Happy 40th Birthday!

Some of my friends are starting to hit the big 40!

Over the weekend another friend hosted a surprise party for her!

For her, this year has been full of surprises, so why not add one more!

The surprise party only added to her more recent surprise of being pregnant with twins!

Now she already has 5 kiddos and her baby just started kindergarten!

Now there must be something in the water over there, since 5 of our friends are pregnant!

Here is my card for her based upon one of the recently posted sketches by Papertrey Ink.

This card was so fun to make and I was so warmly received!

Enjoy!

Papertrey Ink Challenge- Day 9

 Happy Monday!

Wow what a great weekend, too bad it ended so fast!

Today Papertrey Ink continues its anniversary festivities.

Today' challenge was to create any type of card using butterflies.

I decided to create a simple one layer card using butterflies I stamped using

the Martha Stewart butterfly punch.

I started with a simply chartreuse cad stock base and

punched butterflies from a variety of scraps.

Some simple stamping from Little Bitty Bird and

Wildflower Garden in dark chocolate completed the card.

Enjoy!

PTI Anniversary Day 6

 Happy Friday!

Papertrey Ink is continuing it's anniversary party fun!

Today we were asked to pick a sketch and create a card.

I picked sketch #2.

As I was reading Nichole's blog today I fell in love with her Celebrating your Birthday card.

So I used her card as inspiration and cased her idea.

Her is my version of her card and sketch # 2.

I continue to love Canyon Clay, so I used both the ink and the Cardstock.

I stamped Beautiful Booms II on Dear Jane paper and added this to a Kraft cardstock base.

The finishing touches include jute twine, a canyon clay button and tea dye ink on the edges.

Have a great weekend.

Enjoy!

PTI Anniversary Day 5

Today's contest is all about Pinterest.

I love Pinterest....I have found so many great ideas.

If you are looking for crafts, recipes or ideas for anything, Pinterest is the place to go!

This is what I used for my inspiration:

I love the colors of this kitchen, the design is pretty cool too!

I have a friend who has a green island in her kitchen, it is amazing in person!

Here is my card:

I used simply chartreuse and dark chocolate ink to create my card.

Along with Through the Trees and  Little Argyle.

The sentiment is from one of the Tag It's #5.

The card stock is simply chartreuse and rustic cream.

I added jute twine and a chartreuse button.

Enjoy!

U Rock!

 Happy Wednesday!

I decided to stay with my monochromatic look and use my new Kraft ink.

Yes, I added a little bit of the new paper from PTI but mostly the card is Kraft!

I am so loving how this card turned out!

I hope you do too!

Heartfelt Thanks!

Happy Monday!

The weekend sure went by fast!

We got so much done at home!

Today's card goes to a dear friends that visited last week.

With how busy both of our lives are...it was so great to catch up.

When I am stumped, I always head to my Life stamps. 

This time I used Larger than Life.

I used canyon clay ink, twice stamped on canyon clay card stock.

I added a button with some twine.

I love how this card turned out...simple yet perfect!

I know our friends will love it!

Have a great day!

Enjoy!

Heartful Thanks

I have continued to use up my scraps this week.

Today's card continues to use my new stamp set Script Sentiments.

I added some flowers from Flower Fusion and some rhinestones that I colored with copics.

Clean and simple!

Enjoy!
