this little piggie... card 

I created this card for my little one and couldn't help but think, 

"this little piggie...went to the BEACH!"

And here's the sketch this week

I was inspired to turn the circles into sentiment bubbles

and the colors from the challenge.

Scrabble pun

Hello!  I am back and participating in another challenge 

this week.  I saw this cool challenge on my friend LeAnne's Blog and 

was intrigued to participate (I need more masculine cards!)

Here is the cool challenge on the Tic-Tac-Toe blog

I chose the right row down:  punny sentiment, masculine and a punched shape (tab).

I decided to create a "Scrabble-themed" Father's Day card for my FIL because he

loves to play Scrabble every day.  I am really happy to have found this challenge

 this week because I wasn't sure where to start

on several masculine cards and this makes it really fun, thank you!

Sentiment reads:  

Suspect there will never be an edible version of Scrabble, 

but if there is, I'll eat my words.

The silverware set was cut from glittered silver paper so they add a bit of

sparkle to my masculine card without embellishments.

Thank you for a fun challenge and for visiting!

lots of love

Hello and happy Sunday!  I created a card inspired by the newest challenge over @ Case this Sketch.  I was happy to see their sketch this week because I had this digital image from Angie Blom all colored and ready to use on a card, but hadn't done so yet, yay!

night night

We are back with another challenge over @ Inspired By 
card challenges this week. This awesome photo prompt 
has a little bit of everything!  Amazing colors, patterns, 

quilting, mirror, everything fun to get the creative mojo going.

This week, I was inspired by:

*the quilt

*the fun patterns

Hello Card

Since staying home, I have decided that I HAVE
 to use more patterned papers in my cards again. 
 I have so many that I can 't bear to throw

out so I need to incorporate more onto my cards again. 
 This challenge has given me the perfect opportunity to do just that!  I have 4 different patterned papers on this card and I love the result.  
It's soft, and feminine/girly, and will be perfect to 
attach to a gift or some flowers soon!

I even used some buttons, tulle, and crepe paper to create my rosette, 

bonus use of lots of goodies from my stash.  I love crepe rosettes, and

even though they can't be mailed, they are so fun on gifts or on a 

card that you tie to a gift, flowers or hand-deliver.

My next card is inspired by the sketch this week.  

Hello Kitty Card

I created my block from the sketch a little larger 

because I wanted a square card to really accent 

the big hello.  I used MORE patterned papers (winning),

 fussy cutting, distressing, die-cutting, 

and machine stitching.

rainbow of color

We are back with another challenge over @ Inspired By card challenges this week.  This awesome photo prompt is filled with color, rainbows of color and is sure to make a recipient smile!

This week, I was inspired by:

*the colors

*the sketch

Hello Card

On my first card,  I was inspired by the sketch to begin with strips of colored cardstock.  I decided to play with all the wonderful rainbow of colors on the arches.  I really loved the contrast between the white and bold colors.  To begin my card, I cut strips of the papers I wanted to use and glued them to a piece of white card stock.  I cut the heart background using my Silhouette Cameo.  I layered the heart background over the strips of color and stitched around the frame.  The "hello" sentiment was also cut with my Cameo and I offset the sentiment two times to layer it.  

On my second card, I created a thank you card for a healthcare worker, so grateful for all these heroes every single day.  To begin my card, I printed this free image from Waffle Flower Stamps!!  You have to check out what this amazing company created for all of us to use to thank heroes.  They used their talents to spread love, thank you so much!  I have used the printable, as is, to write cards.  However, on this card, I wanted to create a handmade one using the black and white image included and it was so easy and fun, thank you again Waffle Flower.

Thank You Card

And here's the Inspired By sketch that inspired my card this week.
