Miss You

Hello!

I can't believe that it is already Saturday!

Where has the week gone?

Well with work and lots of time at the beach, the week does get away from you!

We are busy trying to squeeze out every drop summer.

School starts in less than two weeks.

I have one kid that is excited and one not..go figure!

Today's card is a miss you card.

I wanted to use up some scraps, so I opted for all green with a punch of pink.

I love how it turned out.

Have a great weekend!

Today's card is a miss you card with a simple design.  I decided to use vellum for my sentiment for a change of pace.  I like the dots and the bitty boxes just to add some contrast. Enjoy!

I continue to love to use my Love Birds set.  So here is another card that not only uses that set but incorporates alot of different elements.  I always enjoy using twine but with all of the added layers, I think it really helps to set the card off.  Enjoy!

Make it Mondays

It is time for Make it Mondays at Papertrey Ink.

This week the challenge is to use an impression plate on only part of your paper.  While I have a couple of them and I love the texture it gives a card, I don't always remember that I have them!  This was a great way to get me to use what I have!

In my card I used the Background Basics: Diamond Impression Plate on aqua mist card stock.  It is really hard to tell in the picture.  I then layer that over distressed dots and Kraft card stock.  I added a rustic cream border along with scarlet jewel ribbon and button on the part that I did not use my IP on.  My sentiment is from Flower Fusion #1 and so is the flower.  I love that the card has all this texture and weight to it.  Enjoy!

My crafting fun continues with the use of Love Birds, from Papertrey Ink.  This set is so easy and versatile!  I simply used pop dots to raise the bird cage off the card base and added some bakers twine and printed card stock to pull it all together.  It may be an unusual color combination but it looks great!  Enjoy!

Miss you and Hair Clips

Today is the kiddos last day of summer vacation.  The rude awakening of the school bell will ring tomorrow.  We are all ready but so not ready for the routine of it all!  We have had a great summer but we now move forward.  Abby was a little sad today because it was the last day of summer and Dad is out of town and will not be here in the morning, so she wanted to make him a card.  How sweet it really is.  She picked out the paper and the stamps.  I helped guide her into the design but she did most of it!  How fun is that!  Her Dad will be so excited to get a special handwritten note from his special girl! 

Here is her card......

When we were done with the card, she still wanted to create, so we decided to make some hairclips using some of Papertrey Ink's  felt and buttons.  I think they turned out pretty cute!  I love her color combinations and her choice of buttons!  Way to go Abby.  It was fun crafting with you today.  Good luck on the first day of 3rd grade tomorrow!  I hope you and your brother have a terrific day!  Enjoy!
