All you need is love....

Summer at last!!! I have to kick things into gear and start getting crafty again!  This year is just flying by - I can't believe it is June already. Which brings me to this card - which I did for my parents 40th anniversary.  I hope they had a very happy anniversary on the fourth - They were lucky enough to get away and go cruising! 

For this card I played along with the Play Date Cafe and Verve's splitcoast challenge.  I was thrilled to see that TPD's color story of pinks and greens played right into the new BG paper I just picked up at the Ink Pad when I was in NYC over the holiday weekend.  (Any excuse to use new toys right!)

Summer and Sand

Well after this winter I am soooo ready for summer.  If summer is not coming to me, I figure I will just craft a little piece of summer for now.  This was done for the CARDS challenge of a grid card.

Rainbows

Ohh... it feels like spring out today....hopefully it stays :-)  This card sums up the way I feel today - blue skies and rainbows.  This card I did for the CARDS challenge blog - a card with at least 10 buttons.  As I was looking and mentioned that to my guy - he goes "do a rainbow"  So this card is all his fault ;-)

St Patricks Day

Wow - it is hard to believe it is March already - where is this year going!?!? I am hoping that since March came in like a lion this year that it will be going out like a lamb.  I am getting tired of snow and I am ready for spring to come! 

This is a card that I have done for The Play Date Cafe's Challenge of B & W and splash of ANY color and CARDS blog of St. Patrick's Day card. 



Interior

 The fact that it was a St Patricks Day card kinda made the color choice quite easy :-)  but I love the crispness of the green against the white - (can you tell I am ready for spring - and a little color!)  I have been playing a bit more with my Cricut lately, and used a label template from Penny Duncan Creations for the main label.  She has some great files out there - I had been itching to play with some of them.  I will definetly be playing with more in the future!

Wedding Wishes

Okay - so I totally spaced and was supposed to get this one up a couple days ago - but better late than never - right?!?  I did this card for a couple challenges - the Verve challenge over at SCS for the week 4 February challenge and Paper Sundaes (masculine colors).  I think it would make a great fall wedding card - especially if brown is the main color.

Thanks for looking!

Boy was it great to get some crafting time in this weekend! 

It has been a while since I was able to get in my room and get crafty. First up is a card I did for The Play Date Cafe - I love their challenges and this weeks was no exception.  Black and White with a touch of Lilac -I totally agree that Lilac is often overlooked!  It also gave me a chance to play with some backgrounder stamps I had gotten from Cornish Heritage Farms - so sad they closed :-(

It's been a while....

Well...it's been a while but I finally got crafty again after a little break and boy, did it feel good to get back into the thick of it again! I think I needed some major recharging after the holidays!

I did this card with one of my Christmas gifts - I love Boyd's Bears - and to see them in rubber - heaven!  The sketch is from CPS and I used the color scheme from Color Throwdown - I thought it was the perfect colors for Bailey and her Bees! I used colored pencils for the entire image with a little bit of crystal effects for the honey (even though it does not show on the picture)

Thanks for looking - and there will be more to follow later!
