Polka Dot Card for Raspberry Suite Challenge #19

While my little boy was taking his nap I decided to put together a card for Dawn's Color Challenge. I just bought a circle punch on sale from Michaels so decided to do a little polka dot action along with some puffy letters. I certainly enjoyed making this card with my free time today!
Hope you enjoyed and thanks for stopping by!

EBTKS Sketch Challenge

This week I gave the EBTKS sketch challenge a try. My card below uses Papertrey Kraft cardstock, along with Cosmo Cricket "Early Bird" pattern paper. At first I was really unsure of this particular pattern paper, but I have grown to love it!! It is actually almost gone! I have been a little obsessed with sewing on cards lately, so I just had to add some thread!
Stamp set : THE ANGEL COMPANY Trendy Greetings
Ribbon: Papertrey Ink

Embellish Owl Color Challenge




When I saw the new challenge on the Embellish Magazine blog I was so excited! I absolutely love the colors and I am so in love with Owls right now, so it was the perfect challenge for me to try. I have been watching their challenges for a while but I always seem to miss the deadlines so this is the first one I caught in time. I used Papertrey's Spring Moss, Dark Chocolate, and Berry Sorbet along with ribbon by Offray. The sentiment is from PTI'S vintage pinic and the little owl is from Studio G, I also used PTI's vintage labels and Background basic text style 2.
Thanks for stopping bye,

A quick little card!


Well, this is my second post of the day, so I will make it a quick one. I put this little card together using some scrap packing material that came with my new PTI stuff!! I had seen crinkle paper somewhere before but I can't remember where and I currently don't have a crinkle machine so when I saw this I thought it would be perfect for a card!! All the material is from PTI except the sentiment which is from TAC and also the ribbon is Hobby Lobby.


Thanks for stopping by have a safe and happy weekend! We are off to see some family back home with my son dressed up like a porcupine.

Plum Crazy challenge

The minute I saw the "Plum Crazy" post on the Moxie Fab site I knew I had to do something! I absolutely love this color and it is perfect for the type of card I had in mind, vintage. Plum is such a rich color that screams vintage to me. I just got my PTI order and was super excited to use my new Vintage Label stamps, which is a must have in any ones stamp collection. I had been searching through the Marthat Stewart website a couple days ago and found quilling instructions. "She has such a beautiful site I just love everything Martha Stewart!!" So anyway all of those things together helped my card come together!

A card kit





I have been writing back and forth to my sister in law (she is 13) since they moved farther away. I have been wanting to have a day where we work on cards, but it has been hard to get her over our way so I decided to put together a simple little card kit.
Here is a picture of the kit before sending it:
This last card is something I put together for my nephews 2nd birthday!
