Welcome Baby

It's the last day of school and it's raining all day!

My husband has a friend at work who is having a baby girl tomorrow, so I made this card to go with the gift.



I used Soft Stone cardstock and all the purple PTI inks: Winter Wisteria, Lavendar Moon, Plum Pudding and Royal Velvet. The flowers are from Happy Hydrangea. I cut a Tag Sale die for the sentiment (from Say it Loud, WMS) and cut off the top portion before adhering. The little bow is also from Happy Hydrangea.

I definitely have hydrangeas on the brain....we have a row of gorgeous hydrangeas in front of our house and they are so lovely right now. They're blooming in blues, purples and pinks and we are enjoying them!

Thanks for looking!

Sweet birthday wishes

Hope you had a great weekend! I received my first order from Wplus9 on Friday afternoon, and made this card today. I used some of the tiny leaves from Folk Art Florals, the frame, sentiment and berries are from Fresh Picked. I think I have plenty of berry stamps now :)



Thanks for taking a look!

WMS Sketch 100

Hope you had a great weekend! Once again, I haven't blogged in a while...it's just hard to find the time! I knew I had to play along with the 100th WMS Sketch challenge, and that I had to use French Country.

I heat embossed the background panel onto Winter Wisteria cardstock using clear detail powder. All the stamped images are from French Country, and I used Royal Velvet, New Leaf and Winteria Wisteria inks.



Still not sure I like the little resin flowers just there, but I'm happy enough :)

Thanks for taking a look!

Blog Hop time again! Here's my card based on the inspiration photo:



I used the checkered background strip from On the Farm, hydrangea from Happy Hydrangea, "Thanks" from On the Farm, and "for everything you do" from WMS' Say It Loud.

Mother's Day card evening

I'm back to share some cards that my friends and I made for a Mother's Day card making evening a week or so ago.



The first one uses Smokey Shadow patterned paper, Fillable Frame die, frame and sentiment, and the flower and leaves from Rosie Posie.



This card is all Strawberry Patch.



Lastly, (you've seen this design on my blog before) is a card using Harvest Berries, the butterfy from Round and Round, and the sentiment from Blooming Button Bits.

Sorry the photo size is so big--these photos were taken on my iphone, and they always upload either super big or small.

Thanks for taking a look!

Card Caravan: Flowers

Thank you for your kindness

I'm back with a card for this week's Make It Monday! And here's the beautiful color scheme and inspiration photo I chose to work with.

I've been working on this card all week!! My daughter was home sick this week, so I've not had much time myself.



I'm not sure why my Hibiscus Burst ink stamped so splotchy, but I was feeling too lazy to stamp again, LOL! The rectangle frame is from Label Basics, the sentiment from Iconic Images, and all the flowers from Rosie Posie.

Thanks for taking a look!
