Celebrate } Twinery & House of Three

Hey there everyone...can I just tell you i'm hooked on twine from The Twinery (which the mailman brought me yesterday)!!!! The colors are so bright and well simply fabulous. I only had time today to create one project, but I can't wait to dig into all of the fun colors that I have now. I had a hard time picking which color to use on the card!!! I could have easily went with at least 3 or 4 different colors on this one :) My project today is a birthday card, since my grandmothers birthday is this weekend I figured I had better get busy on a card!!!

Gotta love the Soiree line from Pink Paislee House of Three, which is the paper I used on this one. I used Charcoal twine from The Twinery, and put it all together with my Xyron adhesive. Well that's all today, just a quick post...thanks for stopping by!!

My Core'dinations Creative Frenzy

Hey there everyone...well I have a fun post today for your viewing pleasure. I am throwing my hat into the ring for the design team call for Core'dinations ColorCore Cardstock, so wish me luck girls :) If you haven't tried it....well you simply must. So many possibilities and let me tell you, the sanding, distressing & inking is way fun with this cardstock! My first project is a card I created using two FAB combos...Core'dinations & Jillibean soup. Up next is a super fun 7 Gypsies receipt holder that I altered. I loved cutting out the flower shapes from the cardstock, sanding it and inking it all up, not to mention all the fun embellies on this one! So here is my last creation for the call. It's a layout featuring Core'dinations & Crate Paper. I used the Tim Holtz embossing folder for this one also. Love the way the gears turned out!!

Well everyone thanks for stopping by....hope you all have a FABULOUS day!!

Junglegym Mania } Echo Park

Ok...so does it make me a bad mother that I have pictures from 9 years ago that I haven't scrapped?!?!?!? You see I think deep down I was saving these pictures for this Playground line from Echo Park :) I so love this line, such fun colors and cool designs.

Here is a close up of the lower right corner.

So what yummy stuff did I use...Echo Park Playground paper line & stickers, Xyron adhesive, Nikki Sivils burlap buttons (blue), Pink Paislee letters (red) ....all of which you can pick up at The Scrapbooking Studio!! Well thanks for stopping by and hope you have a fabulous weekend!!

The Play Date Cafe Challenge 76

Hey there everyone, well today i'm sharing a card I created for the challenge up over at The Play Date Cafe. I love the colors in this challenge!!! Here is my entry for this one.

On this card I started with kraft cardstock for the base. Then I used a piece of off white paper from the LYB Twig line and used my Sanded background stamp with the color Pacific Point. Of course I had to ink the edges with distress brushed corduroy. I cut out some of the leaves to create that flower, punched a 1 1/4" circle out then place a Nikki Sivils burlap button in the center. I added a little bling with the Magnolia crystals, and a beautiful Prima butterfly, and added a little bakers twine. Put it all together with my Xyron adhesive and there you have it. My entry is done :) Thanks for stopping by!!
