2S4Y and a Couple of Other Things...

We're counting down the days until school is out. Ryan's last day is on Tuesday, but this is the crazy week. I'm going in for Field Day and to help make some stamped TShirts that they will sign on Monday. They got their yearbooks yesterday. He was sooo excited to look through it. :)

I have a few things to share today. First is my card for 2S4Y. I had a lot of fun with this one. I used Dream Street, Cosmo Cricket and MME papers along with a torn book page for this one. The flower is Prima (love it!), the buttons and ribbon are Papertrey Ink and the lace trim is Websters.




This next project is the one I did for Emma's this week. If you visit the Emma's blog you can see the tutorial I did on how to make it. I used a Tattered Angels Glimmer Screen along with lots of Glimmer Mist in Dreamsicle, Lemon Merangue and Lime Twist. I even sprayed it on the Prima butterfuly!





And finally, this last project is one that I had originally done for my Master's entry. It was one of my favorite pages and I'm so excited that they picked it up for the July/August issue. I painted the snowflake stamp and stamped it onto a transparency. While the paint was wet, I added glitter. Once dried, I cut them out, added the brads and topped them off with jewels.






That's it for today! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Label Tulip Challenge

I'm finally posting my last project using the fun Label Tulip May kit. This was the layout I did for May's challenge. The challenge was to scrap something about yourself that not too many people know. I procrastinate. Anything that I don't enjoy doing will be put off until the last minute. I like to think I work best under pressure.

I used Cosmo Cricket, October Afternoon and Sassafrass Lass on this one.






Now for the fun part. You, too, can join in on the challenge. All of the info. is on this thread at Label Tulip. Just scrap something that not too many people know about YOU. Upload it to the Label Tulip gallery and link it to the challenge thread. You'll be entered for a chance to win this fun prize:



So, that's it for today. Have a wonderful weekend and thanks for stopping by!

Raspberry Suite and 2S4Y

A funny thing happened on my way to completing these challenges! I started off this card using Dawn's color challenge and Kazan's sketch.





Well, the card didn't really end up resembling the sketch, so I figured I'd just use it for Dawn's challenge. So, I went back and looked at her blog again and I realized I totally forgot to add the Ripe Avocado. Hee hee! So, it ended up not working for either challenge! But, I like how it turned out, so I decided to just make another card to use for them.

Here's the first card:




I used PTI Damask Design stamps along with Raspberry Fizz paper and ribbon and Spring Moss paper.

Here is my card that actually fit the challenges. I liked the white background, so I kept that.




I used the same papers as the above card. The sentiment is PTI Mega Mixed Messages.
Both cards use Zva crystals that I colored with my Copic markers. I love how I can change the colors of them so easily. I definitely need to invest in some more markers. ;)

Well, thanks so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!

PTI May Blog Hop

First, Happy Memorial Day! I hope all of my American friends are enjoying the first 'unofficial' day of summer. But mostly, I hope you're all remembering our service men and women today. I always think of my dad and what he went through in Korea. I thank God that we have people protecting us and pray that they will come home safely. Most of all, I think of all of those who have lost loved ones in the service. Saying thank you just seems so insignificant in comparison to their sacrifice.

Well, I'm so excited to be a part of Papertrey Ink's May blog hop! I've been wanting to do this the past couple of months and finally found some time to join in on the fun! This month's challenge was to incorporate yellow into a card. So, I used Lemon Tart mixed with Spring Moss. I love the softness of the two colors. The stamps are from the Beyond Basics border set and Mega Mixed Messages. I added a piece of vintage ric rac and some Zva flowers along with PTI buttons and twine. The inking was done with the new tea stain in Chamomile. I've been adding it to everything!





Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great day!

Memorial Day Weekend

So many of our friends are out of town at the beach this weekend. Not us! Too much traffic and crowds. We are just enjoying a few nice, lazy days at home. It's sunny, warm and it really does feel like summer. The grill has been getting a good workout already. :)

I have a couple of cards to share with you today. I made these with the Label Tulip kits this month.

This first one uses some Jillybean Soup papers and Sassafrass Lass felties. Aren't they adorable?




This next one uses Sassafrass Lass chipboard, flowers and the packaging from the felt guys.




That's it for today. Have a great weekend!

2S4Y and Raspbery Suite Challenges

Things have definitely started calming down. The final countdown has begun for school and it's really feeling like summer around here, now. I'm so glad that I had the chance to do two of my favorite challenges this week. This card is based on Laura's 2S4Y sketch and Dawn's Raspberry Suite color challenge. I love the combo she picked!



Here is my take on it.



I used PTI cardstock and Bitty Dot paper. The buttons and ribbon are also PTI as are the stamps. I used Guidelines 2 and Text Messages. I created the border on the right with one of the Guidelines stamps. The gems are Zva. I finished the card and realized I forgot to add a sentiment. But, I decided I like it as is and will just stamp it on the inside later. ;)

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day.

A New Week!

Yay! Last week is over. It was a crazy one! I was sooo busy and just felt like I was constantly having to get somewhere, finish something or get ready for something else. Don't you just love when you get a week like that behind you? To top it off, I've been having some neck/back pain and it just makes everything that much harder to do. But, I went to a spine doctor, got some good meds and they finally seem to be kicking in. I start PT on Monday. So, I'm looking forward to this being a better week. ;)

Here is my project for Emma's this week. I just love how it turned out. Our challenge was to use rubons. I use a whole bunch of Pink Paislee Enchanted ones. I just love that line. I added a lot of BG Porcelain, too. You can check out the Emma's blog to see the other adorable projects!






The Label Tulip kit reveal was on Friday night. Boy, are there some amazing creations in the DT gallery. The main kit is sold out, but the add ons are available. The Little Bitty Pretty One is fabulous!!!

Here are a couple of my projects from this month's kit.
This first page is all about how grateful I am to have had 6 Autumns with Ryan at home. I have loved being a stay at home mom and being with him during this beautiful time of year. He starts school full day in August (sniff, sniff :( ) and I'll be heading back to work. So, this layout is a reminder of the special times we've had.





This next page cracks me up. It's about how he's now making signs when he's mad at me! I had told him we couldn't go to Mc Donald's one day. Of course he argues and asks why a million time. Finally out of frustration I told him "Because I said so!" So, the sign on the bottom is what greeted me when I came out of the shower...





I'll post the rest of my LT projects later in the week.
In the meantime, thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great day. :)
