Spread Your Wings

Hello friends.  I had the best time making this card today.  I am in love with these colors together.  The wonderful Melissa Phillips from Lilybean's Paperie has this beautiful color challenge going on.  You have got to go take a look.

The photo is from A Creative Mint....the blog of a woman who is a fabulous photographer.

After seeing this ribbon on Melissa's blog last week I just had to order some for myself.  It came from Marilyn Healy's Etsy Shop.  Fabulos vintage goodies going on over there.

Playdate Cafe Challenge #18

Yeah, it is friday!  It has been a long week.  I had alot of fun making this card for Playdate Cafe.  Again,  I used some old and new  K & Company paper .  I don't have black anything...or so I thought.  I found a pad of old K & CO Mansion.  Perfect!  It has that vintage look to it.  The image is also from that same pack.  I was very happy, this came together rather quickly for me.

I used my Glimmer Mist in Wheatfields to age the paper, doily and ribbon.  It is a perfect color for aging.  One of my new favorite products.   That stamp in the upper right hand corner is from Making Memories.

Supplies:

Cardstock: PTI/ Rustic Cream

Patterned Paper: K& Company

Ribbon: Twill Tape/ Offrey

Glitter: Martha Stewart/ Onyx

Button: Repurposed

2 Sketches 4 You #46

Happy Wednesday!  We are halfway throught the week.  My card today is for 2 Sketches 4 You.  Laura's sketch this week.  I will say this took a bit to put together.  You ever have a time when you know what you want, but it just isn't coming together?  I was finally happy with the end result.  I used  my Cosmo Cricut paper that I had been hoarding.  It was just too cute to use.  I promised myself I would start using my older purcheses.  We are moving in 2 and a half months and I will probably go through and purge of alot.  I can't decide if I should just give it away or sell it.  What do you think?  I don't know if anyone would want older products for a giveaway.  Tell me what you think.

I also used my new stamp set from PTI called Butterfly Dreams.  So many beautiful butterflies.  I can't wait to get my dies that goes with it.  They were all gone in less than a half hour!  I had to hand cut these.  I will say I did pretty darn good.  I have had loads of problems cutting too close previously.

Supplies: Cardstock: PTI/ Sweet Blush
Patterned Paper: Cosmo Cricket/ Girl Friday
Ribbon: American Crafts
Ink: PTI/ Raspberry Fizz, Spring Moss, Aqua Mist
Rhinestones: Hero Arts
Spellbinders Nestabilities: Long Classic Rectangles

Thanks so much for taking time to stop by

CPS 155

Happy Sunday everyone.  We didn't get all that snow we were worrying about.  It went to the south of us.  Whew!  I made this card for the CPS challenge.  I really like the sketch more after I got the card finished.  I found my OLD Anna Griffin paper. Beautiful floral patterns.  Vintage is back in style right now in the papercrafting world.  I got an Ephemera Pack from K&Company at Michael's the other day.  I found this cute little quilt raffle ticket and piece of cardboard inside.  All kinds of goodies in this bag.  I sprayed the card and ribbon in my new Wheatfields Glimmer Mist.  I love the drips of mist on the raffle ticket

JUGS

Well, the week is over and It is time to play.  I just love the colors at JUGS this week.  Peach use to be my favorite color in my early teen years.  It was nice to combine my old fave and new fave colors.   I am always inspired by Mish at Mish Mash.  I just adore her style.  Feminine and good design.  To me, this card is a reflection on what I have taken from her style and made into my own. 

I was very happy with the way it turned out.  This Basic Grey butterfly was adorable.  I stamped it in PTI's Raspberyy Fizz.  Then stamped it again in the glue pad and sprinkled Martha Stewart glitter in Crystal fine on the butterfly.  What do you think?

Supplies:

Cardstock: PTI/ Vintage Cream, Berry Sorbet & Bazzil/ Brown

Patterned paper: PTI/ Pretty Pastels

Stamps: butterfly/Basic Grey& Sentiment/PTI

Ink: PTI/ DarkChocolate, Raspberry Fizz

Button: Basic Grey

2 Sketches 4 You

Hello again.  Unfortunately I had to make a Sympathy card for my mom last night.  My Aunt...her sister passed away on Valentine's Day.  I knew I wanted it to be soft and I think the butterflies were fitting for this type of card. 
My Aunt Rosie was a crafty gal herself.  She liked to crochet and bead as well as a few others.  Life is too short!  Remember to take that extra minute or two each day to tell your family and loved ones how much they mean to you.  You just never know when the last time will be. 

I thought the colors at Curtain Call were just ther right ones.  Are they beautiful or what?

Supplies:

Cardstock: PTI/ Vintage Cream & mustard color is unknown

Patterned Paper: Cosmo Cricket

Felt: local craft store

Die: Spellbinders( felt flower)

Butterfly: Cricut / Indie Art (big) and MS punch (small)

Stamp: PTI/ Bloooming Button Bits

Button: Basic Grey

Floss: DMC

Thanks so much for stopping by and taking the time to leave me a comment.  I appreciate all the kind words you leave me.

Hello everyone.  How is your week so far?  It is still cold here, but we have sunshine.

I saw the CPS sketch and then saw the vintage goodies that they are giving away to the winner and I was excited.  I created a card using some of my own vintage looking goodies....including some old book paper sprayed with Tattered Rose and Pearl Glimmer Mist.  I had won Dana's blog givaway and in it was this book paper which she had already sprayed with some ink.  I just sprayed a little more one. I also sprayed the bingo card with the Tattered Rose.
