Welcome Baby Boy

I have a lot of friends who just had a baby or who are expecting and the majority of them seem to be having boys.  When I saw the colors for  The Playdate Cafe challenge this week I instantly thought about making a baby card.  The paper is from my stash of Daisy Bucket paper (sadly they are no longer in business) and I used my Silhouette to write the sentiment and cut out the star.  I need to be making a lot more of these considering all of the adorable baby boys I have been seeing lately!  Enjoy!

Birthday Bling

This week's challenge over at CAS-ual Fridays is Bring the Bling!  I decided to use pearls instead of rhinestones with these flower stamps because I thought it was more fitting.  Once again I brought out my trusty Silhouette to cut the label and I used my Fancy Pants Designs stamp set (Pollen Dust)  I have been trying to experiment a little more with card sizes and so I did a tall card this time.  I hope you enjoy the bling!

Hero Arts Peacock

I was shopping the other day and I came across this stamp from Hero Arts.  Could this stamp be any more beautiful!  I pulled out my watercolor pencils and went to work.  One of this months challenges at Hero Arts is to use flowers and colored pencils.  I am definitely new to the art of watercolor pencils and shading but I am happy with the results.  The fibers came from my stash and are from EK Success.  Hope you are enjoying a beautiful spring day!  The weather here has been really crazy, but it is sunny today, woohoo!  Enjoy!

CAS-ual Fridays Buttons and Twine

Since my last submission to the CAS-ual Fridays challenge had a little bit of potty humor in it(I couldn't help it, that is how my mind works sometimes) I decided to play it straight this time.  This week's challenge is to use buttons and twine, two of my favorite things!  I stamped the cute flowers with a Fancy Pants Designs clear stamp set and used my favorite twine from The Twinery in honeydew.  I have enjoyed these last two weeks and can't wait to see what the girls come up with for next weeks challenge!

 

Welcome Spring Card

I had so much fun making this tree and tire swing!  One day when I have more stamp sets I will start using more stamps, but until then I am having so much fun with my Silhouette!  This card makes me want to just go outside and lie underneath a tree and enjoy the nice weather.  I hope everyone is enjoying nice spring weather! I am going to enter this into The Play Date Cafe challenge.  Wish me luck!

CAS-ual Fridays Challenge CFC1

This card is for the first ever  CAS-ual Fridays Challenge.  I have to tell you this card was fun to make!  I was trying to think of an original card to make, using text, when I thought about a puppy being paper trained.  It grew from there.  My husband came up with the sentiment, which still makes me giggle.  The puppy is a Silhouette image and the rest was just stuff I had lying around.  I hope you enjoy this silly card.  I think I am going to like Fridays!

Colour Q Challenge #83

So I am entering in my very first card challenge!  It is with Colour Q and I am really excited.  I love the color combinations these ladies come up with each week!  I have been wanting to play around with this kite image from Silhouette, I actually had a dream about it last night!  Goodness gracious, I am obsessed!  All of the diecut images are from the Silhouette and the sentiment is from TPC Studio.
