winning $20 to purchase some "sweet" things of your own!!  There's plenty of fun things to choose from!

CI Paints Inspired By: Back to School

This week's challenge at Creative Inspiration Paints is:

Inspired By: Back to School

I can't believe next year at this time my little guy will be starting Preschool!!  Not ready, I love having him home when I am off in winter.  We just got papers yesterday, that we have to bring him in for 4K screening in a few weeks. 

Anyway here is my creation for this challenge:

I created this card for a friend, who is a teacher.  She is back to teaching this week and this have been so crazy so I haven't gotten to talk to her in awhile, so I thought a card would be a good thing to put a smile on her face and let her know I was thinking about her.

I was so excited to find the ribbon for this card, it works perfectly!

I used a Stamping Boutique image called "Back to School Desk".

Have a great day!
