Flowers

This week at Crazy Card Party it is my turn to host.

I selected a floral challenge this week, our cards are to feature flowers, any kind of flowers.

At the encouragement of my friends, I tried my hand at some watercolour images awhile back.

I used the coloured images to then create these cards.

I can't wait to see what the other ladies created.

Pop over to Crazy Card Party to check them out!

One Die, Multiple ways

Hello!

This week at Crazy Card Party Patricia wants to all the various ways we can use the same die.

So she gifted each of us with a wreath die and let us go to it!

I created a simple design in cream and kraft with an accent of blue.

Finally Finished!!

Hello!

We don't have a specific challenge over at Crazy Card Party this week so I thought I'd share a few cards I recently finished.

Some of my friends might describe these as ancient.

But better late than never right?

They are from a couple of  classes I took at Stamping Bella quite some time ago.

I am so happy they are done and putting them together has inspired me to colour up some more images.

I'll share more of the finished card class cards in a future post.

Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas in July!

Hello!

This week at Crazy Card Party Regan has selected a Christmas in July theme.

I decided to share some Christmas(2012 and 2013) layouts I finally completed earlier this year.

I dug into my stash to complete these layouts and used some papers I have had for awhile.

A close up of the embellishment cluster.

Playing charades was so fun!

And a couple more  close ups.

Hello Friend!

Hello there!

We don't have a specific challenge over at Crazy Card Party this week so I thought I'd share a card I finished this past weekend.

A few weeks ago, at a local crop, I tried my hand at watercolour and although my first attempt was ghastly my friends encouraged me to keep trying.

I'm so glad I did.

I created several cards from the images I watercoloured and thought I'd share one this week.

This card is dedicated to all my friends especially those who were so encouraging!

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.

Bon Voyage!

Over at Crazy Card Party this week Patricia wants to see our Bon Voyage inspired projects.

I decided to share a few layouts I recently finished from our Tahitian cruise in 2013.

They are layouts of the cruise ship so perfect for this challenge!

I've recently tried my hand at pocket page scrapbooking and am still learning but think it's a great way to quickly scrapbook a lot of photos.

Another pocket page of the ship's interior.

And a traditional scrapbook page.

Thanks for stopping by!

The Shabby Tea Room

Hello everyone!

I saw this inspiration photo over at The Shabby Tea Room, and although I haven't participated in their challenges recently, I just had to play along.

Isn't it pretty!!

And although I don't make them often I do have a weakness for shabby chic cards.

So here's my take on the inspiration:

I've pulled in the colours, the flowers, the lacey look to the stand through the use of the doily and of course the teapot!

Hope you like it and thanks so much for stopping by!



Supplies used:  Papertrey Ink - cardstock, dies; Spellbinders - die; Kaisercraft - patterned paper, pearls; Stampin' Up - stamp; Momento - Ink

Crazy Card Party - Vintage

Hello!

Time for another CCP challenge and this week Sharon wants to see those vintage inspired cards.

I created this card for Mother's Day with the vintage challenge in mind:

I think the paper along with the burlap and ribbon all combine to give this card a vintage vibe.

Thanks for stopping by!

Crazy Card Party - Going to the Birds

This week over at Crazy Card Party, Kathryn wants to see cards featuring birds.

And luckily I took a photo of this one before I gave it away:

I borrowed my Mom's Stampin' Up punch for this card and am liking the colour combination of blue and green.

Thanks for stopping by!
