Sweet Purple Flower Frame

A dear friend is expecting a little girl. I heard that she is thinking about doing purple and green in the baby's room. I LOVE purple and green so I wanted to make her something special. I used Cottage Wall DSP, black cardstock, pale plum cardstock, orchid opulence ink, rich razzelberry ink, the heart to heart punch, the XL fancy flower punch, and the finial press embossing folder. I wanted to find pearls, but I couldn't find it, but I didn't so I grabbed some adhesive backed rhinestones. I love how this turned out. :D

Sketch Challenge

Stamping 411 always has such excellent sketches I love it when I get to play along. This one is Saturday Sketch Challenge 144. I enjoy adding texture to my cards with the embossing folders. I think texture makes the card POP. I also love these colors together. Of course the DP kind-of made the choices obvious, but I still like them. Let me know what you think. :D I looooove comments.

3 challenges!

I am so excited. I have managed to combine three challenges in my card. First a sketch challenge from Stamping 411, a color challenge from The Color Dare and a concept challenge from Stamp with Heather. Let me know what you think of my card.

Cherries!

I love this stamp. Of course I have to ink it with my markers, but that still doesn't make much difference to me. I like the cuteness. I did this card for the last stamping session I had at my house. It was one of the two or three cards we made in addition to some projects. (My kids loved the projects more b/c they were FUN and some included CANDY.)

Congrats Hannah!

My youngest sister is graduating from High School. She finished her courses last week. So I have two cards here to give to her. One will be from me, the DH and the kiddos. The other one will be from Maw-Maw. I love the way both of them went together. Plus I love the Sweet Pea felt flowers. I hope, hope, hope Stamping Up will keep them around for their IBC for 2010-2011. :D

Butterfly Post-It holder

This post-it note holder was intended to go to someone for their birthday, but I forgot it as home. SO, it is still sitting around the house so I thought I would make good use of it by using it for a blog post. :D I do want to point out the rows of poked holes above and below the butterfly as well as the texture on the butterfly itself. I love to texture things with my Big Shot. It seems to me that it just adds so much visual appeal to have a bit of texture to a piece of solid colored cardstock.

Birthday Card

I discovered this little lion on chic 'n' scratch and I just loved him. The candy holder it is on was also a creation of hers. She posts videos of her projects so they are SO easy to follow along with. I made this little treat for my cousin Cassie's son, Kayden. I think he will really enjoy it.
