Dreaming of Pink Somethings

Hi!

I hope everyone is having a Happy Easter.

I created this card a couple of days ago for this week's Stamp
Something challenge. Which is Pink somethings.

Well, this is the week I go to the Dr to see what's up with my
body. I've been having a visit from Mother Nature every 2 weeks
since December. Which doesn't necessarily help with our house
getting to hear the pitter patter of little "human" feet. Don't get me
wrong I love my boys Einstein and Newton but it would be nice to
have a little person who looks a little like me and dh.

That's where I found my inspiration to create this card(the little "human"
feet). The image is of course from The Stamping Boutique. Tracey does
some spectacular artwork.

Happy Crafting.

Sending Sunshine & 2 DT Calls

Hi!

Although, I've been cooped up in the house today. It's been by choice and
partially because it rained yesterday.

I'm definitely hoping it will be bright and sunny tomorrow. Especially since
we're going to my in-laws to BBQ.

And to help motivate me I created this card.

Well, also because they are doing a DT call over at Splendid Stamping with
The Greeting Farm. I just love those Anyas and Ians.

Currently, I only own digi Anyas. This one is Alice Anya. Although, I did order a set during Farmers Market on Thursday. But if you missed that then you definitely don't want to miss the great special for all Club Anya members tomorrow which is FREE Shipping.

If I can figure out how over my scrapping allowance I am this month maybe I can get dh to let me purchase another set tomorrow.

The sketch for this card comes from Stamp Something. They have 4 DT spots that are becoming available at the end of this month. And all month long they have been not
just having their weekly challenges but also with each challenge you also can submit that card to be considered for the DT call. This is actually the last opportunity, so if you love Stamp Something and would love the opportunity to be on the DT then you won't want to miss this last chance.

The sketch was created by one of the departing DT members. Check it out here.

Also Stamp Something is celebrating their blogoversary and they have some great blog candy up for grabs. Check it out here.

Mother's Day Gift Card + DT Call

Inside:

Hi!

This is my Mother's Day card for my mil.

The card inside is NOT the gift. We still have to run to the store to get it.

The challenge over at CCEE Stampers is to make something for Mother's Day.

The challenge over at Stamp Something is to create "Something for a Mom". And also they are doing a DT call over at Stamp Something.

For the DT call we are to CASE a card created by the fabulous Cindy. Who is leaving the DT, btw she's being very generous this week by donating the blog candy.

This is Cindy's card that I CASEd from her blog.

I love this card that Cindy created and that's why I Copy and Selectively Edited it.

I changed:

• the size of the card to a 4x4 rather than Standard card size
• changed the stamp
• changed the border punch to my Martha Stewart Floral Lace Edge Punch
• removed the sentiment from the front of the card
  

I hope my mil likes it. I always worry because she owns the local scrapbook store and so she sees cards all the time.

Materials Used:

Stamps: SU! Polka Dot Punches

Paper: CM Cardstock White, Brown, Taffy, Raspberry, SU! Sweet Always Ink: SU! Chocolate Chip

Accessories: CM Circle Shapemaker, Martha Stewart Floral Lace Edge Punch, Nestabilities Labels One

Happy Crafting.

Time to Relax

Hi!

Since I'm not feeling well today. It was time that I relaxed and this is the perfect card for that.

I love these designer papers, although I don't remember who made them. They remind me of the Lilly Pulitzer line. Which I think is just fresh and summery.

I created this card for the Stamp Something Challenge - Summer in Winter Somethings.

I used the card sketch challenge on Card Positioning System CPS#100

Materials Used:

Stamps: Studio G stamp

Paper: Archiver's Cardstock Ivory, CM Cardstock White, Honeydew, Taffy, Pink Lemonade

Ink: VersaColor VC-82 Black, Copic YG11 Mignonette, RV13 Tender Pink

Hi!

I created this recipe card for the Stamp Something challenge this week which is to create something with or about recipes.

I'm a total lemonade-aholic. The best none homemade lemonade is Simply Lemonade. The best fast food place to get lemonade is Chick-fil-A. And this is the best recipe I have for making lemonade.

Whenever we have family that's gone somewhere to get fresh lemons right off the tree they always give them to me. Because like I said I'm a lemonade-aholic.

And it's a habit that I'm not going to give up.

It may be cold outside but go make some lemonade and it will give you a sunny feeling.

Materials Used:

Stamps: SU! Little Flowers, Studio G stamp

Paper: CM Cardstock White, Taffy, Cactus, Butter Ink: Stazon SZ-52 Cactus Green, Marvy Brush Marker No. 18 dark brown, CM Basic Set Fine Tip

Accessories: American Crafts Spring Ribbon Spool, Cuttlebug Swiss Dots Embossing Plate, Quickutz Recipe Card die

Happy Crafting.
