Inspiration Destination #28 -ALWAYS ANYTHING GOES / Wishing you the Happiest Birthday ever

Wednesday April 8, 2015

 

Welcome to another Wednesday and Inspiration Destination #28 challenge which is ALWAYS ANYTHING GOES

 

 

Our sponsor this week is Eureka Stamps

 

I am using the image WRAPPED UP KITTY AND PUPPY   I have a lot of wood mounted rubber stamps from Eureka and now I have a digi from Eureka.  Aren't these little trouble makers having some fun?  This card would be great for Christmas so I will have to keep this in mind when I start on Christmas cards.  I wanted a bright colored ribbon and then after I was done coloring it I thought hum I should of checked my stash of ribbons to see if I had that color.. well I won some ribbons from Buckwell craft supplies on a card I entered on her blog and low and behold I have that color in the pack I received from her.. I was so glad because I really needed something in the left hand corner. I tried putting the sentiment over there but it just did not look right so this ribbon and flowers went there and I think it looks good. The flowers are my su punch and leaves ms punch.

I hope you make it over to Inspiration destination for our ATG challenge and play along.

Inspiration Destinaton #28 - ALWAYS ANYTHING GOES / Near the sea

Wednesday April 8, 2015

 

Inspiration Destination #28 - ALWAYS ANYTHING GOES

 

Our sponsor for this card is Patties Creations Digital Images

 

I love living in the Pacific Northwest and being able to go out to the sound. I love water and we live by a river it runs along our property so I do get my water fix when I walk to the back pasture and look down to the river or taking the four legged kid down the dead end road that is along the river, it's beautiful. I had a dear friend who I had known for 35 years who grew up in Missouri and would come out to visit and she loved the pacific ocean and collecting shells. She moved to Washington state and then met her husband. They moved to Montana but they would come out yearly to stay on the ocean.  She passed away 6 years ago and this sentiment was one of the few stamps her husband knew she would of wanted me to have. I have to tell you I did shed a tear making this card. I miss her so much. She was also a card /sb maker.
 I love the ocean any time of the year. In a couple weeks we have a ladies church retreat and it's on the ocean and our hotel faces the water. Love the sound of waves and walking the beach along with the spiritual growth. It's a great time.  I thought of this as I made my card.
 
The image for this card is Seashell border 2  I loved coloring the shells and I wanted the sentiment to be on its side. I think it gives a great touch to the card. I have a sand dollar button that I added on top of the twine.   I hope you find time to head over to Inspiration Destination to play along this week. It's always ATG.

Week 6 Billie and Monika background and or no designer paper- SCORING AND SENTIMENT

Monday April 6, 2015

 

Week 6 and it's my choice so I chose SCORING AND SENTIMENT

 

Well March was great with all of our backgrounds and or no designer papers we challenged each other to do. I hope you enjoyed it and got some ideas.  Now we are starting with April.

I challenged Monika to score the background.. as little or as much as you want and then add a sentiment. it can either be stamped right on the card or layered like I did. Now she does not have a die cutting machine so I just use my paper trimmer to cut the shape for the sentiment. I decided to just score half of the card stock and various widths. I added the sentient which is from Simon says and added dark green behind it. Added some sequins and called it good. I think it would make for a great masculine card..

 

Hope you head over to Monika's  blog Creative with Monika and see her card.
