Thanks Card

Hello  Scrappin' Friends!!

Sharing with you today a "Thanks" card that I made using this weeks Retrosketches Sketch . Although it shows a square card I made mine the standard card size.   I also used my September Birds of a Feather kit with the papers from The "Close Knit" collection from Crate paper.  Love this kit with the matching embellishments.  The THANKS Letter stickers are from American Crafts.  All the other embellishments are from Crate paper.  Love how easily cards and layouts come together when you have sketches and matching kits!!

Dom and Lilly- Cousins Layout


Hello Scrappy Friends!
I love this months Birds of a Feather Collection.   It has this awesome Crate Paper "Close Knit" paper and embellishments in it that I just had to use to scrap these pics of my son and niece.  I printed out the pics in sepia  and Love the outcome of this layout.  The paper and the stitched border embellisments are all from the Close Knit Collection. The left photo has a photo overlay also from this kit.  Looks beautiful in real life!   The camera stamp is from the kit as well and is from Inkadinkadoo.  I had in my stash the Burlap flower, ribbon and Alphabet Letters to finish it off.

You are Radiant!

Happy Monday!! 
I suppose it is Happy right?  Sure wish it was the weekend again so I can scrap some more.  I was able to get some scrappin in this past weekend so I will have a couple of things to share with you this week.  Of course my September Birds of a Feather kit helped me feel creative so I could get my scrappy fix!!  :-)
Here is a card I made using the Authentique Be-YOU-tiful collection in this months kit.  Look at these COLORS {sigh}  I love them!  The Apricot flowers are from Petaloo and I cut out the others from the patterned paper.  I added some bling and sparkles to complete the look. This card is for a BRIDE TO BE (shush don't show her! lol)  I am happy with the outcome!  What do you think?

Thinking of You

Happy Friday!
I am still making cards with  the Deconstructed Sketch this week and made this card.   On this one I used my Close to my heart Stamp "A Blossom" stamp set.  You can use the Cricut Art Philosophy to cut out the flowers just perfect!!   Super easy.  The leaves are a sizzlet from Stampin up.  Added some bling and seam binding ribbon as well.    Don't you love the colors?

Wonderful Fabulous You Card

Hello Scrappy friends,  
I made this Thank you card for a special teacher who has really been great to Dom so far this year.  It uses the sketch from Deconstructed Sketch and My Minds eye papers.  The stamp is from Close to my Heart and I love the two images with Birds and flowers in this set!  Plus the two sentiments "Wonderful Fabulous You" and " Friends Forever" are just too sweet.   I stamped the image in Desert Sand ink and then used my Water brush and ink pads to color in the bird. I stamped the flowers again and cut them out and popped them up on pop dots for some dimensions.  Then added some mocha pearls from Close to my heart and a Burlap flower from Pink Paislee.  Sketches save me every time when I need to make a card.

3 Months old!!

Looking back.............
Oh my!!  My son is 13 years old now.  Bigger and Taller then me already!  A honor roll student, Boy Scout and Football Player.  How is it that time went by sooooo fast.   Here he is just 3 months old!  I love this picture!!!  I was digging in a box of pics and said I NEED to scrap this one.   I am so glad I got out of that "need to scrap chronologically" That was for the birds --- for me anyway.  I think it's important to scrap what inspires you at that moment.  So here is my layout.



I used a kit I had from Birds of a Feather that was perfect for this picture. The paper , embellishments and enamel dots are all  from My Minds Eye.  And Studio Calico Veneer Wooden shapes.  I just love looking at it.  It makes me HAPPY!

Happy Anniversary!

Happy Friday!!! 
  I am so happy it's Friday and the weather has been great this week and is looking good for the weekend too!!! :-)  WooHoo!! And its time for some FOOTBALL!!

Well back to being scrappy - which I love as well!   I needed to make an Anniversary card so this is what I came up with.



I used the sketch from RetroSketches to get me started. And pulled out my Close to my Heart paper FOR ALWAYS which is a Black, White and cream combo that is elegant.   I used a cuttlebug embossing folder and a Flower from Maya Roads.
The sentiment is a retired one from Close to my Heart.
