Catch the bug / Bugaboo new release Tuesday we have Kidz mom girl

 I am loving this little cute girl. I do remember playing dress up when I was a child and that was when moms did wear dresses, fancy hats and high heel shoes. What fun times.

Paper Makeover #139 - Anything Goes / Love works in ways

Monday May 5, 2014

 

Welcome to another challenge at Paper Makeover #139 ATG challenge..  I love the ATG challenges so I decided since I am new to the team to use a sentiment that is called Love Sentiment. I let a lot of the paper do the work for the embellishment look an just the lovely sentiment to pull it all together. I hope your find time to play along and with it being ATG's that makes entering your card ever easier.

 

I thought the little strip of orange behind the sentiment kind of went with the strip in the paper design and then I added a heart and stars to kind of tie it all together. I love this sentiment from Paper Makeover.

Unscripted Sketches #255 / Happy mothers day gift card

Saturday May 3, 2014

 

Unscripted Sketches #255  challenge, use the sketch below and make your card, scrapbook page or project and link to the Unscripted Sketch blog.

 

 
This is the card I made for the challenge. I decided to make a gift card - card. I had this envelope from ???? and I kept moving it around my desk and thought wow this would work out perfect for a gift card holder. I also found this negative part of a die and liked the look. I used clear embossing powder and embossed the leaves to give the background on the pink a designer look. I am loving how quick and easy this card was to make and things I found on my desk. Same with the twine it was just picking out from the pile of paper scraps I had on my desk. I don't have this size on a spool so not even sure where it came from either.. Any how this card probably took me under 10 min but looks like I took a lot of time to make.
