Just sittin' here thinking of you!

I loved this stamp set, On my Couch, when I saw it, but I waited to buy it. It has so many fun possibilities!

I used Taylor's Sketch challenge to help with the layout of my card.



The card uses Polka Dot Basics, Background Basics: Retro and On my Couch and the colors Enchanted Evening, Smokey Shadow and White.

Happy birthday

Good morning! The weather is finally cooling off a bit, which means fall will soon be here, may favorite season! I made this card with those thoughts in mind, although I'm not sure if blue mums exist!

I used Jen del Muro's SFYTT 26 for the layout of my card and the stamps from Autumn Abundance, Polka Dots Basics, Vintage Picnic for the sentiment.

August Blog Hop!!

I love this day...it's so fun to see what everyone has come up with! This month's theme: "August is the month that Papertrey celebrates all things autumn!" I played around with my Autumn Abundance set and practiced coloring with my Copics.



I definitely think of leaves when I think Autumn... the crunch under feet, raking them up and for my kids- jumping in the piles!



Thanks for coming by!

RSCC #15 and CPS #130

So I worked really hard on this card...starting it as a smaller size and then resizing the pieces for 5x7 card...but after all my work, I don't like it! I'm not sure what exactly I don't like...



I used a whole lot of stamps on this card and followed the CPS Sketch #130 as well as Dawn's Raspberry Suite Color Challenge #15 . And this also qualifies for our Papertrey Princess Challenge given by Lee to use a sketch.

Thanks for stopping by and hope this card won't scare you away in the future!!

Ladybug Frame

My friend asked me to make a picture frame for her to give as a gift and wanted me to include ladybugs. This is what I came up with.



I first traced the frame onto the back of the paper so I knew where to cut, and I trimmed off a bit more on each outside edge. I painted the front and back of the frame a charcoal gray to match the Cosmo Cricket paper. Once it dried, I adhered the paper with Scor-Tape and stamped and colored the ladybugs. I added some diamond stickles to each one and adhered with pop dots.

SPCC #11

Hope you're having a great start to the weekend! This is my first time playing along with the Scrapmaster's Paradise Color Combo . I don't have SU! colors, so I used Dark Chocolate, White and Spring Moss from Papertrey Ink.



I used In Bloom and create a background with the leaves. I then stamped the flowers twice each and cut the centers out to pop them up. The sentiment is heat embossed.



Thanks for having a look!
